The submarine -

Ch 9

“The chopper will bring you back to Washington in 2 hours,” the Skipper said. 

That was like a cold shower.

He clearly wanted you off the boat.

Gibbs confirmed the instruction with a brief "understood" and then went ahead to your cabin.

When you got there, you packed everything up without saying a word and then walked through the boat again to check that you hadn't forgotten anything.

Then the helicopter arrived.

You said goodbye and were on your way home.

You should have been happy that you could finally get off this floating torture device, but you couldn't be happy.

No, quite the opposite. You looked back wistfully at the submarine getting smaller and smaller in the distance.

And Gibbs? Instead of looking after you like he did on the way there, calming you down and holding your hand, he looked out to sea on the other side and completely ignored you.

What on earth happened on this boat? What on earth happened to you two?

Completely lost in thought, you didn't really notice anything about the flight, so you were surprised that you had already landed.

Immediately after landing, Gibbs grabbed his bag, got out and went to the team car. That was a very clear sign. The old Gibbs was back and what had happened on the boat would stay there.

You quickly grabbed your own bag and ran after him before he left without you.

You spent the drive to the office in silence and you could literally feel Gibbs rebuilding his inner walls, this time making them even thicker and pulling them even higher.

You sighed in disappointment and tried to come to terms with this experience internally, but that would clearly take a while.

When you arrived at the bullpen, you wrote your reports and then had a few days off.

Each of you drove to your home, like countless times before. But this time it was different.

You came home and there was no one there. His house and your apartment were empty. For a moment you thought about the small cabin on the boat where the other lived with you.

That was the best part of the case, being together. The conversations, the cuddling, falling asleep and waking up together and just being there for each other.

Well, it was definitely over.

Since it was already late, you went to sleep. But no matter how hard you tried, you just couldn't get to sleep. Something was missing, or rather, someone. Maybe he couldn't sleep either? But could you dare?

No matter, you couldn't stop thinking about him, got up, got dressed and drove to him.

When you got there, his house was dark. Was he even home? Or was he already asleep?

Then you saw a faint glow of light under a door. That was definitely the door to the basement where he built his famous and infamous boats.

You stood in his living room undecided and hesitated. Suddenly it didn't seem like such a good idea to just drive to him and so late in the evening too. Maybe you should leave him alone after the forced closeness on the boat.

But you couldn't help it. You just couldn't find peace without him because you missed him and his closeness so much.

But how will he react to seeing you again, here in his house? What will he say? Could you disturb him? Should you disturb him? Maybe he wanted to be alone? Or maybe he had visitors? Female visitors?

You approached the door carefully and listened to see if you could hear any voices, but the only thing you could hear was a quiet, scraping noise.

When you got to the door, you finally gathered up all your courage and opened the door... and there he was. He was wearing his casual clothes, working on a boat and was so incredibly sexy that your knees immediately went weak at the sight of him.

When Gibbs heard the door open, he looked up in surprise. Was he so lost in his thoughts that he really didn't hear someone visiting him? Obviously yes.

He had tried to banish you from his thoughts, because he just couldn't stop thinking about you. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't. It just wasn't possible.

And now you were standing there. In his house, in the doorway to his basement. A manifestation of his thoughts, so to speak, and he would like nothing more than to go to you, pull you into his arms and kiss you until you knew and understood what you meant to him.

What Makes a Penguin Commando? Ch. 4

Chapter Four

Skipper and Hans know how to fight now, but what's the point if it's never used? The young birds must begin to use their skills for helping other animals in Denmark. Who knows? They might even make a name for themselves...there's certainly no way that could backfire later.

Higurashi When They Cry Hou Ch. 8 Matsuribayashi pt. 23

I don’t know about the idea of skimming over some of these fragments. They’re all generally important to the overarching narrative, and they’re usually pretty short. Ones like the Ooishi one I guess I could sum up pretty concisely, but I kind of want you to experience it the way that I did. The only difference being I don’t know if I can instill the small feeling of dread that I began to feel midway through the fragments. Dread because of the fact that I was actively enjoying the story as it was being presented by these fragments, and all. But because I was enjoying it, I became paranoid that eventually something would happen to put an end to my enjoyment and drag the chapter down. Would you believe me when I say I do genuinely recommend this series?

The old guy continued

Fun fact, this was actually supposed to be contained entirely within the last part, but I hit the screenshot limit without meaning to, so now The old guy is a split part.

I know that the entire purpose of this fragment is to firmly cement Ooishi’s motivation and grudge against the Sonozaki family. But at the same time it’s just a bit of a skipper.

And that’s how the fragment ends with Ooishi declaring war on anyone who has the last name Sonozaki in his community.

One of the things I didn’t catch for whatever reason upon reading the fragment featuring the manager of the dam constructions death the first, second, or somehow even the third time, was the fact that the manager was the one who instigated the deadly dispute. That he’s the one who flew into a rage, swinging his shovel to attack the construction guys, which led to his demise. Somehow it just didn’t register until I was reading the fragment again for entirely unrelated reasons that it clicked that he was ultimately his own undoing. More to that point, do you suppose the foreman himself was infected with Hinamizawa Syndrome? Or was it the stress of the dam war that led to his fatal fight?

This somewhat recolors Ooishi’s revenge plot, as he is entirely unaware that it was the foreman who led to his own downfall much less the Sonozakis.

The first sacrifice

With this particular fragment we really start delving deeper into some of the larger unanswered mysteries from the series. Answers, are ahead, in this the final chapter of the Answer Arcs.

I wonder why Irie is skeptical of the random chance encounter Takano had with this guy? It hasn’t come up yet in the fragments that he’s suspicious of her research into Hinamizawa Syndrome, so I just wonder why he doubts her. Would it be better for him if she had for whatever reason had the Mountain Dogs or herself stalking this guy on the off-chance he had the terminal levels they need? Does he think Takano and the Mountain Dogs are just cruising around Hinamizawa in their van ready to abduct everyone who might fit the bill? Do you think they use the Okonogi Gardeners van as their kidnapping van?

I might be misremembering, but wasn’t it implied in Onikakushi the other five guys who were compelled into this dismemberment plot dumped their body parts that day? Could you imagine if they decided to do it just a day at a time? What I want to know is what poor bastard had head, or torso disposal duty? That must’ve really sucked for them, at least if I was forced to dispose of a random body part I’d rather get an arm or a leg.

Also, I kind of like the implication that Irie has performed amputations in the past.

The line “I need a medical sacrifice” is such a wonderfully deranged line. Clearly this line of thinking disturbs Irie, but it just really encapsulates his character pretty well I think. He’s done this before, he has willingly dirtied his hands to try to solve the issues with the human brain, but as the passage of time makes people rethink former crazy and harmful individuals he’s having difficulty reconciling with his past. Perhaps it’s a societal thing, the outrage and furor over his previous actions of performing lobotomies without consent instilled him with a feeling of doubt about the correctness of his actions.

I don’t think that Irie’s worries about Takano’s safety are genuine, not fully at least. He might on a subconscious level worry that she might get hurt, but I think he’s really just feeling trepidation over her tests, and the idea that they’re really going to dissect this mans brain while he’s alive.

I love this problematic woman.

I don’t know if manliness is really the problem here. I really do think he’s just being affected by the societal views about the ethics of his research in the past versus the present.

Something that I find odd about all of this is how despite the dam project being shut down in late 1978 to early 1979 is that the ministry of construction kept the foreman on the job. Was he just there to keep an eye on whatever equipment was still on site? Furthermore, why did it take a year for the construction worker to snap and murder him? Was he somehow able to naturally suppress his Hinamizawa Syndrome despite being an L5 terminal patient when he did the deed?

Disney Dreamland - Part 2: Adventureland

Due to my quirk of wanting each land’s name to reflect a broad genre, Frontierland was basically merged into Adventureland (I know westerns are their own genre, but I felt it too niche compared to the other genres I picked). I tried my best not to be stereotypical in regards to certain areas. Cultural experts would be consulted (both native to their country and diaspora). 

Also, I should mention, I friggin' love carousels. I put at least one in each genre land. I'm just that nuts about them.

Imperial Courtyard

This area would be similar to the China Pavilion in EPCOT, but more focused on fiction and mythology. Includes a lovely lotus pond garden to sit and relax in. Would have Lunar New Year celebrations in the winter. Disclaimer: I may be a child of Hong Kong immigrants but I grew up a full westerner New Yorker. Please consult cultural experts.   At the moment, my mind’s eye is picturing this area neatly tucked away in a corner between World Galleria and the rest of Adventureland.

Sun Wukong the Monkey King / Journey to the West: Dark ride. I only recently learned that despite Sun Wukong being a popular character, he is not in fact the protagonist of Journey to the West. I think centering it on either Sun Wukong’s life and backstory, or the actual journey to the West with the other characters could work. The art style would resemble Chinese calligraphy paintings come to life. I would also love an original song that ties the entire ride together, in the same manner as “Compass of Your Heart” from Sindbad's Storybook Voyage in Tokyo DisneySea.

Mulan stage show: Would contain well-choreographed martial arts stunts, alongside musical performances, with “Make A Man Out of You” being the big showstopper combining both. For the design aesthetic, I’m thinking of something similar to Mulan’s float unit in Shanghai’s parade.

Zodiac Carousel: Under a lovely red and gold Chinese pavilion roof. Features twelve rows of animals of the Chinese Zodiac. Could be located inside the garden.

Jade Phoenix Tea House: Chinese tea, pastries, and dim sum.

Golden Dragon Restaurant: Table service.

Equatorial Tropics

Blends from Polynesia to Africa. 

The Enchanted Tiki Room : The only thing I’d change is have a new cast of host birds, to make it unique. Maybe there could also be a temporary Lilo and Stitch / Moana overlay during the summer months. 

Polynesian Terrace restaurant: Table service.

Jungle River Cruise: Obviously would not include condescending stereotypes of natives. Otherwise, I would like it to be distinctly unique from other versions of the ride with a new storyline and skipper commentary.

“Treetop Village” : My park’s equivalent of the Swiss Family Treehouse. I wanted to have a suspension bridge entrance like Anaheim’s version used to have (as Tarzan’s Treehouse), which I thought looked so cool, and then I thought about putting my treehouse on an island in the Jungle River Cruise, like Hong Kong’s, with the bridge crossing over the river from the walkway entrance. Then I thought, why not make it a whole village of treehouses on the island, all connected by suspension bridges? It would be limited to a handful of trees so as not to disrupt the Jungle Cruise ride too much, but would still have plenty of scenic views for guests to see. There could be a few interactive elements for guests to play with, such as rope and pulley systems, to simulate the illusion of functioning living quarters. Maybe even include a couple of swings.

Tales of Anansi: Dark ride. A stylized retelling of the Anansi stories with a unique art style, in the same manner as how Lion King was adapted for stage. This is partially to look cool and unique, and partially to avoid Anansi looking too creepy for anyone afraid of spiders. Please consult cultural experts.

Circle of Life buffet: Cuisine from Kenya and Tanzania, the countries of inspiration for The Lion King. But just for fun, one of the desserts could be Timon and Pumbaa’s Chocolate “Mud” and Gummy Bugs. 

Disney Dreamland Railroad Adventureland station: Styled after a jungle trading post

Pirate Cove

Visually based off the Adventure Isle area in Paris’s Adventureland. Includes a walkthrough ship, a restaurant ship, a small island (Skull Island), and a picturesque waterfall. This area would probably be outside the railroad perimeter, accessible through a mountain tunnel.

“Pirates Ride” : I think Pirates of the Caribbean is a very neat ride. I have a lot of mixed feelings regarding *ahem* certain scenes, but that’s a lot to unpack for another time. I do not want this version of Pirates to have anything to do with the movies, which while entertaining, I feel have overstayed their welcome (but I will admit the scenery in Shanghai’s version of the ride is breathtaking, both real and digital, and the battle climax is definitely exciting). Rather than copying the classic ride, I would love it if Imagineers would come up with a brand new story with a brand new set of pirates in another part of the world. That said, I have no issue with Jack Sparrow being a walk around character in the area.

“Pirate Explore Zone”: Inspired by the various walkthrough ships in Disney Parks. Could also extend to Skull Island, which includes caves you can wander around, inspired by Le Ventre de la Terre underneath Paris’s version of the Swiss Family Treehouse.

“Pirate Stunt Show”: An action stunt show on the water utilizing floats.

“Pirate Ship restaurant”: Quick service.

X Marks the Shop: Pirated themed merchandise.

Wild Western Frontier

The start of “Frontierland”. Part typical Wild West town, part Native community featuring adobe pueblos, part Grand Canyon-style rock formations. Please consult cultural experts.

Western River Expedition: Based on the never-built attraction by Marc Davis. Would be tweaked to avoid any stereotypical portrayals of Native peoples. Please consult cultural experts. The river flume would be crafted to intertwine with Big Thunder’s railroad. Also includes a snapshot photo-op at the final drop, like Splash Mountain. 

Big Thunder Mountain: Mostly the same, but I would rearrange to have the train pass through the underground Rainbow Caverns at the end before the unloading dock. Story could go that in trying to find the last motherlode of gold, you accidentally trigger explosions that nearly trap you, but end up unearthing the caverns; pretty much like the Mickey Mouse short Nature's Wonderland that homages this ride and its predecessor. Lesson being that in life, you may not always find what you want, but sometimes you find something else just as valuable. 

Cowboy Carousel: Would appear to be built out of wood. Could resemble a farm enclosure. Horses in cowboy hats and bandanas. This is not really a necessary addition to the area, but as I mentioned, I LOVE carousels and could not resist putting it on this list.

Golden Horseshoe Revue restaurant: American cuisine and BBQ and saloon stage show. Table service. (I have yet to experience this in the existing parks, but I’d like to some day.)

General Store: Cowboy-themed merchandise.

“Native Legends of the West” / “Legends of Coyote”: Dark ride designed in a Native art style. Please consult cultural experts. Could retell various legends of the region, but for a more unified story it could focus on the trickster character of Coyote. 

Native-owned shops: Authentic Native American artisan crafts. Shout-out to @disneylanddilettante for the idea. Could feature live demonstrations and workshops for kids, along with guides to explain the cultural significance. 

Land of the Dead restaurant: Mexican cuisine. I wanted a place that could be themed as a nod to Coco, my favorite Pixar movie, without being heavily IP themed. Actual Día de Muertos celebrations would only happen in the fall; this restaurant would basically allude to the daily lives of the inhabitants of The Land of the Dead the rest of the year outside of Día de Muertos. Please consult cultural experts. Would include a live mariachi band.

Rivers of America

Embodies the calmer aspects of Frontierland, however I still think they fit neatly into Adventureland if you think of life itself as an adventure, with this area being the "take it easy" part. The northern coast of the river would be on the edge of Mysteryland, part of that land’s city themed area, but with the buildings facing the river themed to New Orleans.

Fort Wilderness Island: Themed to a summer camp.

Fort Wilderness River Rafts: Transport to and from the island.

Davy Crockett Explorer Canoes

“Tall Tales Campfire”: Stage show retelling of classic American tall tales. Does not have to be a literal campfire, as that would limit the shows to nighttime only, not to mention be a hazard. 

Camp Woodchuck Kitchen: Based on the restaurant of the same name from Tokyo. Quick service. Waffle sandwiches and s’mores brownies. The original three flavors of waffles sandwiches were Fried Chicken and Maple Sauce (Huey), Bacon and Vegetables and BBQ Sauce (Dewey), and Shrimp and Avocado (Louie).

Johnny Appleseed stand: Apple tarts, apple fritters, apple fries, caramel apples, and apple cider.

On the coast of the river:

Mark Twain Riverboat

“Musical Americana Animals”: Animatronic stage show inspired by The Country Bear Jamboree and America Sings.

Tiana’s Palace: New Orleans cuisine. Tiana’s signature beignets and swamp gumbo are a must. Jazz band playing live music, with appearances by Louis the alligator and performances by Tiana and Naveen. There could even be a short Mardi Gras show every hour.

Other parts:

World Galleria

Mysteryland

Fantasyland

Create-It-Land

Discoveryland

The submarine -

Ch 8

Nose to nose and tightly entwined, your front pressed against his, you woke up the next morning.

And judging by what you felt, Gibbs was obviously having pleasant dreams, very pleasant dreams. And what was pressed hard against your stomach was enormous.

You could hardly suppress a moan. This man in whose arms you were laying was sexy as hell and whoever he was dreaming about, he seemed to like a lot.

What you didn't know was that it was you he was dreaming about. About you and all the things he would like to do with you. Or rather: who he dreamed about. Because he had woken up a while ago after a very realistic dream and noticed that you had wrapped yourself around him in his sleep.

Oh man, that was definitely too much for him. He groaned inwardly and asked himself desperately how much longer he could endure this torture. He was only a man after all.

And a single man at that, with a barely clothed, very attractive woman clinging tightly to his body...what had he done to deserve this?

He was clearly aroused and rock hard. He feared your reaction and tried to hide his condition, but who was he fooling? It was impossible to hide it in any way.

And as understandable as his physical reaction to you was, it was still a little uncomfortable for him, because after all, he was your boss. What were you feeling right now...?

Quite simple: you weren't feeling much different than him and for the same reasons as him, you tried to break away from him without further embarrassments, if possible. But not without first taking the opportunity to carefully stroke his muscular back and his trained chest with your hands.

Very slowly you released your grip and sat up. Then a gentle “Good morning” sounded behind you.

You turned around and looked directly into his deep blue eyes. The open and loving expression in them made you smile and you whispered: “Good morning to you too.”

For what felt like an eternity you just looked into each other’s eyes and tried to figure out what the other was thinking and feeling. The situation was a bit uncomfortable for both of you.

Unconsciously you took his hand and squeezed it gently.

Hopefully he would get the message that you weren’t angry with him.

Then he broke the silence and said in a disappointed tone: “Go to the bathroom and get ready. Take your time, I need a moment.”

It took you a few seconds to understand what he meant. But then it dawned on you. You nodded and went into the bathroom with your day clothes.

With you having disappeared into the bathroom, Gibbs took a deep breath and turned onto his back with his arm over his face and only one thought in his head: “How should things continue?”

The atmosphere between you became more and more sexually charged and it was crackling with feelings for each other. But would you have the courage to reveal yourselves to each other? And if so, what consequences would await you?

Immediately after you came out of the bathroom, Gibbs went in and was out again after 5 minutes.

“We're doing a test run today and telling the whole crew. If we're lucky, the saboteur will become active and careless and we can catch him,” he told you.

“Okay,” you confirmed.

After breakfast, Gibbs discussed the plan directly with the skipper, who immediately informed the crew and had all the necessary preparations made.

The skipper observed the crew on the bridge, Gibbs was at the launch tubes and you checked the systems from the officers' mess.

Up until now, everything was going as it should and there was a lot of activity on the boat.

Then suddenly, loud shouting came from the pantry:

“Binder, what are you doing?! Miller! Gibbs!” the COB yelled and as you ran to the pantry, you could hear scuffling.

When you got there, you were greeted by an unusual sight. The cook was sitting on the floor with a split lip and the COB was standing over him, breathing heavily. And on the supplies was a laptop with programming on it - YOUR programming!

The XO, who arrived shortly after you, looked at all of you and then asked sternly: “What's going on here? And why is there a laptop here that's switched on?”

The COB explained: “I was just looking for Binder, because I wanted to discuss the skipper's birthday dinner with him and since he wasn't in the galley, as he always was at this time, I started looking for him. I then found him working on this laptop.”

While the COB explained what had happened, you looked at the programming, which had actually been changed so that the missiles would miss their target.

Instead of anger, you only felt astonishment, so you turned around and just asked: “Why?”

Binder hung his head and explained simply: “My brother is developing a similar program, but it’s not yet advanced enough to be tested and I wanted to buy him some time.”

“Where did you get the knowledge for such sabotage?” asked Gibbs.

“From my youth. I have always kept it up to date,” replied the cook.

Gibbs then read Binder his rights and the COB put him in custody. The XO informed the skipper, who wanted to meet with you in the officers’ mess.

Gathered there, the COB, the XO, Gibbs and you reported to the skipper. He decided: “The test will be carried out as ordered. After that, you will both return to Washington. As soon as we have a replacement for Binder, we will hand him over to the authorities. In the meantime, he will stay on board, but under strict supervision.”

Then he turned to you: “The test is in 5 minutes. Do you want to observe it from the bridge?”

“Yes, of course.”

“Good, then follow me.”

The skipper went ahead and gave the commands for the test when he got to the bridge. Much to your delight it worked correctly this time, because Binder couldn't save his changes.

You wanted to scream, cheer, jump and romp with joy. Unfortunately, this was inappropriate in such a place, so you just raised your fist in the air with a triumphant “YES!!!”.

A huge weight fell from your shoulders, your program worked. You didn't know what to do with your excitement.

But everyone looked at you so strangely as you stood there with your fist in the air.

You looked around, shrugged your shoulders, grinned and explained: “Rocky always does that, I saw it on TV!”

Now no one could be held back and everyone burst into thunderous laughter.

But the general joy was abruptly interrupted by the following words from the skipper:

“Good, the test was successful and the saboteur has been caught. In 2 hours the helicopter will come and bring you both back you should pack your things.”

Barbie: Skipper and the Big Babysitting Adventure

[crewelintentions-if]

Hi!!! Could you explain the traits, blue, purple or red?

Hi! Great question!!!!

So basically I riffed it from Dragon Age 2 but with some tweaking! Typically, when I write a player character I need SOME foundation of personality to work with and thus I thought the classic blue/purple/red would be perfect as a jumping-off point. I might actually add more in a later iteration of the game <3

More Info below the cut!

Narratively, it's how Timor shapes Skipper's core personality. You're given a ring to signify how you want this to manifest. In-game will also show you which Demeanor stats will get a boost from each Persona type! All Skippers will have similarities in their personalities, but it'll show in different ways, like their selfishness!

Let me rip the actual descriptions from the game lol:

Your ring's stone is a soothing cerulean. You're known for your ''diplomatic'' persona. Your peerage thinks you're pretty ''helpful'' and ''genuine''.

Your ring's stone is a deep wine. You're known for your ''charming'' persona. Your peerage thinks of you as ''humorous'' and ''sarcastic''.

So far how I've written blue!Skipper is more open and optimistic when engaging with both strangers and family/friends. They're honest about their feelings with their close ones tho, so even negative feelings are displayed honestly by this Skipper!

So I really don't want this one to be: "silly bastard who has no idea what they're doing" This Skipper is kind of an asshole. They're MUCH more politically savvy than diplomatic Skipper, who is the Everyman's Skipper. This Skipper will have a more obvious shift in how they interact with people they know and people they don't. purple!Skipper is mean/playful with their family/friends while with strangers/public they're disarming and articulate. really hope I can pull this off!

Your ring's stone is a searing merlot. You're known for your ''direct'' persona. Your peerage thinks you're rather ''aggressive'' and ''dismissive''.

This isn't an evil Skipper, red!Skipper is just trying to be high functioning okay. Honestly, all Skippers can be evil/rough (there's a scene where you can choke your cennend's imp regardless of Persona)! but this Skipper is probably my favorite one because they're genuine in a QUICK way. They're the most goal-oriented Skipper and are confident in their ability to achieve those goals. As long as they aren't distracted. And they are very good at not being distracted. they still act pretty stupid tho.

Thank you for the question and LMK if you need more clarification on the Personality, Reputation & Demeanor!
