Sunset Died - Hatch/Frio

Time to…… relax *wink*.

As there were no more roads in the destroyed Sunset Valley, the inhabitants often had to make do with long walks. Unless, of course, they still had a bicycle that they could use, but by now Emma was used to walking a lot. And so Connor led her through some rough terrain, which was already covered in tall grass. There would certainly have been other ways, but this was a quicker way to reach their destination.

To get away from it all a little, some of the locals had thought about setting up a small place to meet up in the evening. A place where people could let loose a little and not have to think about how to survive the next day. There were already quite a few people there. And yet you still felt a little lost. "What's going on here, no atmosphere? Hey, Zeldaa?". Zelda also paused for a moment… That voice… "No!" / "Yes! Turn around, yeah, go on…"

After Zelda had fully turned around and caught sight of Emma, she got a big smile on her face and walked towards her. "Oh my god, I really didn't want to believe the rumors, but… you, Emma? But how…"/ "Like I say to everyone, a longer story, and I'm sure word will get around. you look great, as always, who is it this time?"/ "No one at the moment, actually, hihi. Wow, but you look even better". Everyone knew Emma with a few more pounds on her hips, but that had changed in the meantime. "hnn…shall I help you with the campfire?"/ "That would be really nice, it's great that you're back".

Emma enjoys being here. A little hustle and bustle in the evening and the mood gets better and better. She observes what is happening around her. "You've got a lot of nerve, Mrs. Landgraab! Alcohol only two days a week… That's really not fair"/ "huu, the whole life isn't fair, Candy sweetie…". The girl narrowed her eyes. "Drink less, then maybe others will get something out of it"/ "and you're underage, don't forget that!"…

Some people have to look twice. But others still recognize her at first glance. "My goodness… Xander? You've… grown old"/ "mhm, faster than I thought. That really is a surprise." He looked her up and down for a moment and smiled. "Yeah, for everyone here… I'm not the only one who's back though,". She told him calmly what had happened in the last 24 hours.

Emma has learned that there is also a functioning hot tub here. The necessary electricity was sponsored by Gobias Koffi and his fellow scientists. At the weekends, they redirected the electricity from their laboratory to the leisure area. "Oh man, that's wonderful!".

After a while, Connor joined her. "Here you are…"/ "hnhn, yeah, sorry"/ "that's okay…". She realized that he had been looking at her for longer than he probably wanted to. "You're welcome to come in…". He looked a little sheepishly to the side. "I would, I just… I don't have any swimming trunks with me…"/ "it doesn't matter… Or are you a scaredy-cat, hn?"she grinned.

Connor was glad that there were some dense bushes around him. That way, not everyone could necessarily see what he was doing. But Emma had a clear view… of his whole body. "hnhn, see, you can do that". Connor slowly climbed into the hot tub. "Oh man, I hope nobody steals my clothes…"/ "Oh nonsense, nobody wants this old stuff"/ "Old, that's right… I really need something new".

After he had slowly sat down, she had to smile. "hey, now you're disappointing me". He looked at her in disbelief "why? I got in without any clothes on. That alone goes against principles"/ "what kind of principles do you have, Connor? Hey, when was the last time you really relaxed?"/ "Well… I don't know… I'm always on the road or writing".

Emma smiled a little and then switched from her side to his. Then he looked at her briefly with one eye. "What are you up to, Emmi, huh?"/ "What am I up to, huh, Conni?". He rolled his eyes with a laugh "Hey, please don't call me Conni, that's what my mother used to call me"/ "but I'm not your mother… I'm… An old friend who would like to have a bit of fun"…

Connor looked at her sceptically. He probably knew what she meant. "Fun, huh? Emma, I…" She moved even closer to him and looked him straight in the eye. "Surely you haven't forgotten how to do that, have you?" she said quietly. "hn… No, certainly not…"/ "There you go… So what's wrong with just letting yourself go?". He had to admit to himself that she was probably right. Because he hadn't touched a woman for… half an eternity.

A short kiss, but it seemed to say more than you thought. "Is that… Noncommittal?"/ "Well… We can do it once and turn our backs on each other… Or do it again and again whenever we want…". She reached under the water between his legs. "mmh, so he'd be ready and what about you?"/ "hh…oh boy".

Emma used her return to make contacts, especially to finally be able to get rid of her sexual pressure. It remains to be seen whether Connor will continue to accept these "non-binding" services for long. Cyclone has meanwhile managed to bypass the security code of the jammer on the radio tower. This meant that the other residents of the city also had access to the Internet for a certain period of time. And he also installed a kind of fake jammer to make those in charge believe that they had already won.

EVERY SINGLE DAY there are MILLIONS of characters in their late 20s who get falsely accused of being father figures to teenagers when in reality the description of "weird older cousin" or "step-sibling that moved out before you were born" is 1000000x more apt

[maxgicalgirl]

Being a “Fun Fact !” kind of autistic is all fun and games until you get halfway through sharing an interesting tidbit and realize that it probably wasn’t appropriate to share in polite company and now you have to deal with the consequences :(

A trip down memory lane! Though the tower seems to have changed…

Celestial tower! Built during the direct aftermath of the Founding Unovan Civil War, it remains a cultural landmark in memory of those lost in the fire and storm.

Time has dulled the scars left behind by the twin dragons. Today, the tower is primarily used as a mausoleum (the preferred method of burial are urns) and, well, a tourism site. Legend says if you climb to the top of the tower and ring the bell, you can lay your ghosts to rest. But mostly? You can ring a GIANT bell.

Course, you gotta GET to that bell first.

Masterpost for more pokemon shenanigans here!

REACTION SPEED [Challenging: Failure]

Welcome to the great donkey contest of 2024

I must confess that I, once again, forgot the date of the yearly donkey contest, so I had to leave early (I had a restaurant reservation in another town) and have no idea what was the jury's verdict on each of these donkeys. Therefore, you are the jury. It will be heartbreaking, but I will ask you to vote at the end of the post, setting aside the known fact that all donkeys are the best donkey.

There were Poitou donkeys, Berry donkeys, Bourbonnais donkeys, Provence donkeys, Andalusian donkeys, and common donkeys who seemed to have no distinguishing features other than being acceptably donkey-shaped. I can't possibly post all my photos, so I have chosen 4 noteworthy contestants (or 3 and half, one is very small) for you to vote on. I'll add that I only stayed long enough to watch 2 donkeys demonstrate their skills, so in a spirit of fairness I will not mention anyone's job. You won't be voting based on how good they are doing their specific donkey job but on how good they are at being a donkey.

Donkey #1 — CHEWBACCA.

Chewbacca is big, and he has ears. These are his most salient characteristics. Each one of his ears looks like a separate fluffy ferret-sized mammal attached to his head, gently twitching or napping. Chewbacca's hooves are the diameter of a medium pizza and he looks very formidable but he is extremely kind. I know the most pressing question is "Can I scritch Chewbacca's ears?" and the answer is yes, but then he will immediately appoint you ear-scritcher in chief and will look very sad when you walk away to meet other donkeys.

Chewbacca's ears on their own could be enough to let him win Hairiest Donkey in any contest—but he is mixed breed, and there were purebred baudets du Poitou in attendance. Their entire identity is "the hairy one", and giving the Hairiest trophy to another donkey would result in massive spread of existentialism among Poitou donkeys.

(He is not a contestant, as I didn't have time to get a good aperçu of his personality.)

(Same for this shiny black donkey, pictured here canoodling with a Poitou lady—unfortunately I don't have photos of him in motion, but believe me when I say he was the glossiest donkey I've ever seen. When walking or trotting he shone in the sun like a freshly-polished dress shoe.)

Back to our contest.

Donkey #2 — UGOLIN.

Ugolin (who seems to go by "Glin") is a shaggy, gangly teenage boy whose main characteristic is being utterly love-starved. Left unattended, Ugolin would wander about the donkey contest, stopping in front of every child or adult he encountered, hoping someone would love him.

I was initially the only human Ugolin did not want cuddles from, because he was scared of Pandolf and seemed to think of me as his minion. Then I tied Pandolf to a tree and crouched down a few metres away from Glin, unsure if I had a chance now—and after hesitating for about 2 seconds he came over to kiss my forehead. My friend was so touched by this moment that she (somehow) got her phone to turn her photo into an impressionist painting.

"Can I scritch Glin's ears?" Yes. He is desperate for someone to pet his ears.

Donkey #3

—no, sorry, it's Ugolin again. It's very hard to get rid of him.

Donkey #3 — THE BABY.

The baby has no name. The baby has no skills. The baby is not good at anything other than being tiny enough to walk under her mum's belly. In the absence of any other qualifications she was happy to show off what is possibly the most low-effort limbo dance in the world.

"Can I scritch the baby's ears?" No. Big point against her, here. She will, however, come over if you say "awww le petit ânon <3" and let you pet her tiny nose. (More nose photos in this post if you missed it)

Donkey #ah no wait here's Ugolin again

He actually overcame his intense fear of Pandolf to come trap us in his forcefield of infinite neediness! I'm proud of him.

Donkey #4 — MYRTILLE.

Myrtille is in her mid-thirties, and did not come to the donkey fair to demonstrate any particular skills or be admired by us, but because she likes to meet new donkeys. She was not tethered to the rope and yet did not wander around to mingle with humans like other untied donkeys did; she shuffled from one end of the rope to the other like a friendly pensioner at a continental breakfast buffet, making small talk with everyone. It was hard to approach Myrtille (as a human) without feeling like a third wheel.

I don't mean to gossip, but she spent quite a while flirting with the glossy black donkey.

I love her. She's my favourite. I was not able to pet her or take a good close-up photo of her but that's okay. Myrtille is like a tempting rollercoaster at an amusement park that you are barred from by the sign that says "You must have ears THIS long to go any farther." I wish her only good things.

doctors are so fucking funny; if you go in like "based on my extensive research and corroborations i think i have this Disease" they will immediately go on the defensive and ask you demeaning shit like "how do you even know this Disease exists?" but if you go in and play stupid and say "gee whiz i'm just a silly little bimbo who doesn't know a thing but i have symptom, symptom, symptom, and symptom" they will very eagerly be like "oh wow, that sounds like Disease!"
