In Nightfall when everyone was all paired up for Atlantis trips to try and find Vespera's symbol I just know Biana was spoiling her friends

Not only can she buy them a million little gifts and knickknacks while taking them to her favorite shops

BUT SHE'S PAYING WITH ALVAR'S STUPID CUBE WALLET

Yeah, thats right. Biana Vacker is draining her big bother's birth fund and he deserves it. She'd do it too. Who's gonna stop her? Fitz? Nope, he's turning a blind eye to that. Not his brother, not his problem.

Biana didn't let anyone pay for anything while in Atlantis. She kept saying "it's on me" while fully just paying with Alvar's money.

After kidnapping and torturing her best friends, trying to kill the gnomes, and much much more. Alvar can break the bank a little (a lot) for the multiple clothes shopping trips, the cafe visits, the trinket finding, the random gadget parts, more clothes shopping (the boots were totally Dex's style and you can't blame her if that tunic matched Tam's silver bangs), the rapidly increasing amount of furniture (Dex said the triplets broke his desk leg, it's not like she couldn't not buy it), and so much more.

Next chapter of How to Raise the Dead

Jack gets back late from the grocery store. 8 pm. He usually goes at 7 am on Saturday, but. Well.

Danny is asleep in the living room like Jack left him, their latest quilt bunched up around his small form. No backing. Hasn’t even been pressed yet. Fresh and new and covered in tiny strings.

It’s been a while since they worked on a project together.

Granny squares of cartoon ghosts with happy faces ring a large, detailed paper piecing of the Fenton Portal. It’s done all up in floral pastels. True soft quilt colors. Jack’s grown to prefer bright neons and the signature Fenton green, but an old fashioned quilt is good, too. It near matches the much smaller one framed on the wall. Danny’s first quilt, though of course Jack did most of it at the time. The picture beside it is Danny holding up the finished project, smiling big, missing some milk teeth. About third grade, if Jack remembers right. Or was that the year he skipped ahead? Well, whatever it was, it was Danny’s First Quilt Year.

And this one, now, with the door to the land of the dead lovingly rendered as the centerpiece, will not be the last.

-

3 AM. The Fenton Phones buzz with a silent alarm. Maddie sleeps through it, Jack wakes up. Lays there for a while. Listens to the shower run, the lack of footsteps in the hall upstairs. Danny’d disappeared around 11 pm. Vanished from his room in the usual way.

Jack eventually falls back to sleep, relieved his boy is home. For the night, at least.

He wakes at 5, as usual, then comes down to find Danny sitting on the davenport, wrapped in one of the new fabric bolts like a blanket and very much asleep. His hair is the special kind of mess that tossing and turning with wet hair makes. The bags beneath his eyes are so deep they look painted on. True bruises. Jack sets a slippered foot on the wood floor under the stairs and Danny jolts awake. Instant reaction. Too tired to know what to do with it. Squints at Jack in the early morning dark and interrupts himself with a huge yawn. Damn does he have some chompers.

“How ‘bout some coffee, son?” Jack offers.

Danny slurs out a positive, then snuggles back down. Jack gets a single cup brewing and watches the sun rise with his son.

They’re working on tracing pattern pieces when the girls come down the stairs. Both dressed for the day, Maddie about two hours early. Oh, Jazz’s tour is today. That’s right. Jack’s been distracted.

“Are you coming, Dad? Danny?” Jazz’s tone shifts slightly as she leans around to catch Danny laying on the carpet, half asleep and up to his elbows in wrinkled pattern paper.

“Danny, are you alright, honey?” Maddie asks, looking less drastically tired, but equally glassy eyed and unhappy with the hour. Like mother like son.

“Oh, you know how quilting goes, Mads!” Jack intervenes. “We were up late last night, early morning, too. I’ll stay and keep him company. Unless you need me to be there, Jazz?”

Maddie blinks once, slowly, looking intently at Jack for a moment before yawning and heading to find her purse. Jazz looks away from her open appraisal of Danny. Jack doesn’t want to turn and look, make them suspicious or anything, so he’s left wondering what she’s looking for. If Danny’s giving her some kind of code, begging for her to stay, to take him with, not to leave him home alone with Jack. Whatever she sees must be positive. Or maybe unconscious. She doesn’t take her eyes off Jack when she says, all innocence and honesty,

“No, it’s alright, Dad. It’s just one tour. I’m staying to talk to the career councilor afterwards, anyway. No reason to make you all wait.”

“Alrighty then, Jazzy. Let me know how it goes. See you later, dear.” He kisses his tired wife goodbye. Passes a note into her pocket. Waves them both out the door for their own early morning.

Normally, he’d go to the supermarket at this time, but Danny’s dead on his - absolutely exhausted, and Jack would rather keep him home safe for a change. He deserves it.

The front door clicks shut, and it echoes. Jack lets out a heavy breath.

“Want some breakfast, Danno?” He asks, turning to find Danny blinking heavily, eyes scrunching like it hurts. But he’s sitting up, mostly, and clutching the cup of decaf Jack slipped some ectoplasm in like he’s forgotten about it.

Jack kneels down beside him and sets a hand on his shoulder, gently straightening him up.

“Come ‘ere,” He offers his arm, taking the cup in his other hand. Danny flops on to his shoulder immediately. Mumbles, “I’m not a baby,” but yawns again and doesn’t even try to stand on his own. Jack lifts him easily. Calling Danny 90 pounds would be generous. Jack might not be into weight training any more, but he’ll always be strong enough to support his kids. It’s been a while since he’s gotten to cart either of them around. It’s nice. He hadn’t realized he missed it.

He puts the cup on the kitchen table and sets Danny in his seat.

“Alright, what’ll it be, bud?”

“Pancakes,” Danny mumbles, blowing on the cold coffee. Looks a little more present now.

Jack readies the ingredients and gets Danny stirring. Pulls the old pan out from the pantry. Pauses. Maybe they shouldn’t use this anymore. It was a gift from Vlad, freshman year, half gag gift, half honest peace offering to end the Prank War. A novelty Halloween pan with two large, pancake sized sheet ghosts. It’s a bit dented and well loved from the years, but it’s a good pan. Jack’d loved the thing, and did what any good best friend would do and bought Vlad the hard stuff he liked, but couldn’t really afford, as thanks. He only got to drink half of it.

Vlad’s his best friend. But. No more missed connections. No more distance. No more silence between loved ones when one is hurting. No more carefully closed doors. He sets the pan on the stove to heat.

After breakfast, they sit together in the living room and finish cutting out the quilt pieces. Danny’d always liked that part the best; tracing from the straightedge and making everything square up. It’s quiet, but peaceful. They work together just as well as they did - what, last year? Has it really only been that long since Danny had last joined him in the early morning? Has Jack gotten that lax, as a parent, to not notice? Attributing all the odd little changes Danny’s gone through to puberty and growing up and new school all sounded so sensible at the time. They still do. Of course they do. Who in their right mind would ever put money on what Jack’s betting on?

But Jack’s got eyes for a reason, his grandmama used to say. So he’d been using them. Took her good words and true voice, but set the rifle back on the shelf to cool. Not everything breeds fear. Not anymore. Not when Jack’s studied ectoplasm for long enough to understand that the instinctual fear ghosts bring out in humans is nothing more than smoke and mirrors, nothing that they can help doing. Danny isn’t a menace on purpose, not in this at least. Jack sets some quiet music up to cancel out the white noise and does his best not to let Danny in his peripherals.

Honestly, it’s getting easier and easier. Looks like there’s an acclimation period followed by a threshold shifting. If Jack just keeps aware around his son, he’ll stop being afraid altogether. He’s glad.

By the time dinner rolls around, poor Danny looks fit to collapse. He’d stubbornly powered through, pretending he’d slept last night and didn’t need to head up for a rest. Now he’s holding the edge of the quilt while Jack handstitches in a few details. Jack didn’t trust him with a needle. Is glad of it when he reaches over and gently pushes Danny back and he goes down like a sack of rocks. Stays down. Passed out instantly. Jack snips the last thread and lays the quilt top over him, smoothing his wild hair gently.

Tacks a note to the table right in front of his face and heads down to the store. He’ll probably sleep through it.

-

He does. Jack makes up something quick for himself and sets three portions in the fridge. His girls’ll be home late, like he asked. He probably should have talked with Maddie first, but the opportunity came too quick. He’s sure she’ll understand. Maybe she even got something out of Jazz.

Nah, probably not. Jazz is one tough cookie. He’s rather proud.

Of both of them.

He turns the lock and gently lifts Danny from the davenport. Expects him to stay down, but he squirms and squints up at Jack.

“Hey, Danno.” He greets the face that’s too tired to be suspicious properly. “Was gonna take you to your room for the night. Is that good?” Jack pauses, considers his words, his hold, carefully, says, “Or do you wanna go downstairs?”

Danny’s eyes slip closed again, and his hand curls into the quilt. “Downstairs,” He mumbles.

Jack takes him down to the portal. Tugs the seat out from under the stairs and drags it closer to the vortex in the doorway. Gets Danny down for the night. He looks so relaxed. So green.

It’s still a strange thing, this boy of his. But just this one nice day, this little bit of trust Jack’s painstakingly wrangled from him, feels like a victory. Like a door that’s been firmly locked has been eased open a crack. There’s less between them. Less distance, even if only a little.

Jack kisses his son’s forehead and leaves him to sleep in the lab.

How to Design a Million Dollars Playing Video Poker

Ill level bearing in mind you  if I knew some ordinary method for making a million dollars on video poker, I wouldnt be blogging right now. Id be in the Alaskan wilderness catching salmon or just sitting on my urge on porch cracking gain access to a beer.

So how can you become a video poker millionaire? The unchangeable is, there is no one unnamed method scr888 malaysia that will slant you into a video poker millionaire. Im suspicious of get-rich quick ideas of any variety. As a general rule, the less do its stuff something requires, the less full of life it is.

I can think of a few outside-the-box ways to put two commas in your bank account playing video poker:

You could win a million dollars playing higher video poker. Of course, youd have to win an unlikely number of future jackpots to sum $1,000,000  video poker later jackpots are considerably smaller than slot machines, resetting to with $500 and $1,500, and rarely paying off more than two or three time the reset amount. Dont forget how scarce difficult video poker games are  you wont find a single cutting edge video poker game on the Vegas Strip or anywhere in Atlantic City. You could sit on putting child maintenance in the machine until you hit an uncanny streak of luck. Lets say youre betting max, $5 per tab and $25 credits per hand. If you could string together sufficient $30 payouts in a row, youd eventually win a million bucks. It would endure 200,000 straight 6-credit wins (to offset the coast of each rounds maximum bet), and would totally lift some eyebrows at the IRS, but I suppose its technically (given plenty decimal places) possible. You could have a essentially gnarly slip-and-fall accident though playing a video poker machine. If its found that the casino was negligent in inspecting and maintaining their property, youll be entitled to compensation, damages, and (in rare cases) a punitive praise expected to tutor the casino a lesson they wont easily forget. Its within the realm of possibility that you could win a million-dollar settlement. Of course, this is abuse of the system, and it would make you a horrible human being. It may backfire too  the court may toss the warfare out, especially if there is no evidence of negligence. Those three ideas are beautiful far outdoor the realm of possibility. otherwise of slipping in a spilled drink, waiting for a mathematical miracle, or losing your shirt chasing progressives, I recommend a more level-headed approach.

The Three Basic Tenets of the Video Poker Millionaire The three tenets listed under arent exactly secret. Theyre freely-available every over the Internet. I can vouch for this fact, as Ive written dozens of blog posts upon these topics beyond the years.

Once youve moot how to function video poker, every you need to realize to (one day) create a million bucks playing the game is follow these three easy rules:

Learn Basic Strategy If you desire to have fun in Vegas and dont mind eventually giving your entire $100 bankroll to the casino, you dont habit to badly affect roughly strategy.

If your plan is to earn a million dollars from video poker, you have to become a graduate student of gambling. It helps if you have a fine library near your home, past some of the books youll desire to get into arent all that genial online. In fact, if you rouse close a own up the academy next a decent research library, youre a step ahead.

While youre at it, subscribe to some gaming magazines. If youre mostly going to gamble in Vegas, subscribe to some Vegas content, too. belong to a couple of forums. Depending upon where you live, you may be accomplished to find seminars in your area teaching legitimate video poker and additional game strategies. By the way, this isnt something you can attain when or twice a year for a couple of years and be curtains as soon as it. subsequently new games arrive extra strategies, and past additional casinos arrive new opportunities for advantage gambling. Youll essentially obsession to become a lifelong student of gambling and game strategy.

Choose Player-Friendly Games Unfortunately, the heyday of +EV video poker is long gone. You can yet locate a few high-paying titles that make a special trip to a specific casino or website worth your time. Specifically, theres plenty 10/7 Double extra and full-pay Deuces Wild upon casino floors in the gambling Meccas of America to save things interesting. If you are absolutely determined to earn a million bucks from video poker, you should probably stick to these titles only, past any new titles are going to keep too much of your maintenance more than time.

If you dont mind gambling a little (or waiting a few new years to earn your million), you can accomplishment some of the 99%+ titles that casinos still host. These are generally available whether youre online, in Vegas, in Atlantic City, or elsewhere in the USA. The so-called Not consequently ugly Deuces games (which we call 25/16/10) is well-liked and gives the casino a less than a quarter-percent edge, as complete most casinos versions 9/6 Jacks or Better, and the venerable 8/5 other Poker next a recompense of approximately 99.1%.

Casinos love to put sub-99% video poker games sharply adjacent to identical games set high. This is especially legal in the few casinos where you still locate full-pay titles. This means you absolutely have to inspect every pay table since you play.

Manage Your maintenance (and Earn Comps) The nice of dedication it takes to become a gambling millionaire means that it shouldnt be hard for you to rigorously control how much you spend on video poker. But past you should always bet maximum, your wager size and scope are lovely limited. instead of unbearable roughly bet sizing, focus on earning those crucial other relief casinos have enough money their loyal customers. That means joining the players club, exchanging club points for cash, scoring multiple-points promos, entering raffles and drawings, playing in video poker tournaments, remembering to mail in those bounce-back rewards clipping coupons, and pretense every those irritating things that tend to make a casino trip less fun.

In exchange for a tiny bit of what always feels afterward wasted time, youre putting a big dent in the casinos edge. If youre already playing +EV games, using comps basically extends your tiny edge. Not a statistically-significant amount at first, but more than time, it makes a huge difference.

Reasons why Best Wishes is GREAT.

The main trio

Just the greatness of the main trio deserves its own post tbh

SATOSHI, IRIS, AND DENT…. KINGS AND QUEEN OF CHILL

BUT ALSO KINGS AND QUEEN OF DORKINESS

The most beautiful team dynamics. But aha what makes it work is that the teamwork permeates the action. Their closeness rarely gets spelt out – and it pretty much never gets spelt out in touching terms. Most of the times, we only know they like each other because (a) well they stuck together for a whole region i guess (b) the jokes (e.g. dent and his mentions of marriage here and there) (c) the natural synchronicity they grew to have (synchronized excitement and glee, synchronized panic etc). They dont stop to tell each other ‘im glad youre here’ and they dont have touching episodes about friendships growing deeper and speeches about learning from each other — even iris and satoshi’s episode about fighting and making up was done in a light-hearted way with jokes throughout (all the zooms out with dent’s narration), and whenever dent talks about what he learned from the two others he has to add a bit of his sommelier air (which makes things naturally light)…..

but thats the whole charm of it! The beauty of Best Wishes is that the relationships speak for themselves, they speak through the fact that the jokes are thrown and hit back like ping pong in the dialogues, and they speak through the fact that despite all the natural clashes in their personalities, they wanted to and managed to stay together. which kind of leads to the next point:

They are three independent and self-reliant souls - meaning, the only reason they stay together is because they each looked at the other two and thought : ‘hey. im having a good time right now. i want to continue some more’. I think BW is a bit peculiar in the sense that this is the only time since OS that Satoshi travels with two companions that are experienced (e.g. Haruka, Hikari, and Serena started out as their respective series did) Iris is actually more experienced than Satoshi, considering how young she was when she started battling with Doryuzu. Dent is also a Gym Leader. From this perspective, Satoshi doesn’t have to mentor anyone in the BWOT3; at the same time, he’s seen his own fair share (and defo has the most experience in terms of travels) so he’s not getting mentored by anyone either (in OS, he was the newbie). This directly affects their dynamics as a team. Basically, No one puts anyone on a pedestal in this trio.

Sure, dent was a bit fascinated by satoshi in the beginning, but he’s definitely not getting mentored hahaha oh boy and there is no idolatry there. In fact, each of the 3 is painfully aware of the others’ quirks and shortcomings from the get-go. and moreover, they ALL HAVE AN EGO THAT HAS THINGS TO SAY.

It’s painfully clear from the very beginning that they each have very strongly anchored personalities and that these personalities are not a natural match. Dent and Iris are like a big bang of their own concerning this, with all their Truth vs Ideal symbolism and contrast galore…but that applies to all 3. All 3 have a strong sense of self, and this leads to a refreshing trio because in the end, none depends on the other 2 to define themselves. They are more than willing to learn from each other, but they do so by observing things and internalizing them, while having fun on the outside. At the end of the day, Iris and Dent weren’t truly following Satoshi or enabling him. They were independent spirits on their own journey, and that became super clear in the way they separated at the end – relaxed, without drama, and without tears. In that sense, the trio never seemed to revolve around Satoshi, but was instead 3 free spirits sharing the same path for a while – which actually makes for a real trio, rather than two companions for Satoshi, with Satoshi as the centre piece.

The Mon teams

EACH POKEMON HAS A PERSONALITY THAT HOLDS ITS OWN

My exposure to pokeani is limited tbh, but Best Wishes seems to have paid less attention to creating a storyline between mon and trainer (e.g Gekkouga in XY, Lizardon in OS, Hikozaru in DP)? There was a bit of stuff with Pokabu, a bit with Iris’ Doryuzu + Kairyu, but overall, not much is explored. In fact, Satoshi doesn’t really have a regional ace in BW (arguably Waruvile? although there’s not much storyline). NEVERTHELESS, there is a charm to this absence of special mon in the storyline.

Firstly, all the mons got a chance to let their personality shine. And they did! They each had a personality, just like human characters. Secondly, in Best Wishes, the angst level in general is reduced to a minimal level….and so, this got heavily reflected in the dynamics between all the mons.

The mons in BW all have very well-defined dynamics, but these are all on the light-hearted side: Emonga and Tsutarja have contrasting personalities, Mijumaru and Pokabu clash too for different reasons, Zuruggu my God Zuruggu is a wonder of his own…. Just like the main trio, the trio’s mons are a recipe for smiles/laughter, rather than being emotionally touching in the traditional sense. This whole thing makes the mon teams in Best Wishes especially charming, and fit perfectly into the general mood of the series! which leads to the next point.   

The MOOD

Best Wishes is incredibly chill.

It’s dorky overall — not just in the sense of having dorky characters; the show as a whole is written and built in a dorky way so that it can at anytime walk into crackland and no one can ask any questions about it.

AND IT DOES walk into crackland. The fillers in BW are either full-on crack, or actually have a plot with an intrigue/mystery (still with, often, a touch of crack). One of the episodes was basically Inception in Pokeani. Even when the plot itself is not crack, the show makes it a point to keep humor high on the list of priorities…and boy it is high

Dent, on its own, invites crack. But there is something in the way the series is crafted that allows all the characters to hit you hard with the jokes and the punch lines. The jokes in BW don’t go stale, because they take unexpected turns at unexpected moments, and are delivered in refreshing ways. Characters like Dent (with his 300 hobbies and out-of-this-world speech pattern) are not stuck with the same kind of lines / jokes / reactions all the time. Even Iris’ “You’re such a child” line changes completely depending on her tone. She’s also very dynamic so she can easily alternate between making you laugh and making you cry.

Also, her facial expressions. Everyone’s facial expressions

Sometimes, there are running gags, like Bel crashing into Satoshi, or Kenyan’s name, but most of the time, there are more dynamic characters like Dent, Iris, Cabernet, or even one-time characters like Gothimu and her trainer, to keep things moving. The jokes are sometimes inappropriate, sometimes unexpected, sometimes both �� so overall, BW rly let go of all inhibitions when it came down to humor (and made one question whether it was still a kid’s show sometimes), and that was one of the most refreshing parts of it.

The so-called “downside” to this is of course, since the whole series looks like a sitcom of sorts, the battles/league really arent the main point. But that’s it. They’re not the main point. The main point is to have a good time.

The script writing

This is rather related to the technical side of it, but Best Wishes is great because it’s written in a way that flows smoothly.

The reason why the main trio’s dynamic speaks for itself, or why the jokes actually work for more than just kids, is that the dialogues flow naturally and are interesting. They worked well with characterization and have a great rhythm! My experience with Pokeani is that it sometimes serves lines that are supposed to send a great message, or are meant to act as the punch line, but they are not delivered in a way that fits the rhythm of the conversation/scene. As a result, a scene ends up seeming like it’s plain, cheesy, or a little boring, even. BW nailed the dialogues throughout. It’s part of why the series could manage such a huge cast of characters without getting lost.  The script was just well written.

The other great thing related about the writing + the humor is just…the storyboard and the directing, i mean…

There are just…comedic choices that were made and were golden in this series

BW!Satoshi

This deserves its own point

He’s suuuuuuuuuper chill

Satoshi in Best Wishes is just the ultimately level of laid-back, forward-looking and sweet, because he combines the reasonableness and level-headedness of a trainer who’s already seen 4 regions before, with the liveliness and goofiness of the child that he is. He’s basically more laid-back/less competitive about battles than in DP, more lively and dynamic than XY, and more mature about misshaps and losses than in OS.  

He was comfortable, relaxed, and having fun. And that made him adorable and endearing.

Basically

Best Wishes is amazing. If you need to destress and have a good time, watch it

Never Let Me Go [4/37]

A/N: Warning: This chapter contains a scene of self-inflicted harm (not to be confused with self-harm), and capital punishment/physical abuse. Reader discretion is advised.

I'm moving Update Day to Tuesdays because of my class schedule, so next update will be September 5th. This update is early because my wonderful, precious, adorable, pain-in-the-ass cat is sick (again) and I will be busy with her at the vet tomorrow. Sooo, you guys get an early update. Be mindful of the warnings in this note, I'm not exaggerating here.

Chapter Three – Escape

As Yuri settled into his new life at the Altin Estate, he put forward a bland, unresponsive attitude for the alpha, Otabek while he tried to figure out a way to get the hell out of this gilded prison.

Yuri felt very much like a trapped animal, except in a sprawling mansion with more rooms than an average hotel, and ridiculous gardens, and an actual staff of people responsible for the upkeep of the place. Otabek did not even need to lift a finger, and everything he could ever want was available to him.

Including Yuri, or so the alpha liked to believe.

For the first three days, Otabek would offer Yuri beautiful clothes in his exact size; rich foods that he could not even pronounce the name of; and every form of entertainment Yuri could possibly imagine, from gaming consoles to movies, and everything in between.

Yuri wanted none of it. Any hospitality Otabek had to offer, Yuri spat it back in his face.

He stayed in the clothes he'd been forced into from back at the House, he refused to eat, and he sat in complete silence for hours, refusing to speak to Otabek, or do anything at all.

Most unfortunately, though he staunchly refused to accept anything Otabek had to offer(though he snuck mouthfuls of water whenever he went to the washroom, given that he couldn't escape if he fainted from dehydration), his high stress levels always exhausted him, paired with the lack of food, and he always fell asleep early. He would consistently wake to find himself back in Otabek's bed, and the unfamiliar hands on him was always enough to make him break out in gooseflesh, and he felt distinctly sick to his stomach.

He wanted to go home.

The worst part was, Yuri knew full-well that he couldn't, and that made the painful longing for home even more potent.

When Yuri woke on the fourth day it was well past noon, and he was blessedly alone in the bed. He was still clothed in what he had been wearing yesterday, and despite the fact that he was beginning to feel somewhat desperate for a change and a wash, he still refused to accept anything from his jailer.

Yuri sat up slowly and rubbed his eyes. It was at that moment that he noticed that the air smelt of something familiar, and his stomach gave an audible rumble. He looked around for the source of the smell, and spotted it immediately, sitting innocently on top of the desk across the room, resting next to an enormous iMac screen.

Yuri slipped from the bed, and as he approached the pirozki, he saw a note resting under a large glass of water. As his eyes zipped across the paper, his curiosity shifted immediately to anger.

Yuri,

I needed to step out for a few hours to see to some business. I shouldn't be gone too long.

I read in your file that these are your favourite food, please enjoy them.

x

Otabek

Yuri picked up the plate, pirozki and all, and threw it against the opposite wall as hard as he possibly could.

The porcelain shattered on impact and the pastries burst open, scattering filling everywhere. Yuri followed it by pitching the glass of water on top of the mess, and it too shattered with an almighty crash.

He snatched up the note and shredded it, and after he threw down the note on top of the mess of Otabek's hospitality he stormed from the room and headed straight for the bathroom across the hall from Otabek's room.

Yuri rummaged through the cabinets, not even giving the huge, marble-everywhere bathroom more than a passing glance while he searched.

He found what he was looking for in under a minute, and Yuri's face split into his first genuine smile since arriving in this new hell.

The razor looked expensive, which gave Yuri a strange sense of vindictive glee as he cracked open the razor's head with a soap dish and he extracted the blades.

Yuri paused his feverish activity to gently prod at his forearm, and found what he was searching for immediately. A tiny lump on his inner right forearm—the microchip.

The omega gave himself a moment to breathe and brace himself for what was to come, then with mildly shaking hands, he lifted one of the blades between the fingers of his left hand, and dug the wickedly sharp edge into his skin.

Blood beaded around the implement, and Yuri bit back a hiss of pain as he sliced into himself, and created a long but shallow cut. His arm was quickly streaked with red, and it dripped from his elbow, staining the white bath mat under his feet. Yuri shifted a little to ensure that more drops fell onto the mat, rather than the counter, to ensure that the mess he left behind was not one that would be cleared away easily. He wanted Otabek to remember what happens when someone tries to tame him.

Once Yuri deemed the cut large enough, he tossed the bloody blade into the sink, and with a grimace, he dug his fingers into the cut, rooting around for the tiny tracking device.

Thankfully the microchip was not embedded too deeply into his skin, and Yuri found it easily. As he pulled it out, it looked much the same as the last time he'd seen it, though this time he was not in a state of complete and utter panic, and he was able to take in more details of the physical appearance of the thing. It was small and cylindrical like a vitamin capsule, blinking red, but too bloody to discern much else. It looked more or less how Yuri had expected, and he felt a surge of joy race through him as he dropped it into the toilet, and watched it disappear as he flushed.

The omega paused long enough to grab a wad of toilet paper to mop up the blood from the minor wound, but he got a sick sort of pleasure of shaking off the latent droplets onto the floor.

Part one of his escape plan complete, Yuri looked into the mirror to study it.

The Collar.

It was a simple circlet of shiny metal. It rested low on his throat, and there was no catch that he could see, nor any indent to indicate where the edge of the thing was. It was a perfect circle—perfect proverbial ball and chain.

This is an obedience collar, Yuri thought, that's why Otabek said it was temporary. That means it's probably linked wirelessly to some sort of invisible fence thing. If I try to leave the grounds, I'll probably get an electric shock or something.

Yuri smirked as an idea came to him.

Time to show this Otabek why he made a big mistake in trying to tame me.

~*~

Yuri cleaned himself up as best he could, and once the cut on his forearm did not look quite as gory, he slipped from the bathroom, down to the main level of the house, and began to search for a doorway that would lead to the basement.

He passed by a few maids as he wandered, and ignored them when they tried to politely greet him. Clearly, they hadn't found the mess he'd made upstairs yet.

It took almost twenty minutes for Yuri to make his way through the ridiculously huge house to the kitchens, and there he found what he was looking for—the sub-terrestrial level of the house.

Yuri quickly glanced around for anyone who might spot him, and grabbed a set of rubber gloves from next to the sink before he slipped down to the basement, and began to search for a fuse box.

He found what he was looking for not far from a ridiculously oversized water tank, but when he flicked the fuse box open, he cursed, for it wasn't a jumble of wires he could just yank apart like he'd hoped, but instead it contained a number of elaborate, unmarked switches.

“Fuck,” Yuri hissed, “okay, don't panic, Plan B, Plan B...” he muttered as he looked around, squinting in the semi-darkness. Something red perched on a low table caught his eye; he smirked as he rushed over to it, and flicked the toolbox open hastily. Inside, he found exactly what he was looking for.

A metal sledgehammer in hand, with a handle encased in rubber, Yuri backtracked to the fuse box, swung it open, and took the hammer in both hands as he took careful aim.

He swung the tool with all his strength, and though the hammer hit home, the inside of the fuse box dented, but nothing broke. Yuri swung at it again, and again, and on the fifth time, a shower of sparks rained out of the box, and he was engulfed in darkness.

Mission accomplished.

Yuri dropped the tool and carefully felt his way back to the stairs. He could hear a few people crying out in surprise at the sudden blackout, and he'd only just managed to clear the door and hide as a man and woman hurried past him, flashlights in hand to see what had gone wrong.

Certain that the connection to his collar was now cut, Yuri wasted no time, and he hurried from the kitchen, down the hall, and towards the back gardens.

The door he sought out was blessedly unlocked, and Yuri burst out into the crisp autumn air just as he heard the soft thundering of footsteps behind him, and a somewhat distraught voice call out.

“Master Yuri!” a man cried, and Yuri turned to see one of the servants running towards him. “Wait! where are you going?”

Yuri did not answer, but smirked and fingered a wave at the young man, then turned and raced away from the house's patio. He could hear the man cry out and try to give chase, but after so long running from alphas and House Catchers, Yuri was much faster.

Outside, like Otabek had said, the house (though to Yuri it seemed more like a palatial estate) was surrounded by dense forest, but the edges of the property were marked clearly by low flower gardens, like a living fence surrounding the house's perimeter.

Yuri ran through the flowers, kicking and uprooting as many as he could as he went. He could taste his freedom, it was so close—

A sharp crackle of what sounded like a live wire was the only warning Yuri got before sharp pain lanced through his body, and he crumpled to the ground with a sharp yelp of pain. His heart racing, Yuri staggered to his feet as he tried to cross again, only to be shocked by the collar for a second time.

I don't understand, Yuri thought frantically as he tried to stand, but his limbs were refusing to cooperate. I cut the power, there should be no signal to this thing, unless...

“Fuck,” Yuri snarled under his breath, ...unless it has an independent supply.

Yuri tried to force himself to his feet, but immediately fell to one knee. Sweat dotted his skin as he moved to try and stand up once more, but he was impeded from trying again when the full weight of a large man crashed down on him from behind. Yuri cried out in surprise and pain as his arms were pinned to his back, and he was dragged forcibly to his feet.

“Gotcha!” the voice cried out triumphantly, laughing jovially as re adjusted his hold on Yuri as he screeched and thrashed against him, but it was like his arms had been sealed in an iron manacle. “

Come on, ya dirty bugger, you wait 'til your alpha gets home, he is not happy with you, I'll tell you that much...” the man continued as he dragged Yuri to his feet and marched him back into the house and up the stairs.

All the while, Yuri struggled against him and screamed obscenities, but the man ignored him, only stopping when he reached an unfamiliar door. He opened it, shoved Yuri inside, and slammed it shut without a word.

Yuri fell to the ground again, his weakened limbs completely incapable of holding his own weight as he heard the lock shift into place, and two voices sounded from the other side of the door.

“Do not move from this spot, do you hear me? If you need to piss, I'll get you a fucking bottle, I don't care, but do not leave your post. We can't let him escape again.”

“What about the windows inside the room? Couldn't he...I don't know, break 'em or something?”

“Brian, how long have you worked here? All the windows have tempered glass, you know that. And we nailed the windows in this room shut a while back, remember? Just don't move. Mr Altin will be home in a few hours, and he can decide how to best deal with the little demon...”

“Figures Mr Altin would pick an omega who's such a goddamn piece of work...”

“Maybe now the little fucker will think twice before causing a few hundred roubles in damages...”

The voices faded away as Yuri crawled to one corner of the room and slumped down against the wall, finally letting his dizziness and exhaustion overwhelm him.

He was so completely, and utterly fucked.

Yuri knew full-well what happened to omegas who were caught misbehaving.

There was a reason after all that rule one of any escape attempt was the same in every Omega House—

Don't get caught.

Yuri shivered as he tried to not think about what sort of beating this Otabek might mete out. He'd heard that alphas were more vicious than House owners were in their beatings for misconduct, and Yuri had seriously misconducted.

The omega pulled his knees to his chest, and he buried his face in his thighs. He was too exhausted to even be properly angry, and instead he held himself and wept, as his thoughts went back to his life before all this, before he'd turned sixteen and been whisked away to an Omega House, before he'd run away over and over to escape the fate of being bound to an alpha for the rest of his life—back to the only person who'd ever truly cared for him—his grandfather, Nikolai Plisetsky.

His smiling face, his salt-and-pepper hair, and their little, rickety house by the sea.

It should have come as no surprise however when the first thing that came to mind was the gut-wrenching conversation that ended his life at the tender age of thirteen—when Nikolai had been informed that Yuri had presented as an omega.

Even now, years later, Yuri still could recall that conversation word for word.

“Oh, my brave, brave Yuratchka, I wish it was not so, but on your sixteenth birthday, I will not be able to give you anything but my apologies. You are an omega, you see, and in this country, once you have matured, at sixteen, they will take you to an Omega House. I don't think I will see you again. They say it is for your own safety that you are locked away, kept out of the hands of dangerous alphas, and instead they must go through the proper legal channels to claim you. You must be brave, my grandson. I know it is scary, but I will have no choice but to let you go. I'm so sorry.”

His words had been partially true. Three years later he had been taken away, and now, presently five years after that conversation, he had not seen his grandfather once. Yuri had no idea if he was alive or dead, and that hurt him more than his status as an omega ever would.

Yuri moved from his spot and into a corner of the room that was farthest from the door.

He curled up, making himself as small as possible, and tried to not think of what awaited him when Otabek got home.

~*~

Three hours later, Yuri heard the soft click of the door's lock shifting, and he glanced up nervously to see Otabek stepping into the room. He wore in a crisp business suit, clearly tailored to him, and he looked positively exhausted. In that time, the power had not been turned back on, and the alpha carried with him a pillar candle to see in the evening twilight. He held it in one hand, his opposite arm cradling something that Yuri could not make out while he scanned the room, presumably looking for Yuri.

It took the alpha almost a full minute to locate Yuri curled up silently in the corner. Yuri watched and waited, but made no sound as he watched Otabek look for him. When he finally spotted the omega, Yuri instinctively tensed, but did not move or speak as he watched Otabek approach him in a few quick strides of his long legs.

Otabek stopped just short of where Yuri was curled up, and he dropped a number of items in front of the omega, including the broken dishes, the bloody razor blades, and the sledgehammer. Otabek then set down the candle on the nearby bedside table before he sat down across from him, his legs crossed, and he levelled his gaze with the omega.

“Tell me why you did this,” Otabek said, his voice soft and resigned, and instead of anger in his tone, all Yuri could hear was disappointment.

“I was trying to escape,” Yuri explained simply, and frowned at Otabek, as though this were obvious.

“I thought as much,” Otabek replied, and sighed heavily. “Show me your arm, I want to make sure that cut isn't infected.”

“I'm fine,” Yuri growled while his eyes narrowed into a glare, “you don't need to concern yourself.”

“You are my omega, therefore my responsibility,” Otabek replied in what was likely supposed to be a stern tone of voice, but it came out more frustrated than commanding. “Please, show me your arm. I don't want to have to force you.”

Yuri stared at Otabek's silhouette in the near-total darkness as he weighed his options. He was already in deep shit, and therefore it would be stupid to make things worse for himself, but at the same time, obeying a command from this man in any capacity made his skin crawl.

However, Yuri knew that he had been weakened by the electric shocks from the collar, and if he tried to fight now, he would lose.

Reluctantly, Yuri extended his arm.

Otabek closed his hand over the omega's forearm, and Yuri shuddered at the touch. He winced a little when Otabek prodded at the scabbed cut, and only relaxed again when the alpha let him go.

“I don't like violence,” he said suddenly in a calm and unnervingly even tone of voice. “I like it less when it is directed at someone like you—someone whom I would like to know, not hurt. I do care for you, Yuri, regardless if you believe me or not. When my servants told me what had happened, I could hardly believe it, and I was very disappointed that you would cause so much damage for such a selfish reason. You've made the lives of everyone in this house much more difficult by your actions, and so despite my distaste for violence, I have no choice. You brought this on yourself, Yuri, and I am sorry. Come here.”

He motioned with his hand as he spoke the last two words, but Yuri immediately shrunk back into his corner without saying a word. Otabek sighed again, and withdrew something from his pocket—in the dark, Yuri could not tell what it was—and he approached Yuri slowly, trapping him in his spot.

Otabek's face was blank, and Yuri could only see this when he got close—too close for his liking. Without a word, he grabbed Yuri by the wrist and dragged him to his feet.

The sudden move made Yuri's head spin, and he tugged back on his captive wrist, which only caused Otabek to tighten his hold as he dragged Yuri towards the bed.

“No...” Yuri whimpered a little, and he felt himself burn with shame at how pathetically weak he sounded.

“I'm sorry,” Otabek repeated without emotion, and sat down on the edge of the bed. He pulled Yuri down with him, and bound his wrists together at his back with a zip tie, tightly, but not so tight that it would cut off circulation. With the same blank expression, he manoeuvred Yuri across his knees, and yanked down his jeans.

It was at that moment that cold realization washed over Yuri, just as a folded leather belt was pressed against his mouth. Seeing no other option, he bit down on the leather, and clenched his eyes shut.

“I'm sorry,” Otabek said again, “I'm giving you thirty strikes, now prepare yourself...”

Yuri clenched his eyes shut. Whatever he'd brandished for the punishment sang as it swung down towards his exposed bottom.

It hit with a sharp slap, and Yuri cried out past the belt in his mouth. It was not a tentative, gentle slap, but sure and hard. Otabek did not even flinch at Yuri's vocalization of pain.

The second hit, followed by the third. They were robotic and methodical, and none of them adequately braced Yuri for the next strike. They did not falter or soften, and instead became more painful as his skin became inflamed and sore.

Tears began to streak Yuri's cheeks, and he struggled against his bindings as the hits continued to rain down, but the zip tie would not give, and instead cut sharply into his flesh, creating papercut-thin slices in the backs and sides of his wrists. He felt his blood dampen his shirt at the small of his back, just as another strike cracked across his exposed skin.

Yuri lost count of the hits, and no matter how he cried out or struggled, Otabek still did not waver. The strikes were sure and hard—and pure agony.

On the final hit, Yuri heard a distinctive clatter, as though Otabek had tossed whatever he had been using to the floor, and his wrists fell limply to his sides as his bonds were cut. Weakened and exhausted, Yuri was as pliant as a mannequin when Otabek carefully turned him over and drew him into a gentle embrace, while still being careful to not put any pressure on his backside.

“I'm sorry,” Otabek whispered as he stroked Yuri's hair and kissed his temple. “I'm so sorry. Please don't run away from me, my omega. I want you here, and I want you safe.”

Yuri did not move or respond; so close to the beating, Otabek's words felt painfully like empty sentiment. Yuri knew now without the shadow of a doubt that if he stepped out of line again, there was every chance that Otabek would not hesitate to beat him again.

Otabek scooped Yuri up carefully and carried him to the bedroom without the aid of the lights. He lay Yuri down on his stomach, then stepped out of the room, returning a moment later with the candle he'd had earlier.

He set the candle on the bedside table, then went about changing into his pyjamas. Yuri watched as Otabek stripped out of his suit and pulled on a pair of simple cotton pyjama pants, completely uncaring if Yuri saw his naked body. It was true that in the near-total darkness Yuri couldn't see much, but it was also very clear that Otabek had nothing to be ashamed of, either.

The alpha slid into the bed next to Yuri, but despite the fact that they were both half-naked, the alpha made no move to touch him intimately. Yuri was privately grateful for this, because his ass really hurt.

A heavy arm suddenly draped across the middle of Yuri's back, and he tensed when Otabek shifted closer, but surprisingly, he still kept his hands above the waist. Yuri shivered when he felt lips brush lightly against his temple.

“I care for you, my Yuri,” Otabek murmured, “I know it doesn't look like it, but I do. I want you to choose me, in the end.”

The tender words so soon after the punishment made Yuri feel dizzy, and he clenched his eyes shut as they began to burn. He willed himself away from his new hell, and back to the memories of his grandfather.

It soothed the sting of his misery, but only just.
