Whelp since Mu isn't going to be on trial until January that means no Mikoto anytime soon booo- Though that also means no Kotoko either. So, while I procrastinate writing that exceptionally long Mikoto examination. Let’s go over Anti Beat in comparison to Harrow and the information that has been gathered on Kotoko so far.

TL;DR/Just want the Theory- Kotoko killed people she was actively involved with getting acquitted in the first place. She's no vigilante or hero. She was cleaning up a mess she more than likely was an active participant in prolonging. That's why her and Mikoto are paired both their murders are work related, vindictive, and filled with an undertone of disillusionment. This would also explain things like how she had the means and experience to gather information in the way she's shown to be doing in her mv.

Also, since this is buried so deep in this analysis, I'm putting it up here. This perfectly captures my feelings towards Mikoto and Kotoko and understanding of their motivations.

"That rug you stepped on had a heart, that back you climbed up on had a name, dreams, hopes and if those are the things you're going to trample on I'll drag you to floor with me."

Yes, I'm quoting myself it's eight pm and I've been writing this since eleven in the morning. On top of that I think this is the best thing I typed in this whole analysis.

So, Let's get started with that comparison.

Anti Beat: “My back gets itchy when you try to put your arms around me. Those eyes that look on me so kindly, can I gouge them out? Plucked from their sockets, please hang them for all to see. Painfully unpleasant, come and receive this punishment for loving me.”

Harrow: “I can’t forgive the evil hurting the weak. It’s unforgiveable, I won’t allow it, I sweared*.”

*These are what the English subtitles say on the video though the proper word at the end would be swore not sweared. Swore is the past tense of swear as in to promise, vow, or give an oath to do something. Which is possibly the intended connotation in this case. Since we know Kotoko was studying law because during her first trial fan interrogation she's asked What did you study in university? To which she answers, "Technically, I'm studying law. Though, I'm on a break right now because there's something else I want to do."

How she can afford this break and buying information at the same time and renting out a warehouse for her giant ass conspiracy board is beyond me though. So, she may have sworn an oath something that is commonly done here in the US but I am uncertain about this being the case in Japan.

However, The Japanese Federation of Bar Associations website states "The Attorney Act specifies the mission of attorneys as “protecting fundamental human rights and achieving social justice.” In other words, attorneys shall not only render services in the interests of their clients, but also endeavor to protect human rights and achieve social justice through their practices."

Harrow: “How heavy, is the damage to get in the way of someone’s dream? I’ll gouge you out with my fangs.”

Remember that disillusionment brought up in the TL;DR. It's very telling that Kotoko's attacks, and her song start after her blindfold falls off and she looks directly at the audience as. In this case it could be us, society overall, or both. It wouldn't be a stretch to say she holds disdain towards this world of hypocrites that promote the ideas of justice without fully committing. The same with us/Milgram holding her there even though she fully believes what she did was right because no one else was going to do it.

The justice system was fundamentally and irreparably flawed, she saw that with her own eyes. So, people too weak to protect themselves should just shut up and stop getting in her way. I mean she's just trying to save them after all. This is showcased through her handling of guilty prisoners. She wasn't trying to punish them or holding back she was trying to give them their death sentence. Cause she knows feeling remorse and being apologetic in the moment doesn't mean people won't offend again. So, why show any mercy if the guard can't forgive them but can forgive her than that's enough to tell her these people aren't worth anything.

This is something also noted in her song through lyrics like “I’ll teach you the pain you caused. It’s a tie after saying sorry? What are you hoping for? Shall we replace the poor soul, and the miserable delusion ‘I didn’t mean to offend’, ‘I won’t do it again’. How many wins in a row?”

Yet, also note that the blindfold doesn't come off all the way instead it rests firmly on her neck highlighting that now she's in control of when she puts it on or takes it off. She decides what she looks at or not if these things are worth it to her.

This is why Kotoko answers, "That's a hard one. I'm only able to answer based on my guess on what they did. But I think the one that probably resembles me the most is Futa. Though he's also the person who resembles me the least." when asked which other prisoner she believes resembles her the most. Because Futa like her has a strong since of justice but still attempts to work within and use the law when possible. He's the first to bring up his legal rights while Kotoko someone who was studying the law doesn't even bother to.

To add to this defeated since of disillusionment/deluded dichotomy we've got going there's a wolf pelt rug at Kotoko's feet. Something made from a skinned and defeated wolf. technically a shell of its former self and a decoration to be trampled over. Reawakened solely through her indignant rage. It's also important to note that the first thing that Kotoko looks at in her mv is that pelt rug.

It seems for some reason or another something stopped Kotoko from pursuing lawfully like she intended to. That or the position she sought turned out to be nothing like she anticipated or wanted. More than likely the latter given that Mikoto's voice line before the first trial is "My life it wasn't supposed to be this way." in contrast to hers which is "This feels so good." Her second voice line is something along the lines of the weak should just stay quiet and let me protect them.

So, chances are she likes what she's doing now far more in comparison to what she used to be doing. This could also explain why she didn't get the police involved when she saw the girl getting kidnapped and instead left to change clothes just to come back an unspecified amount of time later. Yes, this is something she clearly does within her mv. Yes, I wonder how she got voted innocent in the first round too. Honestly, even if I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt on this it's expressly shown through her mv this is what she does.

She sees the girl get abducted in a completely different set of clothes during a cloudy day then comes back later in her beating outfit and lays into the guy. The passage of time is further illustrated by the fact it's shown to be raining when she's giving us a very clear reenactment of how I assume Mikoto was folding Es and how she would if she wasn't physically incapable of doing so.

Yet, the scene in the mv can really come off as though she just went, “Hm this child is in immediate danger... Oh, no I can’t save her in my civilian clothes! I must go change. Hopefully during the commute to change out of my shorts jacket and hat into my hoody workpants and mask nothing happens to this innocent clearly in a time sensitive situation child. I see no reason to confront this person now, call the authorities, or even literally just go oh my gosh what are you doing is this man related to you young girl in order to throw him off enough that the girl can possibly just run away. Yes, this is the best course of action.”

Speaking of her "wait for it" mentality- Yeah, I bet you thought I just brought up Mikoto because I have a problem and you'd be right but no this time there was a purpose. It was to show that this isn't the only instance in which this aspect of her character has been highlighted. She watches Mikoto kick Es around like a ragdoll to gauge how strong he is and probably plan out the best way to combat him. It's also highlighted in one of the minigrams where Kazui is playing that word game and seemingly getting bullied. She tells the wolf to wait because she doesn't know if it's necessary for her to intervene just yet.

Yet, if Kotoko for some reason had inside knowledge or an understanding through personal experience that the person would not be held accountable even if the authorities were called then that would at least explain her reluctance to do that. Even making her appear more favorable to her detractors while still making it a bit more difficult to fully support her overall.

Anti-Beat: “This rice tastes terrible having just kissed you. The atmosphere is terrible when you are nearby. Thinking about ‘I love you��� reminds me of that nauseous feeling. Just being near you turns me into a different person. Yeah, I tried telling you this so many times. How is it? The taste of these sins.”

Harrow: “Becoming light-headed again, it all becomes crazy. The normalcy sought for, fading away every time death comes the soul moves forward.”

That feeling you get when something bad happens and you know it could've been stopped. That defeated look of if they just didn't give them a slap on the wrist becoming a determined what are you going to do about it now. That feeling of pushing back after being pushed down in a well-planned act of retaliation.

Just going- That rug you stepped on had a heart, that back you climbed up on had a name, dreams, hopes and if those are the things you're going to trample on I'll drag you to floor with me.

Mikoto and Kotoko are truly on that good revenge shit that just makes my blood boil thinking about it.

Just that look of how could a system I believed in continue to let this happen. Then people go she's just a girlboss innocent without thinking about it anymore than that. Come on now...

Anti Beat: “I want to lose that ‘borrowed’ expression of mine already. It’s gradually reaching its limit, this world where you exist. What part of me do you like? If you tell me, I’ll do anything for you. If I’m told ‘I love all of you every single part’, I’ll just be filled with hate.”

Harrow: “Newly born. It’s ok to dislike, right? Losing it, losing it, losing it. What should I hope for? Goodnight. Laugh and I can get to like myself.”

If you consider that borrowed expression as it could pertain to a borrowed sense of justice or beliefs instilled into a person through society or the environment, they were raised within. This scene in Harrow could be interpreted as Kotoko shedding off society's understanding of justice and creating one that's uniquely her own.

Anti Beat: “I absolutely detest the ‘me’ which loves you. Listen to this selfishness of mine.” “Hey, hey every time you smile these heartbeats of mine double in speed. All that you’ve done for me, all that you’ve given me, it just, it just… Hey, hey where the heck is that ‘hole’ of yours I was searching for. All that you’ve done for me, all that you’ve given me, it has turned me into such a mess. Everything is just such a mess.”

Kotoko was asked the question "Have you ever personally been persecuted in the past?" to which she answered "I haven't. Are you trying to say that if you haven't had those experiences, you can't hate evildoers?" Meaning there's not much room to doubt or debate that the very system that Kotoko believed in is one she in some ways recognizes directly benefited her in ways that it didn't others. Possibly even understanding that in ways it will always be there to cushion certain blows for her if she behaves in a certain way. She even states that she'd act more femininely or get a lover if the circumstances required her to do so as well.

So, it's not a stretch to say she believes anyone without those same privileges is weaker than her and should just be quiet and let her defend them from all the evildoers looking to take advantage of them. Because of this self-perceived privilege, she could in her own way be attempting to even out the playing field.

Again, when asked which prisoners she doesn't get along with she says, "Mikoto. He's loud and bothersome." Not the first complaint we've seen about Mikoto being loud his room is in between Kotoko's and Amane's. We see Amane bring a noise complaint to Es as well. What we'll be focusing on is the bothersome point.

Outside of telling Kotoko to wish him a happy birthday cause everyone else did and it would annoy him to no end if everyone, but one person said it which personally is not an off request in the slightest to me. No, understand I will die on this hill that was the most normal response to that shit. Come on Kotoko we're all stuck here it's two words stop fucking around; I wanna go to bed not lay in bed all night like why the fuck didn't she say it.

Like I'm sorry this could just be a me thing- like I did just recently get diagnosed with generalized anxiety, adhd, and autism. Especially fun experience since I just went in there because I wanted to know if I had autism. So, pardon my oncoming tangent.

A bit of me is saying it might be an anxiety thing but I've kind of always been like this even before I had these diagnoses so let's keep it trucking ma'am- You have me all the way fucked up. I'm not fucking around with the laying in bed in pitch darkness thoughts creeping up on me with a bat like hey she didn't tell you happy birthday what was up with that like mother fucker just say it! It's two fucking words! It's not even bothersome. Why were you being rude to begin with? Let's start there.

If you have an issue with me, you can say it to my face and then maybe we can take it outside but don't fuck around with me like this. That shit is just highly annoying! Don't get me wrong it's fucking fine if half of the people said it or a quarter that's respectable. Yet, all but one?! Like you saw people coming up to me all day saying happy birthday and just decided fuck me, huh? All these birthday wishes, and you couldn't just go oh that's today happy birthday?

It had to get this far, really?! Tell me what the fuck did I do to you? On the day of my fucking birth. Oh, my fucking god if I weren't a very dedicated, self-controlled pacifist I would fuck you up you are walking on a thin line of patience that people have been jump-roping with for a long time now and once it snaps, I am not liable for anything that happens to you. Like that shit was annoying and uncalled for and fuck it this is my blog I have the right to vent about that shit. Okay that feels better moving forward.

Outside of that very normal response Mikoto had, why would Kotoko dislike him? Simple because Mikoto just might remind her not of who she once was like Futa but of who she is now. Someone blindly stumbling about listening to the orders of other people instead of doing things she wants to do herself. This isn't a dig at Mikoto but an attempt at understanding Kotoko's perspective on him and why she finds him so bothersome. It's easy to be bothered by someone if they literally bring to the forefront everything you don't want to engage with or give the time of day to mentally.

This is an issue of contention not just with Mikoto and Kotoko but with Mikoto and mostly everyone here. Particularly the girls Yuno has called him out for seemingly always forcing a smile, Mahiru said he seems like a cheater, Kotoko said this shit. Futa treats him the same as he treats Haruka despite Mikoto quite literally being multiple years older than him. Like homie he'll be fine he's had a job, he's had to deal with multiple stressful situations before this, he has communication skills at a higher level than most of you guys. He can easily hold conversation with most people here including Kazui and Shidou. Some of you are just kind of rude to add to that his communication skills and behavior were so normal that Milgram couldn't even tell anything was wrong with the guy at all.

Jackalope flat out stated when this started in Es' voice drama, "Mikoto Kayano. Male. No unique features about him. So, I don't have much to comment on. He's kind of like mass-produced goods."

This is the translation on the English subbed YouTube video of it I found but it's easier to say that Jackalope was saying that Mikoto is a dime a dozen a saying that means not rare and easy to come by. Usually used in statements such as people like them are a dime a dozen to denote that someone is not unique or special and are instead easily and cheaply replaced. You know, like mass-produced goods are.

So, not a lot of people were accurately able to pin down Mikoto. However, Kotoko was. She was fairly certain Mikoto had dissociative identity disorder before his trial started even positing the idea to Es. Yet, despite being aware of this circumstance just kind of goes I still don't like you. Though it could actively be because of this fact that she finds him bothersome cause she's unsure of how to handle him and his presence is notably dangerous unknown to her. Still, it isn't that difficult to believe she could also just be like I don't like you cause you make me recall stuff that annoys me.

Like Mikoto really does just seem to have the terrible misfortune of literally just mirroring people's insecurities right back at them by existing and everybody is making that his fucking fault like the issue isn't them. Like I'm sorry you're reading into his actions and mannerisms he didn't ask you to read them this is like a series of unfortunate events there was a warning you continued forward whatever happens to you now is on you. Yet, while Mikoto has that weird effect Kotoko has the exact opposite issue instead of making people see the worst in themselves she's more than happy to always see the worst in others.

Even when there's more good in them than bad. Now for me personally I don't believe that's the best way to live but I can kind of understand where she's coming from given everything that could have gone on with her. Yeah, this was long it's ten at night now this probably has spelling errors but that's it I'm going to bed. No one's probably ever gonna read this all but if someone does I meant every word of that tangent. Sure it was fueled by tiredness but that was some fucked up shit she did I'm gonna pass out now.

All I have is nightmares

Each night is the same night for Bell : dreaming about her times in Vietnam and unable to have a proper sleep because of that but maybe that night can be different of the others....that's all she wanted !

Warning : vomiting !

------------------------------------ The Vietnam's War is nothing but only bad memories coming back !

People will say that this war was useless, that it was a fucking non-sense to send mens in a country already ravaged by a civil war that started years ago and where the advantage was already in the hands of the communists but everyone who has participated in this war returned back home changed and traumatized by the events. Nothing could have tell them that they were going to experiment what is Hell on Earth....this expression was given his full meaning during that war. They were sent there because it was their duty to fight for their country and their allies, some were forced to do so and other volunteered themself because they believe into saving the Vietnamese people from the Reds.

But all the memories that were born during that war shouldn't been seen again. Talking about it was complicated for everyone......even for Bell. At that time in 1968, she was still an MI6 recruit when she was send by her superiors in the Vietnamese jungles alongside the MACV-SOG and she wasn't very aware of the true hell hiding below the trees. Everyone thought that it was a mistake to send a simple recruit in that place but no one volunteer to do the job and she was forced to do so, having learned to never disobey the orders.

After numerous missions she had with Russell Adler & Lawrence Sims from the CIA and after a event that changed her life, she was finally able to leave the country back to London, never wanting to return back at that place. She even asked Adler & Sims to never mention everything that happened in that war with her, wanting to forget that part of her life but that wasn't a promise well kept by the CIA agents. When Adler asked to be in a special team he was creating to track a soviet spy that they heard back in Vietnam, Bell knew that she shouldn't have accepted the job but it was too late to refuse. The first day, she wasn'r very happy when she learned that she will have to talk about Vietnam again and she make her disapproval heard to him but again, she was forced to revisit one of her mission in Vietnam......'Fracture Jaw'

Recalling the memories of these events were somehow easy for Bell to remember.....too easy. After that, that part of her life returned back again each night haunting her. Each time, her nights were very long to pass and difficult for her to remove all of this out of her mind. She tried to take meds to get her daily headaches out but nothing could helped her right now. She was forced to relive everything : seeing the bodies of american soldiers mutilated, some begging for help as they were missing either a foot, a hand, a arm and even a leg were the sounds of every memories she lived. She wanted to help them but her skills were too weak to do that & the worst that there were no medics around them, making their sounds painful for Bell to hear.

Each....memories....were like that !

Days passed and Bell was hiding to everyone her distress, she couldn't talk about it. To Adler and Sims ? She feared that they will worsened the situation to her. To Lazar ? She wouldn't want to share her pain with him even if he seems to become a very good friend with her. To Park ? She wouldn't want to scare her about her memories, fearing to threaten her feelings with her. No one couldn't help her and that was making the situation worse and worse. Bell was becoming a little distant with the others, getting scared each time someone was touching her.

After a long day of work, Bell was still working alone at her desk as everyone has decided to go to sleep in their own rooms. She wasn't forced to work, it was her own will. She wanted to avoid to go to sleep because of the nights she was making but it has been 2 days in a row she didn't sleep. Coffee wasn't helping her anymore to stay awake and she had to face the only choice available now : she needed to go to sleep. She leave her jacket on her chair and then decided to go to her own room, heads down. When she entered her room, she was dreading this moment as she was starting to remove her pants & shoes. For sleeping, she was just keeping her shirt on and her underwear because for a reason, it was very hot in the safehouse and especially in everyone's rooms. She started to sit on the side of the bed, looking at the wall, not sure if she wanted to do this.

"Come on, Jess, you can do this." She whispered to herself with her name, not the surname everyone gave her. That wasn't troubling for her to get called 'Bell' and she wasn't the type of person to object about that "Just try to think to something else." Her hands were going alongside her tights, trying to calm herself down and that seemed to work.

After a few minutes, she was finally ready to lay down and sleep. She removed the glasses off her head, putting them on the nightstand and was going to remove her watch but she decided to keep it around her wrist and then she lied down on the bed comfortably, putting the blanket on top of her. She grinned as her eyes closed, hoping to think about something else : it could be about works or even about Park, she just wanted to have one simple sleep here.....that was important right now for her, that's not too much to ask but hard to do.

The first hour went completely fine for Bell : thinking about everything and nothing that was not related to Vietnam. It was finally the beginning of a real good sleep for her but she shouldn't have thinked so fast about it because something changed. As she was finally completely asleep, she heard just one voice, Adler's one and that voice was too loud to not be heard.

"Bell, we have a job to do !"

And then, it was the start of her nightmare ! She could only think about Vietnam and nothing else. She saw the dead bodies again, the cries of pain of the soldiers around her, the flames consuming everything. Hell was back again and in horror, the event she started to think of was the one she never wanted to see again : the one that changed her life and that make her leave Vietnam !

Back in April 1968, Bell was stationed with Adler & Sims in the Khe Sand Valley in an US advanced base when everything turned to shit. The base was suffering multiples Viet-Congs attacks in a small amount of time, leaving the US forces no choice but to retreat to another secured position, the base was too much damaged to be used again and the attacks wasn't helping much. The extraction consisted of multiple Huey helicopters coming from time to time to get the personal to safety and Bell, Adler & Sims were supposed to leave in the first groups but Bell couldn't leave. In that very base, she had feelings since some times for a French volunteer nurse named Julie and she didn't want to left her here without her as Julie stayed with the wounded in another part of the base.

Adler & Sims had no choice but to left her with the few remaining soldiers as she wasn't going to left Julie to die here. However, their chopper was the second to last that was planned to rescue the others, causing Bell to go to the last place where she saw Julie. After finding Julie, she had to convince to leave as the last chopper was coming in soon but Julie refused wanting to stay with the others and to help them but as they were arguing, a mortar shell just hit the place the wounded were, killing all of them in a single blast as Bell was successful to grab Julie away before the shell fell in the medical station. Julie was traumatized and resigned herself to follow Bell, her hand grabbed by her to rejoin the helipad. Bell killed the Viet-Congs soldiers that was on their way before finally board the last Huey to leave this place....that was everyone thought.

This Huey was unfortunately the only chopper that will never leave the base area intact because as soon the chopper was on the air and nearly out of danger that an RPG rocket hit it and caused it to crash in the jungle. The pilots were dead, the other soldiers too, only Bell and Julie survived the crash but they didn't have any chances to escape : the Viet-Congs were already at the crash site in a matter of seconds and instead of killing them, they decided to take them prisoners and it was the beginning of the hell for both of them.

Even if she was a women, Bell was treated like the other male prisoners. There were no differences, she was tortured for days and kept prisoner in horrible conditions : flogged, cutted and burned. She was held in a camp guarded by the NVA but also, there were a small presence of soviet soldiers in that camp....and there were the ones who were doing the interrogations of the prisoners including Bell. The day everything changed, Bell was being interrogated by a soviet officer in the 'torture room' as the other prisoners quoted, tied up on a chair. She was already badly beaten by the officer : cuts on her arms, bloods on her face, marks of flog on her back.

"Miss." The officer was cleaning his hand, having some bloods on it with a towel "You could make your life easier by giving us what we want." He threw the towel away as he put his look on Bell, she wasn't looking at him and she was smiling. "So, talk !"

"You can dream, dipshit." She smirked, looking finally at him with a serious gaze. He approached her and put his feet by force on her barefeets, causing her to cry in pain.

"Stop thinking that, you americans, can be so tough !" He exclaimed, turning his feet around to make sure the pain was still in her. She calmed herself down, trying to ignore the fact that he just crushed her feets.

"I'm British, you stupid fuck." She laughed nervously "You can't make the fucking differences."

"Aaah, a british spy." He leaned to get at the same level of her head "I never thought that the British Secret Services will send someone to die in a shitty place."

"Heard yourself ?" She told him, sounding offended by what he said. "You don't care about your allies. You think that you, russians, are superiors to everyone."

"Did you really said that to me ?" He seemed very shocked "A british cunt saying that ?" He started to crush her feets again, provoking a little cry from Bell but she resisted "The British Empire though to be superior to everyone and now look at it : a Empire in the shadow of the American Imperialism." He removed his feet and leaned backward, standing up again but the only reaction of Bell right now was to laugh

"At least, we're still an empire." She looked at him, trying to struggle with the ropes around her wrists but she couldn't liberate herself. "I'm not gonna talk !"

"How arrogant." He walk to a table where he took a pistol : a Makarov and then turned around to look at her. "There's someone that will make you talk if you like it or not."

"Did you heard me ? I'm not going to tell you shit." She exclaimed, staying determined to not give up intels, she was well trained by the MI6 to not break under the torture and she wasn't going to break but if she was not going to say anything, the officer has an other idea in mind.

"Bring the French here !" He shouted loud enough to be heard by his men in the other room and sounds of noisy footsteps walking was mainly heard.

The door widely opened, there were two soviet soldiers dragging Julie on the ground.....and those bastards didn't go easy on her : her shirt were covered in her blood, two of her fingers were broken and her brown hair were all messy with blood and mud on it. She was an nurse but she received the same treatment like the others. Seeing her like that was giving Bell more anger inside of her and more determination to break free but with those ropes, it was impossible. After the soldier was fully in the room, they threw Julie just at the officer's feets.

"Julie !" Bell said as Julie hit the ground. It's been days that she didn't see her

"Jess." Julie was trying to get up but her legs were badly injured and the soldiers was making sure that she stay on the ground. "J'en peux plus."

"I'm sorry, Julie" Bell was excusing herself to not been able to save her from that situation and now she was paying the price of it. The soviet officer with this gun approached Bell and make sure she was looking him and not her.

"Each time you didn't talk, I asked my mens to beat her.....each....day." With his gun, he slowly moved it under Bell's chin who didn't flench "But I think that.....you two were close....close to be a couple and that was better for you to look at what you have done to her."

"Please, Jess, ne dis rien !" Julie was then grabbed by one of the soldiers on her knees, hurting her.

"I'm not saying anything." Bell exclaimed to Julie "Je te le promets." She finished in a perfect french accent, still threatened by the officer with his Makarov

"You better choose your words wisely." He got closer to Bell "You gave us the locations of the other americans base in the Khe Sanh Vally or....I shoot her !" Bell didn't want her to get hurt but she couldn't tell anything, she looked at Julie who was still holded by the other soldiers. She told her to no say anything and she promised her.

"Je suis désolée." She faint to the officer that she was going to talk but as he get closer, she literally spit on his face blood she was gathering inside her mouth, causing to fall on his back and to Bell to laugh nervously.

The soldiers were shocked by that and they, unintentionally, let Julie get free from them. She regrouped all of her strengh and the only thing that she could give was punchs on the face of the officer that tried his best to defend himself but the soldiers came to his help, he was giving insults in russian as Julie was grabbed again by the soldiers. He got up, without cleaning the blood he received from Bell and then....

BANG

He didn't kill anyone but he indeed shot Julie's right kneecap who cried out all of her pain....a loud cry that still can be heard by Bell, ringing in her head in the present day. The worst was not finished. As Julie was just get shot, Bell tried to frenetically get out, moving the chair a little from its spot but her moves were interrupted as the officer striked her with his Makarov, causing blood to come out of her mouth and her eyebrow to open widely.

"YOU FUCKERS !" Bell shouted over Julie's screams "I'M GOING TO KILL YOU ALL !"

The officer put this Makarov on a table and he decided to walk back to the towel he used before to clean his hands and after he removed the blood, he looked at this soldiers, still angry. He throw the now full-blooded towel at Bell.

"Get that French bitch on the burning pole and tell Vadim to get ready." He then looked back at Bell. "She's gonna watch !" At this orders, the soldiers grabbed Julie out of the room not before she could say a last thing.

"Jess, kill them for me.....promets-moi !" She said as she was forced out of the room by the soldiers.

"Je te le promets !" That was the only thing Bell could said, in a weakened voice, unable to be heard by Julie, dragged away. She was now back with that officer, looking at her with disgust and that was reciprocal.

"She's gonna die screaming your name." He scoffed at her face "And you'll watch it !"

"I'm going to fucking kill you, you psy-" She couldn't finished that a soldier that was hidden behind her put a scarf on her mouth, gagging her and then, the same soldier moved her chair to a window, overlooking the camp and especially the 'burning pole' as the officer claimed. Julie was still dragged by the same soldiers as before, Bell could see a soviet soldier, holding a flamethrower in hands....Those bastards were going to burn her lover alive and she was going to watch it, helpless

She tried her best to look away from the window but the officer prevented that to happen by forcing her to watch the scene. He was holding her jaw while the soldier holded the back of her head, making her impossible to move her head. She see them putting Julie on the pole tying her up on it as the soldier with the flamethrower was getting ready. The soldiers finished and then get away from her. Julie looked around her, hopeless, the others prisoners was looking at the whole scene and they couldn't do anything too. Everyone was helpless.

The soviet with the flamethrower armed it and then was ready to shoot, Julie could finally saw that Bell was looking at the scene. Tears in the eyes, she could only cry, she was going to die. She gave a last breath and then with all might, screamed.

"JESS !"

And then the flames consumed her alive, the soldier firing non-stop as Bell was forced to watch.....she was forced to watch her lover getting burned to death and that was too much for her to see as the officer and his mens were laughing to that. It was too much for her....and that gave her the worst nightmare she never wanted to see again. Seeing that make her wake up in horror from her bed back in the safehouse. She was exhausted, all sweating from that horrible nightmare, trying to catch her breath again. She put her hand on the heart to help herself calm down as she slowly start to breath back to normal.

She looked around her, she was in her room safe but that safety was never there for here. She understood that it was hopeless to sleep again because she know that she will have to see that nightmare again and again. She sit on the edge of the bed, her head inside her hands, lamenting herself. Because of her, Julie died by her fault. That wasn't the case but she consider herself to be the one who caused her death.

"I"m sorry, Julie." She whispered "I was so stupid." At this moment, slow tears come out of her eyes and she tried to clean them with her hands but it was too hard. "Je suis désolée." She said, repeating the words she has told her back in that place, again in a french accent.

She then looked back at her watch : 3:20 AM. She only sleep for one hour and a few minutes. These few minutes was enough to give her the worst night she had since she returned back at working with Adler. Right now, she knew that sleeping wasn't the best option in mind, the best thing to do was to go eat or drink something in the main room before returning back to her room. She got up from her bed without putting her pants back on and then grabbed her glasses to put them on. She then walked outside her room, discreetly, not wanting to wake the others.

As she walk to the main room, she could hear some people talking inside of it, she thought that everyone has gone to sleep but maybe that was Adler or someone else still awake. It was too late to return back to her room as she was already near the door leading to that room. She opened it and then was surprised to see Park, Adler and Sims awake. The three, hearing the door getting opened, looked at the door and was also surprised to see Bell, half-dressed with only a shirt and a underwear...nothing covering her legs.

"Bell, you're awake ?" Park was the first to talk of the three.

"Yeah...uhm....can't sleep." Bell scratched the back of her head, fainting a smile "Just need something to eat."

"Hey, you could have put some pants on." Sims started to laugh as Adler was only grinning a little "You're gonna make Park blush." Park nudged him a little

"Knock it off, Sims." She was embarrased at that....and she was blushing

"Don't preoccupy too much of the two, Bell." Adler spoke, holding this cigarette in hand "Just take what you need and get some rest." He ordered to her "We have a job to do !" Bell grinned a little and started to walk in the direction of the fridge but then, she froze in place. She just saw the scene again : Julie getting burned to death showed on a TV screen in front of her that was indeed turned off.

At this moment, she started to feel that she was going to pass out but that wasn't that at all. She started to have nausea and she put her hand in front of her mouth. Hearing that scream and watching that scene was going to make her puke out. She started to look around for a bin but there were no one to be seen. She started to walk to get to the front door but everything inside her was going up and she couldn't stop it. Finally, she stopped in the middle of the room, unable to move. Park was the first one to see her in that state.

"Bell, you're okay ?" She asked as she started to look at her

But then, it was too late for Bell, she couldn't resist anymore. She got on her knees, removed the hand covering her mouth and she started to puke in front of her, everything she has eaten the past day and the coffee that she drank to not sleep : everything was going out of her mouth. At seeing her puke, Park and Sims quickly reacted to get to Bell's side, getting their hands on her back as Adler moved a little, not looking worried at all.

Everyone except was covering their nose because of the smell, Bell was not okay at all and everyone could seen that she threw up not because she ate too much as Bell was not eating so much this past few days. Something was off and that wasn't normal !

"Damnit Bell, what's got into you ?" Sims asked, trying to redress Bell back up with the help of Park.

"Nightmares....." Bell tried to catch her breath and to control herself to stop puking "Vietnam....that's the reason."

"You don't need to put yourself like that." Park said, she couldn't understand the distress Bell was in

"I can't sleep well since we talked about 'Fracture Jaw'.....I didn't want to talk about it." She breathed a little "I never wanted to." She whispered as Park & Sims helped walk to a chair that was just next to them.

"Sims, get an bucket in case.." Park ordered, he nodded and walked away as Park stayed with Bell as Adler joined them too "Tell us, Bell....what's the problem ?"

"I tried to not think about Vietnam since years and everything came back in one night, things I never wanted to relive again." Bell put her head inside her hands, not looking at anyone as Sims came back with an empty bucket in emergency but everyone hoped that she will not start again.

"Come on, just for that ?" Adler said, rolling his eyes "You puke in the safehouse because you think about Vietnam ?"

"Adler !" Park called him out, irritated by his annoyance.

"I was just eighteen when the MI6 send me in Vietnam and I saw things that I shouldn't have never seen in my life." Bell let some tears coming out of her eyes, she knew that she had to open herself to them if she want to be helped. "I was eighteen !"

"I'm sorry, Bell." Park slowly moved her hand on Bell's back to reconfort her

"I can still see her die by their hands....burning to death as I watched, helpless and I heard her say my name." She could hear Julie scream her name again....and again

"Who ?" Park asked

"Julie !" Bell simply said, her voice cracking just by saying that name again to the others

"Who is Julie ?" Sims asked but as he could see Adler biting his bottom lip and then he step forward.

"Don't you remember, Sims ?" He winked at Sims "Julie was the French nurse Bell fell in love with, she's the one where Bell witnessed to die, the one who was burned and-."

"Shut up !" Bell put her hands around her ears, covering them "I don't want to hear it, please."

"And nevertheless, you're still talking about this." Adler added, crossing his arms "You really need to know what you want, Vietnam is Vietnam, end of it !" That was something Adler shouldn't have say because after that, Bell got up, facing him in a matter of seconds

"What I saw....will stay in my head for the rest of my life." She poke him with her index finger right next to his shoulder "And you're the one who gave me back all of this. Each time, I heard your voice in my nightmares ! "

"Don't touch me !" Adler removed her hand off him without any hesistation "You should thank me for that."

"I should just hate you, that's all !" It look like she was going to hit him as she was clenching her fist but finally, Park got between the two, stopping Bell in what she was thinking to do.

"Adler, that's enough, you need to stop." Park exclaimed, her voice showing that it wasn't the time for a fight here, considering Bell's state.

"Only me ?" He pointed to himself "Just fuck off, Park."

"Hey doc, chill out." Sims intervened this time getting between Park and Adler "Better for everyone to calm themselves." He wanted no fight here and he start to have some doubts about Adler himself, there's things that Adler didn't say to Sims. Adler looked down, trying to not explode.

"I need some fresh air." He said to them as he started to walk away "Sims, clean up her mess and do it quick." He then open the garage door to maybe light another cigarette, leaving them under a big incomprehension. Park was ashamed of that situation, Sims more like her and Bell wasn't going well after that.

"Bell." Park get herself in front of Bell, putting her hands on her shoulders "Go take a shower and return to your room, I'll give you something to get better."

"Okay, I'll do it." Bell gave a little grin before she could finally move by herself, not looking at what she has threw up. Park & Sims were given more questions than answers after Adler's sudden change of attitute towards Bell. Everything she said was something that the two weren't aware at all and hearing this was reawakening some memories to Sims.

"I'll talk with Adler, I want to know what's going on." Park said

"Don't worry, I'll take care of what he asked and then I'll come too." He responded "I have also questions for him."

Park started to walk out away to join Adler as Sims decided to clean up everything Bell has threw up. That wasn't pleasing him but after what he heard, he couldn't complain about this. Park was giving herself a lot of questions : Why did I agree to this ? What's going on with Bell ? And how that memory found itself in Bell's mind ? After she got out of the safehouse, she look around to find Adler, he was just at her right, smoking a cigarette and he was looking not even troubled by the events like it was normal. After she saw him, she started to face him.

"Adler, I need explanations." She started

"Don't continue, Park." He was sounding exhausted

"You better give me answers or I'm doing what she was going to do with you." She clenches her fist just in case, looking angry

"What do you want to know ?" He breathed, desasperated of the situation

"You said that you only gave her primordial memories for the mission." She crossed her arms, not throwing away her angry face "And she's having nightmares of memories that shouldn't be hers."

"I gave her a life, that's the thing." He protested "She needed to have full memories of Vietnam to have this brothers-in-arms connection with me and Sims."

"You could have gave her everything except your experience in Vietnam." She pointed inside the safehouse, meaning Bell "But you decided to fuck up her mind by giving her that troubling memory."

"In fact...." They turned around to see Sims who arrived, it was him who talked. "That memory was mine." He was right, that memory of seeing someone get burned to death was from Sims himself "Why did you do that ?" He asked to Adler

"Sims, I can explain." Adler tried to say, having troubles to say the truth to his old buddy

"So explain." Sims crossed his arms "Why did you gave her the memory where I saw Walkins get burned to death ?

"Wait." Park intervened "Who's Walkins ?"

"Park, Julie doesn't exist at all, she was invented by me. I just replaced Walkins by that Julie." Adler justified himself, smoking his cigarette and keeping a straight face.

"But why did you do this ?" Sims asked again causing Adler to put his head down

"I did this because I wanted her to be disguted by having a personal connection to anyone." He said and after hearing this, Park looked away in disgust. He just saw her as a robot. "I did this for good."

"You're just fucking sick, that's all you are, Adler." Park exclaimed, not wanting to look him in the eyes "We could have avoided her to be like that if you weren't troubled in your mind."

"Julie was based on you, Park." Adler added "I did this because I saw you getting affection on her and I had to avoid this to happens."

"I was right : you're just a monster !" Park replied to him, holding back her tears

"How could you do this, Adler ?" Sims said, shocked by what he has heard "I didn't want to hear that memory again."

"Oh my god, you're not going to start too." Adler rolled his eyes, it was two against one here but then, Park has a sudden realization : she heard Bell said that she was hearing Adler's voice at each nightmares, making her realize that Adler knew well about Bell's state.

"You knew it ! " Park spoke, half-looking at Adler "She heard your voice before each nightmare." She couldn't resist anymore and had to do what Bell was going to do : in an instant, she faced Adler again and gave him the biggest punch she ever had. After the punch, she grabbed him against the wall, he just received a bloody nose. "You told her your fucking key-phrase each night to make sure she will not sleep."

"You better release me or-" Adler started to say before another punch landed on his face, another from her. Sims didn't do a thing to help, also up against him

"Tell me !" She was holding him with all her might

"I did this because I wanted to be sure she was still under my control." He defended

"By giving her nightmares ?" She reinforced her grasp against him "Just like a fucking puppet ?"

"Don't say that I'm the only playing her around." He laughed nervously, making Park's eyes go wide "You're also in with me.....Lazar, Sims, Woods, Mason, Hudson....they're all in !"

"I didn't agree to this and you knew it well." She said

"You're playing a dangerous game, Park. You're loving her and when we all have to tell her, you'll be the one she's gonna hate the most." He was right, loving someone like Bell was too dangerous but she's willing to play that game

"She will hate all of us for what we did, I'm not the only one in that case." She took back his own words but then, she released him because she prefered to not talk with him anymore but as soon he was free that he profited that she was looking at Sims to gave her a punch in retribution, causing her to fall on her back but still conscious. He wanted to to give her more but this time, Sims intervened by grabbing Adler back, he just gave her a black eye but Park knew that if she strike back, there will be more blood. Fucking hell, she thought, passing her hand around her face to see if there weren't any blood and then back inside her hair to redress them. She got up, looking at Adler in disgust holded by Sims.

"I'm ashamed !" She sniffed "I don't want to talk to you until you bring excuses to me....and to Bell." She then walked away, not even looking at Adler "Stupid fuck !" She whispered to herself as she entered back in the safehouse, she wanted to cry too but she couldn't. Because she listened to Adler, she was only feeling guilty for everything the team has done to her and when the truth will come out, she will take the risk to take the blame on herself.

Right now, Park only wanted to go to her room and stay alone but she has promised Bell to see her and she was going to see her anyway. She didn't know what to take but she decided to take a simple glass of water for Bell. As she was making it, she saw her reflection on a mirror, Adler didn't miss his punch at all. Her left eye was completely black, she was angry but it was better to stay calm even she had now a black eye.

After having filled a glass of water, Park decided to go see Bell if she was back at her room after taking a little shower like she ordered to do. She was redoubting that moment but she has to do it. She arrived in front of Bell's room and then, she knocked as she decided to make her hair messy to hide her black eye.

"Bell, you're here ?" She asked as she knocked

"I'm....here." She could heard Bell's voice, muttering, like if she didn't want to get any company. Anyway, Park opened the door to enter the room. Bell was sit on the bed's edge, her hair were wet because of the shower she has taken but her face was still looking sad.

"I took a glass of water for you, if you want." Park closed the door behind her and then walked to face Bell "I'm sorry about Adler's attitude, he's kinda acting strangely this time."

"Like he's always been." He tried to joke but she couldn't but then, her gaze fell on Park's messy hair, she knew something was off "What happened ?"

"Nothing, Bell, don't worry." Park tried to defend herself but Bell moved her hand to removed the hair covering the black eye, Bell discoverered and was literally shocked

"Who did this ?" Bell asked, putting her hand on Park's cheek "Adler ?"

"Bell, don't be angry but...." Park left out some tears "Yes, he did it, we got a little argument but please, don't go see him." She put her hand on Bell's arm, even getting her head more comfortably inside Bell's hand, giving both women a smile

"Don't worry, I will not." Bell said with her smile "I'm too weak to do something right now." She then left out some tears too. "You know, you remind me of Julie."

"Bell, please." Park pleaded to not hear it

"She was kind like you and I loved when she talked to me in French." She sniffed a little "She was always there for me....she's the only one who ever called me Jess, not 'Bell'." She then started to cry "Part of me wished to have die that day with her." She breathed a little, rolling her eyes "Je suis désolée." She said in a perfect French accent

"Bell...." Park's voice was too weak to be heard

"I should have die with her, it's because of me she died." Bell removed her hand from Park's face, looking away

"Jess." Park used for the first time her name "Don't think about that."

"No, don't...." Bell tried to find her words as she was troubled to called like that by Park "Don't call me Jess."

"You're not just 'Bell' for me, you're Jess Blackwell." Park exclaimed "That's your name !"

"Yeah but I'm used to get called 'Bell' and...." Bell was stopped by Park who put a finger in front of her mouth

"Jess, please." Park smiled "I'm with you." She then removed her finger to hug Bell with her arms who was quite surprised by her gesture and could only put her arms around Park as well.

"Uhm...Park ?" Bell asked, not sure of what she was going to ask. "Can....Can you sleep with me ?" She thought that she was going to scare her with that but again, she was surprised when Park landed a little kiss on her right cheek "Does that mean yes ?"

"I just want you to stop having nightmares, Jess." She then withdrawed from Bell as she removed her jacket "I just want you to stop feeling bad. With me, you're gonna be okay." Bell was very surprised to have Park agreeing to sleep with her, thinking that the feelings she had with the beautiful women were reciprocal and that kiss and hug was giving her the truth and she wasn't able to keep it for herself. As she was giving space to Park on her bed as she lied down, she turned around to not face her....fearing her reaction

"Park, I....I want you to know that....I love you, okay ?" She said, not so sure in fact

"Jess....I'm loving you too, that's why I'm still here for you." Park said proudly as she lied down next to Bell and then, give a little kiss at the back on the neck "We better wait tomorrow to have a proper kiss, I think." She laughed, referring to the fact that Bell wasn't ready for it.

"Ok, I agree with you." Bell responded with the same tone as Park wrapped her arms around her.

Bell was finally able to think that she was going to have a proper sleep with Park at her side. With her, her nightmares could stop to appear in her head, maybe stopping her bad memories from Vietnam to come back again. She was smiling because she was feeling safe for the first time to sleep. Park was doing not only because she loved Bell too but she stayed with her because she feared that Adler could restart this mind games at any moment now. She couldn't let him break Bell any further. It was time for both women to finally have a good sleep but before closing her eyes, Bell decided to quote something from Julie.....something that could only make her happy

"Bonne nuit.....mon amour !"

tame your demons

the wench and the witcher

"tame your demons”

Fandom: The Witcher (2019)

Paring: Geralt of Rivia x Fem!POC Reader.

Summary: Geralt keeps pieces of himself locked away and sheathed in ice. Sooner or later, the ice does have to melt.

Warnings: Possibly hard teen - we get a little smexy towards the end of this one, but nothing graphic. We are definitely getting into some angst now, kids.

A/N: I have a lot of feelings about these two. Basically, Hozier’s quote about “trying to love a damaged person” stuck with me and I refuse to give it up. Lyrics and title for this one come from “Arsonist’s Lullaby”, which was actually one of the first Hozier songs I ever fell in love with.

When I was a man, I thought it ended When I knew love's perfect ache But my peace has always depended On all the ashes in my wake

Gods, you should be used to the cold by now. For his kindness and warmth, your Witcher is capable of it. Biting cold, harsh as freezing rain. You try to insulate yourself against it, hoping that you can somehow bear the winter of his moods when they roll through, but it never seems to get any easier. You brace against the ice-cold of his silences and the way he draws himself away from you – steel your spine, try to smile when the flint in his eyes chips away at you.

Geralt can drop the temperature of a room without so much as a word. It’s remarkable.

And it fucking hurts.

He won’t look at you as you carefully clean the blood from his split knuckles. You kneel at the edge of the tub he soaks in, focused on the task at hand and swallowing back what feel like chips of ice caught in your throat. Even with the hearth fire at your back and the slight humidity from the steaming water, you feel like you’ve been thrown in a damned snow drift. It aches down into your bones.

The hunt had gone badly. Some alderman and his cronies unwilling to pay up for services rendered – and speaking up would have meant leaving town on the end of a rope. Geralt had blown in two weeks ago with an arctic cold around him, frosted over too thick for even you to break through, and then…

And then, there were those backwater pricks from Hagge.

You’d tried to be firm, but polite at first. The Witcher was your guest, and you didn’t take kindly to anyone speaking ill of the people under your roof, but they’d turned their drunken cruelty on you without so much as a second thought. Nothing new, there. You bore the insults when they came without flinching; it was just how it worked. They were the sort of men that didn’t much like being told what to do by the likes of you. A woman – stupid tavern wench.

‘The Butcher’s Bitch’, they’d called you.

And in all the time you’ve known him, you don’t think you’ve ever seen Geralt so furious.

You’d managed to pull him away before it devolved to a full-on tavern brawl and crushed aside the hurt when the Witcher had ripped his arm from your grasp. The instigators were summarily banned from the premises; the rest of the night had drawn to a close without incident, save for the fact that you’d practically had to snarl at Geralt to let you tend to his wounds.

“You’re lucky you didn’t break a finger,” you mutter.

Silence. The cold of it sinks in deep. You bite your tongue, standing and letting go of Geralt’s hand in favor of packing your healer’s kit up once more. The bottles clack together with a little more force that necessary as you grit your teeth; under the sting of your ego, you can feel your own anger bubbling just under the surface. Gods, you want to shake him – shout him down, throttle him around his stupid, thick head.

‘Let me in’, you want to scream.

“I’ll be downstairs,” you tell him instead, tone short and hoarse. “Need to settle the accounts for the week.”

He doesn’t stop you until you try to skirt past the tub. One big, scarred hand reaches up from the water and grips at your wrist, halting you in your tracks. His palm burns on your skin.

“Do you know why they call me that?” he growls out.

“No,” you snap. “And I don’t fucking care – “

“Well, you should.”

Geralt looks at you. Finally – finally – meets your gaze and you’re shocked to see those bright eyes have lost the ice behind them. He just looks tired; tired, and angry, with something that could be sorrow hidden just underneath. The firelight dances over his wet skin, reflects off the hammered copper of the tub to give the Witcher a gilded look about him. Pale and broad, tinged with gold. You study him, taking in the fall of his damp hair around his face. He looks so much younger.

You turn your wrist in his grip, shift to lace your fingers with his, and kneel at his side again. He stares at you and nearly seems to lose his nerve, shifting his gaze to the surface of the water. “Do you know of the Curse of the Black Sun?” he mumbles.

His other hand spins lazily over the bathwater, rippling it with a soft noise against the edge of the tub. “Heard it was shit,” you tell him. “Gave a lot of men the excuse to hurt a lot of young girls.”

The Witcher’s soft mouth twitches up, just for a moment – barely a smirk. The line of his jaw goes tense, same as it does when he’s biting his tongue. “Renfri… she was one of those girls,” he says after a moment. “I met her in Blaviken.”

It feels like the bits of ice at the back of your throat have started to melt and you find you can swallow again. Geralt’s hand is warm over yours, both from his own body heat and the steaming water. He’s silent for a long stretch, the quiet broken only by the quiet whisper of the water and the occasional crackle of the logs on the fire. His gaze stays where it is, but he finally begins to speak again.

You learn about Renfri and her men. How she called them off when they were ready to hang Geralt in the woods outside Blaviken. He tells you of Stregebor, and you can hear the sneer in his voice when he mentions the sorcerer by name. How the old man told him that Renfri was a monster, something mad and deadly that needed to be put down. He tells you Renfri’s story. He tells you about the marketplace.

Renfri’s death.

The stoning.

The Butcher of Blaviken tells you his story in a low, even, almost monotone voice. He doesn’t glance at you, not once. But neither does he push you away.

“That’s where the name comes from,” he says at the last of it, and it’s so quiet you’re not sure if he’s meant to say it out loud. “And with good reason.”

You inhale slow, taking in a breath that you didn’t realize you were holding. It catches in the back of your throat. You half expect him to shrug away, but when you lean against the edge of the tub – when you grip his hand tight and press your lips against his temple – Geralt seems to relax into the contact. He smells of your soap, and oiled leather. You nuzzle softly into his damp hair.

“I’m sorry,” you whisper to him. “I’m so sorry you had to make that choice, dear heart.”

The Witcher lets out a slow breath, shoulders sinking further into the warm water surrounding him. He lets you take gentle hold of his chin, lets you turn his face until he’s meeting your eyes. You study him, carefully, taking in the sharp cheekbones and the slope of his nose. Your thumb brushes gently over the stubble at his jaw. He leans into your hand, just for a moment.

“You are not the Butcher here,” you tell him, and your tone is fiercely gentle. “You were never the Butcher here, not to me. You are just Geralt – my Geralt.”

Pretty gold eyes flash back at you. There’s a curiosity behind them, something sharp that makes your stomach drop towards your knees because you realize the implication of what you’ve just told him. Shit – shit. Your face goes warm. You bite your lip, but don’t drop the Witcher’s gaze, and you see his soft lips tilt up at one corner. “Yours, hm?” he mumbles.

Your face feels too hot, but you nod regardless. “Aye.”

He stares. Studious, intense, and the heat in your face flushes downward, prickles over your skin until you feel sweat begin to bead at the back of your neck. You duck your head. The Witcher lets you break the spell, lets you escape and stand to grab the large bath sheet hanging by the hearth. You hear water slosh when he stands and steps out of the bath; you feel oddly shy when you hand him the warmed fabric, chewing at your bottom lip as Geralt rubs the water from his pale skin. Shadow and firelight play over the cut of his torso – you watch a bead of water slick its way down the side of his thick neck before it catches on the dip of his collarbone.

All the while, he watches you. You try not to fidget and fail. Gods, you can’t stand it when he looks at you like that – it’s curious heat and shameless, open desire. It makes you feel like you’ve laced your bodice too tight and you clear your very dry throat.

“Are you hungry?” you ask weakly.

The Witcher shakes his head. He stalks towards you – for that’s the only way to describe the movement – dropping the bath sheet as he closes the distance, all pale, naked skin and solid muscle. You can feel the beat of your pulse in your throat when he crowds close and he cups your face in his scarred hands before slanting his mouth over yours. The kiss is deep, but unhurried. Geralt licks your gasp out from behind your teeth, growling in return when your hands grip the solid plane of his back. He kisses you until you feel dizzy, until your heart thunders hard against your ribs and your legs go weak.

“Are you mine, then?” the Witcher growls, low and ominous as summer thunder. He keeps one hand at your jaw; the other trails sweetly down your neck. His fingertips skate over the smooth, polished wolf’s tooth of your necklace. He tugs the laces at the top of your bodice.

“Hm? Does that make you mine, sweet girl?”

The lacing whispers free of its grommets and though the tension on your bodice goes slack, you still find it difficult to catch your breath. You can barely remember how to fucking nod, but you do it. “Yes,” you whisper.

Geralt kisses you again. The heat of it scorches.

Carpet Cleaning Companies

The old saying, “You get what you pay for” � definitely applies to carpet cleaning companies. Usually, the company with the lowest price will do so just to get inside your home and then will jack up your price with additional costs.

Carpet Cleaning Service

Be wary of any carpet cleaning service that charges you per room for their services. Every room is not the same size, so it is not logical for them to offer this type of pricing. The only time this is acceptable is if it is offered at this rate as a promotion.

When you are looking for a carpet cleaning service, get names of clients who had used their service. Getting reviews from these clients will give you an idea of the service quality of this company.

Ensure that the carpet cleaning service comes with a satisfaction guarantee in case the job is not done to your satisfaction the first time.

Upholstery Cleaning

You may think that carpet cleaning businesses only work on carpets, but you’ll find that they have other services too. For example, some companies will also treat draperies and upholstery. It never hurts to ask! You may even find a company that is currently running a carpet/upholstery cleaning promotion.

Ask about any additional services that are offered by prospective carpet cleaning companies. Most will offer upholstery cleaning for an additional charge. Some companies will also include services such as cleaning your porch, patio and grout. This will save you from hiring multiple companies to provide you with these services.

Professional Carpet Cleaning

If your carpets are looking really worn down, it might be time to call in a professional carpet cleaning company. With so many choices it can be hard to know which company is best. Asking friends and family members for referrals is usually a great way to find a company you can be happy with.

Dry treatments, wet treatments, steam cleaning and a variety of others are available. Some require significant drying time or could require that you leave the home. Choose the one that works best for you. A good carpet cleaning company with over 5-star reviews is St louis Carpet Service at 314-266-6877

There are different ways that professional carpet cleaning companies will clean the carpets in your home. Try to choose one that works well for you. If you choose a company that uses a “wet” � method, keep in mind that there may be significant drying time before you can use the area again.

Rm9.... was an episode I really liked. I know a lot of people didn’t like it because of the lack of dialogue, but I liked the fact that they don’t NEED to speak to be out and about. It was different, but it was good. Them out on a date was so adorable. Her laughing at his blobfish meal and taking a picture of it... God, I love flirty and fun Scully so much. She’s just so adorbs. 

Here we go...

Chapter Thirty Seven 

All a Buzz

After the catastrophe in Rm9.... Scully and Mulder take care of things at the house before heading to breakfast. Discussions are had, temporary decisions are made, and things begin to move forward. 

February 2018

The water was warm as Scully washed her hands in the diner bathroom. She looked in the mirror and smiled at her reflection. This night had been … well, to say insane was an understatement. A car ride from hell, a possessed room vacuum, her bedroom exploding, being chased by drones, and being shot at by printed 3-D bullets.

All because of a tip, or lack of one, she thought, shaking her head as she dried her hands and left the bathroom. Mulder was still sitting at the bar, looking at his phone when she returned. As she walked up, he turned to her with a smile, standing as he slipped his phone in his back pocket and drank down the last bit of his coffee.

“You ready?” he asked, and she nodded her head. Heading out of the diner, he held the door open for her as they walked to his car. She was tired, but oddly incredibly happy and unable to stop smiling, even after all that had happened.

Late last night, after they walked out of that warehouse, they trudged back to her place to inspect the damage the explosion caused. Not too surprisingly, no emergency services were present. The calls they tried to place before fleeing had not gone through, and the alarm system was operating with a mind of its own. None of her neighbors had appeared to be bothered enough to call it in either. More evidence that the world was slowly shrinking into its own worries and concerns.

Glass was everywhere, and they both sighed as they looked at it. Black scorch marks and areas of still smoldering smoke from the explosive ball of fire were on the carpet, walls, her bed, and dresser. There was even some damage in the bathroom, making the entire space unlivable. She was, however, thankful that the damage had at least been contained to that area versus the entire house.

Mulder looked at her, and she sighed again. Walking past the smoldering piece of metal that was once the floor vacuum, Scully walked into the kitchen and grabbed the fire extinguisher. She handed it to Mulder when she heard him behind her, and she began searching for the broom she could not find earlier.

When she finally found it on the back porch, she and Mulder worked to clean up the glass, putting it directly into one of her outdoor trash cans. The whole process took a lot longer than they had anticipated since glass had found its way into the small crevices and areas they would not normally have looked, but they eventually got it done. They even boxed the vacuum back up after they sprayed it with the fire extinguisher.

By the time they finished, the sun was coming up, making it easier for Scully to take pictures to document the damage for insurance purposes. She looked at Mulder as he stood outside, looking at the hole the shattered window left behind.

“So, what do we do about this?” he asked, opening his hands wide, gesturing to it. “Do you have any large pieces of plywood to cover this? Big pieces of plastic or anything like that?”

“Yeah, I have plywood in the garage,” she said, rolling her eyes, taking the last picture and putting her phone away.

“Well, this house is super fancy, who knows what you’ve got hidden away here,” he said stepping through the frame and back into the house. “Ooh, I’m not going to run into a Jabberwock, am I?” He grinned at her, and she rolled her eyes again.

“That’s what you might find going through the looking glass, Mulder, not a broken window pane frame,” she said, shaking her head.

“Points awarded for not insisting, incorrectly, that it’s called a Jabberwocky,” he said dryly.

“‘The Jabberwocky’ is a poem written by Lewis Carroll, Mulder, about the Jabberwock. ‘Beware the Jabberwock, my son. The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch! ’” She quoted and he stared at her in fascinated amazement.

“God, Scully,” he stated, shaking his head and stepping past her. “How do you make a children’s poem so fucking hot? Between your device you had on you earlier and this … how’s a guy supposed to not be aroused? Jesus Christ …”

She laughed as she watched him walk out of the room and out of sight. He obviously needed a minute, and she would give it to him. She heard him sighing loudly, causing her to giggle quietly. After a few minutes had passed he walked back into the bedroom and stared at her.

“So, what do we do about the window? Have you called someone?” he asked, and she nodded.

“He’ll be here by 7, so less than an hour from now,” she said as he sighed and nodded his head, looking around the room.

“When he gets  here, do you wanna go get something to eat?” he asked. “From a real restaurant with real chefs. No more of this automation bullshit. I’m starving.”

“Starving?” she teased him, and he shrugged.

“Unlike you, Scully, I wasn’t able to eat my dinner. All I’ve had since then is cold toaster pastries, and seeing as how you’ve offered no refreshments, I’m ready for some breakfast. Eggs and toast, some bacon. Mmm …” he moaned, closing his eyes.

“I have fruit in the fridge and there are some crackers in the kitchen cabinet next to the microwave. They have rosemary in them,” she offered, and he gave her a look of disgust. She rolled her eyes and smiled, shrugging her shoulders at him.

He grabbed two dining room chairs and brought them into the hallway to keep an eye on the place as they waited for the guy to arrive. She touched his shoulder as she went to the kitchen to cut up the strawberries she had in the fridge. She knew he would not refuse them if she offered them to him. Coming back a few minutes later, she handed him the bowl and sat down. Just as she suspected, he began to shovel them in his mouth.

She sat next to him and he offered her the bowl and she took one, eating it slowly. “Christ, Scully, come on …” he groaned, shaking his head. She laughed and took the next strawberry, eating it normally, his eyes cautiously turned away from her.

Twenty minutes later the guy showed up and Scully explained to him what happened. He whistled at the sight of the burnt room and shook his head, commenting that she was lucky to have gotten out unscathed. She nodded and thought how lucky she truly was, how close it was once again. They left for breakfast shortly after, another truck pulling up to help with the job at hand.

Now, finished with their meal prepared by real people, they were headed back to her place to check how things were progressing and to see what else needed doing. She still needed to call Alan and let him know what happened. Thinking about it made her sigh and hang her head. Mulder glanced over at her, and she sighed again.

“Not looking forward to explaining to Alan what happened,” she said, looking at him and he nodded.

“So, you’ll need to replace the carpet, fix the walls, replace items, check for any internal damage to that house,” he said, unlocking the doors so they could get in the car. They buckled their seat belts, and he put his hand on the back of her seat as he backed out of their parking spot. Putting both hands on the wheel, he headed toward her place. “So, you have all that to deal with, and you can’t possibly stay there of course. What’s your plan?”

She looked at him, smiling at what he was not saying. He shrugged, glancing at her before turning his eyes back to the road. “Once I know exactly what needs to be done at the house, I’ll make a decision,” she told him and he nodded.

“Well, just know that-”

“I know, Mulder,” she said covering his hand with her own. He grasped her hand and nodded again.

At the house, they found men pulling up carpet, the furniture placed outside in order to get the job done. Scully sighed as she began to go through the drawers of the dresser to see if anything was salvageable. Mulder asked where her suitcase was and went to get it for her when she said the guest room.

He came back with the suitcase and trash bags. “Just in case you need it,” he said. “I’m going to check the room some more.” She nodded, and he walked away.

Some of her clothing was fine and some had been singed through the wood. She put the clothes she would keep in the suitcase while with a heavy heart she tossed out her other things. Everything she packed would need a wash, but at least she had some clothing.

Mulder came back with a bag full of her toiletries and she smiled her thanks. “Do you have another bag? I’ll start loading up shoes,” he said and she stopped him briefly with a squeeze of his hand. He nodded and went to find the other bags in the guest room.

An hour and a half later, they had loaded up her car with items she would need. Some clothes, shoes, coats, toiletries, electronics, and other items. She called Alan and left a message to get in touch with her as soon as possible. Part of her was grateful she missed him, while the other part dreaded his return phone call.

The foreman in charge, Gary, said it would be a few weeks of work, at least, as they needed to check for major damage. Scully nodded and sighed, afraid that was going to be the answer.

“We’ll do what we can today and then board up the window. That glass has to be specially ordered,” Gary said with a sympathetic smile.

“Of course it does,” Scully sighed and then smiled slightly at him. “Thank you, Gary.” He nodded and headed back inside.

“Well, this seems fitting,” she said, putting her hands in her pockets. “Honestly, I’m surprised one of our places never blew up at some point in the past.” She laughed and he smiled.

“So many other things happened, just not that,” he nodded and put his hands in his pockets too, his eyes asking questions his mouth was not voicing.

“Mulder,” she began, but he cut her off.

“Scully,” he shook his head at her with a small smile. “It’s … you do what you want, whatever makes you most comfortable. I … it’s your decision and … the room is there if you want it, but I understand.”

She smiled and stepped closer to him, searching his face. “Thank you, Mulder,” she said quietly, her hands moving to hold his face. He leaned in and kissed her softly, his hands moving to her waist. She pulled back and sighed. “I’m going to go to a hotel. I … I think that would be best.” He stared at her and nodded, a small sad smile on his face.

Stepping back, he put his hands in his pockets again. “You want me to follow you? Help you unload the car?”

“No,” she answered. “I’ll be okay.”

He nodded and shuffled his feet around. “Well … then I should probably head home, make sure the onslaught of drones didn’t destroy the house. Maybe get some sleep,” he said with a shrug and smiled again, but she knew it was forced. She sighed, and he touched her face, his thumb stroking her cheek.

Stepping back, he smiled again and this time it almost reached his eyes. “Okay, I’ll talk to you later. Next time, I get to pick the restaurant, and maybe we can avoid this kind of fiasco.”

“Oh, this was my fault?” she asked, waving her arm toward the house, her eyebrows raised.

“You suggested the sushi place,” he responded with a shrug.

“And you didn’t tip, which set off this whole chain reaction.”

“Tip a place that gave me a disgusting smelling blobfish?!” he said taking his hands from his pockets and raising his arms in an exasperated stance. “How was I to know those goddamn robots were going to freak the fuck out?”

“And damn near kill me?” she said with a pointed look, causing him to hang his head. Lifting his head, he sighed, and she began to laugh. He shook his head, and she laughed harder.

“It’s a strange thing to laugh about, Scully,” he said and she laughed harder, the night finally catching up to her making her feel punch-drunk. “Go get some sleep.” He nodded, and she tried to sober up enough to say goodbye to him, but she failed. He waved to her as he got in his car, and she waved back.

Standing there alone, she looked around at the house again and sighed. Staying there had been fun, and she loved the comforts it afforded. Now she was going to be in a hotel for who knew how long. She easily could have gone back to the house with Mulder, stayed in the guest room again, but she knew how that would end. No chance would she be able to resist joining him in their bed this time. No chance.

She sighed as she looked at her burnt bedroom furniture sitting outside before getting in her car. The past couple of months had been wonderful, but even the amount of amazing sex they were having did not make a relationship. They were, and always would be, friends before everything else and right now, that was how it felt … kind of. Not ‘friends with benefits’ because that would never be who they were. Their attraction and desire for one another was far too strong for that. But right now … it felt like they were treading water, standing still, and waiting for something to happen.

Her phone beeped and she picked it up, finding a message from Mulder.

Hope purple is okay. Also, I thought you could do with an upgrade.

She frowned as she read it and then her cheeks flamed as the screenshot of an order he placed popped up. A new personal massager had been ordered and would be sent to the house. His house … their house. God, she hated the uncertainty she felt about it.

In no way am I trying to persuade you to change your mind, but just letting you know it will be here. Fully charged and ready for any activities you wish to use it for. ; )

Her pulse raced as she thought of the last time her old one was used, before it had been tossed away. She remembered the feel of it against her aroused flesh, the way it was dragged across her hot skin, the vibrations of it making her moan and shake, when it was placed exactly where she wanted and needed it.

“I love watching you come,” Mulder had whispered to her as he turned it up higher and she broke with a cry, clutching at his arm, spots dancing in front of her eyes.  

The scent of chlorine from their tryst in the hot tub, had invaded her senses as she came down and pulled his hand away from her, the sensations too intense. In the fumble of limbs, it must have gotten knocked from his hand and fallen under the bed. There it had remained, forgotten, as she had not been in need of it recently.

Looking at her messages again, she zoomed in more closely at the order form, mainly the timestamp on it. He ordered it when they were in the diner, while she was in the bathroom it seemed, but he said nothing until now. God, she loved him.

Shaking her head, she typed out a response, her cheeks flushed and a huge smile on her face.

Purple will be most welcome. And an upgrade with a couple new speed settings? Keep it charged up, and I’ll be sure to stop by and find out what all the BUZZ is about.

Sending it to him, she set the phone in the cup holder and put the keys in the ignition and started the car. Glancing down when she heard a beep, she grinned at the three words she saw as she put the car in drive.

Jesus Christ, Scully …

Can We Discuss A New Housing System?

Ok, so if you remember playing SSO around the launch of Jorvik City, you know we’ve been teased for a proper housing system for a while now. Some of you may still have some furniture (arguable) in your inventories and closets like myself. It’s also one of the most popular feature requests right now from players, as least in my polls. But what would an SSO housing system even look like? And how could it be blended into the existing story.

So, obviously, I have some ideas on that, and I going to try blending it into the story, because I think having a “home instance” house kinda situation could be a good way to deliver background story information (like retcons to characters and just passive character building). However, there are a lot of mechanics involved too, so I’ll strive to write about all parts of this equally. And also, this is a HUGE suggestion, but I figure I’d write it out in its fullest so I can get more feedback on the idea too.

I have, however, had some thoughts on the actual questline for this, so I’m going to dabble with writing those as well. They’ll be indented quotes to keep it clear. But I want to have the story itself lead, so I’ll start with quotes and expand after into the individual ideas as they show up. So here we go.

I imagine you’d get a general quest notification for this to start, just on your map. I’m going to put it at level 18 unlock, or after the service at Doyle’s Abbey. I think this makes a good late game initiative, and a project to work on while waiting on quests, since you do also have your current home stable as a temporary housing space.

Baroness: Player, I have a task for you of the utmost importance. 

Quest Accept

Good! I expected nothing less from you. Now, to the matter at hand. I own a small piece of land that recently has...seen less use. Have you heard of Horse Island? It’s a lovely place. Originally it had been opened to help local stables in Jorvik keep their horses active during the off-seasons when many of our campers go home.

However, when talented craftsmen John started to move to Jorvik, many stableowners hired him to update their own barns. You may have as well. While I certainly appreciate his work with my stables here, I have to admit that his arrival was effectively the closure of Horse Island.

And that’s the problem. I can’t leave the island alone as is. There are a number of structures there and I would like to reopen it as a park. Or I have another offer for you.

Quest End.

Baroness: Would you like to hear my offer, Player?

Quest Accept

My family and I owe a great deal to you. You’ve been beyond helpful here at my vineyard and with my son’s stables, you’ve been...discrete about my ex-husband, and you brought my grandson home. Some might even consider these deeds exemplary. My title as a Baroness may be more formal than my ancestors, but I can recognize a hero of Jorvik when I see one. 

It’s not an easy gift, but I would like to gift Horse Island to you. However, if you accept this gift, then there are some requirements you’ll have to meet to live there, much less your horses. Like I said, the island has been all but abandoned and will need some serious repairs before anyone can live there safely.

Quest End.

Baroness: Are you interested?

Quest Accept

Wonderful. Then the deed is yours. I have a ferry chartered for you and an associate to head to Horse Island to begin repairs. You’ll find them in New Hillcrest.

Quest End.

(Item Get: Island Deed)

Now, this doesn’t mean you’ve unlocked Horse Island as a home stable yet, but you do own it. This would unlock a first stage of the housing process, where it’s pretty much unusable outside of building it. Your current home stable would still be your home stable until it reaches “Stage Two” so to speak, but you have access to to Horse Island moving forward as a visitable and intractable map.

I’ve made up an NPC for this for fun, but they’re basically going to become your bookkeeper for the island, and the hub for updates, info boards, and quests on expanding it. Their name is Aiden (more or less a nod to Aideen and there’s good reason once we get into later stages), a fem-butch presenting young person who kinda doubles as an Isabelle for your island and a construction worker until you bring on John (if you want to). They have a Clydesdale (I like the dapple rose grey for them) named Amber.

Upon arriving in New Hillcrest:

Aiden: Oh, you must be Player. The Baroness told me you were coming. Me? I’m Aiden. I’ll be helping you get Horse Island back on its hooves.

Player 1: Nice to meet you. What do you know about Horse Island?

Player 2: Huh, you’re a little young for contractor.

Aiden: You won’t meet anyone who knows Horse Island better than me. It’s why the Baroness asked me to help. My parents used to work there, taking care of horses. Grew up on the island myself. I learned everything I know from them, plus a double major in college. If anyone can help you get this island back to a living condition, it’s me.

You ready to get going?

Quest Accept

Aiden: Good, let’s get a move on.

Quest End.

At this point, you actually reach the island. It’ll start with the original island design, a tropical/Hawaii style island (can we discuss Jorvik’s biodiversity later, actually), though this is ideally something that you’ll be able to change. If it doesn’t start with this design, I think it should be an optional biome as a reference for long term players from when Horse Island was around before.

At release of it, I’d think Horse Island should just be one island, but eventually I think adding additional smaller islands would be a good way to continue expanding the island and adding options to its development, while still keeping the theme of the overall island.

The main island has three parts: a small village kinda area with a broken down barn and buildings, three big paddocks, and a trail area. If this carries over functionality from the current home stable system, then this would be a great way to have private trail rides/races you could make, with each biome having a slightly different layout of the three main areas, but we haven’t gotten to that yet.

After you arrive, there’s a ferry point you can unlock that will rotate to South Hoof and New Hillcrest (really like the ferry system and I think it should be expanded), as well as a trailer/boat to transport back to Jorvik. On arrival, there’s not a lot you can do outside of explore, though it should be incredibly difficult since the island is incredibly damaged and hasn’t been maintained.

After arrival, Aiden will wait for you by the ferry to continue the quests.

Aiden: Aideen, the place has seen better days. Sad to see it like this. But, no time like the present. We’d better get to work. Well, Player, you’re in charge here. Want to scout out the damage?

Quest Accept

Aiden: Alright, follow me.

Aiden leads on a loop around the island to the major points. Following dialogue should be overlayed as you reach each location to keep the ride going.

Aiden: The beaches used to pretty open. There are other islands around here too. Maybe once we get things set up, I can look into some boats to visit other islands. Long ways off though.

Ah, this forest used to be so fun to ride through. I remember having friends over and building races through the woods together. Maybe we can get it cleaned up and open it again for you and your friends.

These paddocks need a lot of work. Don’t worry though. Once we can get them patched back up, they can hold, ten, twenty horses at a time. We can start small and build them out.

This place used to be filled with life. My parents and I used to live over there. Might be a good idea to get some cabins set up first. I’m fine camping until we do though. Supposing you’re fine headed back to mainland for some food.

With just you here, I don’t think we’d need a lot of shops. Same time, I’d like to see folks living here again. Maybe a few shops, open the place for tourists. That is, if you don’t mind people in your backyard.

That’s the biggest building on the island. I know it’s not mansion, but it should be a comfortable lodge once we finish with it. Nice place to hang your hat at least.

Last stop. This barn is going to need a lot of work. Come on, let’s clear out a stall for Amber and Player’s Horse.”

Quest End.

At this point, the farm opens up a lot of quests Rescue Ranch style, where you can pick up to-do’s from Aiden and then go do them like dailies. Some should be limited to make it feel like you’re making progress over a few days, but until you get to Stage Two of the island, I definitely think you should be able to grind through some smaller quests to make the island livable relatively easily.

I do also really like the idea of adding a Harvest Moon-esque gifting system for foods. I think this could be a good way to test a potential trading system while also delivering on more character development and a use for food. It’ll work on the same kind of system as Harvest Moon, where NPCs have favorite foods and hated foods, but it’ll mark in your journal as you go which is which. Giving Aiden food they like will reset daily tasks for the island as well as build your relationship with them. Eventually once the island is in a later stage, other NPCs can come visit and you can gift them foods too to get bonus dialogue and quests.

The first to-do you get is to go into the stable and clear out two stalls. Aiden will idle around the stable, but each time you interact with something in the stable, they’ll move to the next location and work on hammering walls or sweeping as you go until the to-do is done. Finishing this will also open a caring location on the island.

Aiden: That’s already better. Don’t have to sleep in the rain anymore. Now, there’s a lot to do, so let’s talk about a few of the more important projects.

Quest Accept

Well, to start we need to get some houses built. One for you, one for me. I don’t mind camping, but this is Jorvik. Weather can be all over the place. Next, we need to make a space for any other horses you want to have on the island. The barn should be our next goal. I think those are two good projects to start. Come talk to me and I’ll let you know what you can do to help.

Quest End.

This is Stage One of the island. It’s about building the most basic of necessities; your house, Aiden’s house, and the barn. I think dailies should add big chunks to the progress bars, but there should also be smaller to-dos to speed up the process if you want to grind through it. There’s already going to be a lot of money sink into this island, so Stage One to-dos are either clearing spaces, repairing walls, or gathering wood from the forest (this won’t clear it). There’s no shillings or SC required, though once you’re halfway through this stage, Aiden will let you know that they’ve gotten in touch with a suppler that you can order supplies from, much like the shop for building the bridge to the Harvest Counties, to speed up construction.

At the end of Stage One, you’ll get another quest from Aiden.

Aiden: Now this is starting to feel a little more settled. It’s definitely not the island I remember. Don’t think Horse Island fits it anymore. How about giving it a new name?

Quest Accept

Prompt: Name the island using a naming thing like club naming system. If you don’t want to name it, it’ll either stay as Horse Island or as your Player’s name’s Island (i.e. Amelie Eveningstorm’s Island).

Aiden: Hm? Island Name? Yeah, I think that’ll do. Alright Player, Island Name it is. I think it’s time you can call this place home.

Quest End.

After this, you’ll get a prompt offering for you to set your home stable at your island. Once you do, it becomes your home stable permanently and all other home stables become closed (this would be cool if the stables got a small redesign after for you, but that’s minute). This ends Stage One. The island is a functional home stable. You can go in your barn, which will reflect whatever home stable upgrades you had before hand and work like the home stable does now, though the invite a friend will temporarily disabled. On your island, Aiden will offer to upgrade your stable instead of John unless you hire him later.

So, by the end of Stage One, these are the features you have unlocked:

Caring station

New home stable

Supplies shop

Ferry to South Hoof and New Hill Crest

Trailer point

Ability to rename the island

Inn/hotel (Aiden’s house)

Your house (single room)

Barn customization

House customization

Like I said, this release would mean a lot of new features. I think at least with releasing it in stages, the first/second stages can be released, and then later stages can be released to continue expanding the island. However, no small part of those features should be customization. Stage One unlocks basic customization. We’re not to biome changing yet. Right now you can update the appearance of your barn on the outside, maybe some things on the inside, the exterior of your and Aiden’s house, and the inside of your house with basic furniture. I don’t think your house should ever be that big, maybe like three rooms total, or like start with the size of Herman’s interior, then Dr. Hayden’s interior, and then move up to a two story cabin with a big first floor and a smaller room upstairs. But we’re not there yet either, just the first basic house.

Starting Stage Two:

Aiden: Alright, we’ve got the basics all here, Player. Now we need to start on getting the rest of the island open. This is going to be a lot more work, and there are some permits that we’ll need to pick up, so you may want to pick up a day job while we’re at it. And dinner too. Ready to hear the damage?

Quest Accept

There are three big areas on the island. The village here needs to be restored. I’ll let you decide what buildings you want to put up, but I think opening a few shops and having some private classes eventually might be a good start from going in the black on running this place. Yeah, you’re going to need to pay me eventually to keep working you know. I’m kidding. I’ve got room and board. But why don’t we start with some shops here. Could get some tack sold for your horses, clothes with your name all over it, and food for the horses.

Next is the forest area. There are plenty of good trails in the area, we just need to get them opened up again. After that, I can build some jumps for you and we can set up courses to train the horses. Good idea to keep them active. I’m no professional like yourself, but I could probably lend a hand there. Or you can use the trails we make to ride with rides. Your call, after we finish.

Then there are the paddocks. We have a small one here in the village, but I’d like to have that for training. No, I want to fix up the bigger ones down the path a bit. Good place to let the horses have some time outside. Like I said, let’s start small and get all of the paddocks fixed up enough to have ten or so horses in there first, then we can talk about expanding them for more.

There are a few other odds and ends that could use some work. The beach could use some cleaning up. If you do, we can expand the docks for more tourists to come visit, or to come practice their riding here if you still want to do lessons. Need to hire someone for that. You’ll also be able to visit some of our island neighbors if you like. Might be a good change of pace, or you’ll get some inspirations.

Oh, and I have some ideas on how to expand your house. Let me know if you want to make it bigger.

Quest End.

At which point, Stage Two starts and all of these dailies and to-dos become options to start working on. Now, it should be important to say that I think the shilling limit should be removed because any projects moving forward need a “permit” to start. It’s basically a shilling sink to give more purpose to collecting them in game (still with Star Coin options, but definitely with shilling options too), though they would start low (1,000 shillings for the food stall as an example) and build up to higher prices based on the benefits. So things like the food stall and expanding the docks to make your island visitable will be relatively cheap, but things where you can make money, like from the training options and stores, will be a little more because you get a return on them. After you buy a permit, you’ll get dailies and to-dos to actually build it, ranging from a day to a week to build without buying extra supplies.

Now, let’s dive into some of these features. Shops I think should sell very basic tack and clothing, but I do think a basic icon system would be great where you can generate an icon (pick a background, foreground, and a symbol with your island name beneath it from a list of presets). Other players should be able to come to your island and buy these too, which is one of the ways you can make money back, as any part of the shillings, and even Star Coins, you make from people buying on your stores should come back to you. I think this balances out with how many players there are playing SSO, but it could always use fine-tuning to decide what that ratio is.

The island would also have some basic customization, like preset locations where you could slot in different styles of buildings, benches, plants, so on. I don’t think a full drag and drop system would work with SSO on a large scale, maybe just in your house, but I do think there should be some options you can put in places to make it feel customized, or on a basic grid system.

Aiden will train your horses (a max of five a day, randomly selected from non-maxed horses) for about a 1000 exp a day once you restore the forest area. Additionally, you’ll unlock a race that you can build. I think this should be pretty simple, with preset slots where you can put in jumps and turns along an existing course and set of pathways. The more jumps you buy, either in quantity or quality, and put in, the more exp you get from the race. Additionally, other players visiting your island can pay shillings to get that exp themselves for their horses. Another way to make money. The race would also be open for free to just go on the leaderboards, where you could optionally put in a sum of money every day for the winner for people who pay to enter.

Additionally, once you get the forest restored, Aiden will also offer to restore the paddock in town to make dressage, jumping, or western events which can be set up much the same way. You can buy extra course boards to swap out all three tracks and make them available like the cross-country tracks as well, or maybe build another paddock for it.

The horse paddocks are really just for a fan-favorite request, having open paddocks to see all your horses. There are three paddocks on the island to start, and once they’re repaired you can have ten horses in each, and then twenty once you expand them. I imagine that there could be a number of pathing loops you could set your horses on, and they’ll just walk around or stand in the paddocks on those preset tracks to make it look a little more active. It would be cool too if any horses not in your stables would be rotated into the paddocks at random every day. 

Beach repair is small and should be pretty quick. It opens up letting people visit you and you to visit other islands with another dock. That’s about it. I’m debating whether you should be able to see other people on your island if it’s a random person visiting you, but eh. Guess that’s up in the air. It may have to be mandatory because of systems.

And making the house bigger I already covered, so I’ll skip it for now.

So, by the end of Stage Two, you should have these features:

Caring station

New home stable

Supplies shop

Ferry to South Hoof and New Hill Crest

Trailer point

Ability to rename the island

Inn/hotel (Aiden’s house)

Your house (double room)

Barn customization

House customization

Village customization

Race maker

Horse food stand

Cafe

Tack shop

Clothing shop

Training paddock

Expanded docks

Horse paddocks

Horse trainer (Aiden)

It’s also at this point that some NPCs will start to come visit you and that gifting system will open up further.

Now, Stage Three:

Aiden: This place has really come back to life. Can’t believe how much it’s changed. Thanks, Player, for letting me be a part of it. Means a lot.

From here on out, the projects I got for you are just to make Island Name better. Add some ease of access for you and our guests. Let me know when you want to discuss the details.

Quest Accept.

Great! Well, we could use a vet for starters. No one’s hurt, but hate to see something happen and not be able to handle it. Also, with you working all day, it would be nice to have another hand taking care of the horses. I know Maya’s offered to help. Maybe make it more permanent than what she does now. Oh, and someone to train the horses better. I don’t mind working a few every day, but I’m not a professional. Might be able to run things faster if we had someone here.

If you don’t mind, I’d like to build a space for myself. I know it’s not my island, but I’d appreciate a space. I can’t be here running the place all the time, so a garden or something to unwind would be nice. What do you mean that’s still work?

Oh, I saw this spot on the back end of the island. Might be a good training spot for your druid business. Yeah, I know about that. Don’t worry, stays on the island.

I got another blueprint for your house too, so let me know if you want to add anything else.

Let me know when you’re ready to get started.

Quest End.

Stage Three is about building convenient functionality on the island. Most of these are straight forward. You get a vet, an upgraded version of Stable Care (either cheaper, bigger blocks of time, or you can buy with shillings, if not just permanently hire Maya), and there’s a secret area only you and people in your party can enter, more or less to be used for a training area with druid magic, supposing something like a mastery system was added, but it could also just be used to expand existing druid training. There could be some other easy additions like a notary for changing horse names, access to the Lifetime store, and a riding club point.

There was some discussion in the WOJ Discord about changing the daily care system so that instead of constantly having to care for your horses, you build bond with your horse while leveling them, and it’s permanently at max after that as a meter of how close you are instead of health. If that’s the case, I think Maya could still be there to increase bond for you, supposing you could hire a trainer separately to skip levels, maybe bond is related to caring for the horse, which Maya would handle? I dunno. This system is designed around the system as is.

The build for Aiden is just to be nice. There’s no bonus for it, it just builds an area of Aiden.

At the end of Stage Three, you’ll have:

Caring station

New home stable

Supplies shop

Ferry to South Hoof and New Hill Crest

Trailer point

Inn/hotel (Aiden’s house)

Your house (second story)

Stage Four is kinda my last full stage idea and it focused on opening the island up to future expansions easily by adding magic options. I think crafting would go hand in hand with SSO, and particularly this entire system. Further stages could be able adding functionality to that kind of system, like opening gardens to farming supplies for crafting, but for now, I’ll leave that up in the air and focus on just this last stage with what we have in game right now.

Aiden: This is turning into a real destination, isn’t it, Player? Almost magic to see how much this place has changed since we started on it. Hey, speaking of magic, I have an idea.

Quest Accept

Aiden: Listen, I know you and your friends are, uh, magical. I mean, this whole island gives you away, if you ask me, but I’ve also seen your friends around. And I know about the druids. Not going to tell or anything, but I want to help if I can with that business. Seems important.

Now, what if we brought some of that here to Island Name. Might help set us apart. I can cover up any of it that matters to our guests, like that secret space we have already, but maybe we could expand it a little for your friends. Use it to change up the island, add some more space. Up to you. Let me know if you want to get started.

Quest End.

Stage Four adds a lot of magic to the island, and it also is the ground work for future updates. It’s finally at Stage Four we get that biome changer I talked about, as well as the option to form more islands, which you can add more functions to later. I think a lot of druid things can be added at this point, like portals to the Secret Stonering and Pandoria, as well as a magic race mode to the cross-country race like what we have in the Cloud Kingdom.

It also would be cool at this point if you could have a library you could build to reference lore material we’ve collected, which would probably be pretty useful for quests moving forward.

It feels like Evergray, Avalon, or Rhiannon should step in for this stage, if not all of them for different features to help with the magic parts. Personally, and if it’s not obvious by the podcast, I really like these three characters for building the druids out as an order, and I think this would be a good way to develop some of the druids’ recovery stage, as well as our powers as the PC.

In total, the features Stage Four would end with are:

Caring station

New home stable

Supplies shop

Ferry to South Hoof and New Hill Crest

Trailer point

Ability to rename the island

Inn/hotel (Aiden’s house)

Your house (second story)

Barn customization

House customization

Village customization

Race maker

Horse food stand

Cafe

Tack shop

Clothing shop

Training paddock

Expanded docks

Horse paddocks

Horse trainer (Aiden & regular trainer)

Vet

Updated Stable Care

New area for Aiden

Secret druid space

Notary

Access to Lifetime store

Riding Club Master

Portals

Library

Biome changer

Island additions

Magic race mode

Connections to main story (optional)

And that’s...everything for now, I think? That’s a lot, but this feature would be massive and I wanted to go really in depth with it even if I couldn’t make graphics this time around like with the masteries. I think it’s still really important that SSO is combating price bloat in the game, and this might be a good way to change that up by giving shillings more of a use. Generally, I wanted to design it around the ideas of end game content for players looking for a reason to get on SSO more, and also to create more player made content to continue that idea.

So, yeah. What are y’all’s thoughts on a system like this?

Mechanical Sleeve

Nipple

Plug and Cap

Reducer

Tee

Union

Valve

Wye

Adaptor

Adaptors connect pipes that are not the same type. Because an adaptor can be male or female on one end, it can turn a pipe male or female.

If ends are non-threaded, they are left to be welded, soldered or glued to the pipe. Adaptors are used for PVC and copper piping.

Barb

A barb connects hoses to pipes. It is usually male at one end. The other has a barbed tube, which is a ridged and tapered cone.

It may also have a type of clamp to keep it secure. Barbs are made of plastic if they carry cold water and brass if they carry hot water.

Coupling

A coupling makes it easy to connect two pipes that have the same diameter and are the same type. It’s also used to repair a broken or leaking pipe. Along with a normal coupling, two other types are the compression coupling and slip coupling.

The compression fitting is connected between two pipes via rubber seals or gaskets on both sides which prevents leaking. A slip coupling includes two pipes, one of which slides out of the other pipe to a various length, to repair a specific length of damaged pipe.

Cross

A cross fitting has openings on all four of its ends and can connect four pipes. Cross fittings come with three inlets and an outlet or three outlets and an inlet.

Because they are the connecting point for four pipes, they are under more stress than other types of fittings and typically built tougher than other fittings.

Double Tapped Bushing

This is a type of nipple, but it has threading on both the inside and the outside. Because this center hole is threaded (tapped) from both top and bottom, it’s referred to as double-tapped.

A double tapped bushing is also a type of reducer, but does not have a reducer’s flexibility. A double tapped bushing is usually female.

Elbow

Not surprisingly, this sort of fitting has a bend that reminds you of the arm joint. They help the flow of water change direction. Elbows come in several degrees, including 22.5, 45, and 90 degrees.

Reducer elbow variations also exist for when the piping diameters being connected are different. Elbow fittings can be made of different materials, and most are female.

Mechanical Sleeve

This connects two pipes through the use of a screw or other device. This makes the fitting easy to install. The mechanical sleeve or coupling is usually made of rubber that is inserted inside a metal jacket (stainless steel clamp).

When the clamp is tightened, it compresses the rubber inside to make a tight seal. Because this fitting can be slightly flexed, it can accommodate small misalignments in hard to install locations.

Nipple

This is a short fitting that can be made of metals such as copper, brass or steel or chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC). Instead of connecting two pipes, a nipple connects two fittings.

If it has a continuous threading, it is a closed nipple. They are usually male and come in varying lengths.

Plug and Cap

Plugs and caps are both used to close up pipe openings during inspections and repairs. The main difference is that a plug is male while a cap is female. Most often, caps and plugs are threaded.

Plugs and caps are made of several materials, including metal, plastic or rubber and can be welded, soldered, glued, or threaded into the pipe.

Reducer

This fitting makes a flow smaller and thus reduces it. Reducers come in two types. The concentric reducer joins two pipes on the same axis, and the eccentric reducer is used to join pipes of different diameters.

The concentric reducer looks like a cone, while eccentric reducers look somewhat like bells with offset center lines. They prevent air bubbles in the pipes.

Tee

A tee has an inlet and an outlet and is shaped like the letter “T.” These fittings come in different sizes and are considered sturdier than the cross fitting.

A diverter tee is used in heating systems that use water. They come with directional markings and need to be installed correctly for the system to operate.

Union

Unions can have either male or female threads. They are similar to couplings, but the difference is unions are easy to remove making them convenient for maintenance or a planned future replacement.

A coupling, on the other hand, is more permanent and needs to be cut out. A union contains three parts: nut, male end, and female end. The nut is used to join the male and female ends.

Valve

Valves allow the flow of fluids to be adjusted. There are different types, including throttling, non-return and isolation. Non-return valves only allow the liquid to flow in one direction and are often found in drains. They’re also called check valves.

Isolation valves sequester a part of the plumbing system so that the system can be serviced or maintained. These valves are either left open or left closed all the time. However, because they may need to be used in a emergency, they should be checked now and then to see if they’re operational.

Throttling valves control the pressure and amount of a fluid. Because this stresses the mechanism, they tend to wear out faster than other valves. They are usually installed near isolation valves.

Wye

Built in the shape of the letter “Y,” this fitting is made to connect three pipes. Y fittings allow the pipes to change their elevations and to branch out into fresh water lines or drains.

Wyes are similar to tee fittings but the smoother angling reduces friction and turbulence in the water. This fitting is most commonly used to connect a vertical drainpipe to a horizontal one.

Are you looking for additional info about Fix Furnace?

How One Can Avoid High Heating Repair Expenses

You can maintain an furnace system a number of different ways. Chances are good the system will be running all day long in winter. In fact, it is usually on more than it must be because it is unable to maintain an efficient climate. When troubleshooting and optimizing the heating portion of your furnace system, there are several things to look at.

The Air Filter

This is the part you usually hear people speaking about most frequently, but so few individuals take the advice and check it. When there is a obstruction, you either run the risk of not circulating heat adequately or possibly starting a fire.When the air filter gets dirty air cannot flow through as well which means the furnace must work overtime and will also mean a likelihood of fire. When the system works overtime, it is more expensive to operate. The fire situation is obviously self-explanatory. Neither circumstance is good for your wallet or your well-being..

Test The Blower

Look at the blower blades and clean them up. If you find any build-up of dirt and dust, your fan will need to work harder to blow the air around, and the furnace will be overexerting itself. This means the system is over taxed and costing more money to run.

Check To See That The Fire Damper Works

Next, look at the fire damper to ensure it is running correctly. The fire damper explains itself so take note of this component.

Look For Holes In The Flex Duct

Air ducts can get damaged over the years. If a duct has collapsed or become blocked, the system will think that the proper temperature has been reached, which will be false. Inevitably your system will be working harder to maintain your house cool as you continue lowering the thermostat to get to cozy conditions.

Band Insulation

It is easy to miss the insulation, but is one of the most typical reason for a system out of order. Take take time to look at the insulation between the duct work and the outside to make sure it has not worked itself loose. If this happens, your equipment will not reach ideal temperatures and work too hard to attempt to accommodate.

Air Ducts Need To Be Sealed

Make be certain the ductwork is connected in all places to all sections. These detachments may cause cracks in the circulation and result in a loss of heated air in your house, since it will be escaping through the gaps.

Check For Leaks In The Return Air Inlets And The Zone Dampers

Be certain to make sure return air intakes are dirt free and in good condition or your system will be unbalanced. Examine the zone dampers to check if they are in the right position. Through the year we may change the positioning of the damper for many reasons (i.e. getting in a tight space or arranging for storage). For a properly working system, check to see that the dampers are in the best spot.

If these tasks are more than what you are comfortable with, it may be wise to appoint a local heating company licensed for furnace and gas furnaces. You will find a number of heating contractors close to you who can take care of this all quite skillfully. For optimum results you can arrange annual maintenance for furnace and your heating people will call every year to take care of it.

7 Home Heating System Types

It can be hard to let go of your old heating system and commit to a new one you hardly know. If you have an aging unit that needs replacement, however, it can be exciting to see the variety of heating technologies available as replacement options. All of these systems come in different models and sizes to accommodate your home. Consult a professional HVAC company for more information on installing or replacing a new heating system.

1. Furnace (forced air distribution system)

With a furnace (usually powered with gas), air is forced through a series of ducts. This distributes heated, conditioned air throughout the home. While furnaces can heat the air with electricity, propane, or oil, most U.S. homes utilize natural gas.

Gas furnaces are the most popular type of heating system since the forced air distribution system (ductwork) can be used by your air conditioner during the summer months.

2. Boiler (Radiator distribution system)

Boilers are another common heating system. They send hot water or steam through pipes to provide heating. While this enables you to practice zoned heating and cooling, they are also significantly more expensive to install and cost more money to run.

The reason why furnaces and boilers are known as central heating systems are because the heat is generated in a central area of the home and then distributed throughout the house.

3. Heat Pump

Heat pumps can be used to both heat and cool the home. They use refrigerant and electricity to transfer heat rather than generating it directly like a gas furnace. As a result, they are often much more efficient than other types of heating systems. Unfortunately, they work best in moderate climates where temperatures rarely dip below freezing.

4. Hybrid Heating

Hybrid heating combines the energy efficiency of a heat pump with the power of a gas furnace. Most of the time, the heat pump will operate to heat and cool your home. It is only during extreme temperatures that the furnace kicks on.

And since you aren’t just relying on one system, you will reduce significant strain on both units, thus significantly reducing the need for repairs and replacements.

5. Ductless Mini-Splits

By getting rid of the need for lots of air ducts, mini-split units allow you to create separate HVAC zones, each with a separate thermostat. This is very helpful in larger homes and add-on areas that don’t have ductwork installed.

6. Radiant Heating

Radiant heating sends hot water or electric heat through special tubes located in the floor (and sometimes in the ceiling or walls). The heat can be generated by oil, gas, propane, or electricity.

While the radiant heating distribution system can last a long time, repairs can become very expensive if a problem arises. The lifespan of radiant heat is dependent on its heat source system.

Learn more about the different types of heating systems.

In addition to the type of heating system you install, learn what else should affect your decision-making.

7. Baseboard Heaters

Usually reserved as supplemental heating or heating in an add-on, baseboard heating can be an effective and affordable choice. You have two choices when it comes to baseboard heating: electric or hydronic. Speak with your HVAC contractor for more information on baseboard heaters.

  Are you currently looking for know-how about Heating System Repair?

How to Tell if Forced Warm Air Heating Is Gas or Electric

Forced warm air heating can operate using gas or electricity. Gas-powered systems use a heat exchanger and burner to produce heat while electric-powered systems use an electric element, similar to an electric radiator. Both systems use a fan to force air through the heat exchanger or electric element, which heats up as it passes through. The hot air then travels through a series of ducts and enters rooms in your home via vents. You can determine if your forced warm air heating is gas or electric by checking the heating unit.

Step 1

Turn on your forced warm air heating system and turn up the thermostat. You need the warm air circulating so you can check if it's powered by gas or electric.

Step 2

Open the door or cupboard in your home where the heating unit for your forced warm air system is located. You can see several metal ducts that go in and out of the heating unit.

Step 3

Check the front of the heating unit to determine whether it is powered by gas or electric. A gas heat exchanger uses a burner to produce heat. There is a small window on the front of the heater where you can see a blue flame glowing. You can also hear the noise of the gas burner. Electric-powered systems don't have a glass access window or make any noise.

How To Avoid High Heating Repair Expenses

You can maintain an furnace system a number of different ways. Chances are good that the system will be running all day long during the cold months. furnace systems generally run longer than needed, due to inaccurate settings. When troubleshooting and optimizing your heating portion of your furnace system, there are various things to consider.

Replace The Air Filter

This is the part you usually hear people talking about most often, but so few people take the advice and do anything about it. When there is a obstruction, you either run the chance of not circulating heat adequately or perhaps starting a fire.When the air filter gets dirty air will not flow through as well which means the furnace must work overtime and could also mean a likelihood of fire. When the furnace works overtime, it is more expensive to run. The fire issue is self-explanatory. In each case it is not good for reassurance or your funds.

Try The Blower

Look at your blower blades and clean them up. Should there be any build-up of grime and debris, your fan will need to work overtime to blow the air around, and your heating will be overexerting itself. Therefore the system is overworking and costing more money to run.

Fire Damper Function

Next, focus on the fire damper to ensure it is running acceptably. The fire damper is self-explanatory so pay attention to this factor.

The Flex Duct

It is feasible that your ducts have become damaged throughout the years for different reasons. If a duct has flattened or become blocked, your system will believe that the proper temperature has been achieved, which will be false. Finally your equipment will be working harder to maintain your home cool as you keep on adjusting the thermostat to reach comfy conditions.

Make Sure The Insulation Is Secure

It is easy to overlook the insulation, but is probably the most common reason behind a system malfunctioning. Be sure to look at the insulation and confirm it has not become loose and caused gaps involving the ductwork and the outside. When this happens the system works more than needed while attempting to reach the best temperature.

Air Ducts Need To Be Sealed

Make sure the ductwork is hooked up everywhere to all sections. These detachments may cause spaces in the airflow and result in a loss of heated air in your home, since it will be leaking out through the spaces.

Return Air Inlets And The Zone Dampers

Ensure that return air intakes are free of the dust and dirt so air can easily flow. Check your dampers to verify that they are in the best spot. During the year we may change the position of the damper for a lot of reasons (i.e. getting into a tight space or making room for storage). Check to see that the dampers are in the right position too.

If that is a little too much to handle on your own, we propose you hire a local plumbing contractor licensed for furnace and heating repair. You will find a number of heating specialists close to you who will care for all of this quite skillfully. For the right results you could set up annual upkeep for furnace and your heating people will call every year to take care of it.

  The author is making a few good pointers on the subject of HVAC Replacement as a whole in this great article below.

How To Avoid High Heating Repair Costs

You can maintain an furnace system numerous different ways. Chances are good the system shall be running all day long during the cold months. furnace systems generally run longer than needed, due to inaccurate settings. There there are various areas in your heating section to look at when troubleshooting for performance.

The Air Filter

This subject is what gets referred to the most in chats about furnace maintenance, but is usually overlooked. If there is a obstruction, you either run the risk of not disbursing heat appropriately or possibly igniting a fire.When the air conditioner filter gets dirty air will not flow through either which suggests the unit must work harder and could also mean a likelihood of fire. If the system is not circulating heat properly, it is working overtime. You want to obviously remove any risk of fire. In each case it is not good for peace of mind or your budget.

Look At The Blower

Check the blower blades and clean them. Should there be any buildup of grime and dust, your fan will need to work harder to blow the air out, and the furnace will be overexerting itself. Therefore the system is over taxed and costing extra money to run.

Check To See That The Fire Damper Works

Be sure to check your fire damper for correct functioning. This will make sure that the risk of fire is lowered and that the system will work more effectively.

Look For Holes In The Flex Duct

Air ducts can get damaged over the years. If a duct has collapsed or become stopped up, the system will think that the proper temperature has been achieved, which will be false. When this happens the furnace works harder to do its job but will be incapable to attain the right tempurature.

Make Sure The Insulation Is Secure

Insulation is often ignored but is among the most prevalent explanations why an furnace system fails. Take take time to look at the insulation in between the duct work and the outside to make sure it has not worked itself loose.

HOW TO LOCATE YOUR FURNACE

DO YOU KNOW HOW TO LOCATE YOUR FURNACE?

Air circulation in your home

If you have central heating, the furnace (also known as an air handler) in your home will heat your air in the winter while the blower motor circulates the air throughout your home. The AC evaporator coils for your air handler remove heat and humidity in summer. After your furnace heats or cools your air, it is then supplied to the duct system and the air begins flowing through your registers.

How many air systems run in your home?

Your thermostat is what sets the temperature in your home for your comfort. The number of thermostat(s) determine how many systems work to regulate your indoor air for heating and cooling.

Improve IAQ with Duct cleaning

Air duct cleaning can help reduce allergies from dust and other pollutants. Pollen, dust, and mold spores can get trapped in your duct work, which means that it's being continuously circulated throughout the air you breathe at home.

According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), 25 to 40 percent of the energy used for heating or cooling a home is wasted. Contaminants in the heating and cooling system cause it to work harder and shorten the life of your system. Although filters are used, the heating and cooling system still gets dirty through normal use.

The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends air duct cleaning for improvement of Indoor Air Quality (IAQ). A certified duct cleaning will include cleaning of the furnace, the main trunk line [for air circulation] and all vents (including supplies and returns) each cleaned out individually.

Where is a furnace/air-handler typically located in a home?

Typically your furnace is centrally located in the home. It is usually located in an area such as a utility closet (by a cold air return), garage, attic, basement, or crawlspace; in the case of a heat-pump (a dual-system) it will be located outside of the home. When your system is run with a heat pump, it is likely a typical duct cleaning will include cleaning of evaporator coils with full system cleanings. Your furnace is usually located by other mechanical equipment such as the hot water heater, a [permanently installed] central vacuum cleaner, or a water softener, if this equipment is installed in your home.
