#catherine full body spoilers

[femc-supremacy]

Rin is literally the most poorly implemented expansion in any game I can think of. Like, she adds nothing, her scenes feel super out of place in the heavy atmosphere, and also Vincent who hasn't slept in days, has 2 inch thick eye bags and is barely coherent suddenly looks perfectly rested and awake and feelin goofy 🤪 during any of her scenes. Then she turns out to be like an alien or smth in the end? Idk. Wish there was an option to erase her from full body when I feel like doing a halfway serious playthrough

I understand the importance of boss’s character from a narrative standpoint, but he’s aroacephobic. I hate his guts. The way he talks about relationships makes him sound like someone’s grandparent.

h hey guys... *gets hit upside the head with a blunt object*

May I please request a fic where Spencer finds out about the new female team member’s love for gaming by seeing her play her Nintendo Switch on the jet? Bonus if he sees her struggling to beat something like Five Nights At Freddy’s or Catherine Full Body and he helps her out much to her shock

A/N: Thanks for requesting! I'm not much of a gamer myself, so it took a while to figure out what I should write. I went with FNAF because I’ve literally been held hostage by that Josh Hutcherson Whistle tiktok for the last seven days, so I hope you enjoy!!

Warnings: mild spoilers for FNAF 4 Night 8, fluff.

“What is that?” Spencer asked casually, glancing over at the screen from his seat on the jet.

For some reason, despite facing monsters in real life, you'd been addicted to horror games in your downtime. Apparently, it was better for you if the crazy murderers were actually sentient animatronics possessed by the ghost of murdered children.

“It's a Nintendo Switch. It's a video game.” You replied without looking at him, heart racing from the pressure of the level.

“Like pacman?”

“Yes, Spencer, like pacman.” You sighed in frustration, trying to avoid running into the animatronics running around the building your character was supposed to be guarding.

“Then why is the screen black,” he said, just as Mad Freddy snuck up on you in the game and you lost the level. You sighed, head falling back in defeat.

You'd been stuck on night 8 of FNAF 4 for at least a week now, but who could blame you? You had to play completely in the dark, and you were dealing with some of the worst animatronics, too.

You'd been so happy to discover 20202020 mode, and you'd passed night 7 easy enough and they were honestly pretty similar, but one week into consistently playing it in all of your downtime, and you were seconds away from sacrificing your switch to the animatronic gods.

“It's supposed to make it more challenging. I think it's just impossible.” You threw the switch down, making sure all your progress (or lack of it) was saved.

“Can I try?” Spencer curiously asked from beside you, smiling at the soft pout on your face.

“Are you sure? It's not exactly your style…?”

“Humor me.”

You passed him the switch, showed him the controls, and snuggled back against your seat, eager to catch some sleep now suddenly. You had just closed a long case, and you may as well try to sleep now before the pile of paperwork made that impossible.

If it was easy to fall asleep, it was impossible to drag yourself from sleep.

You'd felt the familiar movements of the jet jostle you side to side, but you also felt a warmth next to your body that was too comfortable to convince you to even crack an eye open.

After a week on the case, plus a week trying to solve the game level, you really hadn't slept soundly in some time.

So when someone shook your shoulders, you simply ignored the motion again and cuddled closer to the arm and chest you'd wrapped yourself around.

Until you realised that the arm and chest had to belong to a person. And the only person that could be was Spencer Reid.

“It's okay, I'll wake her up, you guys go ahead.” You heard him say, with a few muffled voices agreeing.

You decided to just play dead as you heard the shuffling sounds of the rest of the team climbing off the jet. At which point you just happened to stretch yourself naturally out of your peaceful sleep.

“Spencer?” You yawned, trying to sound confused. “Did we arrive?”

You disentangled yourself from his body, realising that in facing him, your faces had hovered centimetres apart from one another. His breathing was calm, but you could feel his heart beating hard as you pulled away from him, mind racing at the not so innocent touches he traced down your skin as he let you go.

“Yeah, the team got off already. We should probably head out, too, before the cabin crew comes through to reset.”

You stood yourself up and grabbed your things, including your switch, now packed carefully into its carry case.

“So, you gave up as well, huh?” You laughed at the obvious sign of Spencer's white flag.

“What do you mean?” He said, grabbing his own bags now he was free from your grasp.

“The game? It was hard, right?” You smiled at him as he collected himself and turned back to you, pausing slightly.

“I finished the game.”

“What?” You whirled around on him, voice breaking through your lips before you could control it.

“I finished the game. I was just watching the credits when you… made yourself comfortable.”

You felt embarrassment spread through your body but pushed it down to make space for the sheer disbelief that known technophobe Spencer Reid had completed the video game you'd been struggling with for the past week.

“How?” was the only word that would leave your mouth as you froze in the aisle.

“There was a pattern to it. I realised if I went between the left door, the bed, and the right door, the fox thing-”

“Nightmare Foxy.”

“Right, Nightmare Foxy wouldn't come out of the closet. And then the others wouldn't pop up until 4am, and after that, it was pretty easy to get through.”

“Oh my god.” You stood in awe, blocking the aisle and forcing Spencer to stop next to you as well.

“You have to show me how. Please, Spencer, I need to see it.”

You hadn't realised your hand had crept up to grab his sleeve, pushing closer to him slightly.

“Are you free this weekend?” He whispered back at you as you realised that the space between you was miniscule. You could only nod your confirmation enthusiastically.

“Then it's a date.” He whispered again, pushing past you and letting himself off the jet.

Introducing Cadence Valerio; Ghost's Advocatus Angeli

I first started developing Cade as an OC about 6 months ago, including my initial sketches for these sheets, so this is how he'd look in early 2024. I will be posting a written piece about how he got his role soon, but I'm also always very happy to answer questions about him!

I've added a massive lore dump for him below if anyone's interested in reading. I would say "full" lore but chances are I will keep adding to this more and more. Tw/cw for mentions of dysphoria, death, drug addiction, alcoholism, mental health issues, sex. There are also Rite Here Rite Now spoilers right at the end(I haven't actually seen it myself yet so any contradictions will be rectified later).

Cade's grandmother, Shirley Gibson, was a huge fan of the original iteration of Ghost as a band in the 60s, and obsessed with Nihil. She was one of the women that he ends up kissing in the Kiss The Go-Goat video, but when he left to find Sister Imperator after the show, she ended up partying with the Ghouls, and sleeping with one of them named Vigor. Shirley only found out she was pregnant upon returning to England, raising Cade's mum Catherine as a single mother with Vigor sending generous monetary support.

Catherine was very visibly different as a child being half-human half-Ghoul, and as a child in England she was very much ostracised for it. She took solace in her best friend, an Italian immigrant named Luciano Valerio, and in their teens, the two fell in love. Unbeknownst to them however, Catherine shared her father's high fertility and a singular slip-up led to the pair concieving when they were only 17. They decided to marry and make it work. Catherine gave birth to twins, Isabelle Violet and [I haven't decided if I'm going to share Cade's deadname yet] Valerio on Friday the 13th of May 1988.

As a child Cadence was outgoing and highly strung whereas his sister was far more shy and reserved. Both were small and slight with frequent health issues which for Cade mostly ended by his adolescence but for Isabelle were more severe and continued into adulthood. Both initially struggled in school but later surpassed their peers. They were intelligent, curious children and were inseparably close.

Cade experienced gender dysphoria for a long time but didn't quite know what it was until finding out about transgender people in his early 20s. His family were fairly accepting, but none more so than Isabelle who was Cade's biggest advocate, helping him get the support he needed. He began socially transitioning in 2011, started testosterone in 2012 and got top surgery in 2014. He was originally on track for bottom surgery in 2015 but this ended up delayed until 2021 for reasons explained below.

Being a quarter Ghoul, Cade has some traits from his grandfather despite appearing fairly human. Vigor is a very lively sun-like (in terms of the elements, Fire/Quintisessence type) Ghoul golden skin and fire-like hair and eyes. Cade's natural hair colour is strawberry blonde despite the fully human members of his family having dark hair, his skin has a slightly golden sheen in sunlight, and his eyes glow slightly in low light, with a candlelight-like effect. He has a higher than average body temperature which may be noteable to others who touch his skin but feels normal to him. That said he feels more comfortable in less clothing and will usually just walk around in his underwear in private, in public it's harder because he prefers not to show too much skin so he often gets a little too hot. His hair and nails grow very rapidly and his skin has a fast cell turnover so it's usually very soft and sensitive, he also has higher than average flexibility. He's presumed to have had high fertility like his mother and grandfather but since he had a hystorectomy as part of his bottom surgery he no longer has to worry about that(unless someone steals the eggs he had frozen)!

Cade studied Law in London and moved to a flatshare outside of the city after graduating, becoming a legal secretary straight after university. His coming out as trans soon after getting the job was a slight setback as a lot of his colleagues were new to the concept, but he was extremely good at his job and was in the process of moving into being a paralegal where he would get to use what he had studied more.

In 2014, Isabelle died suddenly after complications from a congenital heart condition which was one of the health issues that Cade did not share. As well as a heavy dose of survivor's guilt due to the circumstances, Cadence was understandably devastated by the loss and sunk into a deep depression.

He was already recreationally taking cocaine with work friends, but he became much more dangerously addicted, stopped caring about most things, and eventually lost his job, started missing appointments including for his initial bottom surgery, and generally stopped taking care of himself.

His parents helped him get treatment for his addiction as well as bereavement counselling and general mental health support. However once he stabilised he was still left unemployed and rather aimless, so his mum called her father, now retired from the Ministry but still occasionally visiting, and asked him to pull some strings and get his grandson a job so he could have a fresh start. Sister didn't agree with his appointment given his grandmother coming between herself and Nihil when she was pregnant with Copia, but gave him a shot expecting him to leave soon.

Cadence joined in late 2016, at first not having a defined role, just being a standard Clergy member and just seeing where he could be useful. At the time he was still feeling a little lost and still not his usually confident self, so he wasn't sure he belonged for a while. Shortly after the first three Papa's deaths, however, an argument with Sister Imperator over that choice led to him being given the role of "Advocatus Angeli"- an inversion of the original Advocatus Diaboli, or Devil's Advocate in Catholicism- via a phonecall from The Old One himself. He's considered a similar rank to an archbishop where he sits just below the Cardinal, but he's not able to ascend to that rank when Copia becomes Papa because it's considered a different skillset.

Cade's primary role for the first two years as AdvAn was to question and challenge Cardinal Copia and make sure he was worthy of becoming Papa. His criticisms were not sufficient from keeping Copia from the role, much to his chagrin, but he remains an important part of the Ministry, dedicated to making sure all are dedicated to demonic worship.

Cade is curious, observant and has a great memory. He's also very stubborn when he's sure he's right whether that be factually or morally, the latter backed up by his strong sense of justice. Usually his rebellious nature emerges when he comes across what he feels are unfair or unnecessary rules. He's usually very outgoing and talkative, though this took a knock for a while after Isabelle's death, not really returning to his usual self until 2019-20.

He is a hopeless romantic and falls in love far too easily. He's demisexual which I know can play out a bit differently depending on the person, but for Cade it means he doesn't really experience primary attraction, he needs to get to know a person to some extent and then the attraction develops. His actual drive for sex and/or masturbation on the other hand is rather high. When you combine all this with how easily he does end up falling for people, he's prone to setting off with friendly intentions in mind but then ending up with quite intense attractions to and fixations on people.

Cade is quite active; he doesn't have much interest in twam sports but he loves to swim, lift weights and kickbox; once he came out of his shell he started to invite Ghouls to spar with him(often in his office, which Sister is not too happy with).

Cade is a good singer and would love to lead rituals as he also has the charisma. His voice isn't as powerful as the Papas, but it does have a nice tone to it. He also plays piano/keyboard, so he can provide backup vocals or fill in on keyboard when needed for rituals. He likes to serenade his partners in low light, preferably on a real piano, because his soft voice combined with the glow of his eyes can be oddly hypnotic. He likes watching any sort of crime documentary and for films he quite likes psychological thrillers. He's creative and can draw to some extent but not very good with physically making things so often has clothes/accessories/props custom made for him.

Cade's favourite food is ice cream/gelato, especially coffee, hazelnut and pistachio flavours. He also really likes steak and pasta. In terms of animals he quite likes reptiles; he doesn't have any pets at the Ministry but is very tempted to get a snake because a. he's dramatic and b. if Copia pisses him off he can threaten his rats (he wouldn't actually though).

He never got to know Primo or Secondo well, he would perhaps consider them acquantances up until their deaths. Papa Nihil and he have an odd relationship; Nihil actually seems to quite like him but because of Sister Imperator he can't really get to know him well. Sister herself starts off very cold to Cade because of his relation to the woman who wrecked her marriage to Nihil(I hc them married in the eyes of the Ministry, hence why Copia is seen as needing to prove himself; only bastard children are fit to take the Papa title automatically as I've talked about here). It looks like she may warm to him a little until he finds out about Copia being her son shortly after the Papa's deaths and accuses her rather confrontationally as mentioned above, gaining him his role but almost guaranteeing the cold relationship continues.

He got to know Terzo quite a bit as he was Papa when he joined the Ministry, he studied and admired his performance in Rituals and ended up considering him a friend. He was somewhat attracted to him once they became close but he mostly ignored it. Terzo's death therefore hit him harder than the other two, though all three were hard for him as he'd agreed to come to Ghost to get away from death.

Cade initially had no issue with Copia and vice versa, he was just someone he saw around the halls, but after he was assigned to challenge him and judge his worthiness for Papa (despite still being below him in rank), the two begin to frequently butt heads. They maintain a genuine dislike for each other over many years. There is some degree of sexual tension there, but they fucked once only to find they still couldn't stand each other.

When Copia became Papa against much of his advice, Cadence reacted very badly, including going off to find some sort of purpose to everything he was doing. He ended up getting to know and then having a short-term relationship with Lucifer himself. They ended up having to part ways for various reasons but it gave Cade a more solid belief in the purpose of the Ministry, and he soon returned. He still doesn't like Copia and frequently thinks about usurping him but nothing really comes from it.

He has a very up and down relationship with @nocturnal-bishop's OC Bishop Dante. Cade doesn't make friends at the Ministry for a while because he's not his usual confident self, and Dante is his first friend there. As they grow closer, Cadence develops feelings for Dante, but he can tell he's in love with Terzo so while he's not too secretive when it comes to flirting etc, he never makes a definitive move or confession. When the Papas die, Cadence tries to be there to console the Bishop, but when he gets his promotion soon afterwards, Dante becomes suspicious and it takes a while for him to trust Cade again.

From then on, tension grows between the two professionally, as Dante helps prepare Copia for his duties as Papa while Cadence challenges whether he's worthy of the role. Unlike Cade and Copia though, there is a genuine like for each other and want to understand the other at the heart of it. They do sometimes have genuine arguments, but a lot of the time it's far more playful, and over the years I can see genuine affection developing, probably a lot of situations where one has feelings for each other they don't express. Once they can be more open with each other about everything, it would assuage all their doubts about each other and they would build a loving relationship, I don't think it's really been decided when they get together but really any time from 2021-24 I can see working. Me and Dante's writer are both multi-shippers but in my heart I can definitely see them as endgame. Oh and their ship name is Dance. 💜❤

Post-Rite Here Rite Now, I imagine Cadence would be heavily disadvantaged by Copia's appointment as Frater Imperator. He's going to have to hope he can gain some sort of promotion- which is difficult when his role is rather unique- or try his best to make a good impression with the new Papa.

If you read all(or any!) of this, I really appreciate it! I'm hoping to work on some art pieces of Cade and hopefully of Vigor soon but I'm not the fastest. I love talking about my little guy so again feel free to drop me an ask or message or whatnot!

Looking at what Full Body fans have to say about Rin does remind me a lot of the conversations that surrounded Dangan Ronpa back in the day about trans characters. Chihiro is absolutely commentary on strict gender roles and not being able to express herself because of what was expected of her within society, and from what I understand from the brief spoilers about Rin I’ve pieced together she’s much the same, but you also can’t separate them from the fact that both Dangan Ronpa and Catherine Full Body subject them to the same awful ‘she’s a girl…but she has a dick!!!!!’ jokes. You can’t tell me these characters have nothing to do with transphobia! Acting like that goes away because ‘the game says they’re not trans’ is so fucking stupid! Shut up!

Warning- Does contain spoilers for Sidney and Evie's life in 2023

Crosby House - Sewickley, PA

Sidney surveyed the luggage carefully placed near the door. He did the mental calculation and stood in awe. For two adults and one infant, there were four full size suitcases, Sidney's hockey bag and sticks, plus two backpacks and a diaper bag. "Evie," he whined, "We really need ALL of this?"

Evie appeared at the top of the stairs with Catherine in her arms. "Yes, we do actually" she responded, "You should be thankful that the hotel provides a crib or there would be a pack and play too. Don't forget the stroller." He groaned and she started down the steps. "Papa is being silly, CatCat. He has two princesses now and we travel in style, right?" She cooed at her infant daughter who smiled back at her mother. Sidney rolled his eyes and started to load the SUV. "Love you, Beso" she called to him. 

“Love you too, my princesses,” he called back, “Now let’s hit the road.

Beach Four Seasons Resort- Palm Beach,Florida

Sidney took Catherine from Evie’s arms as she and Grace,their part time nanny, organized the two beach day beds reserved for them for the day. Evie focused on the bed that she would share with Sidney while Grace set up all of Catherine’s equipment on the other bed. 

“Go ahead and find Ian,” Evie instructed, “We have Catherine until her afternoon nap. Go enjoy the beach with your boyfriend.” The petite redhead walked off in search of her hockey player boyfriend. 

“Beso,” Evie called to her husband, “Bring Catherine over here. I want to get her hat on her before we take her out to the water.” 

Sidney smiled and made faces at his darling daughter, “Mama wants a hat on you. Yes…. to protect your fair skin.” Catherine was vocal in her displeasure as Evie placed the large sun hat on her daughter and snapped the strap. "I know, I know- little one, Mama has so many rules. Not me, I am totally the laid back dad," he joked in a jovial tone which drew a smile from Catherine. "How does it feel to have the shoe on the other foot, Evie? Now that you're the uptight one?" Evie looked up at Sidney and bopped him on the nose. "Hey- gentle hands, Evie," he pouted. It was the phrase of the month since Catherine had discovered the fine art of hitting. 

Evie took Catherine back in her arms, "Choose your words carefully, Beso. You know what uptight women don't do?" She turned to walk down to the water's edge before he could respond.

"No, what do they not do?" He asked her as he followed her.

"Fuck their husbands loudly and certainly not on the daily," she smiled as bent down to squat at the edge.

"Oh that," he smiled, "Did I say uptight? I meant hot and sexy." 

Sidney pulled his phone out to start filming. He narrated, "CatCat's first time to touch the ocean." Evie dipped Catherine's feet into the water and the child looked up in question. "CatCat, do you like it?" Sidney asked enthusiastically. A wave rolled in and hit her feet. She squealed in delight. She then proceeded to bounce her legs up and down excitedly. "It looks like she likes it, Mama," he declared.

They spent the next hour handing Catherine back and forth so that they could each enjoy the experience of her first beach trip. Sidney sat with Catherine between his legs. The waves gently rolled over their feet as she clapped her hands to create splashes. The sound of her laughter floated through the air. Catherine started taking hands full of wet sand and rubbing it on Sidney’s thighs, then laughed when the waves washed it off again.

Soon, Evie wrapped her up in a fluffy towel and took her to the daybed to breastfeed. Sidney sat beside them and angled his body to watch them. It brought him joy to watch these tender moments between his two loves. He looked at Evie who wiped tears from her eyes. "Evie?" He questioned quietly.

She gave him a soft smile."This time last year she was just a little bit- the size of a plum inside of me. Now she is the happiest little baby sitting in the ocean with her Papa," she said wistfully, "She loves you so much, Beso. It makes my heart melt." 

He bent down and kissed the top of Catherine's head. Her small hand reached up and patted his cheek. She took a breath and said “Papa.” Sidney and Evie looked at each other in disbelief. “Did she just say…” Sidney questioned. 

“Papa,” Evie smiled, “She said her first word, Papa!” 

Catherine looked back and forth between her parents in amusement. “Papa,” she said again. 

Evie looked at Sidney whose eyes filled with tears. “Papa,” he whispered, “She said my name, Evie. She said my name.” Catherine’s arms reached for Sidney. He picked her and showered her with kisses, “Papa is so proud of my princess. You said your first word.” 

Evie picked up her phone, starting filming and said "CatCat- who is that? Who is holding you?"

"Papa,Papa, Papa" Catherine squealed with delight.

Splash Shot Competition- Fort Lauderdale Beach

Evie eyed Sidney's tight white t-shirt and form fitting shorts. She glanced at the tall dunk tank. "Explain to me how this works again," she questioned. Sidney carefully explained how the game would work. "And you are relying on Nate being faster at knocking over his boards than Mikko? That's an awful lot of trust," she laughed. 

Sidney raised an eyebrow, "He has a pretty good shot, Evie."

"We'll see," she smiled, "I will enjoy it either way."

"You want to see me get wet?" He teased her.

She stepped up to him and whispered in his ear, "Almost as much you want to see me get wet. Those shorts are already making me tingle."

"Careful, Princess," he chided, "We don't a repeat of Cole Harbour from 2019"

"I believe I won that particular battle," she laughed.

Sidney shook his head and strolled over to take his position in the dunk tank. Once he got settled, he heard Evie's voice yell out loud and clear, "Looking mighty fine, Mr. Crosby!" 

He shook his head and smiled at her. "Back at ya, Mrs. C!"

Evie stood on the sideline and cheered, "Come on Mikko! Knock 'em down. " She heard the announcer, "Mikko knocked down all of the boards. He just has to hit the target." Moments later, he made contact with the NHL logo and Sidney fell into the water. 

After sinking ass first to the bottom of the tank, he popped up and wiped the hair out of his face. His white t-shirt floated up and exposed the pale skin of his abdomen. Evie gulped as the fabric of his shorts clung to his ass and thighs. "Stop it," she thought to herself, "Keep in control of yourself. Breathe normally. Do not let him see any effect on you." 

At that moment, Sidney was caught up in the flurry of activity. However, Evie did catch him giving her a glance out of the corner of his eye before he was interviewed. She watched closely and willed herself to remain calm. His biceps flexed as he climbed the ladder out of the dunk tank.The wet tshirt clung to them and accentuated the curved muscle tone. Evie had visions of his biceps as he held himself when they fucked missionary style. She was lost in her thoughts when a production assistant approached her, “Evie? Sid wants to see you. I’ll take you to him.” She followed the young assistant around to the back of the tank where Sidney stood. 

“Thanks,” Sidney said firmly- sending a clear signal that the assistant needed to leave the couple alone. Evie folded her arms across her chest and crossed her left leg in front of her right leg, squeezing them together subtly. “I heard you cheering for Mikko, Evie,” he stated plainly. She blinked and tried to determine if Sidney’s tone of voice gave any indication of his thoughts. “Why would you do that?” he smiled and continued to towel off the water from the tank. “Did you want me to get dunked?” He took a step toward her. She stepped back. He took another step and she stepped back again until her back was pressed against the back of the tank. “Answer the question, Evie,” he stepped closer. He put his hands on either side of her shoulders and leaned forward. “Did you want me to get dunked?” he asked. 

She nodded her head yes and spoke quietly, “Yes, everyone wanted to see you get dunked. Step back, please. You are getting me wet.”

“I thought you wanted to get wet,” he tilted his head, “I would bet that you are already very wet, Mon Etoile.”

“Maybe, maybe not,” she breathed into his ear, “You do realize that this is a clear wall and everybody can see you pressed up against me right now.” His head popped up and he looked through the wall to see the group of players chatting amongst themselves- all of them except one. Nate looked on, made eye contact with Sidney and shook his head with a smile. 

Evie ducked under his arms and started walking back to her spot to watch the action, “Nice try though, but you didn’t get me.”

Sidney followed after her, “It counts Evie- it counts.”

Evie turned back and resumed her walk backwards, “What counts, Beso? I am completely in control. You on the other hand…..”

“I can tell, Evie- I can tell,” he argued, “I can tell that I got you.”

“You sent for me. You pressed me against the wall. If that wall wasn’t clear, you would have started grinding against me,” she countered, “You wanted it right then and there so I win.” Sidney sighed in frustration and she continued, “You should be careful, Beso. Those shorts are clinging to you and leaving nothing to the imagination. If I win, everyone will know.” She added “No one can tell if I am turned out at all so watch yourself.” They walked together in silence back to the group of players. 

Nate nudged Evie’s shoulder with a knowing smile, “That was a close one, eh?”

“I have no idea what you are referring to, Perrito!!!” Evie winked. She leaned her head closer to Nate and whispered, “I have a plan to get Sidney. Are you in?”

“You don’t even need to ask. Of course, I am in.” Nate laughed

An hour later, the group of players had finished the event. Nate had cornered Sidney into an intense conversation with Cale Makar. Suddenly, Evie’s voice called out from a distance, “Hey Crosby!” Instantly, Sidney knew that trouble was on the horizon. He did not move. “Crosby….. Hey Crosby….. Hey there Crosby,” Evie’s voice boomed. 

Cale looked in the direction of her voice and smiled, “Oh, this is going to be good.”

Evie sat perched in the dunk tank, her feet dangling above the water. “Ohhhh Crosby!” she called again and he reluctantly turned. “You didn’t get your turn to shoot!” she called to him. 

“I’m good, Evie,” he called out with a laugh. 

“Ohhhh, I see how it is. Are you going to let Perrito besmirch the good name of Nova Scotia with that pathetic performance he gave?” she taunted him, “They’ll say those Cole Harbour boys can’t shoot at all.” 

“Hey Evie, I thought we were on the same team here,” Nate called out. 

Sidney gritted his teeth and went to the court. She flashed a bright smile, “Oh good, you are going to take your shot with me. It’s about damn time.”

 PK Subban turned to observe the interaction. He shook his head and pulled out his phone. No way was he going to miss this.

“Get ready to get wet, Evita,” Sidney called as he took his first shot, “I am going to get you absolutely soaking wet.”

“Promises, promises, promises,” she taunted as the puck went wide of the surfboard. 

Sidney shook his head and shot again, this time hitting it directly and knocking it down. His next shot sent a second board down. “Oh look at Cap, he got two, Perrito,” she called out to Nate, “How many did you get again?” 

Nate grabbed a stick and joined Sidney in shooting pucks. Sidney whispered, “Leave the last shot for me.” Evie continued her taunts as the final three boards went down. Sidney shouted, “Evie, you’re about to get wet.” as he shot the final puck. 

She laughed as he hit and she fell into the water. When she popped back, her black Penguins tshirt clung to her chest. She got out the tank and shook her head vigorously. Sidney ran to her with a towel and covered her quickly. “Evie,” he hissed, “Go directly to the bus. Do not stop to chitchat. Do not stop until you get to the back of the bus. Do you understand me?”

The ride back to the hotel was torture for both Sidney and Evie. Sidney stared at the back of the seat in front of him. Nate and Cale droned on about the dunk tank. They laughed heartily about Evie’s “prank”. Sidney took deep breaths and tried to avoid looking at Evie. Her t-shirt clung to her breasts. The chill of the AC in the bus made her nipples hard and noticeable. It took all of his willpower not to push her shirt up and devour them. 

Evie stared at her phone and sent the text to Grace. 

After she finished, she stared out the window and tried to get the sensation of Sidney’s bare thigh out of her mind. She bit her lip when she felt his hand caress her thigh. Both sighed in relief when the bus pulled to the entrance. Sidney stood, grabbed Evie’s hand and made his way off of the bus. “Gotta go,” he said loudly, “Let us through.” 

Cale turned to Nate, “I wonder what’s wrong?” Nate simply laughed. 

When they went into the elevator, he pressed her against the back wall. His hand immediately went to her chest as his thigh separated her legs. She simply said, “Cameras- Beso, there are cameras.” He groaned and moved back. When they emerged from the elevator, he bent over and carried over his shoulder to the suite. He unlocked the suite and looked around. “I had Grace take her for a walk,” Evie explained as she read his mind, “We have an hour.”

He grunted in response and carried into the bedroom. He tossed her onto the bed. It was an all out scramble to get their clothes off. Sidney climbed onto the bed as she spread her legs. He positioned himself between them. She rocked against him out of desperation, “Please, Beso, please.” 

He shook his head no, “Say the words or you don’t get it.”

“Do you want me to beg?” she said softly, “Please, Sidney, please give me that hard cock. I’ve wanted it all afternoon. Please give it to me.” 

“Who won?” he kissed her neck as she opened herself up completely to him. 

“You…. You won,” she conceded, “but do you want to gloat or take advantage of an hour of loud, hotel sex?” He thrusted into her. “Oh God,” she moaned, “That’s it.”

“Louder Evie- louder,” he commanded as he began to rail her, “I want you to scream for me.” For the next hour, sounds of their passionate sex reverberated through the suite. They took advantage of the opportunity to chase the multiple orgasms until they were spent. 

When Evie woke up later to the sound of Catherine and Grace playing on the patio, she slipped out of bed and put on her robe. “Hey,” she poked her head out the sliding door. The sun was beginning to set. “How long have you been back” Evie asked. 

“Oh, we came back after an hour, but you were still sleeping so we came out here.” Grace smiled. 

“Oh,” Evie sighed, “We were asleep when you got back?

“Well….. ” Grace started and Evie blushed. “I figured you needed your rest after that.”

Post Skills Competition Press  Conference 

Sidney walked out of the Eastern conference team locker room and searched for Evie and Catherine. He heard her cries from inside the room and dressed as quickly as possible. The cries of his daughter had escalated from a mild whimper to a full-on scream. He found Evie pacing the floor, trying her best to soothe the cranky child. "Hey," he called to her, "I came as quickly as I could." 

Evie sighed, "I've tried everything. She doesn't need a diaper change. She won't eat. Nothing is making her happy."

Catherine stretched her arms out to him, "Papa, Papa." He smiled and scooped her into his arms. He started a combo bounce and sway method that usually calmed her. Her tears slowed and she rested her head on his shoulder.

"I need to go do media," he said to Evie, "Follow me." He nodded to his press escort and the small entourage snaked through the crowd. They pointed to Sidney's spot. "Okay, CatCat," he smiled at his daughter, "Time for Papa to go answer questions." The infant clung to his neck. Evie tried to extricate Catherine's death grip from his neck. She began to scream and cry again. "CatCat, go to Mama," he spoke again which produced the same result. "I'll just take her with me," he smiled, "Do you want to go with Papa? Do you want to answer questions too? Yes, Princesita?"

Sidney sat down in the chair with Catherine in his arms. She rested her head on his shoulder and eyed the group of reporters suspiciously. He glanced down at her to assure himself that she was fine. "You get two for the price of one today guys," he laughed, "Ready?"

The first question, "Did having your daughter change your  All Star experience so far?"

"Oh definitely, travel is extremely different with an infant." he laughed, "She has more luggage than I do. It takes a lot of accessories to be this cute. Right, Catherine? You have to have lots of bow options?" The group of reporters smiled as Catherine cracked a smile. He spoke again, "I have dreamed of sharing this experience with a family since I attended my first All Star. As you saw with Ovi and Sergei, it creates precious memories that cannot be replaced. She is a little young to understand it, but having her here has definitely made it more special. I hope that I can come again when she is older so she can participate more fully."

Second question, "What was it like to pair up with Ovechkin?" Sidney began his answer as Catherine pushed herself up in his arms. She took notice of the microphone and reached out to touch it. Sidney deftly moved her hand away. Catherine looked at his hand and then his face. She smiled and a new game formed in her brain, "touch the microphone" He continued his answer. She waited a moment and then lunged forward again. Her hand made contact with the forbidden object before he moved her hand back. The action repeated itself about ten times before he switched her to the other side to make it more difficult. "No, Catherine," he finally broke his concentration, "leave it alone."

She looked at him and smiled, turned to the media and smiled, then lunged for the microphone again. She turned to look at Sidney as she swatted the microphones. Her mischief elicited laughter from the press which got her attention. She flashed a smile and swatted the microphones again. "Catcat, Papa said no," he said sweetly. The pack of reporters suppressed giggles as they watched Catherine test her new skills and her father's patience. How would the king of control respond?

She turned to face him. It was as if she was seeing him for the first time in ages. Her mouth opened in a wide, gummy smile. Her two bottom teeth protruded adorably. He looked back at her with a proud smile. She grabbed his face with her hands and shrieked, "Papa! Papa! Papa!" To the side, Evie pulled out her phone to take a photo. Catherine pushed up on her legs and placed a mouth kiss on his cheek. She leaned back and squealed again, "Papa, Papa, Papa!" 

Sidney stared at her face and laughed uncontrollably. "CatCat, CatCat, CatCat," The duo stared at each other and traded greetings. Sidney completely forgot where he was in the moment. When her mouth made contact again, there was a distinct sucking motion. She pulled back in frustration and tried again. "Are you hungry, CatCat?" He asked with a chuckle. She continued to suck his cheek. "I can't help you there, Princesita. There is no milk in my cheek. Let's find Mama."

Evie snuck in from the side to grab Catherine, "Let Papa finish while you eat." Sidney gave Catherine a kiss before handing her over to her mother. She let out a loud cry until Evie got her to side. She discreetly got her latched on and silenced the cry. Sidney smiled, "Sorry about that. Now where were we?"

played around in CAS today, made a redesign of Rin from the game Catherine.

(spoilers for that game, i'm gonna ramble about it)

the game catherine holds a special place in my heart, i really like it, though i haven't played it in years. i actually had a dream recently that they made a third installment (or second installment depending on how you view catherine: full body) and it was awesome. i wish my dream was real. i think i'm gonna replay the game soon, since i miss it, but playing it will probably stir up mixed feelings.

catherine: full body and i have a complicated relationship. when i played it i had a blast, but i also think it negates the unique themes and atmosphere of the original. likewise, i have conflicting feelings on rin. on one hand, i love him, and i eagerly did his route, but also, he's a poorly written character in my opinion.

anyway, redesign. why did i change rin's design? well, his original design is one of the worst things about him. he sticks out like a sore thumb in the game, he looks way too short and girly (yes i know that's the point but it's dumb), and i hate it. his concept art was better though still not perfect. not that my redesign is perfect, obviously, but it's an improvement according to my personal tastes.

for his redesign, i had one name in my mind, and that name is Song Liling. the character from the cronenberg film M. Butterfly. spoilers for that, btw. anyway, song liling, in my mind, is the perfect epitome of what they were going for with rin, in terms of that plotline. therefore, inspired by liling, i leaned into making rin look more elegant and mature, while retaining his youthfulness and colorfulness. i think this way, he looks less out of place. i also made an effort to keep rin's androgyny, but more... actual androgyny instead of what we got in the game.

i know the outfit is a far cry from rin's original aesthetic, but i honestly had no idea what to do with the kawaii look. it's nice, and i wanted to keep it, i just had no inspiration. i was hoping to do something decora-like, similar to his concept art, but it just didn't work, so i went with the more elegant look instead. well, i like it, at least.

i also wish rin's personality was just a touch different. he's great, but kinda moe for catherine, i think? i think he'd be better if his "cuteness" was turned down a bit in favor of him being more of vincent's friend, like actual friend, if that makes sense? atlus was going for friends to lovers, i think, but rin being so "helpless" and "adorable" kinda made him more of this stereotypical perfect love interest. if he was genuinely someone vincent became friends with through being neighbors and hanging out at the bar, rather than vincent liking rin because he's just so perfect, i think rin would be better, and the romance would be better. rin can definitely stay sweet and gentle, i think the alternative to Cat and Kat being a gentle person is perfect, but i wish rin was less childish and cutesy.

i don't know if any of that made sense, but it makes sense in my head.

lastly, "lore redesign". simply: rin is some kind of heavenly being, and i mean an actual heavenly being, not what they did in the game. he's a heavenly being whose mission was to stop catherine and the torture of the men. iirc that's the canon lore already, but i hate the space stuff, i'm sorry. the whole "catherine takes place on a space colony" thing was cute and fun when it was just an easter egg, but making catherine into a sci-fi game is horrible. just horrible to me. i can't stand it. so yeah, rin is an angel. it may be obvious and predictable but it just makes sense and makes the game flow better. catherine is a demon, katherine is a human, and rin is an angel. there. no aliens.

is that everything? yeah, that's my redesign of rin. i know the overlap of sims and catherine fans must be very small, so probably no one will like this, but i like it, and that's enough for me.

my game was crashing today and it was horrible. i think the cause was the venue change mod but i'm not sure. but regardless i didn't need the venue change mod anymore so taking it out was fine. hopefully my game is fine. i'm getting bored with sims 4 now though. my sim climbed the mountain so now it just feels blah. i have other goals of course but with that out of the way i'm just bored. i'm thinking i might boot up the sims 2 soon. i still don't really feel like going back to 3 yet, though i know i will in time. i go through phases with the sims, sometimes its 4, then 3, then 2. not necessarily in that order.

//Rant and Catherine: Full Body spoilers under the cut

Oh my god, for fucks sake. Whoever made this Wikipedia edit has obviously never actually played Rin's route.

Vincent directly asks him if he's a guy, and Rin responds in the affirmative.

Rin identifies as male. He is not a trans woman, he is a man.

Vincent has trouble addressing Rin as a woman because he fucking isn't one.

I hate that gender non-conforming characters apparently aren't allowed to exist without this constant "um, actually, they're actually trans, they were just written poorly" bullshit.

Oh, and don't fucking get me started on the article they cite as a source, because it's just blatantly incorrect. They frame the scene in question as "Vincent discovering Rin has a penis, and the game arbitrarily deciding to refer to her with he/him pronouns afterwards." as if he doesn't literally outright say that yes, he is a man.

[arcticyarn]

today’s psychoanalyzing surefour post

spoilers for Catherine: Full Body

which C/Kathe/Rin would he choose from Catherine if he played it? i was bored at work and had fun thinking about it because i know this man deeply and intimately. one day i'll fucking GET him (<- violence)

Rin: initially I think he'd like Rin the most because the game lets you/Vincent believe that Rin is a flat-chested woman (basically a legal l*li type). s4 is a l*licon this is self-explanatory. also the strong personalities of the C/Katherines would put him off because he sees himself as some sort of dominant ~bdsm style~ despite not having had sex ever. eventually the game reveals that Rin is a femboy. SO at this point whether s4 continues to pursue him is entirely dependent on how much of a reddit gaylord memer he wants to be. If he is streaming then chat may convince him to go for the femboy and he'll do it for the joke, but if he is playing it alone there's no way he'd choose Rin. Das it

Katherine: she's the most domineering of the love interests so this would immediately make him not like her, especially because he reflexively hates on the nagging wife trope any chance he gets (remember s4 is a KHHV and therefore has never felt the touch of a woman). then again, we also have to keep in mind that surefour is "demisexual" and the idea of a long-term monogamous relationship that becomes marriage WOULD sound nice to him, and in full body they added more K scenes including flashbacks to when she was a high-school-aged kawaii nerdy tomboy princess. plus i have a feeling that his honest, default answers to the quiz questions would push him to K. there is a fair chance that towards the middle/end of the game he'd go for her, HOWEVER-

Catherine: it starts as an adulterous hookup which he'd hate besides the sex, plus she repeatedly ignores and interrupts you/Vincent when you try to break it off. he may fall for her womanly charm and seductive nature (she is a succubus after all) but his insistence that he is truly demisexual combined with his desire to not be overpowered by a domineering woman would make him not like C.

before we conclude we must consider that s4's type is white/black/silver-haired women, and that he likes animal features (cat ears and tails) in women. under normal circumstances K would be his ideal woman because she is mildly alternative. BUT Catherine can becomes any man's ideal woman, AND in full body they added the le wholesome tradwife ending for her including marriage and children. plus she is less like a real person and more like a character, and s4's ideal woman is an anime girl b/c he is scared of real women. therefore i am leaning strongly towards Catherine. i would mock him for being such a pussy but i am terrified of women and men so that's like being a double pussy. i'm drinking so i can be honest rn. i'm a pussy

Final chapter trivia + Thanks

• Soleil/Youta's big sister Hino Akari is the Advverse version (and namedropped/mentioned only) of Hinomoto Akari. • Although not shown here, Miss Espimon was with Koushiro and Taichi dragging down Naito and his partner Impmon. • Despite of the profile for Iustimon mentioning he's an Armor level, the version of YPD here is an JP-Ultimate/Dub-Mega level. • The original idea for Soleil and Lune's "Crests" (Fairness & Serenity, respectively) were actually Digimentals. And they're way different from the Crests they originally were assigned in DigiTimeLines (which were Light & Energy). • Lune's Lunamon always was able to evolve to Crescemon, but since Lune was not the type to use brute force, she kept restraining her partner to evolve further. Because Lekismon has a less harmful ability -- the sleeping bubble bombs (Moon Night Bomb) • Like mentioned before, Ryo's backstory and headcanon-like ideas are based on the idea there was one Ryo once, got ejected from the timeline and kept wandering between worlds (just like Hikawa/Nokita) for almost 2-or-3 years and with no memories. He was shattered into many versions and all of them went to different timelines/worlds. The one to be depicted here is the one who went back to the OG Advverse, and had a few of his memories from the past "gathered" and "inserted" back into his head by Mastemon. • Yes, the link at the end of this unexpected surprise scene leads to who you think it is. She was in my original plans for Ryo's headcanon-story since i played Cyber Sleuth/Hacker's Memory. She's not like a big spoiler for those two games and it's mostly a cameo in them, so no worries about it. She's also only mentioned here, so it's another sort of cameo. • And Yeah, Daisuke did not witness what happened once Hikawa left his body. But he would've said exactly what Takeru guessed if he were awake. • Also it ends with room for a sequel because I definitely wanted to write a sequel with Rui involved this time, but the 02TB movie recently is out on both physical and digital (tho the latter i have no idea *where* is available for purchase or watch online) and i'd prefer to wait a bit more... • The blog of this project had already some sort of "sequel foreshadowing" in the recent art of the Space Trio as adults, with profiles and explaining where they were during 02TB movie events.

The closure might sound like a little rushed, but it's because I was running out of ideas. I wanted to do more but I got too focused on 02TB brainrot, and doodling daily Rui-kun art, plus rebuilding my Kamen Rider AU that it felt I should... End it asap. (And because i wanted to write a sequel with Rui-kun involved, he's my favorite movie character at the moment)

Hope you liked this full experiment! Now I need to find a friend who can speak French so i can write down one the omake one of my friends suggested involving Catherine Deneuve calling Noel out for his weird fake French accent! Since he's not even French?! (and because i also don't speak French too 💧)

Thank you, and See ya next time (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)

BTVS Speaking Time: Adults Men vs. Women edition part 2 (racing bar chart)

Inspired by this great coraniaid post, I created the Adults Men vs. Women edition of the speaking time racing bar chart in part 1. (It includes the top adults by speaking time, the top 7 adult women and the top 5 adult men. No demons or vampires included.) Spoilers for the show BTW!

Giles has an enormous amount of speaking time, so I wanted to explore that. Is it true that if we exclude Giles (who is Buffy's father figure) that the adult men and women have equivalent speaking times? (Of course this ignores that of the top 5 men only 1 dies and of the top 5 women they all die, but let's ignore death for a minute.)

Answer: Nope. Even excluding Giles the top 4 adult men have more speaking time than the top 7 adult women.

(Again, credit to J. Freedland who did the GitHub data work.) Details below the cut!

There are 4 bars in this chart. The top one is "Top 5 M", so this includes all top 5 adult men by speaking time, or more simply "Men." The next bar is "Top 4 M", this is the same as "Top 5 M" but excluding Giles. Think of it as "Men without Giles." The next bar is "Top 7 W," this is the top 7 adult women by speaking time. And the last bar is "Top 5 W," this is the top 5 adult women. You can think of this as Women without Ms. Kroger or Olivia if you like.

The interactive categories for this chart are Men, Men without Giles, and Women. They are color-coded in the chart and you can add or remove them at will.

While Giles does skew the Top 5 Men's numbers with his speaking time, even excluding him, the top 4 adult men have more speaking time than the top 7 adult women. It's not a TON, but it is a noticeable difference.

Same as in Part 1: For the purposes of these 13 characters, they are assumed to be men or women. This is assuming that all 13 characters are non-binary.

Same as in Part 1: The top 5 adult men by speaking time are: Rupert Giles (most speaking time), Riley Finn, Robin Wood, Principal Snyder, and Wesley Wyndam-Pryce. Note that of these 5, only 1 of them dies during the show.

Same as in Part 1: The top 7 adult women by speaking time are: Joyce Summers (most speaking time), Jenny Calendar, Maggie Walsh, Gwendolyn Post, Catherine Madison (Amy's Mom), Ms. Doris Kroger (Dawn's social worker), and Olivia Williams (Rupert's British friend and romantic interest). Note that of these 7, the top 5 all die during the show.

Same as in Part 1: Joyce and Jenny and Maggie have speaking time after their deaths, because their ghost will appear, or the First will use their body.

Made using Flourish, it was free. This still lacks captions, which I hope to add in later. Will update if I do. End goal is a Tableau dashboard to dig into the full data, but this is fun for now.

This is a summary based on the cumulative speaking time per episode for these 13 characters in seconds. (The original J. Freedland data did the work of compiling this for each character for each episode. Note that on a high-level review it seems accurate. And the original data combines E01 and E02 for S06 into one entry.)

Happy to share the source data (currently in excel) upon request, however it is really just the raw csv from J. Freedland's GitHub in excel, and then basic math making it cumulative to put into Flourish.

If you have any requests for this type of chart for BTVS let me know!

[werewolf-cuddles]

I still think one of the most egregiously false things said about Catherine: Full Body before it’s western release was the way some posters on ResetEra framed the reveal of Rin’s gender.

I don’t remember the exact wording, but it was something along the lines of “Vincent violently assaults Rin after finding out that she’s trans*”, which is a pretty dramatic way of wording “Rin attempts to comfort a clearly distressed Vincent shortly after the latter finds out that the former is actually a man, only for him to slap his hand away out of shock**, something which he very clearly regrets and immediately tries to apologize for.”

* Rin isn’t a trans woman. He’s a crossdresser. He makes it very clear in the scene where this is revealed that he identifies as male.

** It’s probably worth mentioning that in this scene, Vincent is grappling with internalized homophobia, which he learns to overcome a few scenes later.

[vincent-x-rin]

I played Rin's route first and I honestly think that everyone who called the game problematic or whatever would change their mind once they see that story in its entirety

Honestly I agree, I think most people would be like that.

It's easy for people who haven't played the game to say it's super problematic and irredeemable. But the game honestly deals with topics that most other games either don't have or don't treat with respect.

And full body could be better, certainly, but it's overall an affirming game -in my opinion- mlm, gender non-conforming men, and bisexual men.

It's okay to disagree with my opinion of course, but I'm speaking as a bisexual man myself. It blew my fucking mind that this game had a bisexual male character, a gay romance and even a little coming out story in it. Sure there's other games like that (especially indies), but a Japanese game from a big name dev like Atlus? Not exactly super common.

[pink-nasa]

My thoughts on Catherine are.... complicated. On one hand I adore the game, it's aesthetics, it's story and characters. On the other, its handling of gnc and transgender characters is,, funky.

I kinda wish that they'd added two new routes, that way Vincent COULD both end up as MLM or fall in love with a transwoman whose given respect. Maybe Qatherine could've been a confirmed transwoman, and we could also have Rin who presents totally as male so we wouldn't get tr@p jokes?

I think that a story where it's between Qatherine, a transwoman with amnesia would loves and doesn't put any pressure on Vincent to become someone or something he's not vs Katherine, a stable, strong, orderly and traditional relationship vs Catherine, a free spirited, chaotic, off the rails romance vs Rin a new and freeing person who helps Vincent throughout the other romances while also falling in love with him, and Vincent realizing that he's bi/pan/whatever and ending up with him. I feel like that could've been more compelling, while also being more Queer friendly.

I love this game, I just don't agree with some of its narrative sometimes :/

[montyblanc]

The Worst Arguments of Naoto Discourse

Just responding to some of the bad arguments I've seen from both sides of the discourse, because yikes do they make some bad points sometimes.

The Trans Naoto Side

"Atlus clearly designed her to be trans but copped out at the last minute."

There is zero proof of this. In fact, what info they have given on Naoto's development goes against this. Naoto was originally conceived as a male character, but later changed to female.

"Atlus just hates LGBT people."

Wrong. Look, I'm not gonna pretend Atlus is the pinnacle of representation, but I'm not gonna pretend they hate LGBT people either. This is most evident in Persona 2 with Jun and Tatsuya, and Catherine: Full Body with Erica (mostly) and Rin. In fact, Rin's true ending is very LGBT friendly (I won't spoil it, just watch it). Catherine was directed and written by most of the people who worked on Persona 4, and the addition of the Full Body content was made because the game wanted to reflect more modern values that they couldn't get away with when making the original. Of, Atlus has fumbled when it comes to LGBT rep (such as in P3's babe hunt), but they've also had some damn good rep in other titles. So to say Atlus as a whole hates LGBT people is just false. Atlus isn't a singular entity with singular beliefs and never has been. (Also P3 FeMC has heavily implied relationships with Elizabeth and Aigis)

The Anti-Trans Naoto Side

"It ruins the message she sends about sexism."

It doesn't ruin it. No matter what, her arc would still involve sexism due to Japanese occupations still looking down on women. It pretty much puts on another layer.

"It goes against canon."

Yeah well, what are you gonna do about it? I'm not a fan of canon-defying headcanons either, but you can't stop it. These people aren't hurting you. Get over it. Block it out if you need to.
