5) Stamp
((some sappy 5.4ish timeframe!))
Despite the cooler air outside the tent, Thancred felt more than warm enough beneath the bedroll blankets due to the very warm Miqo’te next to him. The hair wasn’t the normal black and blue that he was used to, but some of the mannerisms were quite similar–including curling up almost on top of him when they were sleeping together. In the autumn and winter this wasn’t as much of an issue as it was in the summer when the heat could become near unbearable. As it was, it was welcome to the current situation.
G’raha had accompanied him on this foray into the outskirts of Western Gridania where the woods butted up against the vast Silvertear Lake. The trip was to help teach him a bit of practical tracking, learn to identify some of the more local flora and fauna, and to just to have some time with just the two of them since Karo was away on the First. The former Exarch had acquired quite a bit of practical knowledge over the years, however much of it was specific to Norvarant and the people there.
As the walls of the tent started to lighten with the rising of the sun, Thancred was content to lay in the nest they had made together to enjoy a slower morning. He had gotten in the habit of rising early, despite having two night owls as lovers. As the birdsong got louder, he finally decided to rouse Raha, leaning down to kiss the messy head of hair laying on his shoulder. Ears flickered, brushing across his face and making him chuckle before a sleepy face turned to his, stretching in place to give a lingering kiss. Thancred was still allowing G’raha to make most of the first moves physically in their budding side of the triad relationship, just due to having quite a bit more experience. He was enjoying the difference as well, feeling it allowed them to grow closer more naturally.
The morning lassitude slowly morphed into preparing for the day and moving to the next location. Today was G’raha’s turn to find an appropriate camp site for the evening, and Thancred was curious how he would do, and what reasoning he would give. The barest of coals were still glowing faintly from their small fire the night before, and he showed Raha how to bank it completely. He asked the mage to pull the last of the heat out of the coals since he had the ability to, finally showing him how to normally stamp dirt over to ensure it stayed out if magic wasn’t an option.
Collapsing the tent and packing up, they were on the trail not much longer, deep in conversation and teaching. As they broke through the vegetation into a ledge overlooking the lake–a picturesque stream feeding into it, Thancred could feel Raha slip his hand into his, fingers entwining as they took in the sight before moving on. Squeezing the hand gently in acknowledgement and affection, they headed back into the forest, moving slowly, but closer every step.

About your mlp infection au!! I love this one so much I'm so interested!! Maybe give us a rundown of a couple of the survivors and how equestrias chances are looking? How did the ponies infected by black magic change and mutate? Can spike or other species like dragons, griffins and zebras get infected since they dont have cutiemarks? Are foals who dont have cutiemarks yet immune until they get their cutiemark? How does that play in? Im so sorry if this is too many questions, I really love this au and I think its really cool!!! Its a really well thought out idea and I think its awesome!!! :D I hope you have a nice day! ❤️
Someone being an autistic beast about my work is the highest compliment, so never apologize for that!
But, boy howdy, have we got a lot of ground to cover!
Let’s take it step by step:
1. FOALS
Foals (or those without their cutie mark), are a very complex cog in this AU. On one hand, they don’t have their cutie mark, so they can’t be infected, as there is no magic to corrupt. Great!
The bad news? Getting one’s cutie mark is often an unplanned thing, which means any foal can become susceptible to the Meanie Mark Virus at any time. There are many ways to deal with this.
One common one is to wrap the foal’s flank with compression gauze. Half a desperate idea, and half a way to forget their child’s vulnerability (or to hide when they DO get a cutie mark). Somepony suggested that it could “keep back” a cutie mark, and the rest of the populace decided to go with it.
Another way is to just try and keep the foal from anything that interests them. This works to a point, but the stress from their friends and family on the brink of death every day, and now any sliver of joy that they can find in this hellscape is strictly forbidden. This can cause a once rare, but quickly becoming more common developmental condition known as “Muted Cutie”. This causes a cutie mark to appear, but it’s based off of an outside tension, such as familial pressure, cutie conditions, and lack of input. It’s like a magical wisdom tooth — keeping the actual cutie mark from developing and causing pain and stress to the pony.
The third option is a last resort: quietly “taking care” of foals that were of cutie mark age or freshly marked.
Having a foal of a certain age can bar you from going into certain populated areas, getting ample supplies, and even contact with other ponies.
Of course, this is EXTREMELY traumatizing for the foal. Feeling like they aren’t wanted and that they aren’t allowed even the smallest of joys can make life miserable.
2. OTHER SPECIES
* Zecora’s redesign is based off of the Karo tribe, a small tribe famous for body painting and self expression. Though I have done as much research as I can, there is still room for error. If there is something inaccurate, please let me know so I can fix the redesign accordingly.
Other species may not get the Meanie Mark illness, per se, but they do have reactions to parts of the evil clones that seep into the soil or the corpses of already infected ponies.
Griffins, for example, get something similar to food poisoning, with nausea, vomiting, and unseasonal molting. This is their body attempting to purge the toxins. Their flying also becomes affected, with severe bouts of vertigo and lost sense of direction. For the average, healthy griffin, this usually only lasts a week or so. However, if a griffin is elderly, injured, or any sort of health condition, this infection could be fatal. Fortunately, since griffins are so far from the Everfree Forest and spend so little time on the ground, this sickness is very rare, especially with certain security measures set in place.
Dragons are even luckier. Their stomachs are able to digest any trace of the infection, neutralizing it before it can cause any real damage. However, there is a phenomenon that has been unearthed due to dragons. The gems found near their volcano-filled home can actually be infused with the disease. The only sign of this having occurred is a slightly darker hue and a “rotten” taste, according to the dragons. A few dragons have been enlisted to dispose of infected material, as them consuming it is the only way it can be disposed of without putting more ponies at risk. Not many are up for the task.
Zebras, on the other hoof, have quite the reaction to infected material. While they aren’t infected with the true disease, the special, magical markings and body paint can give the bacteria something to feed on. This can cause weakness, confusion, gastrointestinal distress, rashes, burns, irritability, and even aggression. Zebras often have to be quarantined from the rest of their tribe in order to keep the disease from spreading and the victim from hurting anyone or anything. Removal of paint and markings can help, and are often reapplied after recovery, with additional markings showing their bravery, strength, and health. Unfortunately, some of them do not survive.
Any other living thing, including birds, mammals, plant life, and insects all have generally poor reactions upon exposure. Common themes in symptoms include weakness, vomiting, and confusion. Plants will turn away from the sun. Dogs will whine and curl into a ball. Birds will run into things and screech. Survival depends on the age, health, size, and care plan of a creature. Among them, usually about 73% survive.
Though no other species has the guaranteed death from the disease that ponies do, it can still cause some nasty, or even deadly, side effects.
3. BLACK MAGIC
Since the Meanie Mark Illness is already a form of black magic, just more widespread and deadly, the disease has horrendous effects on those who have already succumbed to dark magic.
Though it’s a rare instance, the phenomenon has been observed. Whether the black magic or the illness comes first, it always begins and ends the same way:
First, a pony becomes much, MUCH more powerful. Instead of gradually gaining this talent through the virus, their black magic reaches a feverish pitch. The pony begins to have uncontrollable displays of magic, usually of the destructive kind. Explosions, rays, death, and evil spells emanate from them without stopping. This has caused many hasty villains to try and catch the famous Meanie Mark Illness — with this power, they think, taking over the world would be easy.
Second, the two opposing powers battling for control inside the pony begin to destroy the victim from the inside. See, the reason why ponies become a husk-like corpse and turn to dust at the end of the Meanie Mark’s cycle is because of the Tree of Harmony’s magic fighting the dark magic of the virus, which ends up destroying the pony in the process. But with the black magic far overpowering the Tree of Harmony, the pony has a different problem — their body can’t handle such raw power.
The pony’s hair begins to fall out, their veins swell, their skin begins to blacken with gangrene as less and less blood goes to extremities. The pony ends up rotting from the inside out, black sludge oozing from their mouth and eyes, magic still pouring out of them. Their cutie mark, both subdued from the virus and given immense power from the black magic, sputters and shines and pulses.
Finally, a pony will die within a few days, their corpse zombified and rotting. However, those who do survive the ordeal have poor quality of life, as their joints, brains, and some of their organs hardly work anymore. They will live either as a wandering corpse or a patient for their friends and family to take care of until their demise in the near future.
In other words, this is a quicker but much more painful death!
4. CHANCES FOR EQUESTRIA?
This disease can be spread very easily, especially among unicorns. If an infected unicorn casts a spell on another pony, they too will catch Meanie Mark. Other than that, a pony either has to come in contact with infected soil/plant life, an animal that has eaten said infected material, or a corpse. This means that, though the illness will be slow to spread at first, it will pick up speed as time goes on.
With the emphasis on foals and the amount that are being killed for mercy or safety’s sake, repopulating is going to be difficult.
As for a cure…perhaps the dragons can help, since they are the only one’s completely immune? Or maybe they could at least offer hints about how to stop this horrible disease?
All this to say — there is a chance of survival. But is Equestria quick enough to find a cure? Or at least keep the disease at bay?
BONUS - SURVIVORS (NOT COMPLETE):
1. Spike: Being a dragon has its perks. But being surrounded by ponies does not.
2. Big Mac: The pony you would want in an apocalypse. Still mourning the infection of his sisters.
3. Discord: Could he even…get sick? Isn’t he part pony? But he doesn’t have a cutie mark…
4. Rainbow Dash: Cloudsdale is on lockdown, and isn’t allowing anypony in or out. But it’s like herding winged cats.
5. Winona: Aids Big Mac. Since eating an infected piece of flesh, she avoids the infected like the plague.
6. Sweetie Belle: Was staying with Scootaloo right before Rarity got infected. Apple Bloom would have come, but she didn’t feel well…
7. Scootaloo: Her inventions are invaluable. But her lack of a quick way to escape could be the death of her one day.

“botox kumari” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
ouff jhanviiiii, you’re such a beautiful idiot. 😒😒😒
and pinkyyyyy whyyy are you bothering? awaaiii ka siyaapa mol lena. 🙄🙄🙄
can’t quite decide which should anika be more troubled at, that she almost put a baby in the washing machine, or that there’s a sudden random baby in the house in the first place. 😐😐😐
hahaha baby’s smile at three idiots getting interrogated. 😆😆😆
LMAOOOOO OM’S FACE AT GAURI’S GLARE. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
he looks guiltiest of the three. hmmmmm. 🤔🤔🤔
what right does bhavya even have to be glaring at rudra? kuch bhi. don’t equate her to the other two, plz and thnks. 😒😒😒
like even anika doesn’t look as upset as bhavya does. 😑😑😑
anika looks the least perturbed, actually. indian naari, full of samajhdaari. 😏😏😏
oh. spoke too soon. she looks a litttttle upset in the room. 😬😬😬
but like... again, wasn’t shivaay with tia 18 months ago?
ok i need some help from you guys: does anyone remember what episode or scene or context it is, where it’s mentioned how long tia and shivaay have been together? i have this figure “3 years” in my mind, but idk why. was this ever mentioned? or am i just making this up in my head? 🤔🤔🤔
gauri is a little bummed omkara didn’t save himself for marriage. 😶😶😶
“WE will handle it.”
as in you and SHE? maybe ask her if she wants to? 😕😕😕
WHY DO THEY KEEP SAYING THE BABY’S AANKHEIN ARE KANJI? THE BABY HAS BROWN EYES. LIKE... AT LEAST HIRE A KANJI EYED BABY IF THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A PLOT POINT. 😑😑😑
DO THESE EYES LOOK KANJI TO ANYONE ELSE??? 😒😒😒
bhavya’s making a lot of assumptions about shivaay and om, based on what exactly? 😒😒😒 is this how she does her cop work? no wonder she hasn’t found the locket yet.
“aapke bas ki baat nahi hai.”
snort. suddenly rudra is rearing up to prove he could totally be the dad. 😆😆😆
anika now seems totally okay with baby possibly being his. (as long as it’s not an insufferable NKK waala baby with naagini, i suppose. 😌😌😌)
lol shivaay getting possessive over the baby. man, just give her the baby already. 🙄🙄🙄
anika ko bhi kuch kuch ho raha hai seeing him with baby. 😏😏😏
man, damn our biology and hormones that make a man with a baby so fucking irresistible. i don’t fucking need this. 😫😫😫
FINALLY. DIAPER CHANGE TIME. 😑😑😑
oh that makes him instantly hand the baby over. typical. 😒😒😒
“BUNTY LADKI HAI????” 😧😧😧
fucking idiots. who the fuck wouldn’t check what gender the baby is? 😒😒😒
aw, he seems really happy that it’s a girl though? 😗😗😗
haha, allllll of them are. how cute. #beWithBeti 😚😚😚
aw, he’s not that bad a singer in his (higher pitched) nakuul voice. 😊😊😊
ok they shouldn’t have inserted the song. 😐😐😐
1. it’s not even remotely believable that he sings like kishore fucking kumar, ok??? 😒😒😒
2. ugh again last 5 min of episode on gaana sequence. ouff. ��😣😣
i really love this song though, so imma try and tolerate the michmichi. 😶😶😶
IT’S FUCKING MIDDLE OF THE FUCKING NIGHT. NOT THE TIME TO PLAY HORSEY. FUCKING PUT THE POOR BABY TO SLEEP. IDIOTS. 😫😫😫
see? this is how it COULD be, if you two stopped being such insufferable idiots. now get to sexing and make a shivika and ansh. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 chop chop! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
oh god, full fam knows about baby. oh godddddddddd. draaaaaama hoga kal. can’t tolerateeeeeeeee. don’t even wanna watch tomm’s ep. 😖😖😖😣😣😣

Wish you all the best of Sai Sai War from Sai Baba Group of Shirdi.
We give permission from Shri Shirdi Sai Ji to present a chapter of Shri Sai Sachchitra based on Baba Ji's biography to you every Sai-Var. We want to hope that this step of ours will reach Shri Sai Sachitra's message from house to house and make us feel happy and peaceful, for any kind of error, we shall be the first. Mr. Sai apologizes at the feet.
------------------------------
Many other pastimes - prevention of disease -------------------------
1. Bhaji Patil
2. Bala Tailor
3. Bapusaheb Booty
4. Alandiswamy
5. Kaka Mahajani
6. Dattopant of Harda.
The impenetrable power of Maya
Baba's words were always concise, meaningful, esoteric and obscure and equilibrium. He was always relaxed and fearless. His statement was that I am a fakir, neither I have a woman nor a house. I leave all worries, I stay in one place. Still, Maya hurts me. I have forgotten myself, but may not forget Maya, because she traps me in her cycle. This Maya of Srihari does not leave even the brahidi, but what can a fakir like me say. But those who take refuge in Hari will be freed from the illusion of their grace. Thus Baba showed the power of Maya. In Lord Shri Krishna Bhagwat, he would say to the origin that the saint is my living form and Baba also said that he is lucky, all the sins of the district have been destroyed, he is the one who leads my worship, if you are only Shirdi Sai If you remember, I will take you across from Bhavsagar. Trust these words, you will definitely benefit. There is no need for any material or ashtanga yoga for my worship. I live only in devotion. Now look further at what Sai had done to the devotees, the shelter of the deprived.
Bhimaji Patil: Satya Shirdi Sai fast -------------------------------
Bhaji Patil, a nobleman of Narayana village (Taluka Junnar, District Poona), suffered a severe disease in the thorax in 1909, which later resulted in tuberculosis. He did many types of treatment, but nothing was of benefit. Finally desperate he prayed to God, O Narayana. Oh, Lord. Help me some orphan. It is well known that when we are happy, we do not remember God, but as soon as misfortune takes place and the worst comes, then we remember God. That is why Bhimaji also called God. He got the idea that neither the supreme devotee of Shirdi Saibaba, Shri. Nanasaheb Chandorkar should be consulted in this matter and for this, he sent his position with full details to him and prayed for proper guidance. In response, Mr. Nanasaheb wrote that now there is only one solution left and that is the shelter of Shirdi Sai Baba's feet. Believing the words of Nanasaheb, he prepared to depart Shirdi. They were brought to Shirdi and taken to the Masjid to lie down. Mr. Nanasaheb and Shama were also present there this time. Baba said that this is the result of bad deeds of previous birth. For this reason, I do not want to get into this mess. Hearing this, the patient was very disappointed and said in a compassionate voice that I am completely helpless and have come to your Shri-feet with the last hope. Beg you for mercy O refuge of the oppressed. have mercy on me. Baba's heart was moved by this prayer and he said that, stay well. Do not worry. Your sorrows will end soon. No matter how sad and suffering someone is, he becomes happy as soon as he sets foot on the mosque stairs. Masjid's fakir is very kind and he will clear your disease also. All of that.
Bala Ganpat Tailor ------------------
A second devotee, whose grandfather was Ganpati Tailor, once suffered from chronic fever. They took all kinds of medicines and decoction, but there was no benefit from them. When the fever did not even decrease, he came to Shirdi and took refuge in Baba's deeds. Baba gave him a strange order to go near the Lakshmi temple and feed a black dog a little curd and rice. They could not understand how to follow this order. On reaching home, he took rice and curd and reached the Lakshmi temple, where he saw a black dog shaking tail. They put that rice and yogurt in front of the dog, which he immediately ate. How can I describe the character of this character that just by doing the above-mentioned action, the tailor's fever went on forever?
Bapusaheb Booty
----------------
Mr. Bapusaheb Booti once suffered from acidity. There were many medicines in his wardrobe, but none was being beneficial. Bapusaheb became weak due to acidity and his condition became so severe that he was unable to go to the Masjid to see Baba. Baba called him and sat in front of him and said, careful, now you will not feel diarrhea. Raising your finger and saying fur, the reversals will also stop. Baba took such a pity that the disease was completely destroyed and Bapusaheb became completely healthy. On another occasion, he also suffered from cholera. As a result, his thirst became more intense. Dr. Puppies underwent all treatment, but the condition did not improve. Finally, he again came to Baba and prayed for a cure for the treatment of Trisha. Hearing his prayers, Baba gave him a drink of boiled almonds, walnuts and pistachios in sweet milk. - told this medicine.
The second doctor or Hakim considered the medicine given by Baba to be fatal, but following the orders of Baba, this curative was reinforced and it is surprising that the disease was completely destroyed.
The owner of Alandi --------------------
Shirdi came to see Baba, a lord of Alandi. He had unbearable pain in his ear, which made it difficult for him to rest for a moment. He had also undergone surgery, yet there was no specific change in the situation. The pain was also high. He went to ask permission from Baba to return after getting confused. Seeing this, Shama prayed to Baba that Swami had more pain in his ear. Please bless them. Baba said with assurance, Allah will do good. Swamiji returned back to Poona and after a week he sent a letter to Shirdi that the pain had subsided. But swelling is still the same. To get rid of swelling, he went to Bombay for surgery. After examining the Surgery Special The surgeon said that there is no need for surgery (operation). What fools should we think of to decipher Baba's words?
Kaka Mahajani ---------------
Another devotee named Kaka Mahajani got diarrhea. Baba's service order should not be broken, so he filled a lot of water and put it in one corner of the Masjid so that he could go out soon if there was doubt. Mr. Shirdi Sai baba was well known. Nevertheless, Kaka did not inform Baba that he would soon be free from disease. Sanction had already been received from Baba to build the floor in the Masjid, but when the work started, Baba became angry and shouted excitedly, causing a stampede. As Kaka started running, Baba caught him and sat in front of him. In this mess, a man forgot a small bag of peanuts there. Baba took out a handful of peanuts and peeled them and gave them to Kaka to eat. Getting angry, peeling peanuts and feeding them to Kaka, all this work started simultaneously. Babine herself ate some peanuts from it. When the bag was empty, Baba said that I am thirsty. Go and get some water. Filled a pot of Ka # 2366, and both of them drank water from it. Then Baba said that now your diarrhea disease has disappeared. You can take care of your floor work. In a short time, the runaway people also returned. Work started again. Kaka Karo was almost gone now. Due to this, they got involved in work. Is peanut a medicine for diarrhea? Who should answer this? According to the current medical system, there is an increase in diarrhea, not salvation, from peanuts. As always, Baba's words to Shree were in the form of medicine.
Harda's Dattantant --------------------
A gentleman from Harda, whose name was Sri Dattopant, was suffering from tuberculosis for 14 years. He did not benefit from any medicine. Suddenly, Baba's fame came in his ears that only by his sight did the patients become healthy. So they too ran to Shirdi and took shelter at Baba's feet. Baba looked at them with love and blessed him and placed his boast on his head. He became healthy after receiving blessings and Udi and there was no further hull in the future.
The following three similar miracles are given in the commentary at the end of this chapter -
1. Madhavrao Deshpande was suffering from piles of disease. As per Baba's knowledge, he became sick with consuming decoction of Sonamukhi. Two years later, he again suffered the same pain. He started consuming the same decoction without consulting Baba. The result was that the disease increased. But later it was soon cured by Baba's grace.
2. Ganga Dhar, the elder brother of Kaka Mahajani, had always suffered in the stomach for some years. Hearing Baba's fame, he too came to Shirdi and started praying for the attainment of health. Baba touched his stomach and said, Allah, will do good. Soon after, their abdominal pain was eradicated and they became fully healthy.
3. Shri Nanasaheb Chandorkar also once suffered a lot in the stomach. They started yearning like fish. Dr. Did many remedies, but no results were found. Finally, he came to Baba's shelter. Baba ordered him to eat barfi with ghee. He became fully healthy with the use of this medicine. It seems from all these stories that the true medicine, which benefited many, was the effect of Baba's words spoken to Shrimukh and his grace.

The used car that came with a special option: A GPS device secretly installed by the police
Are you in the market for a used car? If so, you might not want to buy a car from a drug dealer. Or if you do, you might not want to sell drugs from the car yourself a few days later. In a new case, United States v. Wood, decided by a federal judge in Colorado last week, the court considered how the Fourth Amendment applies when the government has a warrant to install and monitor a GPS device on a car being used by one drug dealer who then sold his car to another drug dealer. The court suppressed the evidence found of the second dealer’s crimes on the ground that the government should have stopped the GPS monitoring when it was put on notice that the car might have been sold. I think the decision is problematic, and I thought I would explain why.
Here are the facts. The government obtained a search warrant to place a GPS device on a car driven by a suspected narcotics dealer known as “S.B.” The warrant allowed the government to monitor the location of the car for 60 days after the device’s installation. On June 7, officers placed the GPS device on the car and began monitoring its location. On June 28, officers watching the car noticed that it had a “for sale” sign in the window. Starting on July 3, the location and driving pattern of the car changed. Instead of being parked and driven in the area of S.B.’s house, the car began to be parked and driven on streets near a house about five miles away. On July 8, officers decided to visit the car in person and to watch it to see whether S.B. was still using it. They saw a man selling drugs from the car in a high school parking lot, and that led to the man’s arrest and prosecution on narcotics and weapons charges.
It turned out, though, that the man selling drugs on July 8 was not S.B. A few days earlier, on July 2 or July 3, S.B. had sold the car to another drug dealer named Wood. It was Wood who was monitored the last 5 or 6 days, and it was Wood who was arrested for selling drugs from the car. Wood was charged in federal court, and he moved to suppress the evidence found of his crimes on the ground that the officers approached him in the parking lot only because they were still carrying out the warrant to monitor the location of S.B.
The district court, per Judge Christine Arguello, suppressed the evidence against Wood. According to Arguello, the officers were required to stop monitoring the car as soon as they had reason to know S.B. had sold it:
In this case, the probable cause undergirding the warrant was founded exclusively in the illicit activities of S.B. On July 2, nearly halfway through the lifecycle of the warrant, S.B. relinquished the possessory interest he had in the vehicle when it was sold and, in doing so, vitiated the probable cause at the heart of the warrant. The Government does not dispute that electronic tracking continued after the sale of the vehicle. If the executing officers knew or had reason to know of the sale, their continued search was “unsupported by probable cause” and violative of the Fourth Amendment.
Arguello relied on the Supreme Court’s decision in Maryland v. Garrison. In Garrison, officers executing a warrant for what they thought was an apartment covering an entire third floor learned mid-search that the third floor was actually two different apartments. The officers were targeting McWebb’s apartment, and without realizing it also searched Garrison’s apartment. The Supreme Court commented:
If the officers had known, or should have known, that the third floor contained two apartments before they entered the living quarters on the third floor, and thus had been aware of the error in the warrant, they would have been obligated to limit their search to McWebb’s apartment. Moreover, as the officers recognized, they were required to discontinue the search of respondent’s apartment as soon as they discovered that there were two separate units on the third floor and therefore were put on notice of the risk that they might be in a unit erroneously included within the terms of the warrant.
Applying Garrison, Arguello held that the new location pattern put the officers on notice that the car had changed hands and was no longer being used by S.B. At that point, the officers had to stop monitoring. Because they continued monitoring the car after being put on notice that the car might have changed hands, the evidence had to be suppressed:
The Court recognizes that granting a motion to suppress in a case like this is an extraordinary remedy. However, it is the extraordinary duty of law enforcement officers to ensure that they pursue their important work with an appropriate regard for the foundational constitutional rights of those they police. Here, the executing officers had reason to believe that they were prosecuting a search without probable cause, and forged ahead anyway. For that reason, the Court must suppress.
I think this reasoning is problematic for a few reasons. Here’s an overview of why.
1) Before we get to the warrant issue, we need to make sure that Wood was searched. If he wasn’t searched, then he can’t get any evidence suppressed. I don’t think Wood was subject to a “search” under the trespass theory of United States v. Jones, which would focus on the installation of the device. The trespass of installing the GPS device occurred before Wood bought the car. S.B.’s property was trespassed upon, but Jones suggests that the trespass was over after the GPS device was installed. Importantly, Jones distinguished the earlier beeper case of Karo on the ground that the GPS device in Jones was installed after Jones took possession of the car. In Karo, by contrast, Karo took possession of a can of ether with a location tracking device already secretly inside it. The Supreme Court held that Karo couldn’t object to the installation of the tracking device while Jones could: “Karo accepted the container as it came to him, beeper and all, and was therefore not entitled to object to the beeper’s presence, even though it was used to monitor the container’s location.” The facts of Wood seem like the facts of Karo in that regard. Wood bought a car “as it came to him, [GPS device] and all,” so I don’t think he can claim that the installation of the GPS device during the ownership of someone else trespassed onto Wood’s property.
2) There doesn’t seem to be evidence that Wood was searched under the mosaic theory of the Jones concurrences, either, even assuming that the mosaic theory of the Fourth Amendment is viable. As I have explained, the mosaic theory posits that long-term surveillance that begins to reveal very private details about someone eventually becomes a search even if the same surveillance over the short term is not a search. But there’s no indication in the Wood case that the monitoring revealed anything particularly private about Wood. Over five or six days, the monitoring revealed that someone unknown to the government — maybe S.B., maybe someone else — was driving and parking the car in a new neighborhood. The location of the car on July 8 was then used to go see the car in person. The officers then saw someone unknown in the car. Using the doctrinal test offered by Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s mosaic concurrence in Jones, I don’t see how those very limited facts “enable[d] the Government to ascertain, more or less at will, [Wood’s] political and religious beliefs, sexual habits, and so on.”
Arguello’s opinion does include a standing analysis to determine whether Wood has standing to challenge a search of the car. I don’t think the analysis works, though. Arguello asks whether Wood had enough rights in the car to have standing to challenge a physical search of it after he bought it. I think Jones calls for a different analysis. If the alleged search is the placing of the device on the car, the issue is when the car was searched, and did Wood have standing then. If the alleged search is the ongoing monitoring, the issue is whether Wood was monitored sufficiently for him to be searched. For more, see my mosaic theory article at 342 and this 2012 blog post.
3) If you assume that Wood was searched, I’m not sure how Maryland v. Garrison applies. Under Garrison, the officers have to stop searching when they have reason to believe they’re in the wrong place. But it’s not clear to me how that applies to facts like this one. I see the language in Garrison as indicating that officers should pause the search and investigate further, which is what the officers did here. A few days after the traffic pattern changed, they went to visit the car in person to see whether S.B. was still driving it. It’s not clear to me what else they could have done. Should they have cut off all monitoring as soon as the traffic pattern changed, not visiting the car at all to see what explained the shift? That doesn’t make much sense to me.
4) Finally, I found it odd that there was no good-faith analysis in the court’s opinion. The court went straight from a ruling that Wood’s Fourth Amendment rights were violated to a ruling that the evidence should be suppressed. Given the broad scope of the good-faith exception of the exclusionary rule, it’s not clear to me why it doesn’t apply here. At the very least, the issue needed to be analyzed.

The Supreme Court held that Karo couldn’t object to the installation of the tracking device while Jones could: “Karo accepted the container as it came to him, beeper and all, and was therefore not entitled to object to the beeper’s presence, even though it was used to monitor the container’s location.” The facts of Wood seem like the facts of Karo in that regard. Wood bought a car “as it came to him, [GPS device] and all,” so I don’t think he can claim that the installation of the GPS device during the ownership of someone else trespassed onto Wood’s property.
2) There doesn’t seem to be evidence that Wood was searched under the mosaic theory of the Jones concurrences, either, even assuming that the mosaic theory of the Fourth Amendment is viable. As I have explained, the mosaic theory posits that long-term surveillance that begins to reveal very private details about someone eventually becomes a search even if the same surveillance over the short term is not a search. But there’s no indication in the Wood case that the monitoring revealed anything particularly private about Wood. Over five or six days, the monitoring revealed that someone unknown to the government — maybe S.B., maybe someone else — was driving and parking the car in a new neighborhood. The location of the car on July 8 was then used to go see the car in person. The officers then saw someone unknown in the car. Using the doctrinal test offered by Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s mosaic concurrence in Jones, I don’t see how those very limited facts “enable[d] the Government to ascertain, more or less at will, [Wood’s] political and religious beliefs, sexual habits, and so on.”
Arguello’s opinion does include a standing analysis to determine whether Wood has standing to challenge a search of the car. I don’t think the analysis works, though. Arguello asks whether Wood had enough rights in the car to have standing to challenge a physical search of it after he bought it. I think Jones calls for a different analysis. If the alleged search is the placing of the device on the car, the issue is when the car was searched, and did Wood have standing then. If the alleged search is the ongoing monitoring, the issue is whether Wood was monitored sufficiently for him to be searched. For more, see my mosaic theory article at 342 and this 2012 blog post.
3) If you assume that Wood was searched, I’m not sure how Maryland v. Garrison applies. Under Garrison, the officers have to stop searching when they have reason to believe they’re in the wrong place. But it’s not clear to me how that applies to facts like this one. I see the language in Garrison as indicating that officers should pause the search and investigate further, which is what the officers did here. A few days after the traffic pattern changed, they went to visit the car in person to see whether S.B. was still driving it. It’s not clear to me what else they could have done. Should they have cut off all monitoring as soon as the traffic pattern changed, not visiting the car at all to see what explained the shift? That doesn’t make much sense to me.
4) Finally, I found it odd that there was no good-faith analysis in the court’s opinion. The court went straight from a ruling that Wood’s Fourth Amendment rights were violated to a ruling that the evidence should be suppressed. Given the broad scope of the good-faith exception of the exclusionary rule, it’s not clear to me why it doesn’t apply here. At the very least, the issue needed to be analyzed.

24) Bar
((annnnnnnd caught back up again! This one actually came to me via some screenshots that I took a couple of weeks ago, and then weaved it around them. I'm honestly really happy with this one!! I also haven't seen anyone else in my pool of people I follow using the word in this manner, so that's really fun to me as well! ^_^ MAJOR 6.0 SPOILERS THROUGH THE HALF-WAY POINT!!))
The stone was easy to climb, deep grooves between the large blocks, weathered by the sea breeze. Karo had swapped one bow for another, this one with her viola now slung across her back as she climbed, amused at the crowd below. They were, for the most part, ignoring her. Of all the things that they could be doing, it made her laugh to herself the most. Usually when she went climbing public property, people couldn’t stop gawping, pointing at her, or sometimes even trying to get the guard to go after her.
The people of Tuliyollal were something else. There were a couple of small children watching her climb with interest, and one of the merchants kept looking up to mark how high she had gotten, but otherwise the busy market street bustled about it’s business, ignoring the strange foreign Miqo’te that had decided to climb the exterior of one of the dock storage buildings. Stretching to the overhanging edge, Karo swung with ease, hanging for a brief moment before pulling herself onto the roof. As she expected, there was an access hatch up here that she could have found her way to, but she enjoyed the quick climb.
Stepping away from the edge for a moment, she ducked out of sight, pulling her viola out from its case, and rosining the bow. Another few minutes of tuning and softly warming up her fingers, and she was back overseeing the road. Sitting with legs hanging and placing the instrument deftly under her chin, she set bow to strings and began to play.
The first few bars of music were played at a normal volume, no louder than what the instrument could do naturally. A few extra faces looked up at the new sound–finally curious. As she continued to play, Karo started to extend her bardic talents–amplifying the music carefully and gently. Those closest to her still heard it as they should–not at an ear-splitting volume–while those further away could hear as if they were there in front of her. Setting small magical markers at the outer edge of the range she wanted to reach, Karo let the music swell.
Now she had their attention as she lost herself to the music, half-closing her eyes as she swayed on the stone outcropping. She had started with an almost dance-beat, lively and cheerful–an original song she had composed while traveling. She would be beginning and ending with this melody–the one she had made with the city of Tuliyollal in mind.
Fading it out, she phased into the next–sweeping and haunting as the chill wind that visited the mountain pass. Here she borrowed from the Pelupelu merchants traveling songs, bringing imagery of a wide open sky and the paths to tread. Leading on a journey, but always home, somehow invoking the sound of wind whistling down off of Worqor Zormor. The music transitioned into a more somber melody for the Yok Huy, bringing a note of solemn duty to the motif, stone rumbling and evoking memories of glory.
Cracking open her eyes, Karo could see she had the attention of all in the markets, and more streaming in once word of mouth started to spread. Bringing a foot up, she pushed up off the ledge and back just a bit to a standing position, walking to the end corner of the building where as many could see her as possible with all the awnings out. The music had transitioned once more into a more upbeat note as she borrowed the pulse and beat from the Ihih’hana festival, a song of hope and of growth.
Giving herself over to the flow of the performance, she was glad to see the various races recognizing the little threads she had left of their cultures mixed into her song. For this was a tribute and a gift to the people who had welcomed her so kindly.
Dancing in place, twirling to the melody, it flowed as the raging falls of Kozama’uke–tying the overpowering majesty of the water with the deep brightly colored beauty that surrounded it. A Moblin work song gave structure to the wildness of the sound of water, before just as the water calmed away from the rocks, so did the music once more as she invoked the jungle of Yak T’el.
It was a stern cadence–reminiscent of a long and bitter war–one that still invoked strong memories and feelings. A hunting theme dominated for the first stanza, evoking the Xbr’aal and their prey. The chase continued until it burst into a flurry of notes before calming into a mournful hymn to those that had been lost, haunting and bittersweet as if the hymn of cenote had settled among them. The sorrow of the Mamool Ja would not be forgotten.
Even as the last lingering note echoed in the plaza, Karo had another moment to look out at those that had gathered. Easy to spot in the colorful crowd, Thancred’s coat stood out, gleaming in the evening sun. Someone had obviously alerted the palace, for at his side was Kona and Lamaty’i both watching her–Kona a pleased and proud expression on his face–Lamaty’i in complete awe, jaw hanging open.
Using the final note from the requiem, Karo slowly spun the melody faster, weaving it ito a tapestry of all the lief motifs that she had touched on. Each of the people’s familiar songs woven into the bright tapestry that was Tuliyollal. She could hear the whispers of the people below recognizing what she had done and exclaiming when “their” part came up in the song as she played, dancing in the light of the setting sun. Triumphantly, she wrapped up the song, hope on her strings and joy on her face. She hadn’t cared if no one had listened that day, for the performance was for her own joy as well–but full glad was she that so many had gathered to hear her tribute to her journey.
Bowing to the crowd as they cheered, Karo waved and smiled until most had started to disperse. Finally ducking back out of view, she tucked her viola away once more. Tomorrow she left with Erenville, headed to Xak Tural, and further inland to his home. A peaceful evening with Thancred was in order before they said farewell again, and she planned to make the most of every moment. Finding a quick pathway down, involving the large awnings over the market street and several tall stacks of boxes, Karo was soon at his side, and hand in hand they headed back to the luxurious cabin she had been gifted to stay in. As the stars started to appear, she couldn’t help but think of how lucky she had been on this adventure so far, and prayed it would stay as calm as it had been. Somehow, she figured, her luck was due to change–but that was for another day.

#25 Wish
((very sloppy and very rambling, but I think I got what I wanted to across... def needs a re-work at some point, but, it will do. 5.0 spoilers abound))
The Crystal Exarch was realizing he may have made a grave error in his decision to keep his plan from the Warrior of Light--now Darkness as well. He was pacing in his personal quarters off the ocular having returned from Holminster Switch, hood thrown back now that he was in private and getting to shed the title for at least a moment. Where had he gone wrong in the summoning? He knew that she hadn’t been pleased that the Scions had gotten pulled to the First to begin with--much less without any warning, but he had explained the situation before sending her to the beacon to make the journey herself--hadn’t he?
G’raha threw himself into the oversized armchair he had commissioned so many years ago when he was first decorating his quarters, and stared at his crystal right hand with a mixture of resignation and disgust. He had figured out pretty early after melding himself with the Tower that a lot of bending movement was now out of his realm with the patch of crystal that made its way down his right side towards his hip. It didn’t fully encase his torso, nor did it fully restrict movement, but made it difficult when he was used to sleeping like a pretzel.
He played out the past few years summonings one at a time, trying to remember the Scions reactions. Thancred had been extremely wary, but practical and had immediately left to find his place in this new to him world. Having fought the Warriors of Darkness back on the Source, the rogue turned gunbreaker wanted to find out all he could--and when that meant finding out about a certain blonde-haired girl locked up in Eulmore--well, there was only one place he was headed to.
Y’shtola and Urianger back to back however was a whole different quandary. The Miqo’te had watched her long-term friend fall before her, and even though she was technically summoned in the First a couple of weeks after Urianger, it had been in the same moment on the Source. She had been spitting mad, and after getting her bearings had left him and the Tower, not to return since. He had kept track of her of course, and attempted polite inquiries of the Night’s Blessed that she had found herself leading, but nothing had come of it.
Urianger was another story as G’raha had decided to pull him into his plot. The Elezan hadn’t given any feedback, beyond incredulous disbelief at the Exarch’s resolve. G’raha had been so very certain this was the best path. The only path available. It was, wasn't it? Standing again, he started to pace again, a changed animal starting to wonder if there was a way out. There wasn’t though--there couldn’t be this late in the plot over three hundred years in the making.
Karoiseka’s arrival only confounded him in her behavior. He had tried to prepare himself for it after their meeting between worlds had flustered him so, but he still wasn’t fully ready for seeing her there before him in the flesh once more. She had been wary, those many long years ago when they had first met--partially due to his sophomoric behavior at the time--but she had warmed quickly to him and they had spent so much time together laughing and researching. Now, even several weeks later, she still hadn’t so much as smiled his way. His heart had twisted fiercely when he had seen her delighted laugh at Fe Ul, and again when she had returned to the Crystarium, an arm draped around Alisaie’s shoulders, black and white hair mingling as she whispered something to the younger girl before they both collapsed into a fit of giggling. A similar return with Alphinaud watching her tease him and his faux outrage further spoke to the fact that she was no different. There was the hero he once knew, her mischievous smile and mannerisms both locked behind the simmering anger and indifference to him personally.
It hurt. This was what he hadn’t planned for, his lack of self-control he felt whenever she came into view. Even when she wandered just close enough to the Tower for him to sense her, he longed to reach out, wished with every onze of his being that it could be different. He had to stick to the plan though, how could he not? How had decades passed so quickly, somehow rising to the challenge of leadership that he had never wanted, trying not to get too attached. He had made that mistake back in Eorzea when he had first awakened, and he vowed not to again just to lose that he had to say goodbye to. Those around him still weaseled their way into his heart though, and he could not deny how much he cared for the people he watched over.
Karo though--his shining star and subject of his fervent research. How much had he let the tales and the books he read about her overshadow the facts that he knew about her. They had been close--close enough that he had shared his insecurities about his eye and tantalizing half-memories that spoke to him of a greater purpose and path than that he had currently walked. He had seen her unshed tears as the door had closed between them in finality, but so caught up in his purpose at last, it wasn’t until he woke that it sunk in that he had left everything and everyone he knew and loved behind. The state of the world he woke up in didn’t help, but he clung to the hope that they shared with him, bound and determined to make the Tower the beacon of hope he had promised it would become in the end. It had been scant years for her, while his decades wore heavily on him.
How much had he changed he started to wonder--and scoffed in derision of himself as a reflection of the crystal climbing up his neck and face caught in the polished crystal walls. Of course he had changed, he had been up and walking around bound to the Tower for over a century at this point--it was only logical. Yet seeing her made him want to throw the years away to go back to sparing on the shores of Silvertear Lake or puzzling out mysteries of the Labyrinth for the first time. He was an old man now, trapped in a half-semblance of his younger body, and years of leadership and research driven to a singular purpose--there could be no other way.
She made him want another way though. Would she still allow his sacrifice if she knew it was the only way? If she knew it was him? His mind circled back to the summonings as he leaned against the door. There hadn’t been a way to warn her, warn them of what he was doing, was there? He never had meant to summon any of the Scions, just her, yet, should he have tried to send word of what had happened, or even just said that they were fine? The attempted summonings took so very much out of him each time he tried that naught else was on his mind beyond greeting his new guest and attempting another time. Perhaps he should have listened more to Y’shtola and her anger.
G’raha had finally gotten his Warrior’s acceptance and willingness to help with the Lightwardens though, even if there wasn’t much of a choice in the end. Karo’s desire to help, to save those she could, ensured that she was going to go along with the plan despite any misgivings that might come to mind. Why did it sting within him so then? This was what was best. This was what he had planned. He sighed, head in his hands as he slumped to the floor.
But what if he was wrong.
