Here's Seaside Serenade but instead of Boyfriend and Girlfriend, it's Ron and Meri. Oh, and Opheebop is there. Marine Meri is happy to see Ron and wants to be with him, Ron is having a nosebleed seeing Meri as a sexy and cute mermaid and Mermaid Opheebop is in confusion mode. Or maybe she doesn't want Marine Meri to have Ron because she loves him more.

HISTORICAL PRECURSORS TO THE RADA AND PETWO RITES

In the historical record, there appear to be two prominent sects of colonial Voodoo: (1) snake worshippers (2) followers of Don Pedro. The snake worship sect appears to be the precursor to the Rada rite, while the Don Pedro sect appears to be the precursor to the Petwo rite.

Key historical documents pertaining to the snake worshippers include:

[RADA1] MOREAU DE SAINT-MERY’S (1797) DESCRIPTION TOPOGRAPHIQUE, PP.45-51

In  Description topographique, (1797) Moreau de Saint-Méry described two variants of Vodou (“Vaudoux”), which seem to be the precursors of the Rada and Petwo rites respectively. 

The first variant of Vodou is described between pages 45 and 51, introduced like so:

“Selon les nègres Aradas, qui sont les véritables sectateurs du Vaudoux dans la Colonie, & qui en mantiennent les principes & les règles, Vaudoux signifie un être tout-puissant & surnaturel, dont dépendent tous les événemens qui se passent sur ce globe. Or, cet être, c'est le serpent non venimeux ou une espèce de couleuvre, et c'est sous ses auspices que se rassemblent tous ceux qui professent la même doctrine. Connaissance du passé, science du présent, prescience de l'avenir, tout appartient à cette couleuvre, qui ne consent néanmoins à communiquer son pouvoir, & à prescrire ses volontés, que par l'organe d'un grand-prêtre que les sectateurs choisissent, & plus encore par celui de la négresse que l'amour de ce dernier a élevée aurang de grande-prêtresse.”

TRANSLATION: 

“According to the Aradas, who are the true devotees of Voodoo in the colony, and who maintain the principles and the rules, Voodoo signifies an all-powerful & supernatural being, on whom depends all events that happen in the world. Now, this being is the non-venomous serpent or a kind of grass snake, and it is under its auspices that all those who profess the same doctrine gather. Knowledge of the past, science of the present, prescience of the future, all belong to this grass snake, which nevertheless does not consent to communicate its power, and to prescribe its wishes, except through the organ of a high priest whom the sectarians choose, and even more through that of the negress whom the love of the latter has raised to the rank of high priestess.”

SOURCE: Moreau de Saint-Méry, Médéric Louis Elie. Description topographique, physique, civile, politique et historique de la partie française de l'isle Saint Domingue (etc.). Vol. 1. Moreau de Saint-Méry, 1797. p. 45-51 https://archive.org/details/descriptiontopog00more/page/44/mode/2up 

The ceremony resembles snake worship of Ouidah, where it centers around a snake god (couleuvre). It was presided over by two ministers, who were called “King” (Roi) & “Queen” (Reine), “master” (maître) & “Mistress” (maîtresse), or “Papa” (papa) & “Mama” (maman). With the snake secured inside a box, the ceremony begins with an adoration of the snake and an oath of secrecy. The congregation was then allowed to make appeals to the snake. Many of those present were slaves: “La plûpart lui demandent le talent de diriger l'esprit de leurs maîtres;” (p. 47)

This is followed by spirit possession by the snake god: 

“A chacune de ses invocations, le roi Vaudoux se recueille; l'Esprit agit en lui. Tout-à-coup il  prend la boîte où est la couleuvre, la place à terre et fait monter sur elle la Reine Vaudoux. Dès que l'asile sacré est sous ses pieds, nouvelle pythonisse, elle est pénétrée du dieu, elle s'agite, tout son corps est dans un état convulsif, & l'oracle parle par sa bouche.”

TRANSLATION:

“At each of his invocations, the Voodoo king collects himself; the Spirit acts on him. Suddenly he takes the bok where the snake is, places it on the ground and makes the Voodoo Queen climb on it. As soon as the sacred asylum is under her feet, a new pythoness, she is is penetrated by the god, she becomes agitated, her whole body is in a convulsive state, & the oracle speaks through her mouth.”

https://archive.org/details/descriptiontopog00more/page/48/mode/2up

Offerings are then made to the snake god, and a second oath of secrecy is taken. This is followed by a sacred dance, where the song “Eh! eh! Bomba, hen! hen!” is sung, and the “mounting” of an initiate is described: “alors le récipiendaire se met à trembler et à danser; ce qui s'appelle monter Vaudoux” (p. 49)

This key historical document is worth reading in full. It pertains to the history of New Orleans Vooodo, as it was copied by the author of Souvenirs d’Amerique et de France par une créole (1883) in her description of Nouvelle-Orléans.

[RADA2] MALENFANT’S (1814) DES COLONIES ET PARTICULIEREMENT DE CELLE DE SAINT-DOMINGUE

Malenfant’s account is similar to Moreau de Saint-Méry’s (1797) Description topographique. Malenfant likened Vodou to Freemasonry, and there is no mention of “Don Pedro”.

Below is an excerpt:

Les voyageurs qui veulent parcourir l'Afrique devraient se faire initier à une secte connue sous le nom de Vaudou , secte très-sévèrement punie par les blancs, et aussi cruellement que les francs - maçons par les Espagnols et les Portugais.

Il y avait à Gouraud une grande prêtresse du Vaudou, et un noir, grand chef; je n'ai jamais voulu les dénoncer; ils eussent été pendus ou brûlés de suite. J'ai su ce fait par une négresse qui était initiée. Il y a un mot depasse, mais elle n'a jamais voulu me l'indiquer : elle disait que les femmes ne le connaissent pas. Elle m'a donné les signes pour la reconnaissance avec la main: c'est , à quelque chose près , celui des maçons. Très-peu de créoles sont initiés; il n'y a que les enfants des chefs du Vaudou. Elle me le dit sous le secret, en m’assurant que, malgré que les nègres m'aimassent beaucoup , je serais tué ou empoisonné si je cherchais à découvrir le grand mystère de la secte.

Il existe chez les prêtres du Vaudou, une grosse couleuvre privée, cachée sous terre, dans une grande caisse de bois, qu'on lève dans les cérémonies en forme d'autel. On fait des serments entre les mains de la grande prêtresse. Les danses conduisent à des convulsions, qui cessent lorsqu'on boit une espèce d'huile , qu'elle m'a dit être de serpent ; on en frotte aussi les tempes , les jarrets et les aisselles.

Le chef du Vaudou mourut lorsque j'étais à Gouraud. Il avait un grand ascendant sur tous les noirs ; ils lui ont fait des funérailles magnifiques ; on y a dansé le Vaudou. Je n'ai point voulu troubler leur fête : je lui ai donné au contraire vingt bouteilles de vin.

Cette secte me paraît tenir aux illuminés. Il n'y a que des fanatiques , des sots , ou des imbécilles, qui puissent s'inquiéter d'une secte, qui me paraît à peu près celle de la maçonnerie.

Il faut espérer que les philantropes qui ont établi sur la Sierra Léona une colonie libre , parviendront à trouver l'origine de cette institution, qui remonte peut-être aux temps les plus reculés. Les Arradas sont ceux qui m'ont paru y être le plus attachés…

MACHINE TRANSLATION:

Travelers who want to travel through Africa should be initiated into a sect known as Voodoo, a sect very severely punished by the whites, and as cruelly as the Freemasons by the Spaniards and the Portuguese. 

There was in Gouraud a high priestess of Voodoo, and a black, a great chief; I never wanted to denounce them; they would have been hanged or burned immediately. I learned this fact from a negress who was initiated. There is a password, but she never wanted to tell me: she said that women do not know it. She gave me the signs for recognition with the hand: it is, more or less, that of the Masons. Very few Creoles are initiated; there are only the children of the Voodoo chiefs. She told me this in secret, assuring me that, although the Negroes loved me very much, I would be killed or poisoned if I tried to discover the great mystery of the sect.

Among the Voodoo priests, there is a large private snake, hidden underground, in a large wooden box, which is raised in ceremonies in the form of an altar. Oaths are taken in the hands of the high priestess. The dances lead to convulsions, which stop when one drinks a kind of oil, which she told me was made of snake oil; one also rubs the temples, hamstrings and armpits with it.

The Voodoo chief died when I was in Gouraud. He had great influence over all the blacks; they gave him a magnificent funeral; they danced Voodoo there. I did not want to disturb their celebration: on the contrary, I gave him twenty bottles of wine.

This sect seems to me to be related to the enlightened. There are only fanatics, fools, or imbeciles, who can worry about a sect, which seems to me to be more or less that of Masonry.

It is to be hoped that the philanthropists who have established a free colony on Sierra Leone, will succeed in finding the origin of this institution, which perhaps goes back to the most remote times. The Arradas are those who seemed to me to be most attached to it…

[PETWO1] “PROPHET OR COOK? THE REAL DON PEDRO”

13) Prophet or Cook? The Real Don Pedro

These letters by the judge of Petit Goâve parish reveal that the original Don Pedro was not a freedman but probably a maroon slave, and that Moreau de Saint-Méry (doc. 11) was mistaken in thinking he was Spanish rather than African. Due to Portuguese influence in Africa, Pedro was quite a common name among Kongolese, both for African kings and Caribbean slaves. Significantly, the author uses the Portuguese “Dom” not the Spanish “Don.” Petit Goâve lies west of Port-au-Prince on Haiti’s southern peninsula.

(1 May 1769.) In June/July 1768 and on into 1769, [I] carried out the very extensive investigation for the criminal case against the infamous black slave Pierre, of the Congo nation, who called himself Dom Pedro, and his adherents and accomplices to the number of forty-two imprisoned Negroes, mulattoes, and Negresses. The Negro Dom Pedro was extremely dangerous. He went from plantation to plantation dominating the minds of the blacks by means of performing crude tricks. He informed them that they would soon be free, and he had the slave drivers of each plantation whipped, telling them that they could no longer flog the slaves in their charge and, moreover, that they would not be punished by their masters. He demanded tribute in either money or animals from initiated or compliant slaves, and he imposed it on those who did not remain loyal to him. This investigation involved some 300 documents, and it was brought to an end in February by order of the Council, because the Negro Dom Pedro had been killed in a hunt. 

(15 October 1773.) [The jails of Petit Goâve were full of] the accomplices of a black slave calling himself Dompèdre who stirred up the workforces of the north and south coasts [of the southern peninsula] inciting them to rebellion and to be independent of their masters.

[PETWO2] MOREAU DE SAINT-MERY’S (1797) DESCRIPTION TOPOGRAPHIQUE

In  Description topographique, (1797) Moreau de Saint-Méry described two variants of Vodou (“Vaudoux”), which seem to be the precursors of the Rada and Petwo rites respectively. 

Moreau de Saint-Méry describes the second variant of Vodou on page 51:

“...Qui croirait que le Vaudoux le cède encore à quelque chose, qu'on a aussi appelé du nom de danse ! En 1768 , un nègre du Petit-Goave , espagnol d'origine, abusant de la crédulité des nègres, par des pratiques superstitieuses , leur avait donné l'idée d'une danse analogue à celle du Vaudoux , mais où les mouvemens sont plus précipités. Pour lui faire produire encore plus d'effet, les nègres mettent dans le tafia qu'ils boivent en dansant , de la poudre à canon bien écrasée. On a vu cette danse appellée Danse à Dom Pèdre, ou simplement Don Pèdre, donner la mort à des nègres ; & les spectateurs euxmêmes, électrifés par le spectacle de cet exercice convulsis, partagent l'ivresse des acteurs, & accélèrent par leur chant & une mesure pressée , une crife qui leur est , en quelque sorte , commune. Il a sallu défendre de danser Don Pedre sous des peines graves , & quelquefois inefficaces.”

TRANSLATION (borrowed from Laguerre):

“Who will believe that Voodoo gives place to something further which also goes by the name of dance? In 1768, a slave of Petit-Goave, of Spanish origin, abusing the credulity of the blacks, by superstitious practices gave them an idea of a dance, analogous to that of the Voodoo, but where the movements are more hurried. To make it even more effective the slaves place in the rum, which they drink while dancing, weIl crushed gun-powder. One has seen this dance, called Dance to Don Pedro, or simply Don Pedro, induce death in the slaves; and the spectators themselves, electrified by the spectacle of this convulsive exercise, share the drunkenness of the actors, and hasten by their chant and a quickened measure, a crisis which is in some way common to them. It has been necessary to forbid them from dancing Don Pedro under grave penalty, but sometimes ineffectually.”

This second, more “fiery” variant of Vodou (“Don Pedro”) seems to be the precursor to the Petwo rite.

[PETWO3] DESCOURTILZ’ (1809) VOYAGES D’UN NATURALISTE ET SES OBSERVATIONS

Descourtilz mentions the precursor to the Petwo rite in Chapter 4, “Idée des Vaudoux”:

 « Les vaudoux , me dit la véridique Finette (1) , sont de nations différentes ; ils tombent en crise par suite d’une sympathie imconcevable. Réunis sur le terrain qui doit être le théâtre de leurs grimaces convulsives, ils sourient en se rencontrant, se heurtent avec rudesse, et les voilà tous deux en crise ; les pieds en l'air, hurlant comme des bêtes féroces , et écumant comme elles.

» Je passois un jour , poursuivit-elle, auprès de deux de ces espèces de convulsionnaires, et soit que leurs prosélytes aient eu l’intenuon d’accréditer leur système, soit que par ces preuves irrécusables , ils aient voulu profiter de mon jeune àge pour m'initier dans leurs mystères , on m’introduisit dans le cercle, et il fut ordonné à l’un d’eux, par le chef de la horde, de prendre dans ses mains du charbon allumé qui lui fut présenté, et sembla ne point le brûler; à l’autre de se laisser enlever des lanières de chair avec des ongles de fer, ce qui fut ponctuellement exécuté, sans que je remarquasse le moindre signe de sensibilité.

» Dompète ( c’est le nom du chef tout-puissant de la horde fanatique ) a, disent-ils, le pouvoir de découvrir de ses yeux , et malgré tout obstacle matériel, tout ce qui se passe , n’importe à quelle distance ; propriété ficuve bien faite pour en imposer aux crédules, et tyranniser les incertains dont le défaut de confiance est puni par le poison qui leur est familier , et, dans les mains du Dompète, d'un usage journalier et impuni.

» Les acolytes de cette secte ont aussi entre eux des moyens magiques d’exercer leur vengeance. Un homme a-t-il essuyé les rigueurs d’une amante, ou l’infidélité d’une maîtresse habituée ? un piquant de raie jeté dans l’urine de la coupable, le venge de son outrage, en frappant soudain l’infidelle d’unemaladie de langueur, que le vaudoux fait cesser à volonté par une préparauon différente.

MACHINE TRANSLATION:

"The voodooists," the truthful Finette (1) told me, "are of different nations; they fall into crisis as a result of an inconceivable sympathy. Gathered on the ground which must be the scene of their convulsive grimaces, they smile when they meet, collide roughly, and there they are both in crisis; feet in the air, howling like wild beasts, and foaming like them.

"I was passing one day," she continued, "with two of these kinds of convulsionaries, and whether their proselytes had the intention of accrediting their system, or whether by these irrefutable proofs they wanted to take advantage of my young age to initiate me into their mysteries, I was introduced into the circle, and one of them was ordered by the leader of the horde to take in his hands some lighted coal which was presented to him, and seemed not to burn it; the other to let strips of flesh be removed from him with iron nails, which was punctually carried out, without my noticing the slightest sign of sensitivity.

"Dompète (this is the name of the all-powerful leader of the fanatic horde) has, they say, the power to discover with his eyes, and despite all material obstacles, everything that happens, no matter how far away; a fictive property well made to impose itself on the credulous, and to tyrannize the uncertain whose lack of confidence is punished by the poison which is familiar to them, and, in the hands of the Dompète, of daily and unpunished use.

"The acolytes of this sect also have among themselves magical means of exercising their vengeance. Has a man endured the rigors of a lover, or the infidelity of a regular mistress? A stingray prickle thrown into the urine of the guilty one, avenges his outrage, by suddenly striking the unfaithful woman with a disease of languor, which voodoo can stop at will by a different preparation.

[PETWO4] DROUIN DE BERCY’S (1814) DE SAINT-DOMINGUE

Drouin de Bercy describes the threat “Don Pedro” posed to the white colonists:

Le Don Pedro et le Vaudou sont une association d'autant plus terrible qu'elle a pour but la ruine et la destruction des blancs, et de persuader aux negres qu'ils ne seront jamais heureux, s'ils n'y sont pass associes. Pour etre Don Pedro, il faut etre bon filou, effronte, entet, endurci aux coups, et ne jamais reveler de ce qui s'est passe dans leurs rendez-vous.

TRANSLATION

Don Pedro and Voodoo are an association all the more terrible because their aim is the ruin and destruction of the whites, and to persuade the Negroes that they will never be happy if they are not associated with it. To be Don Pedro, one must be a good rogue, brazen, stubborn, hardened to blows, and never reveal what happened in their meetings.

Heyloooooo how are youuuuu??

Currently on my survival mode cuz your girl hates oral assessments. Anw meri choro how are YOU? Tell me what's going on

[devimayi]

lol, this is my try at writing again after a sorta writer's block. A small dialogue between Manmohan & Savitri (ig an oc?)

∞ it is recommended to read in light mode ∞

Savitri looked at her Manmohan.

Manmohan looked at her. His eyes were kind and inviting, full of knowledge and desire for mischief.

"Kya makhan khaogi, ki mujhe hi dekhte rahogi, Sakhi?", Krishna said.

Savitri knew that he was no ordinary boy. For no one could be as enchanting as him without a portion of divinity. Thus, she followed him from Braj to Dwarka.

"Kyu nahi khaungi? Mujhe bhi do! Kya Yashoda Maiya ko tum akele uttar doge?"

Kanhaiya's smile froze.

"Yashoda Ma.. unko dekhne bhi nahi milega...Meri makhan chori ka anand toh unke aur gopiyon ke prem mein hi toh tha..."

The silence was worse than a wound.

[in-ankhon-ki-masti]

Neet ke time jab main severely depressed aur borderline suicidal thi, mujhe meri ma se bhot irritation hota tha because she kept pestering me for eating and she always wanted to keep giving me hugs but I didn't like people touching me at the time.

Abhi neet ke baad papa se kitchen main late night talks kar rahi thi aur papa ne bola ki apne bacche ko aise dekh ke mummy overprotective mode main chali gayi. Apni saari mamta ek jagah ek hi time par channel karne lag gayi kyunki unko laga unki beti theek nahi hai and that sent off red alarms in her brain.

Please don't push your mothers away.

Chapter seven

Meri was enjoying her dream. Where she was the main character of her favorite reverse heram game. She giggled as the men were helping her tend to her every whim. But most of all she was waiting for her favorite guy to come since he was the most handsome and also rather greedy when it came to her time.

And he indulge in most of her needs so long as in the end she remain at his side. He would even send his familar to keep an eye on her when he couldn't watch her himself. There were so many times he would save her and their would be so many steam scenes that it made her giggle at the mere thought of them. Humming she heard someone mention he was coming and she got super excited as the doors begin to open

Sadly her dreams were rudly intrupted and she soon found herself awake, drozy and rather annoyed. Taking a few moments to realize what is going on she stared at the vice warden for savanaclaw. A small squeak left her and she went to grab something to throw at the elder teen.

After all she was not a people person despite her online persona. and if she had a plant she might have thrown it at her, but than again isn't that cruel to the plant? Quickly dismissing the thought as she grab the pillow and tossed at the elder who seem to easily catch it.

The elder seemd to sigh before speaking. "Look, I am rather sorry to have spooked you, but I am waking you up to ask how long can it take for you to erase everyone's memories?"

For a moment meri looked to the other confused, before it clicked. "Fifteen minutes... but, don't we need to have one of everybody for it to work?" Meri slightly shifted the blanket hoping to hide under it. But she did recall rotem mentioning why the calculation she was working on didn't seem to fully work because she was in fact missing more than she thought.

"We got it covered, just figured it be best if we get you guys out, before anything else happens." The elder glanced to where rotem was.

Which had meri wonder if the male told the other vice that he overbloted. Something she really hoped she didn't have to deal with but she did sort of want to get home, after all her babies needed her and of course prince must be worried. Oh than her fans must also be worried as well, sure she pre recorded episodes but she normally did a live stream on the weekends so they surly must have noticed her missing.

So meri nodded and moved to get her stuff since she needed to start everything since everything would be in sleep mode. Not that it would take long to get it started, but still.

Sighing she glanced back up to see the two vice wardens getting brig and chaim up, and knowing she can't be drag around she moved to get up off the bed, glad she had a tablet to use since she couldn't use her laptop (not well anyway) while walking.

A few taps and here and there and she had access to what she wanted and needed. Anothwr yawn left her. She really wanted to go back to sleep. But she had a feeling if she did she would get yelled at, and she rather not be yelled at.

Taking a moment while she had it she open up the messaging app on her tablet and went to prince's name. Of corse there hasn't been a new message since they came here but sometimes re reading old messages made her feel a little less lonely.

Not to say she didn't find her friends less than its just, their is a different vibe hanging out with them and talking to her boyfriend. Sighing she looked up to see everyone was ready so with a mix of dread and excitement meri begin following them out the door.

All the while she can feel how heavy her own body felt, but than again she did pour a lot of magic into growing mutable trees to full maturity in a span of a few seconds and commanded their roots plung from the ground and fully entrap a person, which wasn't an easy task.

Though maybe her mom and grandma c I understand have done it easier... ok maybe her grandma but than again the woman was a little crazy that even as a plant lover herself her grandma was a little psycho when it came to plants. Just thinking about it made her shiver slightly.

Pushing her crazy plant grandma aside, she did have her own babies to take care of and while she was sure the robotic kicked in with her absence and they are being watered and getting their in taken sun light, she did worry about one of them that kept being dumb and trying to climb onto the sunlight, and she had to physically move the light and plant so it wouldn't burn itself. And the idoit kept trying to smother the light with its leaves and when she moved it the further from.the light it seemed to be moping.

Just thinking of the dummy made meri smile, if it a bit Sadly, for it has been much to long away from home. Because while this place was like home, it was not since it was missing the very things that made home, home.

Meri had been so lost in her own mind she didn't realize she was walking down the stairs till she almost trip and reached out for the railing to steady herself and keep from falling face first into the ground, possibly down the rest of the stairs to the turn point.

It also seemed most of them didn't notice... well expected for rotem who stared at her for a moment, and meri wonder if she gave him, a bit of a trauma flash back."I'm fine!"

At this the others looked at her and she suddenly felt self conscious as her brain tried to think of something to say, but it seems rotem was quick to cover for her or at least draw the attention to him. Which honestly meri was so greatful for. Honestly it made her think about about getting someone who can act as her butler, since that would be epic.

But than again wouldn't that mean dealing with people? So maybe not. Her circle was small for a reason, and it's why she also loved pin and cey the robotic programs dead as she asked and didn't judge her for all her mess ups. Taking a moment to pay more attention as she walked, meri pulled her sleeve up.

The watch live device was recording data, and she would have to upload this data to the main system once home but at least they would be getting good information about blot cumalation though she would have to also get the ones from chaim and Brigitte beforw they left and that reminded her maybe she should have made that extra one when she was first making the first three since the data would have been amazing.

But could have, would have, she couldn't dwell on the past, nope, she needs to focus on the future and the things she has to do, after all the past has nothing to deal with her, what does is the now and the things ahead of her. Like the newest animes and grow a tree so large so big that she can reach to the heavens and knock those jerks that keep punishing her family for the sins of the past.

After all she was the heroine of her own story, and she will show all of twisted wonderland that Meri Shroud is someone to be praised for. Just thinking on it made her smile. And sure her dreams were childish but her father and mother said it was a good dream (even if her father was a tad pessimistic about it)

None the less she had much work to do and maybe this blot information could be used to get the plant to grow since she was also trying to test to see if plants can help purified blot and possibly help them grow, but that was still something she was testing with her mother's help.

Meri hummed wondering if her mom was still working on it since she was Mia. Though rotem did say her parents were putting a lot of effort to get her home so maybe not? That thought made her frowned and felt a bit guilty now.

But maybe they won't be mad at her if she apologized? But it's not like she did anything wrong. If anything it was mona's fault for giving them a fucked up grimrale.

Though speaking of the Octo-maid turning the corner to the last hall that leads to the second pair of stairs. Sure she had been zoning out but surly she wasn't that zone out that some how the other housewarden just appeared from no where. But what took her back the most was the marking across her face. A mark so large it covered half of her face.

Glancing to the male beside her and than to who at first meri had thought was mona's men, but they weren't like those two. The twins that were behind mona sent chills down her spin. As if something evil lerked behind those eyes and smiles.

And not ingoring the alarms that had started ringing in her hear meri did what she could and hid behind brigtte as she begin digging into her bag. And she was so glad that she wasn't the only one who sence somthing off since the four spoty extrovert seemed to quickly go into a postion that meri knew they were ready for a fight.

Though from her slightly hidden spot she could hear a laughter and peeked to see the housewarden walked towards them as her lacky didn't even turn as he was watching the evil twins.

"Their is no need to be afraid, though I must admit you seem to have catch at a poor time, though it can't fully be helped since you are rather late, that I had to go and deal with things for you." Looking behind her she turned back to the twins behind her.

"You can leave, and I hope you enjoy the fun you will have." The evil twins seemed to linger and it seemed Mona got her main lucky to get rid of them which somehow took a while and meri found herself glad she didn't start the count down yet cause they would have missed it had she done so.

Meri open her mouth to speak and than closed it, she wanted to ask but how does one even begin to ask? Like really what the heck happened? Like this was all to nuts for her to fully understand what the hell was going on.

But it seemed that Mona herself decided to speak. "We need to hurry, the sharks are smelling blood and were just injured fish. And I'm not talking about the one I control." Mona quickly turned but it seems the savanaclaw vice wasn't going to let it drop. As meri followed (still hiding behind brigtte though)

"What did you do?!" The tone was accusatory as the all followed.

The woman leading clicked her tounge. "Nothing. ... well besides helping you all out, if not for my intervening you would have delt with my father's men. And unlike mine, they arent on a tight leash."

Hearing that meri frowned, that in no way sounded good. Like the twins were already a bit insane, but if their tames compared to the ones they just meet? A cold chill went down her spin. And maybe it wasn't a good idea to think of.

Honestly what was up with this year where everyone was super insane? It was quite ridiculous, and you think they would have realized it, but they had done their best to avoid anyone who knew of their parents on a slightly more personal level as well as each other's parents.

Students, teachers anyone, which might sound easy. Hadnt been from time to time. But they had manged, at least till rotem decided to come running in like a mini boss and screw shit up.

But nothing can be done about that. Sighing she pulled pin and asked him to go check on thing ahead though the little guy shifted about in her hand and indicated his low battery. Which was still bother some and she rather not send cey since he wasn't built for stealth. Not to say he didn't try but the little guy stuggled.

Honest the little one was sort of cute in a way, but the fact still stands does she still risk sending the little guy? She already lost a drone from before and she already drain the power of the function one to use on charging cey who is her top priority given he was currently hosting an experiment inside his round belly. So if she sent him out she could lose the data she's been collecting and that wasn't something she really wanted. Any risk must be done with the data in mind.

Sighing she decided to just follow everyone and hoped they don't meet anyone on the way, since that seemed to be the only way to go, but she was than reminded how she hated stairs while following everyone up.

Mona explain that we drew her father's attention, and how her father always being one to look for.a way to get a heads up sent the twins to investigate for him. And had she not step in they would have to most likely try to fight them off.

And maybe if meri was the type the shade of being weak would have offended her, but she wasn't the brut type, and was just someone who rather relax and chill, the most enagentic thing she does is riding her bike, and while a sport, she is also sitting so not to much engery is used unless she is turning the bike and to keep it steady.

Though that also bought up her bike, she hasn't been able to give it maintenance since she's been here, and she could only hope it didn't lock. Fuck its going to.suck if it did.

Though the fact that she was suddenly thinking of her bike must mean that it was slowly staying to register that they were going home, no more having to.scan things and try to test theories of ways home no more using spells to hide her appearance, no more sharing a bed with anyone and feeling like a third wheel. No more feeling lonely in the middle of the night.

Just thinking of everything felt as if a weight that had been on her this whole time suddenly felt so much lighter, bearable like the tension she had in the middle of a race and she was on the last round so close to the finish line, and about to win. But than again she shouldn't let her guard down since one can screw up at the finish line.

Thus why she went and grab brigtte's shit clinging to it like a child, which she won't admit to though, chaim seemed to notice and jerk gave her snacks like she was a child! .... she did begin eatting them because they were the limited edition snacks that they stop making since the company went bankrupt when she was like five.

Honestly these snacks are so good and super amazing, she had to talk to her dad to see if they could remake them.... or talk to Mona to see if she could do so, and since she would be getting money from it maybe she could at least get them free? She'll think about it later.

The rest of the trip seemed tame compared to everything and blah blah blah expansion everyone but me (fucken sucks) brigtte, savanaclaw vice warden (what was her name again?), and mona (though her lacky seemed to not enjoy that fact) would go the portal first while the four if us didn't till the program was in its last moment and begin to erase peoples memories and they would jump in.

Honestly it was all bull shit. But than again she was the only one who knew what she was doing and was already typing away as she listen to everyone just talk about crap she didn't care. Normies are just so not worth listing to, which is why she wasn't caring at the moment and brig wasn't a big talker, and that made her such a good friend.

Though it's not like she is saying not talking was a good thing. What she means is that it depends on the how the talking is, after all chaim isa but of a talker, and he was one of her friends, he just wasn't annoying about it and didn't force her to do stuff unless she wanted to, but he would bring her stuff from outing same with brig who also bring her stuff. Which honestly she greatly appreciated.

And hey sometimes she had to see it out in the wild herself so she would go out and it was always fun (and they would bring a flying carpet so she wouldn't have to walk to much which is always a bones.

Putting all that aside she finished up the last bit she had to do and hit the send button allowing the command to go though, her uncle most likely got the alert and but he will have other problems to.keep him occupied till the last count down and than her program will self delete and it'll be like the last fourty eight hours didn't happen and all was normal with the world.

Sighing. Meri looked around again before.back at her computer it wouldn't be long she just hoped time went by fast other wise this was all going to really suck. But here's hoping.

any dramas youve watched recently that are good? havent watched a drama in forever i feel most current programming is so stale 😭 all melodramas look like humsafar knockoffs and all family dramas are suno chanda-esque but not as funny… ill take any recs i can get lol (also do u have twitter in case yeh phir se ban kr dein lol)

recently? nope. nothing keeps my interest all the way through least of all desi dramas. currently I am only invested in Yunhi but keeping it lowkey (by my standards). i was into Mohabbat Gumshuda Meri for the cute chemistry but there's too much stupidity in the script for it to really get me hooked. Pyari Mona disappointed me cuz of its weak execution. Tere Bin ki toh baat hi na karo. Mujhe Pyaar Hua That oh lost me before the first epi was even over xD what else is even on-air currently? my mind is in nostalgia mode right now and I'd rather watch some old favorites than waste time investing in anything new. kuch aisa HIT nahin karraha dil ko ke banda uss pe zyada time de. maybe go through my dramarecs tag?? idk if you'll find something there even.

piche chod rhi hun

Akela rhena kisse pasand hai, na khana, na ghar aana. Jindagi ki majburi ka chadar oadh diye ,taki kahin logon ko yeh na lag jaye ye alag he, boring he, entertaining nhi he. Woh niwala , sareei nigaho se chup ke lena, apni nigaho me bekauf hone ki kosish karna. Sochti kya galate he meri, kyun me hi hun akeli. Na khushi batne wala, bas sab gum dene wale. kya ese hi rhagei meri zindagi.

Phir jeevan ke rukh badle or esa samay aaya jab chhaaron disha tir pe tir, har second defence mode. Kabhi kabhi lagta tha ki kab tak me ladungi, lekin na ladti ti khud ko bacha nhi pati. Khud ko jinda rakha bas yehi meri shanti ki keemat thi. Phir akela rhena me jindagi ka dusra nam hua. Iss bari bekhrukh se thi per dukh b nhi thi.

ab piche dekti hun kahin, log toh kai ache v mile the, chocolate khane ka mann ab v nhi bhara, na hi headphone pe korean songs pe nachti. Toh kyun akelepan se bhagti hun. Kise pasand ye chodo, mujhe jo pasand wo me kar rhi hun, bina dare. haan mana kuch galatiyan meri v kuch teri v , per maafi ke intezar me kyun hun, kyun me sahi hona chachti hun, kyun me sirf apne khamiyan me soch rhi hun.

Azzad kiya maine khud ko apne perfectionism ke kaid,

Choda diya maine khud ki ego ko, taki koi aur ki ego me kaid na rahun

sammy is now in a little silly goofy mood and going full orange cat mode (because he.... literally is orange)

yknow how when you ignore cats, they end up absolutely *loving* you? thats sammy. but i dont know if stone really *can* just ignore his son for. idk. a few weeks?

because then his dumb little brain goes "HEY. is he IGNORING me??? inconceivable!" and just... sorta sits next to him on the couch. because how dare he! how *dare*!

.. or yknow.. him finally thinking stone is respecting his boundaries of not even breathing in his direction, and after a week he's like "hey. hi. uhh.... yeah. hello :)" but he still needs his moral support sylvester or mārīte next to him to carry the conversation

bros puberty mood swings are insane. do you hate him or not????

Stone, crying: I can't ignore my son!

Kali: It's just until he actually wants you to talk to him, you won't have to ignore him forever.

Heartthrob: It's okay, meri jaan. It'll all be okay.

Stone is ignoring Sammy (though with great difficulty) and he tries not to show his sheer excitement when finally, Sammy says hi to him. He remains calm as he says hello back, letting Sammy lead the conversation.

I had this idea of what if twisted wonderland crew tempered to the future or rather switched places with their relatives?

Like kailim would maybe learn of how he doesn't seem to be in his son's life given the lack of pictures and the only picture with them together is an old family portrait from when it was a family of four and not three. Would he change to fix it who knows, he is also easy mode for rotem so he is followed everywhere till they get him home

For Jamil he would be in a guest room and Jamil wouldn't have to really do much since chiam would run everything like normal, though he might have a bit of extra work but nothing to bad.

Idia would be confused about the plants, and he might be a bit surprised he got a girl but and while tempted he wouldn't touch any of meri's stuff because he hates it if someone did it to him. But he does look around and depending on if meri and Henry are together in the physical plane depends on if hernry comes in to check on meri's stuff and pants before leaving (he would snatch something from her room and leave switching it with something else he borrowed)

Brigitte has two parents and I'm not to sure if both or one should come. And if only one which one? If its silver it would be pretty chill if its sebek he might cause a trouble for people especially when he realizes his daughter is housewarden. And if its both it might be a bit awkward for them if they haven't yet express their feeling to one another or if they are quietly dating it would be a "how did we have a kid?" Unless its omegaverse or silver is a girl. More so when they find out they have two kids but over all ok

For azul I think he might be impressed with what Mona has done, though he won't be able to go into the paper work because the boys won't let him and azul might even see the more darker side that the boys don't show Mona because she is slightly sheltered (not that she realizes it because she never see the darkest part of the dirt work they do)

Now I think for the twins I think itnwould be easier for me of the twins just switches places rather than their being three leeches or swaping one brother for the other but it would be a bit of a pain for Mona but she dealt with them before so she can sort of deal with it. And I think the twins would have fun running about. And they most floyd might end up getting his but handed yo him by ulrik which for him would be fun. Though not to sure how they would react to ulrik true form but it'll bound to get them rather curious as to why and how he is under Mona complete control (would they realize its ulrik being deeply in love with Mona who knows) over all Mona will be happy when she gets her leeches back.

If jack switches with Rama imani will take him to a empty room and apologize for the state of them room but she'll help him but over all be busy dealing with keeping an eye on the dorm. Would jack realize she has two scents (one being her own) on her who knows either way itnwould be over all ok, nothing to crazy.

Leona switching would be a bit problematic, not for most, rather its only problematic for Rama because Leona wants the biggest room aka his room aka the room he shares with imani. Aka Leona's daughter. So despite trying to avoid it Rama would end up taking the other to his room. And Leona isn't stupid. I'm not to sure if he'll notice or realize it because she is t blood but he will easily smell both scents when they end up in the room, it would be clear that the room has two people in it plus the fact that imani would also have family pictures around the room (Rama has a few pictures but not as many as imani given the combination involving five people) so yeah Rama will have to admit to dating Leona's daughter, and leona will at least be ok it though he wouldn't say anything till last minute.

Vil might not be amused to find out his son loves meri, because he'll be lead to Henry's room and hit a panting not to far in (its one of those really well done ones that looks real) than have to go around it to see Henry owns one of every one of meri's merch. At least one of everything and if henry and meri are actually dating meri would come in and apologize see if he would want to go to a different room and while she isn't to comfortable being around people she does her best to help vil out. Also while most of the merch if official their are a few none official merch

For Lewis he has two parents. If its ace Samantha would be stuck dealing with him and getting him set up and dealing with his nonsense but unlike her mother who she wouldn't deal with it and set him straight basically to Samantha she is left feeling like she's dealing with a dumb down version if Lewis. But over all it goes well. If riddle is the one who switches mauz will be dealing with him on a more face to face type way while he has Samantha run things in the background as a way to keep riddle from blowing up (riddle rep is bad a sort of boogie man a horror show though the generation so everyone one is now on edge. I'm sure riddle would end up collaring someone making the fear worse. But mauz will do there doing diplomacy, keeping everyone safe or as safe as he can. But by the end it was unsettling for everyone but they make it out. If its both riddle and ace than it'll be a but easier because riddle will mostly be forced on dealing with ace. And because their is two and with Samantha's connections will have them ship out to ramshackle. Since their isn't room in Heartslabyul for two bodies one would be ok but not two. Also I really like the thought of mauz sitting outside drinking tea with a plate of tarts plus other stuff Samantha has made for him as well as a few of her friends but to keep riddle from blowing up they do what they can to basically make a little tea party. And the three of them have conversations and Samantha acting as a secatery all the while. But they do get it all set up and that ends up ok is for everyone.

Now if trey and Samantha switched it would be pretty chill mauz will maybe have a conversation with him thank him for keeping a record about things here and there and that it very much has helped many generations of Heartslabyul housewardens along with their vices and he'll set up a place for him till he goes back so overall everything would be good.

And of course malleus would switch with mina but we'll do thrid year mina rather than her adult self mostly so they can still be at nrc. And while that's the case most might not realize who he switched with mina's friends + Sébastien will and they will be the only ones not afraid (at least not outwardly) with talking to him and telling him that he in fact took mina's place and they might try to argue with the housewarden to not have some random guy go into her room. But they will lose and malleus will have her room for how ever long he's there. So the friends will go and try to make sure important and valuable stuff is safe. Which would of course offend malleus who will get angry and effective the weather but out of habit mina's bff will grab a near by water bottle and spray malleus in the face like one would a cat. Which would temp stun a ticked malleus into confusion. And everyone will look to said bff and she would be like "look i panicked and it works on mina when she gets all magical and effects the weather! It was just instincts." The comment would peak malleus interest (while he was going to be ticked the comment turn anger to curiosity) after all not to many fae can effect the weather like he can and it must mean they are very powerful. But they wouldn't be inclined in telling him and just take what they can to hide and keep safe. But malleus would look about the room not a lot but would most likely find a picture of mina and her family and while mina does hold a lot of her mother's genetics, he can easily see the fae blood line, and he will known that she is not related to the male in the photograph (not included the small children) over all malleus will spend a lot of time trying to figure out who mina's father is not admiting to feeling jealous/ possessive over yuu (not that he realize it's what he's feeling)

Also not to sure if I should do the same to the teachers but that would sort of mean crewel would get stuck as rsa and trein would be at an all girls school which might be bad.

So yeah... also I might write out selective secne of this whole idea at some point.
