Summary: You're living in a zombie apocalypse where your current struggles have brought you to a small town where you meet a strange zombie.

"The zombie, which hasn’t immediately attacked you, strikes you as odd. It doesn’t seem violent, but you know that can’t be true. If anything, it seems startled by your presence."

Autumn leaves rustle on the ground, the wind blowing them down the streets as you walk hurriedly. You’d left your house, your very own sanctuary that you built with your own hands, to run into town to look for supplies. You were stocked on most things, but you found yourself running low on medical supplies (you had a bit of a nasty run-in with a handful of zombies a few nights ago) and ammunition (for the same reason you ran low on medical supplies). 

For the last year, you were nearly sure you were one of the last remaining humans in your town. You hadn’t seen or as much as heard a peep from people, which was somewhat uncommon. If there were groups of armed people holed up somewhere, you would have eventually run into them when out on supply runs. 

The echo of your steps is the only source of sound in the otherwise quiet town. You can hear the faint grunts and groans of zombies in the distance, but the sounds aren’t close enough to draw any sense of alarm. Still, you had your hammer ready in case you were surprised. 

You weren’t feeling hopeful today with the potential outcome of your supply run. Medical supplies and ammunition generally were rare to find, but in a town where most humans were wiped out? Yeah, fat chance. You felt a growing pit of anxiety forming in your stomach. Never run low: that’s what you drilled into yourself whenever it came to medical supplies and ammunition. How could you let yourself get so careless? You should have never put yourself in this situation to start with.

Your eyes scanned over the abandoned and ruined buildings, moss and vines covering the exteriors and forcing their way inside through broken windows. Damaged bricks lay discarded and forgotten on the ground. Most places had already been ransacked by both you and other survivors. You knew markets had little to provide, and long-forgotten homes had been stripped of anything valuable they once had. There was, however, one place in town that most people avoided. The feeling of anxiety grows larger within you, threatening to break out. You didn’t want to go to that section of town, but you were low on options. You needed medical supplies and ammunition desperately; if you wanted to survive, you’d have to take calculated risks. Running a dirty hand through your hair, a shaky exhale forces itself past your lips as you head toward the town’s police station. 

The police station was a place to avoid for several reasons. However, the most pressing one was that it was located right on the outskirts of town. You tried to avoid the outskirts of town as much as possible. Zombies always seemed to linger in groups that could easily overpower someone traveling alone. The police station also had a small jail toward the back of the building, which became an issue once people started dropping dead and turning. Many of the prisoners were still in their cells, turned years ago. It was just a place you didn’t like to be around, but you also knew many survivors shared that sentiment. If you wanted to get the supplies you were so desperately in need of, you knew the police station would more than likely have it. However, there was a risk that you may end up using all the supplies just trying to get back out of the station. 

You stop short in front of the station. The building looks the same as the rest of the infrastructure in town. Something, likely a herd of zombies, had pushed in the front doors that were now barely attached to the hinges. Bloody handprints had been smeared on the remaining glass, and from what you could tell from where you stood, the inside didn’t look much better. You could see the center of the reception room, papers discarded and dumped on the tiled floor. Inhaling and giving yourself a false sense of confidence, you step inside the station. 

The first thing you noticed was how quiet it was. No grunts, no moans, no shaky breaths. Your dominant hand grips the hammer tighter. It was rare for the police station to be empty; there were almost always zombies roaming around the building. You can hear your heartbeat in your ears, pounding away as you scan the room for any threats. The air held a musty and metallic smell, and you could see thick layers of dust on the plastic chairs that sat haphazardly in the room. Slowly, carefully, you walk behind the receptionist's desk, looking for anything useful. Nothing, but that didn’t shock you. Survivors brave enough to break into the station usually only made it to the receptionist area. Not many were brave, or for lack of a better word, stupid enough to push further. Luckily (or unluckily), you were stupid enough to do such a thing. 

Moving through the reception area and toward the back of the station, you knew the likelihood of finding supplies increased. You swallow nervously, glancing around as you push through the building. Somehow, it became more nerve-wracking the longer you went without running into anything. The lights are out, thanks to the power outage from the outbreak. Still, you weren’t anticipating just how dark the building grew the further you pushed. You knew you had to be getting close to the jail based on the lack of windows. 

You blink several times, trying to get your eyes to adjust to the darkness. You hated being in the dark, something you didn’t initially have a fear of until you found yourself living in a world full of blood-thirsty monsters. Your mind would play tricks on you, conjuring up distorted images of things lurking in the shadows, hiding behind every corner. Whenever you found yourself in the dark, it became incredibly difficult for you to stay focused, to separate reality and hallucinations. You close your eyes, forcing yourself to stay grounded in the moment. Losing yourself to panic would only cause more trouble. Opening your eyes again, you grab a flashlight in your bag. Once on, the flashlight illuminates the room with a narrow tunnel of light, giving you an idea of where you’re at in the building. You had been right; you were in the jail portion of the police station. Lifting your flashlight, you freeze when seeing the outline of something right in front of you. 

Disorientated from the darkness, it takes your brain a moment to process that you are staring directly at someone or something’s chest. Before a scream can erupt from your lungs and you lose yourself completely to panic, you throw yourself back, trying to put as much distance as possible between whatever’s in the room with you. You aim your flashlight, the light revealing a zombie in the corner of the room, visibly startled by your sudden movement. You glance from the zombie to your hammer, noting that it’s of significant size for an ordinary zombie. It didn’t seem like a Griever, the deadliest zombie from the outbreak. That relieved you; you didn’t think you could take on a Griever of that size without a gun. It was the risk you carried when traveling into town; the sound of a gun firing could attract all types of zombies from all over. You were exposed enough as it was in town; you didn’t need to make it worse for yourself. 

You didn’t want to fight the zombie with your hammer. It was large and could easily overpower you. Your pistol is in your bag as a last option, but you couldn’t risk alerting more zombies to your location. The palm of your hand is sweating as your grip around the hammer tightens, your knuckles turning white. Cautiously, you take a slow step back, desiring to add more space between you. The zombie, which hasn’t immediately attacked you, strikes you as odd. It doesn’t seem violent, but you know that can’t be true. 

Without warning, the zombie lunges for you, its hands outstretched as it runs toward you. You force a scream down as you stumble back, unthinkingly swinging the hammer out in front of you, striking at the air. You back into something, feeling cool metal pressing against your back. It’s bars to a jail cell. 

Making a rash and sudden decision, you yank the door to the cell open, darting inside and slamming the door shut behind you. You stumble back against the wall as you watch the large zombie trying to squeeze its arms through the gaps of the cell door. Your chest rises and falls, eyes dilated and wide as you try to make out your dark surroundings. You must’ve dropped your flashlight in the struggle because you were again thrown into darkness. You place a shaky hand on your chest, trying to calm your nerves. You were away from the zombie, but now, admittedly, you were trapped in a pitch-black jail cell. The full gravity of your decision begins to settle over you. You have no medical supplies, you’re low on ammunition, you’re without a light source, and you’re trapped in a jail cell with limited food and water on your person. Feeling panic welling inside you, you struggle to keep it at bay. Throwing yourself into a jail cell has to be the most impulsive decision you’ve made, and it may just cost you your life. You’re only lucky that you managed to pick a cell that wasn’t already holding a zombie.

“Fuck.” You mutter under your breath, watching wearily as the zombie continues its assault on your cell. You had no idea how long it would take before the bars would give out under the zombie. Sure, it was a heavy metal door, but this was also a larger-than-average zombie. You had no idea the strength it held. You watch as the zombie begins to slowly lose interest, another thing that strikes you as odd. Typically, even if a zombie couldn’t reach you, it’d try to get to you as long as it could see you. Hunger was not something that ever went away with zombies. It was what drove them to survive, what drove them to keep going. You were a free ticket to a hot meal as far as this zombie was concerned, and yet… 

You observe how it still lingers by the door, its hands wrapping around the cool metal of the cell bars. It’s watching you closely, its eyes following your every move, no matter how small—the zombie’s groaning, something that sends a shiver up your spine. Regardless of how long you’ve been stuck in this hell, the sounds of zombies never stopped creeping you out. The zombie pulls weakly at the bars; odd. Why would it pull so weakly when you both knew it could easily apply more strength? You were at the mercy of this zombie, and surely you both knew that. Your eyes narrow suspiciously as you feel backed into the wall behind you, your back pressed flat against the cool, bricked surface. 

You needed to plan your escape, but escaping while this monster hovered around your cell wouldn’t do you any good. You lost your flashlight, and while your eyes have been slowly adjusting, you were still at a steep disadvantage. You still have your hammer, but you ultimately knew it wouldn’t do much in a fight against this guy. You could lodge it in its eye and run for it, but then you’re without a weapon. As morbid as it was, your only hope would be if another poor soul wound up here and took its attention off you. You never prayed on the downfall of another human, but if it was the only thing standing between you and getting back home, then you just might. 

You’re pulled from your thoughts when you see movement in front of you, watching in curiosity as the zombie slowly sits down in front of the cell door. It wasn’t like zombies to sit and wait for their prey; they usually just continued to groan and pound away at whatever was blocking them. This zombie was nothing like one you’ve encountered, and its odd behavior was only stacking up in front of you. “What are you?” You find yourself asking, knowing you won’t get anything in response. And true enough, you don’t, except for a grunt. If you weren’t so hung up on how to get out of this situation, you’d probably be taking notes on this zombie, trying to learn about its behavior and unnatural size and classify its type. 

It’s still quiet in the jail, something that hasn’t gone unnoticed by you. You wonder if the zombie in front of you is the reason for the lack of other zombies in the building. That thought sends another shiver up your spine; if this zombie could keep other zombies out of this building, how strong was this beast? Your grip on the hammer tightens as you try to keep as much distance as possible despite the cell door acting as a barricade. You chew on your bottom lip anxiously, your stomach already growling. Pushing the thought of food aside, you look down at your left ankle. It was swollen, ballooning in your shoe. Your ankle was the main reason you were out for medical supplies. During your last run-in with zombies, you sprained it when fleeing. However, with the current state of your ankle, you’re starting to suspect that you might be suffering from a sort of fracture, and you’re even more sure that trying to escape this zombie earlier only made it worse. You should have waited until your ankle healed more; patience in a zombie apocalypse was vital, but it seems it was something you lacked. 

Your ankle was throbbing as you sat, and you started to wonder just how fucked of a situation you landed yourself in. You glance back up to see the zombie still staring at you. It’s strange, but what’s even stranger, you think, is how you aren’t unnerved by its stare. You don’t feel anything. You shake your head, trying to steady yourself. If you get lost in your thoughts now, if you let your panic consume you, you are dead. There was no other way about it. So, instead of letting yourself get wrapped up in your head, you needed to focus on-

“H…el…p.” 

Your head snaps up, and your eyes widen as you scan the area as best you can while stuck in the dark cell. Was someone else in here with you? Was someone also stuck in a cell? A prisoner, maybe? Or someone in a very similar situation to yours? “Hello? Who’s there?” You didn’t bother hiding your voice, you were nearly positive that there was only one zombie back here with you, despite you not fully understanding what kind of zombie this was. “Are you injured?”

You were met with silence, and you felt your eyes narrowing in the darkness as you tried to pinpoint the direction the voice was coming from. “Hello?” You try again, waiting on bated breath. After what feels like an eternity, you finally hear a response. 

“Not… injured.” You’re confused by this. They’re not injured, but why are they replying as if they are? “You… injured?” 

“What?” You’re straining to hear the person, and the more you strain, the more you’re uncertain that you might be going insane and hallucinating the entire conversation. You’re so absorbed in this conversation that you inch yourself closer to the cell bars, your fingers wrapping around the rusty metal, the zombie the last thing on your mind. 

Suddenly, the zombie’s face is blocking your view, pressed against the cold metal bars. You let out a surprised yelp, throwing yourself away from the bars and zombie and back against the brick wall. The overly large zombie is pressing itself into the bars with its hands outstretched towards you. You notice it’s not moving aggressively but slowly and curiously. “In…jured.” Okay, now you know you’re going crazy because there’s no way you just saw and heard a zombie attempting to communicate with you. There’s just no way. The zombie points at your swollen ankle with its outstretched hand as if to prove a point. 

“Yeah… injured.” You repeat slowly, not quite believing that this thing is speaking to you. Or that you’re responding to it. There’s a beat of silence as the zombie stares at you, its head tilting. You’re unsure if it's trying to speak or thinking of eating you. 

“Why?” The zombie’s voice is rough and raw. You assume this is because its vocal cords are damaged, and possibly because it hasn’t spoken in who knows how long. You look down at your ankle, bruises blooming across your skin. 

“Because I sprained it. Maybe fractured it. I don’t know.” You offer lamely. Why are you talking with a zombie? Are you really that desperate for some kind of human interaction, even if it comes in the form of a bloodthirsty monster? You look up when hearing the zombie grunt. You’re unsure if that was a response, or just the zombie grunting for the sake of grunting. It’s still pitch black, but your eyes have somewhat adjusted. You can see the outline of muscles and the torn fabric on its dirty and bloodied clothes. It looks like a type of uniform, but you couldn’t figure out what. The zombie has shaggy hair and strands of grown-out bangs covering its eyes. Its hand is still out stretched toward you, the other clutching onto a bar of the cell. There’s dirt packed under its broken and chipped nails. You spot what looks like a nametag on the monster’s chest. “What’s your name?” You don’t know why you’re asking. Maybe to give the zombie some human element, to make it less scary. Or maybe you’re trying to prove to yourself that this whole situation isn’t made up. 

The silence stretches out, lasting so long that you almost forget the zombie is there. You begin to wonder if you did imagine the scenario. “B…Beelze…bub.” Huh. Odd name. You rub your hands against your face, crouching over as you try to comprehend everything. Odd name aside, the zombie answered your question. You asked for a name and it gave you a name. Which meant the zombie understood your question and has been asking you questions and responding in kind. 

“How is this possible?” You ask out loud as you lean your head against the brick wall behind you. You’ve never heard of this happening; you never imagined this happening. A talking zombie that isn’t immediately trying to kill and eat you? It’s as if you fell into a completely different world. Were there others like it? Was it possible for a community of zombies to exist? The zombie, or Beelzebub, only stared in response. Perhaps it was letting you think things over, or maybe its vocal cords were on the verge of giving out. You could also be crazy.

You lean back against the wall again, your swollen and throbbing ankle nearly forgotten. “Will you eat me if I get out of here?” It was a question you did but didn’t want to be answered. You were stuck in this situation because of it, and it did try to attack you earlier. You also figured you’d ask this before asking if it would help free you from your cell. 

“Y…es…” 

Solid. You managed to find the only talking zombie in town, maybe even the world, and it still wants to eat you. You’re not sure how to feel about that. You needed to think of a way out of this. “What if you let me out, you know, find a key or something, and then you don’t eat me?” Beelzebub stares at you with an expressionless face. You’re fairly sure you see it blink one eye at a time. However, a lightbulb goes off in your head; bargaining with it might work. “Uh, if you get me a key and get me out of here, without eating me,” you find yourself emphasizing, “I’ll help you find animals to eat or something.” You haven’t seen humans in town for a long time, so you don’t know the last time Beelzebub ate. Could zombies last for periods without eating? “So? What do you think? Pretty sweet deal, right?” You fully intended on ditching this zombie as soon as it lets you out. Hopefully, it can’t tell. 

Still, you don’t receive anything in response. It’s still staring. “Key? You know, the shiny metal thing that unlocks doors? Cells?” You make a gesture with your hand in the air, mimicking unlocking a door with a key. “You know? Key?” You’re starting to sound desperate; you’re also stuck in a cell with a talking zombie for company. Is desperation really that bad of a look? 

The zombie grunts before pushing itself away from the cell bars and standing up. It turns its back to you, shuffling away quietly. Either it’s looking for a key, or it got bored of you. You’ll gladly take either option at this point. 

You sit for several minutes, trying to brainstorm ways of escape with your near-useless ankle, while also being located in the back of the police station, possibly the most dangerous place to be in town. You were also without a weapon other than your hammer, and missing your flashlight. Maybe you could brute force your way out of here? Bang on the bars enough until they give way? No, that’s ridiculous. You could try lockpicking your way out; you’ve seen it done in movies before. Maybe if you found something like a paperclip or even your fingernail-

Clank.

Your thoughts are interrupted when you feel something hard and cold bounce off your forehead. You look to the ground to see a shiny metal key by your hand. Looking up, you see Beelzebub staring at you from the other side of the cell bars. “Really? You threw it at my head?” But most importantly, this zombie fetched you a key. You asked for a key and it retrieved a key for you. Whether it’s the proper key or not is yet to be seen, but still, you find this astonishing. 

“Key.” It grunts out and leans against the bars again, its expression unreadable. 

“Key.” You repeat and slowly lean forward to pick up the small object. “And you’ll let me unlock the door? Without trying to eat me?” You cast a suspicious look the zombie’s way. It only grunts in response, and you struggle to decide how to take that as an answer. Regardless, your options are limited, and you don’t have much in the way of supplies when it comes to food and water. Inhaling deep, you push yourself off the ground and force your way to the door. If it tries to attack you, you can always try to outrun it. Doing so might prove slightly challenging with your ankle, but adrenaline can do wonderful things for the human body. “Can you take a step back?” You ask as you approach the cell’s bars. Unlocking the cell with your hand outstretched, a feeling of unease washes over you. The thought of it potentially seizing your hand at any moment kept you on guard, emphasizing the need for caution. It could grab your hand at any moment and bite down, why wouldn’t you be hesitant? 

You watch in slight relief as Beelzebub takes a step back, and you quickly reach your hand between the bars to unlock the door with the key. With a loud click the lock opens. You swiftly slide the door open and run for it. You don’t bother looking for your flashlight or even checking for other zombies. You just run. Your feet feel heavy as they hit the ground and a searing pain swiftly travels up your ankle with each step. How long you could keep going remained unknown as you raced away from Beelzebub. It was a relief to know that Beelzebub wasn't a Griever, but its true nature remained a mystery. Could it match the speed of a Griever? Possess greater strength? These were questions to which you had no desire to find answers.

Running down the hall, you suddenly hear loud footsteps approaching from behind. The light from the reception area is just starting to become visible. You refuse to look back and instead pick up your pace. Your ankle is screaming in agony, but you couldn’t afford to stop now. This entire thing was a bust, and you knew you’d be getting out of this situation more fucked up than you were before. 

The light is an overwhelming assault on your eyes the moment you step foot into the reception. Your vision is white as you stumble blindly, your hands outstretched as you try to grab onto a nearby item for support. You had to get your shit together and fast. The police station was always a hot spot for zombie activity and you were completely exposed. You were blinded, your ankle was an absolute mess, and you only had a hammer to defend yourself with. As your vision slowly returns, a rough hand lands on your shoulder from behind, and you struggle to suppress a blood-curdling scream. You spin around, your ankle nearly going out in the process, only to be met with Beelzebub’s fogged-over eyes. 

“Human… lied.” You swallow the growing lump in your throat as you stare up at the monster before you. Now in the light, you can see just what you’re dealing with. The zombie’s tall, but not taller than a Greiver. It’s muscular too, which oddly enough, brings some comfort. Grievers were not known for being muscular, but that didn’t mean this zombie couldn’t seriously mess you up either. 

You noticed the uniform it had on was that of a police officer, and the nametag did in fact display the name Beelzebub. So, your zombie friend was once a cop and this is likely where it died and became a zombie. Interesting. “Human prom…ised… food.” You can feel a thin layer of sweat forming on your skin as its eyes bore down into you. Hopefully, it doesn’t consider you to be the food. “Human ran. Human left. I let… human out.” It seemed angry, that much was clear. Your throat was running dry, and any and all words in your head died as soon as they reached your tongue. 

“I, uh…” Could you seriously not think up any excuse? “Forgot?” On second thought, maybe it would’ve been better to stay quiet. The look on Beelzebub’s face tells you it doesn’t quite believe your words either. “Alright, look. I was nervous. Can you blame me? You’re a talking zombie and I’m your five-course meal. How am I supposed to believe that you won’t try to eat me the second my guard is down?  What if you call your zombie buddies to tell them you found the hottest meal ticket in town?” 

“Zombie… budd…ies?” There’s a look of confusion on Beelzebub’s face as it stares down at you. 

“You’re missing the point entirely.” 

“B…Beelze…bub hun...gry.” A sigh leaves you as the insistent zombie stands before you. You briefly check your surroundings. It was a risk standing in an area as open as reception. You were no stranger to the types of zombies that lingered by the police station, and you didn’t want to draw a crowd. You needed to hurry this up. 

“Look, if I feed you an animal or something, will you leave me alone?” You don’t know why you’re even trying to bargain with this thing; possibly because you want to get out of here and can’t outrun it. The zombie nods its head, or at least the best it can. “Fine, fine. Follow me and I’ll lead you back to my home. I have food there. Meat.” The word meat seems to do the trick, as the zombie’s eyes widen and it seems overall more aware. “Attack me though and I’ll kill you.” It doesn’t look very intimidated by your hammer or you. 

Once you two agree (if you can call it that), you look around the reception area. You don’t see any zombies lingering outside. It was just as clear as when you first came in. That was weird. Normally there are at least a dozen, and the fact that there were none when you first arrived or even now leaves a sour taste in your mouth. Uneasiness aside, you didn’t want to wait around for more to show up. “Alright, follow me. Stay close behind,” you turn around to narrow your eyes suspiciously at the zombie, “but not too close, and don’t get lost because I won’t come looking for you.” You couldn’t believe you were actually considering bringing a zombie home with you. 

You couldn’t see this ending well.

During the time limit motive Ouma very loudly announced to everybody that he was going to sit in his room, empathizing that he was going to be alone, and I think it was Iruma who said about it sounding like he was asking to be killed or something with relatively similar implication.

I mean, I'm certain he believed he could convince whoever came after him not to go through with it, but he's also too smart to completely disregard the possibility of them trying to kill him, anyway.

My point is, Ouma was already willing to risk his life in the very first chapter. That, and his reputation for the sake of the group (infamous calling Akamatsu out on pushing everybody too hard). Though I would also say it's a bit different than the press situatiom, as in risking his life vs completely giving it.

Oh yeah he’s definitely doing something there, I wonder how he would have reacted if someone tried, I bet he booby trapped the door or something. He has no problem using himself as bait, it’s just that sense of “I die so you live” some people give him that I really struggle with. He’s willing to risk his life, but a risk is different then a direct sacrifice. One’s a calculated move of risk reward and the other is a lot more emotion based then Kokichi is comfortable with.

We know Kokichi has at least some fighting skills thanks to his take down of Kaito, and while he’s certainly not the strongest, the fact that even if he’s pretty tired at the end he was still able to help lift the cage in chapter 3 shows a good amount of strength even if by this point in the game shuichi is stronger. I think he could have a decent fighting chance against a good amount of the class, even without his ability to convince people of things. Hell I would put it past him to wait in his room then immediately sprint out his door wailing at the top of his lungs and force his would be killer to chase him and only like two people are capable of winning that chase

That’s all conjecture though, i guess what I’m trying to say is that Kokichi’s 100% down to gamble his life, but he’s not really down for a direct willing sacrifice, and is very willing to play dirty for his survival. He’ll weigh odds and gamble on revealing the assassin, but that’s very different from just letting yourself die for someone else.

I suppose it’s kinda pointless to go “this character would NEVER” because there’s always going to be nuance and exceptions. I just get annoyed when Kokichi seems to jump to just letting himself die for someone pretty fast in stories. Like I know it’s dramatic and romantic and I get the appeal and don’t mind if other people enjoy it… but also he would just let them die even if he is secretly dramatically in love with them unless he believes him surviving is somehow the worse logical risk vs reward outcome.

Many say that life is nothing but a cruel game.

That in all her beauty and grace, life is unfair to those who try to live morally within her bounds, only to wind up being the ones to be pushed over the edge in the end. To cop the blow while injustice reigns in the hands of the perpetrator. That once you’ve met your undesirable demise, it’s over.

Second chances are unheard of, don’t get given away freely like menial handouts. The cat never saw past its ninth life to finally pounce on that golden bird it’s been eyeing off for eternity, so why would anyone else be viable? No once you’re gone, you stay gone.

Reality is one big slap in the face in that respect.

Funny then..

Funny then how life, as straightforward as she is questionable, has a way of catching her players off guard..

It’s almost laughable really at how such a cataclysm of events, of petty discrepancies seasoned by a good dose of cowardly violence, could lead to such an ever changing outcome. Never in their small, miserable lives would they have fathomed that such a thing was possible.

That against all odds, they indeed somehow earned that invaluable second breath when they were almost certain that their time on this worldly plane was up…

And little did they know that along with that exemption from death, also came the birth of something more profound in nature within each of them..

Something that – dare I say – went as far as breaching the very confines of mortality as we know it.

Three figures emerged from a dense sea of bark and foliage, the accumulations of an endless woodland.

Its trees, which mainly consisted of various species of maple and oak, eventually cut away to form the natural circumference of a wide spanning clearing, carpeted by lush green grasses. With the daytime waning on them, the small entourage swiftly ventured towards the very center of it, determined and alert.

The wind, which had been steadily picking up at the time of their arrival, brushed over them, almost like an inaudible welcome as it ruffled bits of their clothing. The seemingly kind gesture though failed to deter the ever present caution that clung to them like an itchy second skin.

Besides the whispers of the breeze and the faint rustling of branches in the far off perimeter, nothing dared to breathe a sound. The only female of the trio surveyed their vacant surroundings as she clutched a thick woolen blanket within her arms, long dark hair tumbling down her back like a midnight stream. Her two brothers loosely flanked her on either side, counting down the steps to their desired destination all while remaining on constant guard.

This would be the fifth and hopefully final time of stepping foot into such a place. As beautiful as this emerald patch in the middle of nowhere was, with nothing but nature greeting its visitors from all sides and isolated from the rest of civilization, it still held a level of eeriness that irked them to their very cores.

For it was the unsettling event that would eventually take place, and that they were in turn forced to witness each time, that never ceased to strike that chord of unease within them.

Regardless, they had little choice in the matter. Failing to turn up here at the calculated timing would mean they'd risk missing out on reaping their rewards; the chance of reuniting with what they had lost.

That of their remaining kin.

A few crunching steps later, their trek finally halted at the terse raise of a hand. It belonged to the eldest, one of the men whose face was fixed into a permanent stony resolve. By default he was elected to be the group’s leader, not just because of his superior years to their own but due to the amount of experience he held regarding the circumstance they found themselves in currently. Unlike the others who had only made the journey here once or twice, he had been present for all of them.

“Are you sure she’ll be here?”

The question came from the other male within their group, the words tumbling out of his mouth anxiously, uncertainty all but plaguing him as he shuffled in his place. Ever the compassionate person, their younger brother often wore his heart on his sleeve. When it came to the wellbeing of his loved ones, he was always the one who dwelled on it the most, broadcasting his emotions and showing those around him just how affected he really was. He gulped, tanned skin gradually heating up as he thought of the worst, clenching his fists tightly as faint sizzling erupted from them.

Slightly alarmed, the woman turned and placed a steady hand on his arm trying to ease some of his tension, sighing when she felt his temperature return to normal after a few moments, the abnormal sounds he was emitting soon subsiding. He looked down to her once he was settled enough, giving her a sheepish look, “Sorry…Thanks Noona.” She only gave him a grim smile in return.

“Give her time,” the oldest responded calmly off to the side. He viewed the dwindling light shining above them where a warm mixture of yellows and oranges were painted seamlessly across the sky. The golden disk of the sun ever so slowly sank below the tree line, bidding them a solemn farewell.

And perhaps relaying an ode of what was to come.

Anytime now, he muttered in his head, refocusing his gaze back down to the ground before them.

Just a little longer..

She’ll come. The rest of us had, so she shall as well. It was the equinox after all, if anything that should mark her arrival.

His mental consolation kept repeating like an unrelenting prayer in time to his wavering heart.

She’ll be with us soon.. She has to..

Nervous anticipation filled the atmosphere at this point as they remained in their place, biding their time.

However, the discomfort only grew when in the next moment everything decided to turn on its head.

The previous gentleness of the wind abruptly sped up, transforming into something that was far more perilous and dangerous; the now influx of raging gusts seeking out nothing short of discord. Their sudden strength unapologetically ripping out blades of grass in their wake and pushing and pulling the siblings from all angles, an almost sick game to get them off balance.

Such a competition proved successful as a yelp sounded out, the woman of the group none too kindly getting knocked off her feet. With both her hands occupied on keeping hold of the blanket, she was in danger of taking flight. Fortunately, before that could happen, she was quickly grabbed and righted by her brothers as they now all huddled together, slightly crouched to gain some sort of traction as they braced against the howling winds.

“Look!” The youngest suddenly yelled over the noise, pointing off to the distance from where they had first arrived. They all gaped in both shock and awe as the once vibrant shades of green that the trees had so proudly adorned faded into various fiery hues. Some of their leaves outright flying off the branches only to get swept up into the ever growing whirlwind, looking practically like shooting flecks of flame.

“It’s begun,” the eldest gritted, grasping the other two tighter. “We just need to wait it out! Keep calm and neither of you let go!”

“No shit!” His sister thundered back, earning a scolding curse from the man. This was hardly the time to argue as voiced by their youngest when their banter didn’t seem to let up. Survival was of their utmost priority and he would be damned if they failed to do that because of some petty arguing.

With the amount of reddened leaves continuing to break away from their origin trees, getting grouped together from the unrelenting winds, one could almost mistake this phenomenon for a growing tornado of fire, the trio unfortunately being at the very center of it, completely at its mercy.

All they could do was hope for the best.

A dozen or so said leaves collided with their skin in the mix, the rate of their speed causing their paper-thin edges to become that much more sharper and in turn drawing lines of blood.

Regardless, the siblings kept up their strong front, brushing off the attacks. The younger two were more emotive, their expressions filled with bewilderment while their oldest brother continued to remain impassive, eyes never losing their sharpness behind his dark locks.

Was this her doing? He resounded once more as he took in the situation. Such power…

Long minutes that seemed more like painstaking hours passed as they braved it through this strange turbulence, determination and longing keeping them rooted to the ground. The sky by now had lost its warmth, washed away by an indigo sea dotted with pearls.

Darkness crept over the clearing.

And as if this natural dissipation of light marked the end of wakefulness that the daytime ensued, so seemed to have in turn caused the winds to lose their erraticness. The harsh streams of air gradually lost their vigor and once more faded into gentle caresses that glided smoothly across their forms. The airborne foliage as a result rained down upon them, now a shower of leafy embers.

The three, seeing this change, gradually loosened their hold on one another but still remained close. They knew better than to let down their guard in a moment of reprieve.

Out of their peripheral, a dash of maroon shot past.

They watched breathlessly as a single maple leaf broke away from the amassment of falling red. It twisted and tumbled downwards in an almost elegant dance, its spiraling descent soon ended though as it softly perched on a pale mound of smooth skin; a shoulder.

Three pairs of eyes widened as recognition set in.

“Y/n!?” Gasping, the younger brother took a hesitant step forward but was almost instantly held back by his hyung, a warning shot his way. Worry had dominated the shout but deep down it served as the epitome of relief.

For there, taking up the once barren land before them, now housed the small form of a woman.

Y/n.

Their little sister.

Curled up on her side in a tight fetal position, her bare back faced them as they took in the faint rise and fall of her torso, goosebumps threatening to peek through as she shivered. Oh how she looked so fragile from where they stood, the world all but seeming to swallow the poor girl up while she was clearly in such a vulnerable state.

Weak, bare and alone.

At this, they were almost afraid to approach her, in fear that she could somehow shrivel away if they got close enough. She had always been sensitive in that respect. Too good, too pure for the world they were born into and the underserved hardship that was instantly thrust upon her amongst her first breath.

Hesitation was soon quelled though as long raven locks surged forward past the two men as their sister who had originally accompanied them crouched down before her curled up dongsaeng. Swiftly unwrapping the blanket she had brought, she draped it over the girl to protect her modesty, unclothed body now hidden from sight.

“Oh Y/n,” she softly spoke, delicately brushing some of the young woman’s hair behind her ear, revealing a face donned with sleep. “Sweetheart, can you hear me?”

That’s when she heard the meek, strained words.

“Jiwoo…unnie..?”

At the sound of her name, the raven haired woman’s eyes lit up, “Yes, that’s right. Your big sister’s here, dearest. We all are.”

“What happened?” Weak sobs made themselves known as Y/n stumbled over her words. “It was so cold… and dark… I-I was all alone..” Trembling, her eyes were yet to open as she remained to shake under the wool of the blanket. Jiwoo as a result looked her newfound sister over in dismay, not quite knowing how to handle the girl’s anguish.

Having been in the exact same position Y/n was in right now, not nearly six months prior, didn’t make dealing with this current predicament any easier. Honestly, how would one go about waking up in the middle of nowhere with no clothes on their back and expect to simply shrug it off like it was nothing?

No, if anything her demeanor was more than justified.

Swift footfalls resounded behind them as their two brothers silently joined them on the ground, their focus trained solely on the clear distress that their youngest displayed.

The eldest, with the same care and gentleness that his sister Jiwoo had taken, cupped the sides of Y/n’s head and softly turned it so that her face was in full view. Her lashes kissed her cheeks as trails of tears streaked down them like branching rivers, her lips wobbling. “Y/n..” his voice deep and calm to their ears. “Can you open your eyes for us?”

“Oppa..?”

“Yes love,” he rasped as his eyes lost some of their edge. “We’re right here, everything is going to be alright.”

Ever so slowly her lids pulled upwards. Glossy orbs appeared behind them, blinking a couple of times before focusing where they then locked onto his own. The otherworldly glow that radiated off her irises made him still for a moment.

The bright russet of her eyes reflected off of their own, like two alluring lanterns guiding one through a darkened landscape; bewitching beauty and warmth while they were the moths being drawn mindlessly to them. However, if one were to look just that little bit closer, just that one measly second longer, then they would notice that the soft radiance that they initially bestowed didn’t completely hide the presence of something else in intensity.

Something slightly foreboding in nature…

But before they could probe deeper on that fact, those lanterns of her’s dimmed, fizzling out to revert back to a more ‘human’ luminosity. Deep brown now stared up at them, unaware of the spell they had just cast.

“How do you feel?” The oldest asked after a few long moments.

Scrunching her eyes pondering, she settled on one word she deemed the most feasible, “Weird..”

All of them smiled down at her at that, liking her curt but somehow thorough explanation. They knew exactly what she meant.

“Weird but…strangely alive..?”

The youngest brother let out a small chuckle as he patted her head comfortingly, tears threatening to break free from his eyes. He silently thanked whatever force was out there that had brought his little sister back to them in one piece.

“Hobi,” Y/n gasped, mistaking her brother’s happiness for the opposite, “Oppa, don’t cry”. That only incited another laugh from him, a droplet finally escaping from his orbs. “I should be saying the same to you,” he wiped the sides of her cheeks where they were still damp from the result of her own crying. “No more tears, you’re back with us now.”

“Oh you two,” Jiwoo cooed, at risk of following in their suit with watery eyes of her own. She was quick to help with wrapping the blanket further around her sister when it started falling off as Y/n, with some effort, managed to push herself up into a seated position. Her body swayed a bit in the process, still in a fairly weakened and sleepy state. Concerned, she was assisted by the quiet older brother, his large hands holding her by her shoulders, coaxing her to lean back against him which she was more than grateful for.

“I…how…? She began again, looking between the three of them in disbelief. “It’s been years. How are you all here?” I… I thought I would never see any of you again…”

“I–”

“The feeling’s mutual dear.” Her sister crooned while Hobi nodded to the sentiment, patting her cheek. A faint squeeze of her shoulders chimed in from the oldest as he looked her over in a rare display of intrigue. “You’ve grown…” He muttered, taking in the lack of baby fat that had always clung to her face. “I was sure you’d stay little forever; how the time has passed,” he mused.

As a result, Y/n’s cheeks couldn’t help but take on a tinge of pink as she looked down bashfully.

A shout of contradiction rang out.

“What are you talking about? She still is! She’ll always be our baby and nothing will change that!” Jiwoo butted in matter of factly, flicking the older’s forehead much to his annoyance. “Tch really?.. You’re more of a child than she is.” He grumbled at her actions. “Can you at least act your age?”

Ignoring his complaining, she went in to hug Y/n and in turn ended up embracing the exasperated man as well since he was practically stuck to her back as her support. The brother nicknamed Hobi, with shining eyes smiling at the display, soon joined the family group hug as they all basked in each other’s warmth and comfort. More tears were spilled but they were drowned out by joyous laughter and cries.

What once was three now became four; the quartet of siblings was finally reunited and complete. Nothing would tear them away from each other again. They were in this together. This second chance at a new life and beginning which they would live out as one unified front.

The risk he took was calculated, but man is he bad at math

The reason why all 8 Pure Hearts were able to be recharged after they expended their power during the fight with Count Bleck isn’t just because of O’Chunks’, Mimi’s, and Tippi’s love for the Count alone. At first I had a thought that maybe the Pure Hearts’ ability to be recharged is based on the ratio of love to a particular dimension, and since Dimension D is very small and their love so grand, that that’s what recharged all of them.

But then I realized, no, it wasn’t based on love-to-dimension-size ratio; their love for the Count is grand, yes, but such a possible reason had no part in them being recharged.

It was this innate aspect of Dimension D that amplified the emotions that existed in close proximity to the exhausted Pure Hearts as though through a magnifying glass that recharged all 8 even though there were only four conscious people. So not only did Dimentio completely fuck himself over by not killing Count Bleck on the spot but instead chose to save killing him for later, but he sent all the people who cared for and loved the Count into the very Dimension he created that has this specific property to it where out of all the still existing yet temporarily safe places he could have dumped them, it was the one dimension where they all still had a chance of attaining victory and defeating him.

After the above, I then started doubting this due to what the whole "256" thing was referring to with me going,

"Hm. Considering the “256 times more powerful” thing is a reference to 8-bit computing, and the fact that back in the olden days the cap on numerical values was 255 and even one further would roll the number back over to 0, it’s likely the same could be said for it amplifying their love and thus Dimension D didn’t actually do anything to aid Count Bleck, Tippi, and the other minions in recharging the Pure Hearts. Nevermind then."

but then came the realization of

Actually,

the reason why in-universe anyone in Dimension D who fights another person is equally matched is because of its properties applying to all people within it. That’s the reason why it “rolls over” to “zero” aka nothing: everyone gets the power boost therefore there isn’t any greater a difference in power than there was prior to entering Dimension D. It’s not “N x “nothing” = N vs N x “nothing” = N therefore N vs N” but “N x 256 vs N x 256 effectively results in the exact same outcome as N vs N even though both are stronger”. But this is really only the case when fighting in it. If one assumes the 256 applies to everything, then it amplifying the love within it is still a valid explanation because it isn’t directly competing against anything else for it to ultimately end up redundant. There’s no pushback, it’s freely allowed to go up.

This has to be the case because if one goes with the “N x “nothing” (which numerically would be 1)” approach, the love wouldn’t be amplified or even changed at all. (and it’s not “N x 0” because if it was, no damage would have been able to be dealt by anyone who fought in Dimension D)

Scenarios of drilling results for the Siberian plume: Siberia: To Be or Not to Be? | #6

ALLATRA volunteer reveals the future of all humanity…

Scenarios for the Outcomes of Drilling the Siberian Plume

In the case of planned degassing of the Siberian Plume, there are three main potential scenarios. These scenarios are based on two stages of the degassing process: the early phase and the later phase. Here is a brief overview of each scenario.

1. Minimal Damage to Russian Territory

If the process of degassing and releasing excess lava from secondary magmatic chambers is meticulously calculated by an international team of specialists, with careful consideration of all geological features and extensive modeling, then no complications or accidents will arise during either the early or later stages of degassing. In this scenario, the minimum damage to Russia would result in the loss of 5–7% of its territory, with a worst-case scenario affecting no more than 10%. This could cover an area within a radius of 300–400 miles.

Under such a scenario, it might even be possible to protect the territories of major cities in the Krasnoyarsk region, avoiding human deaths. In the best-case scenario, it may be possible to redirect lava flows toward the Arctic seas, potentially allowing Russia to expand its territory through the addition of newly formed coastal areas.

2. Moderate Damage to Russian Territory

This scenario assumes that the initial stages of planned degassing will proceed without challenges, but some unforeseen circumstances during the later phase will result in an unplanned gas explosion or lava eruption.

However, since a portion of gases and lava would have already been released at this stage, the likely outcome would be the spread of liquid basalt lava — similar to what we observed in Iceland or Hawaii — or a moderate explosive eruption.

In this case, Russia could lose up to 25–30% of its territory, equating to an area of approximately 1.5-1.9 million square miles (4-5 million sq. km). Cities within a radius of over 600 miles (1,000 km) from the eruption site may be affected. However, this scenario would not spell a death sentence for Russia, nor would it escalate into a civilization-scale global catastrophe.

Humanity will be able to endure the resulting temperature swings and overcome the negative consequences of such an eruption in Siberia.

3 Maximum Damage to Russia and the World

This scenario assumes that degassing will begin too late or will be conducted by unqualified specialists who fail to account for geological features during drilling. Insufficient research, calculations, and modeling may result in an incorrect selection of the drilling traverse through soft or fractured rock formations, potentially triggering accidents and loss of control over the situation.

If complications arise at the very first stage of degassing, gases and lava will not have been released yet, causing pressure in the secondary magma chambers to increase significantly.

Under such circumstances, events may unfold into one of two catastrophic scenarios: either an instantaneous devastating explosive eruption of the Siberian Plume or prolonged catastrophic eruptions akin to the Siberian Traps.

However, the likelihood of this scenario is extremely low, as it is hard to imagine a lack of competent international preparation for such a large-scale project.

Thus, the most optimistic and likely scenario assumes that only 5 to 7% of Russia's territory would be affected during planned degassing. Even in case of complications at later stages of degassing, only 25 to 30% of the country's territory would be lost. The risk of more severe destruction during degassing, either for Russia or the world, is negligible.

Therefore, conducting planned and controlled degassing remains the only viable chance to save Russia and humanity as a whole. This approach is far more advantageous and rational than inaction. Such a strategy would avert a global catastrophe and provide humankind with crucial time to develop further solutions.

Determining the Optimal Time for Drilling

Currently, our experts are focused on determining the optimal time for drilling. While it is too early to draw definitive conclusions, preliminary calculations already suggest a possibility of precisely identifying the best moment to start degassing. Findings indicate that selecting the correct drilling point can significantly reduce risks — by several times.

During the drilling process, it will be essential to account not only for rock strength and zones of fracturing, but also for the time of drilling, which must be calculated based on Earth's position along the ecliptic, the positions of the Moon and major planets like Jupiter, as well as the phase of solar activity.

Additionally, it will be critical to carefully monitor deep-focus earthquakes in the drilling region, as such events significantly increase seismicity within the Earth's crust.

Currently, there is a general understanding of the mechanism, but extensive verification of data is still required. These conclusions must not only be reassessed by our specialists, but also independently verified through external research by other scientists.

Sure bet prediction today,

Sure bet prediction today,

In the world of sports betting, everyone is constantly on the lookout for reliable predictions to maximize their chances of winning. "Sure bet prediction" is a term that has gained significant traction among bettors aiming for consistent success. In this article, we will explore what sure bets are, how they work, and tips to make the most of them today.

What is a Sure Bet?

A sure bet, also known as an arbitrage bet, is a betting strategy where a bettor can place wagers on all possible outcomes of an event across different bookmakers and guarantee a profit, regardless of the result. This occurs because of differences in odds provided by various bookmakers.

For example, in a tennis match between Player A and Player B, one bookmaker might offer odds of 2.10 for Player A to win, while another offers 2.10 for Player B. By calculating and placing appropriate stakes, you can ensure a profit no matter who wins.

How to Find Sure Bets

Use Arbitrage Betting Software: These tools scan multiple bookmakers for discrepancies in odds, saving you time and effort. Examples include RebelBetting, BetBurger, and ArbMate.

Monitor Odds Movements: Keep an eye on live odds from different bookmakers. Sudden changes can create opportunities for sure bets.

Leverage Promotions: Sometimes, bookmakers offer boosted odds or promotions that can turn an ordinary bet into a sure bet.

Tips for Sure Bet Prediction Today

Bet Responsibly: Allocate a fixed portion of your bankroll to sure betting to manage risks effectively.

Choose Reliable Bookmakers: Ensure the platforms you use are trustworthy and have a solid reputation for payouts.

Act Quickly: Sure bet opportunities can vanish in seconds as bookmakers adjust their odds.

Understand the Rules: Some bookmakers have terms and conditions that may affect your bets. Always read the fine print.

Diversify Your Bets: Avoid placing too many sure bets with a single bookmaker, as it may raise suspicion and result in account limitations.

Challenges in Sure Betting

Account Restrictions: Bookmakers may limit or ban accounts involved in consistent arbitrage betting.

Currency and Transaction Fees: Ensure you account for any fees that might affect your profit margin.

Human Error: Miscalculations in stakes can lead to losses instead of profits.

Conclusion

Sure bet predictions today offer a low-risk way to profit from sports betting, but they require diligence, speed, and an understanding of the betting landscape. By using the right tools and strategies, you can turn betting into a profitable venture. However, always remember to bet responsibly and stay informed about the ever-changing world of sports betting.

Mitigating Risks in AI Project Management: Strategies for Successful AI Implementation 

This article explores risk mitigation strategies for successful B2B AI projects, emphasizing the importance of AI certification for project managers. 

Discover risk management strategies to mitigate risks in B2B AI projects, ensuring successful implementation and maximizing ROI.

Many businesses are enthusiastic about the promise of artificial intelligence (AI), but turning those concepts into real-world outcomes is difficult. According to Gartner, roughly only 54% of AI initiatives get from the experimental stage to full-scale deployment.   

But there is good news. New AI technologies and ways of working are assisting organizations in meeting these problems. Projects that may have failed in the past now have a higher chance of succeeding and delivering the desired advantages.   

Risk in Project Management 

Project risk encompasses potential challenges that could arise during project execution. Effective risk management involves identifying and addressing these challenges to enhance project success. 

A risk assessment is the process of developing a list of potential risks and debating how to manage them. All members of the project team must conduct risk analysis, which includes holding meetings to gather information about potential risks.  

Risks can have an impact on people, processes, technology, and resources, but they differ from issues, which are foreseeable events. Risks, however, are unanticipated events like flu season or product backorders. 

Steps to Identify the Risks in Project Management 

When assessing the risk in project management, we need to ask the following questions:   1. What could happen to your project?  2. When is it likely to occur?   3. What are the possibilities of this happening?   4. What is the expected result?   5. What occurrences could initiate the risk event?  

We have identified five crucial factors to consider when calculating project risk. Now, let us address some prevalent misconceptions about AI project risk management. 

Misconceptions regarding AI Project Risk Management 

AI project risk management is an unnecessary expense. 

Reality: Effective risk management involves identifying potential dangers, assessing their impact, and adopting mitigation strategies. It helps prevent costly project delays and failures while also creating trust among stakeholders. 

AI project risk management is limited to large-scale initiatives. 

Reality: Effective risk management is crucial for any project, including small AI programs. It aids in reducing risks such as data breaches, algorithmic biases, and insufficient testing. 

AI project risk management removes all hazards. 

Reality: Risk management focuses on discovering, evaluating, and reducing hazards rather than removing them entirely. It reduces the possibility of risks occurring and ensures proactive risk management throughout the project’s lifecycle. 

AI project risk management is a one-time operation. 

Reality: AI project risk management is a continuous process that should be integrated throughout the project’s lifecycle to detect new risks, ensure adaptability, and monitor for timely changes. 

AI project risk management is exclusively the duty of the project manager. 

Reality: Effective AI project risk management requires a collaborative effort from all stakeholders, including team members, AI experts, data scientists, and business analysts, each offering their unique knowledge and insights. 

AI Risk Detection and Prioritization 

AI adds substantial benefits to enterprises, but it also introduces several hazards and ethical issues, which authorities are scrutinizing and potentially penalizing. To effectively manage AI risks, firms should place legal and risk-management teams at the center of the AI development process, including data collection and governance. 

An intelligent risk-prioritization strategy based on legal guidance and technical best practices is required. This requires building a library of unique AI risks and following a clear methodology to analyze and prioritize such risks for mitigation. 

Policymakers are tackling dangers connected with AI initiatives, including ethical concerns, algorithm bias, and security flaws. 

Building on the necessity of risk management, let’s look at some important strategies for achieving effective AI deployment. 

Strategies for Successful AI Implementation 

To successfully implement AI, we must manage AI risk, define the context and objectives, identify AI risks, monitor and audit them regularly, evaluate each potential risk, and implement mitigation solutions. These techniques encompass preventative, detection, and correction approaches. Organizations can use tools like risk matrices and decision trees to prioritize risks and make informed decisions. 

Risk management requires expert guidance, historical data, risk responses, risk owners, and resources. Monitoring ensures plan implementation and addresses all risks, including positive ones. Let’s get started on developing a comprehensive risk management strategy for your AI project.  

Create a Risk Management Plan 

A risk management strategy is necessary for project managers to document, plan for, and limit any risks to the project’s execution and completion. It should include a risk breakdown structure that divides hazards into known, unknown, and unknowable categories. Each risk should be fully defined, including its consequences and likelihood of occurrence. Once the plan is created, assign risk ownership and create proactive risk responses. 

Takeaways 

1. The Importance of Risk Management: Poor risk management results in AI project failures. Proactive risk identification and mitigation are critical.   2. Key Steps to Effective Risk Management: Define project objectives, identify possible risks, prioritize them, devise mitigation techniques, and monitor and adjust the risk management strategy.   3. AI-Specific Risk Considerations: Ethical issues and algorithmic prejudice are distinct risks in AI research. Legal and regulatory compliance must be considered.   4. Project Manager’s Role in the AI Era: Adapt your abilities to keep up with AI breakthroughs and consider AI as a collaborative tool.   5. Additional Advice: Use risk management tools, invest in training, and pursue AI certifications. 

Conclusion 

Effective risk mitigation in AI project management involves utilizing AI technologies to predict possible hazards in real-time, optimize resources, and meet project objectives. By using AI, businesses may drastically reduce failure rates, improve project results, and increase overall efficiency. By implementing these risk mitigation techniques, businesses can drastically limit the negative implications of AI initiatives while ensuring their success. Furthermore, enrolling in the AI CERTs™ AI+ Project Manager™ certification can help project managers comprehend and apply AI concepts to real-world risk mitigation challenges.

In such scenarios, hiring a personal injury lawyer becomes essential. This article will explore the role of a personal injury attorney, why hiring one after a car accident is crucial, and how a car accident lawyer in Fort Lauderdale can significantly impact the outcome of your case.

What Is a Personal Injury Attorney?

A personal injury attorney is a legal professional who specializes in representing individuals who have been injured due to the negligence of others. These attorneys are well-versed in tort law, which covers a broad range of civil wrongs, including car accidents. They help victims navigate the complex legal landscape, ensuring that their rights are protected and that they receive fair compensation for their injuries.

In the context of a car accident, a personal injury lawyer can assist in gathering evidence, negotiating with insurance companies, and representing the victim in court if necessary. Their expertise is invaluable in helping clients understand their rights and options.

Why Should You Hire a Personal Injury Attorney After a Car Accident?

Expertise in Negotiation: One of the primary reasons to hire a personal injury lawyer is their negotiation skills. Insurance companies often aim to minimize payouts, and having a knowledgeable attorney can level the playing field. A Fort Lauderdale car accident lawyer understands how to negotiate effectively to secure the best possible settlement for their clients.

Understanding of Legal Procedures: The legal process following a car accident can be daunting. From filing paperwork to adhering to deadlines, it can be overwhelming for someone without legal experience.

This arrangement allows victims to seek legal representation without upfront costs, making it more accessible for those who may be dealing with financial strain post-accident.

When Should You Hire a Personal Injury Attorney After a Car Accident?

While it's beneficial to hire a personal injury attorney as soon as possible after a car accident, the timing can vary based on several factors:

Immediately After the Accident: If you’ve sustained significant injuries or if the accident involved multiple parties, it’s advisable to contact a personal injury lawyer immediately. They can begin collecting evidence, interviewing witnesses, and building your case right away.

When Dealing with Insurance Companies: If the insurance company contacts you soon after the accident, it’s a red flag. Insurance adjusters may try to obtain statements that could be used against you. At this point, having a car accident lawyer in Fort Lauderdale can help you navigate these interactions safely.

If Your Claim is Denied: If your initial claim is denied or if you feel that the compensation offered is insufficient, hiring a personal injury attorney can be critical. They can help you understand the reasons behind the denial and guide you on the next steps.

Before Filing a Lawsuit: If negotiations fail and litigation becomes necessary, it’s crucial to have a personal injury lawyer by your side to ensure your interests are represented in court.

Can a Florida Personal Injury Attorney Increase Your Chances of Winning in Court?

Yes, hiring a Florida personal injury attorney can significantly enhance your chances of winning in court. Here’s how:

Knowledge of State Laws: Florida has specific laws governing personal injury claims, including statutes of limitations and comparative negligence rules. A local attorney understands these laws and can craft a strategy that aligns with them.

Access to Resources: Personal injury lawyers often have access to expert witnesses, accident reconstruction specialists, and other resources that can bolster your case. This expertise can be critical in proving liability and the extent of your injuries.

Strong Case Preparation: A competent personal injury lawyer will prepare your case meticulously. This preparation includes gathering evidence, compiling medical records, and constructing a compelling narrative that highlights the impact of the accident on your life.

Trial Experience: If your case goes to trial, having a seasoned attorney with trial experience is invaluable. They can present your case effectively, cross-examine witnesses, and navigate the courtroom dynamics with confidence.

FAQs

How much does a personal injury lawyer cost?

Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you won’t pay unless you win your case. Typical fees range from 25% to 40% of the settlement amount.

What should I do immediately after a car accident?

Prioritize your safety and health first. Seek medical attention, call the police to report the accident, collect evidence (photos, witness statements), and contact a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible.

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Florida?

In Florida, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim is typically four years from the date of the accident. However, it's best to consult with an attorney sooner to ensure you don’t miss important deadlines.

What if I was partially at fault for the accident?

Florida follows a comparative negligence rule, which means that even if you are partially at fault, you may still be able to recover damages. However, your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault.

Can I handle my personal injury claim without a lawyer?

While it is possible to handle your claim without legal assistance, it is generally not advisable, especially if you have sustained significant injuries. A personal injury lawyer brings expertise that can lead to better outcomes.

Conclusion

In the aftermath of a car accident, the importance of hiring a personal injury lawyer cannot be overstated. From negotiating with insurance companies to preparing for trial, a skilled Fort Lauderdale car accident lawyer can significantly increase your chances of securing the compensation you deserve. If you’ve been involved in a car accident, don’t hesitate to reach out to a personal injury attorney to discuss your case and protect your rights.

hiii! how are u? just recently discovered ur blog and i really liked your content! i was hoping to get a matchup with jjk if it's possible (?) could be a nsfw one if you feel comfortable

i'm a bisexual woman, 2001's baby and currently working my ass off at med school. if i had to describe myself i would say that i'm very worried about everything all the time, i care about people, i'm always stressed — my grandma once said that i've been in a constant state of stress since i was a kid, never relaxing (maybe in the coffin i may rip) — i do recognize that i don't have the most likeable personality i can be too sincere, stubborn and dramatic, but i'm loyal and i would die before letting anyone i care about get hurt. i like reading, absolutely adore cats, bubble baths, eating and my favorite hobbie is sleeping, i despise any type of bullying and specially when it is related to someone's appearance, i can not cook for god's sake and i'm not the biggest fan of noisy places

ty and sorry if there's something wrong english is not my first language, i really appreciate your work! 💕

Evening Lovely !

Happy October ! :3

For JJK I match you with....

Choso Kamo

-Upon first impression, Choso is a relatively reserved and dissociated individual, often portraying him to be cold or harsh, especially those who he does not consider to be close to him. His main focus is on the protection of his loved ones; his family means everything to him. He tends to avoid social interactions with strangers as he considers them to be unnecessary and potentially harmful.

No one is entirely truthful and transparent. No one can really be trusted.

-Until now Choso remained vigilant and reserved, however, there was something about you that enticed him. He saw many parts of himself in you and this was intriguing. At first he would just observe you from a far, lurking, desperate to find more about you. He would never come close or pursue. He needed to make sure to gather as much information as possible to ensure that once the chase was over he could be successful in gaining your approval. It was thrilling.

Prey.

-He was thorough in his work and upon observing your extensive research and hard work in the medical field he perceived you to be an extremely admirable individual. Choso was far from the type to cut corners or find shortcuts, therefore when he saw your efforts in your studies it only made him fall harder. He was practically head over heels. You were no longer a desire but instead, a need, a necessity. The thought of losing the chance of winning you over gave him nightmares. The thought of some scum pining over you, wooing you irked him.

You were already his before you even knew it.

-After months, Choso finally plucked up the courage to take the risk. He finally decided to take the next step, to really get to know you. He just needed the right opportunity. He knew you spent a lot of your free time researching and studying in your campus library, they seemed to be long and lonely nights. It would be perfect. He was quiet and kept to himself so a library would be the perfect setting to introduce himself at last. It was a dull and dismal Friday night; it was raining, the air harsh from the biting cold. The library itself was quite the opposite, despite its cold and uninviting appearance, your presence was more than enough to warm the room. His heart pounded with every step he took into the room, he was certain that you could see it beating out of his chest. Despite his nerves, his collected demeanour managed to mask any uncertainty or second thoughts. He had practically calculated every possible outcome up until now.

There was no room for error.

-He clears his throat and gently utters the sentence, 'excuse me- do you mind if I sit here?' .

{Authors note, ughhh cliffhanger I knowwwww ! I really enjoyed this one, feel free to pop me a message or head over to my ko-fi if you want a whole fan fic based from this :3 }

Top 9 Strategies to Promote Your Game in Real Money Ludo Competitions

Ludo has evolved from a classic board game into a thrilling real-money competition, where players not only enjoy the game but also aim for substantial monetary rewards. If you want to win consistently, you need more than just luck. Understanding key strategies can give you a winning edge. Below are nine strategies that can help you dominate real money Ludo competitions.

1. Master the Basics First

Before you dive into real money Ludo competitions, ensure you have a firm grip on the rules and gameplay. Ludo may seem simple, but understanding all the nuances, such as when to open a token or how to safely navigate around the board, will increase your chances of success. Many Ludo game developers build tutorials into their apps — so use them to your advantage.

2. Develop a Balanced Offense and Defense

A key element of Ludo is knowing when to attack and when to play defensively. In Ludo, attacking is when you move your pieces aggressively to capture your opponents’ tokens. On the other hand, defense involves positioning your tokens strategically to avoid being captured. Balancing offense and defense will help you maintain momentum and keep your tokens safe.

3. Prioritize Home Safety

One of the most important strategies in Ludo is securing your tokens in the safety of your home. Instead of just focusing on attacking your opponents, prioritize moving your tokens toward your home space. This limits the risk of your tokens being sent back to the start, saving valuable time and increasing your odds of victory. Many successful players emphasize this strategy in competitive Ludo tournaments.

4. Plan Your Moves with Calculation

Real money Ludo games require quick thinking and planning. Use each turn to calculate the possible outcomes of your move. For example, if you roll a 6, consider whether opening another token is advantageous or whether you should advance your existing token closer to home. Each decision can impact the flow of the game, and mastering this calculation is what separates amateurs from seasoned players.

5. Be Mindful of Your Opponents’ Moves

Staying alert to your opponents’ moves is critical in real money Ludo. Knowing their position helps you anticipate their next move and adjust your strategy accordingly. For instance, if you notice an opponent’s token is close to one of yours, you might choose a defensive move to avoid capture. Awareness of opponents’ tactics allows you to play proactively.

6. Use Your Rolls Wisely

Ludo is not just about rolling the dice — it’s about using your dice rolls to maximize your advantage. If you roll a 6, for example, it may be tempting to open a new token, but sometimes it’s better to move your current token forward instead. Expert Ludo game developers have designed the game in such a way that every roll counts, so be mindful of how you play each turn.

7. Control the Board

In competitive Ludo, controlling the board means maintaining an active presence in all quadrants of the game. Spread your tokens evenly across the board, rather than clustering them in one area. This not only makes it harder for your opponents to capture all of your tokens at once but also increases your chances of success by maximizing your opportunities to reach home.

8. Stay Calm and Patient

Patience is key in Ludo. Real money Ludo competitions can be intense, and it’s easy to make rash decisions when you’re under pressure. However, remaining calm and collected will help you make better choices. Stay patient and don’t rush your moves — sometimes the best strategy is to wait for the right moment to strike.

9. Play Frequently to Sharpen Your Skills

Like any other competitive game, practice makes perfect. The more you play, the better you become. Ludo game development companies have designed platforms that allow you to play with opponents from around the world, giving you the chance to experience different styles of play. Use these opportunities to refine your skills, learn new tactics, and build your confidence for real money competitions.

🏹 @legendaryfigure liked for a starter

Mia had sworn off heroes since her father died. He'd kept the truth of his identity from her all her life, and when she finally, truly, got a chance to know him, he'd chosen to sacrifice himself instead of staying with her. She knew she was supposed to be proud of that. Oliver Queen, the infamous Green Arrow, had saved the entire world. The math would never balance, eight billion people against one little girl who just wanted her dad, but deep down in her most selfish of hearts, she didn't care. He'd put the Green Arrow ahead of her for her entire life. Just once, she wished he'd chosen to be a father to her instead of a hero to everyone else.

She'd put down her bow, the suit he'd made for her tucked away in storage, and she made her living with her dad's training and her mom's brain. Blackstar was the undefeated cage fighter for Star City, but what most people didn't know was that she'd also picked up in her grandfather, the Calculator's, footsteps in cyber crime. Though cage fighting paid well, hacking paid far better, and while she took the occasional altruistic job if she believed in the outcome enough, most of that money got stored away in obscure, protected bank accounts or anonymously donated. She didn't care to restore the Queen name to its former glory; she'd continued to use her mother's surname and live in a shitty, run-down apartment building in the Glades.

That was where she was currently located, seated at the kitchen counter with her head in her hands, staring down a recently purchased burner phone like she expected it to blink first. Calling this number was a Hail Mary, she realized. Mia wasn't positive the Nowhere Man even existed, despite extensive research into the legend. Someone existed. Someone with government-level training swooped in to help people in need and vanished just as quickly, but whether or not it was the same person every time, she couldn't say for sure. He was a ghost.

A ghost might be exactly what she needed right now. Mia had thrown all her considerable talents and resources into locating John Constantine, but he seemed to have vanished off the face of the Earth. Given the kinds of occult circles he ran in, that was entirely possible. He'd done her a favor once at not inconsiderable risk to himself, helping her locate her father's soul and bring it back to his body. It hadn't mattered in the end; Oliver had still chosen to die, but Mia couldn't forget what Constantine had done for her. This wasn't even her fight. In theory, she could walk away from it any time, but she couldn't escape the feeling that she owed him this, this last tenuous connection to her dad.

Extensive research--of both the cyber kind and the violent kind--hadn't pulled up a lot of information. One day he was in London as usual, and the next he was gone. Mia didn't even know if the Nowhere Man dabbled in the paranormal, which was probably what this was, but she didn't know who else to ask. She couldn't very well go banging down the doors of Papa Midnight or Lucifer himself with only her fists and her bow to back her up. Much as she hated to admit it, she needed help.

She blew out a breath, snatching up the phone and dialing the number, 1-855-2-NOWHERE, so easy to memorize it could have been a practical joke. There was nothing funny about waiting for the line to connect though, her breathing ragged in her ear. The voice on the other end was calm and unfamiliar. There was no greeting, just a question, simple on the face of it but deeply complicated for someone like Mia, who'd promised herself she would never again lean on someone who could abanon her.

Do you need my help?

She drew a breath, holding it until she knew her voice wouldn't wobble.

"Yes."
