MIA AND THE SKELETONS NIGHT FROM HELL
Horror and Punk Rock is always a combo that leads to a good time. Going back to the 80s classic, THE RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD, which had a punk aesthetic, vibe, and soundtrack, this subgenre always delivers the right mix of humor, gore, and fun, which all horror fans love and appreciate. Ryan Maples proof of concept short, delivers on what one would expect from this sort of story, and hopefully he and his time find funding to further explore this world.

Tumblr media
You skipped school for a week. It was a full week of heartache; most of which included the following: watching new shows (and finishing them), being brought food by your very understanding mother, crying, taking very long baths, wallowing in self-pity (which is something you tried not to do, but ended up doing anyway), crying until you were dehydrated, and ignoring texts and calls.
A new week was starting when your mom walked into your room, interrupting your daily “stare at the ceiling in sadness”. She sat on the end of your bed by your feet when she said, “It’s time for you to return to life.”
“What if I don’t want to?”
“Sweetheart, I get it.” She placed a hand on your ankle, trying to pull your attention to her. You kept your eyes on the ceiling. “Trust me, I do. But you can’t continue to isolate yourself from life. You have a beautiful, bright future in front of you. Exams are coming up, and your friends miss you.”
You sighed. “I guess I’ll go.”
“Good! Quite frankly, I’m tired of lying to your friends. Did you know that Iwaizumi resorted to texting me every day?” Your mom stood up, sending you a smile when you followed suit. “Clean your room. I’ll drive you to school tomorrow.”
You agreed, staring at the empty water bottles next to your bed.
Tumblr media
Out of the hundreds of texts and missed calls, you decided to text Iwaizumi back first. He was the one who you’ve known the longest (other than the other boy you shall not name) and had helped you through your Love Problems.
you: hey. i’m ok. pls tell me that you’ll be at school tomorrow
iwa <3: fuck dude
iwa <3: you scared the shit out of me i deadass texted your fucking mom
iwa <3: i will be at school tomorrow the question is will you
you: yeah i’m coming. didn’t wanna be alone
iwa <3: you’ll never be alone darling
Tumblr media
Despite everything telling you not to, you got up that Monday morning for school. You cleaned your room, you showered, you got a good night’s rest. You even ate breakfast. Yet, you still felt like… well, shit.
Your mother drove you to school, sending you a small smile and wave of encouragement like it was your first day of kindergarten and you were scared to go in. Truth was, you wanted to throw up all over the front doors and go straight back into your bedroom and watch another Gordon Ramsay compilation on youtube.
You sighed and went into Hell (hell being school). You tried to act as normal as possible but it was evident that everyone in the entire school hadn’t moved on from the whole thing, eyes staring at you and inaudible whispers.
“Great.” You mumbled to yourself, whipping your locker open.
It was at that moment that Tooru Oikawa made his appearance. He was walking next to Hanamaki, talking among themselves, when Oikawa stopped dead in his tracks. Hanamaki gave him a small pat on his back before leaving (and effectively leaving the awkward situation that would inevitably happen).
He opened his locker beside you.
“Hi!” He greeted, as though it was the most normal and casual thing ever. “You’re feeling better? Your mom said that…”
You didn’t acknowledge him, closing your locker and walking to class. Maybe you’ll find Iwaizumi before class…
“Whoa. Wait!” Oikawa was walking beside you then, easily catching up to you. “Did you get any of my texts?”
You spun on your heels, finally facing him after a week of being MIA and trying to forget your love for him. He swallowed and stared back at you.
“I don’t know what you want me to do.” You shrugged. “I told you that I needed time. And by that, I mean I need time away from you specifically. I’m not going to entertain the idea of pretending that nothing happened between us because it did.”
Oikawa blinked, nodding. “Okay, okay. Yes.” He purposefully took a step back, literally giving you space. “But can I ask one thing? Just one?”
“Go ahead.”
“For how long?” He asked. “How long do you think it’ll take for you to talk to me again?”
“I don’t know. Maybe when the school stops staring at me like a wounded puppy.”
Tumblr media
“I’ve missed you!” Sana brought you into a hug, her boobs straight into your face. “I seriously thought that you dropped off of the face of the earth.”
You let a small smile creep onto your lips. The first smile in a while. “Sorry.”
“Don’t you dare apologize. What even happened?”
“That’s a story for later.”
She linked her arm with yours before walking with you to the library. Iwaizumi and Matsukawa sat at the usual table, heads in books like their life depended on it. It wasn’t until you were nearly next to them that they realized you were there. You hadn’t been able to see Iwaizumi all day.
“Oh my god, she’s really here.” Matsukawa exclaimed, a bit too loud for a library. 
Iwaizumi got up from his seat (also very loudly, a squeak from the chair on the floor). He immediately pulled you into a hug, picking you up and putting his head into your shoulder.
“Shittykawa told me what happened.” He mumbled into your neck. You bit the inside of your lip and wrapped your arms around his waist. “I’m not going to ask if you’re okay, but I do want you to know that I know.”
“You always know.” You mumbled back.
Tumblr media
Hajime Iwaizumi was walking with Issei Matsukawa when he caught Oikawa leaving your house. He knew immediately that something had happened, that something wasn’t quite right, because Oikawa had his head down. He never had his head down.
Iwaizumi turned to his boyfriend, telling him “I’ll be right back.” Matsukawa gave him a kiss on the wrist before letting him run off.
“Hey man,” Iwaizumi jogged to his best friend. Oikawa stopped, head still at his feet. “Hey. What’s up?”
“Nothing.”
“Oikawa.” Iwaizumi stood in front of him, cutting him off. “Don’t bullshit me. What’s going on? What happened?”
When Oikawa didn’t answer, Iwaizumi put his arms on his shoulders to bring his head up. Oikawa was red-faced, tears running down his cheeks. He was in pain.
“I, um.” Oikawa looked back and forth, never really meeting Iwaizumi’s eyes. “I told her that I’m in love with her. We kissed and I told her that I love her.”
“Oh?” That’s a good thing… right?
“She shut the door in my face. She said that she “thought that she was in love with me too”. And just shut the door.”
“Oh.”
Tumblr media
“What if we got married?” Oikawa once asked you, a giggling child in the morning sun.
You both laid in your backyard, the grass long and bugs flew along your heads. You didn’t care. You giggled back to him.
“That’s gross! You have cooties!”
“Not if we’re married I don’t!” Oikawa stuck his tongue out at you.
“We’re too young to get married! We have to at least be old… like 20 years old!”
“Ew!”
You laid like that, giggling and laughing as kids, until your mom called you in for lunch. Oikawa ran to the door (“last one there is a rotten egg!”).
Tumblr media
tetsurou kuroo :P: i heard that you’ve finally left the darkness and stepped back into regular life
tetsurou kuroo :P: hajime texted me sorry if that sounded like i’m stalking you.
tetsurou kuroo :P: unless you’re into that... then i’m totally stalking you...
tetsurou kuroo :P: PLS IM KIDDING anyway can i come over today. i have another hoodie for you.
you: you’re cute. i miss you too.
Tumblr media
You walked home alone that night. After a while of isolation, human interaction actually seemed like a chore. You just wanted to be alone, even if it was just for a few minutes as you walk.
You heard walking behind you.
“You can walk next to me.” You said, knowing exactly who it was. “I know you don’t have practice on Mondays.”
Tooru Oikawa appeared next to you in only a few seconds, jumping at the offer. The roles were reversed now.
“I don’t want to overstep boundaries.” He said.
“I know.”
“I’m sorry, again. For kissing you.”
“I know.”
He stared at you instead of the sidewalk ahead. You kept your eyes on the sky.
“I’m sorry for telling you that I love you, too.”
“Don’t be sorry about that.” You stepped onto your porch where Kuroo stood, waiting for you. “That was the one thing you did right.”

And everyone's like how do you have such a powerful so and can she be super famous and is like a really popular super hero and everything? Thanks! Love ya! ♥️♥️♥️ - @oxbunnehxo 
warnings: a lot of dying
notes: its done. it has a dumb fucking ending but i think it’s kinda funny so uh that’s that. 
taglist: @creator-appreciator​ @simonsbluee
           Usually, having Peter appear in your classroom was lovely, because he usually came with a smile on his face and open arms. This time was different, though. Peter’s smile was replaced by a worried frown, his eyes darting around and his voice low. He’s panicking, a rare sight in Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters. His hair is messy and his hands are shaking.
          “Peter? Are you alright?” You ask, concern lacing your words. He is absolutely not alright-- you can tell the moment he begins speaking. 
          “Uh, someone is c-coming,” His voice is rushed and uneven and he sounds as if he’s going to cry.
          “Who?” You’re quick to grab his forearms in order to calm him down. He seems settled but still panicked.
          “The, uh,” He stutters. “The entire U.S. military.” The silence that consumed the room was deafening, the cold claws of shock holding your mouth shut. Hundreds of questions raced through your head at once, but one stuck out in specific.
          “Why?” Your breath gets heavier and your heart rate increases as your mind races through thousands of thoughts. Peter can only shake his head as he sits on your desk.
          “Because this just happens to be one of the largest, most condensed mutant hotspots in America-- the government isn’t exactly thrilled by our existence.” He chuckles dryly, obviously trying to calm his nerves. It doesn’t work. 
          “We’re gonna be okay, right? I mean, I’m sure Charles, Logan, Hank and Erik will handle this.” You’re not sure whether you're trying to convince Peter or yourself with your words. Peter’s eyes refuse to meet yours. “Right, Peter?”
          “Uhm, actually…” He trails off. “Charles and Hank left last night for some big conference in LA, Logan has been MIA for the past week and Erik left me in charge of the mansion until he gets back from his revenge mission.” Your heart practically stops and your stomach drops to your feet. Dread fills your body as you process the information you were just gifted.
          “So… you’re in charge of an entire mansion full of mutant children… that’s about to be attacked by the entire U.S. military.” You state flatly. Peter nods, panicked tears brimming his eyes.
          “I don’t know what to do.” He whispered. You managed to toughen up, formulating a plan in your head.
          “It’s okay, uhm, we’re gonna be okay. Just-- uh-- get Ororo and round up all the kids. Tell Jean and Scott to try and help the younger kids. I’ll scope out the attackers and see what I can do.” Peter nods, a gust of wind blowing your hair back as Peter runs out of the room. He quickly returns, though, and hugs you tightly.
          “Thank you,” He’s gone as quickly as he arrived, speeding down the hallway. You wipe your palms on your jeans, a nervous sweat coating your hands. Stress is pumping through your veins as you sprint through the hallways to the highest balcony you can find. On the horizon you can see a large mass of people, two tanks on the flank of the group. Toughen up. You need to toughen up. They need you-- everyone needs you. You huff before whipping around and making your way to the common room. Peter is beside you within seconds, the panic in his eyes swirling around like waves in a storm. 
          “Ok, Jean and Scott are with the kids in the library, Ororo and Kurt are on their way-- how are our odds?” As much as you wanted to, you couldn’t exactly tell Peter that it wasn’t looking good.
          “Uh, they’ve been better,” You laughed uncomfortably. He grabbed your hand before speaking.
          “I guess we’ll just have to, uh, do our best,” You fought the urge to point out the fact that ‘our best’ probably won’t be enough. “What’s the worst that could happen?”
__
          Okay, yeah, this is definitely the worst-case scenario. The few X-Men present at the scene were quickly overwhelmed by the sheer force of their attackers. It was a quick overtaking, a few mutation-suppressing blasts sent most of your defense flying. It was chaotic and stressful and you soon found yourself reaching a limit. Someone grabbed you from behind, their arms looping under yours before they pulled you backwards. You screamed and kicked your legs, but it was no use. 
          One glance in the eyes of the young children watching you get dragged away ignited something inside of you. Your fists clenched, a bright green glow appearing in the palms of your hands. A white-hot rage pumped through your veins, a feeling that you didn’t recognize gripping your bones as a blast of energy exploded out of you. 
          For a moment, everything was still. The grip on your arms loosened before disappearing completely, a thud sounding behind you. Horrified, you turned around and gazed upon the sea of skeletons you created. The blast seemingly stripped each soldier of their… body. The skin, the muscle, the organs-- they were all gone. Disintegrated. You didn’t really care, though, you just spin around to check on your peers. Thankfully, they were all left unscathed. 
          “Hey, uh, are you okay?” Storm looks at you with a vague, scared gaze. She nods slowly. 
          “I’m fine, how did you…?” She trails off. Peter is by your side within seconds, an amused tone in his voice.
          “How the fuck did you do that?” Peter gushed. “Could you always do that? Like, you can just dissolve people? That’s cool as hell!” 
          “Woah, Peter, slow down,” You laugh. The mood changed quickly, the image of the hundreds of corpses behind you fading away. It was gruesome. “I, uh, I think I could always do that. I guess I just needed the correct circumstances to trigger it.” You didn’t turn around to face the consequences of your actions, you just basked in the benefits. 
          “We need to clean up the bodies,” Storm adds. You nod slowly. 
          “Yeah, uh, they’re probably going to send more people because of all this,” The reality of the situation sets in slowly. “We’re not safe here anymore. I-- I ruined it, didn’t I? I made it all worse, didn’t I? I did! I’m just proving their point that mutants are violent monsters,” 
          “Hey, we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it,” Peter reassures. “Sure, yeah, we’re kinda royally fucked, but you did what you needed to do. They attacked us first, ya know,”
          “I guess you’re right…” You sighed. Peter smiled before turning you around.
          “Now, we have some corpses to collect!”

Title: Division of Labor (3/?)
Summary:  
“The past years, we have noticed a lot of our fresh high school graduates knew nothing about responsibilities that await them outside high school and even college. Many students do not master budgeting, taxes, household planning, loans and we hope to raise a generation who can navigate the adult world without the consequences of bad decisions they are bound to make going in blindly…”
Paradis High school starts a program incorporating adulting into their curriculum and Hange and Levi are paired together.
Note: From request of @a-golden-hearted-snk-fan. See this link for the request
Other Chapters: 1 2
Link to cross-postings: AO3
It turned out Hange did think the housing plan through.  
"It's a rent to own contract...so after paying this certain amount of rent… within a number of years… we can own the house basically," Hange explained. Her preparation was evident in the wad of papers she had carelessly spread out on the table in front of Levi.
At first glance, Levi could not make sense of what those papers were. Eventually, by carefully scanning through the therefore, herewiths, in the events, the interest rates and percentages, Levi figured out they were contracts and manuals full of buying and renting policies of one particular real estate company.
Levi looked out the glass window of the booth of the quiet diner they had chosen to work in. He had tried to use the mechanical movements of the crowds on a commute home to at least help clear his mind enough to make sense of how exactly a rent-to-own contract worked. Levi was sure Hange was at least attempting to explain everything about the buying policies of the real estate company in layman's terms. Although Levi was somewhat impressed by the dedication Hange put into it, as soon as she started to talk about the policies and agreements beyond ‘we get to own the house after a while,’ Levi ended up spacing out. The prospect of spending, even if it was fake money, caused him enough unnecessary stress.  
He turned his attention to the two flour sacks who were propped by the window of the diner booth they occupied. He had purposefully turned their ugly faces towards the window at the small possibility that Shadis, Erwin or even Zeke were amongst the crowds of people walking through the crowds and into the subway station. A testament to their determination not to waste any unnecessary funds or worse, flunk the program
"If we catch you in public not holding your baby, you pay babysitting dues or you fail." Shadis had said in homeroom class that morning.
After some discussion as a class and with some confirmation from Erwin, the whole class came to the understanding that if they went out separately, they were in no obligation to take their babies with them. It could always be assumed after all, that their partner had their baby with them. Being in public with their partner meant someone had to have the baby with them or they risk pay necessary dues. At any rate, they found solace in the fact that if they were going to look like idiots holding brown sacks with shabbily drawn faces on them, they at least had someone to look like an idiot with.
Levi looked back at  Hange to see that she had not stopped talking. Levi was not too surprised, having the disinterested equivalent of a resting bitch face, he had to master the art of looking like he cared to get past most classes.  
“Where did you get these anyway?” Levi asked, interrupting the tirade of his partner. The answer to that question would at least be something he would be able to understand.
“The procedures manual and their company policies are available online.” Hange answered matter-of-factly. Levi noted how quickly she recovered from having her explanation of policy and business jargon interrupted.
As Levi looked once again through highlighted lines and messy scrawls, he felt embarrassed that he was not even halfway done with the design they had discussed the night before. He slowly brought out his folder where he had at least begun to draw the floor plan from the link Hange had sent him the night before.
“How has the floor plan been Levi?” Hange cocked her head to one side. Levi could not tell if she was provoking him or if she was genuinely curious about the progress of his work. Regardless, the way that she sifted through the papers under her, while looking pointedly at the roughly drawn floor plan on his hands had Levi self conscious.
It was Tuesday afternoon, less than 24 hours since she had bombarded him with messages. Less than 24 hours since she dropped a pdf file of the floor plan and went MIA, Levi guessed it was to prepare all the documents which Hange had just laid out in front of him that morning. As he compared his own progress to hers, he also became aware of one more reality, their first outputs were due tomorrow. Begrudgingly Levi had to admit, despite her naivete and overenthusiasm, Hange had a better sense of urgency than he did.
“I planned everything out already. I just need to outline it.” Levi said, trying at least not to sound as defensive as he felt.
“But can you do it alone? I didn’t sleep at all last night to get this done.” Hange looked more concerned than anything else.”
As Levi looked back at a skeleton of a housing plan that lay in front of him, he started to understand her concern. The house they had selected was huge and designing would take hours if he actually wanted to put thought into it.
“I mean even if we take out the 1800 from our budget of 3600 dollars a month, we still have to consider furniture and it might take you a while to come out with the pricing right? I guess we could leave out 1000 dollars for that….”
Furniture? Levi had stopped listening at ‘furniture.’ Somehow Levi had assumed that it would have been fully furnished when they bought it and they just had to rearrange furniture. “We’re buying an unfurnished house?” Levi had hoped Hange was pulling his leg.
Hange knitted her brows in confusion. “Did I say anything about a furnished house?”
                                         Division of Labor
“There are two methods of accounting used in modern day society: cost accounting and accrual accounting or as I’d like to call them: an idiot’s sorry excuse for accounting and actual accounting.” Zeke wrote the two terms on the board and plopped himself on the teacher’s desk. “Really though, why the hell do people still use cost accounting in modern society, it’s fucking stupid, barbaric, might as well go back to bartering…”
Levi had no idea what either of them were. As he looked around at his classmates, they looked as lost as he was about the mini rant that Zeke gave about the two accounting methods he had failed to define.
After a few minutes of ranting, Zeke finally noticed the blank faces of his students. “Okay Social Experiment.” Zeke cocked his head to the side. “Actually, let’s call it an IQ Test.  Jean stand up.”
“Yes sir!” Jean followed way too enthusiastically.
“You got the investment banker occupation so ideally you should be the most knowledgeable on money among everyone in the room,” Zeke continued. “You have zero dollars and I gave you 100 dollars right now. How much do you have?”
“100 dollars sir,” Jean answered.
“That’s a smart boy.” Zeke slapped his desk so hard, Armin and Eren jumped, having sat so close to the teacher’s desk. “Okay, so if I lent you 100 dollars, how much do you have?”
“100 dollars.”
“So, you’re gonna run away with my money? No plans of paying me back?”
Jean tensed up in confusion. “No sir. I’ll be paying you back.”
“Then is it your money?"
“It’s with me sir… So I think…” Jean paused for a second. “So it’s your money sir?”
“Tell me. The money is with you after all. Is it your money or my money?”
“It’s my money sir!” Jean answered too quickly, probably without even thinking.
“I lent you the money. I expect it back so it’s mine. Calling my money your money is practically stealing Kirschtein. I can call a lawyer on you.” Zeke narrowed his eyes at Jean for a few seconds before shrugging in defeat. “But you’re not a criminal. You’re just an idiot who relies on outdated accounting methods. Don’t take that with you when you become an actual financial advisor. Sit down. I’m calling someone else.” Zeke turned back to the class list on the teacher’s table. “Okay, anyone in this list with a finance related position...” Zeke’s eyes widened in surprise as he looked through the list. He looked at the class with a cat-like grin, his eyes focusing on one boy in the front row. “In my almost sixteen years of knowing you, I did not expect you to be suitable but it looks like you’re the only one in this list other than Jean with an accounting related occupation.”
“Really? It’s accounting related?” Eren had never been one to be good at Math. Everyone in the class agreed and as their professor hinted at his assigned occupation, many began to whisper, possibly theorizing as to what Eren had gotten.
They did not have to theorize for long though, within seconds, Zeke continued to discuss. “Okay Eren, let’s discuss your field of expertise --- insurance.”
Eren slowly nodded in return. It was a nod which everyone in the room had understood at first glance. Insurance was not Eren’s field of expertise.
Zeke did not seem to care though. “Case study time! I have 3000 dollars. Eren the insurance salesman sells me $200 dollars a month worth of insurance and I buy one years worth of prepaid insurance. By the end of this month, how much worth of assets do I have left?”
“By assets, you mean money?”
“Check a fucking dictionary.”
Eren sat down for a second. From his seat, Levi could hear some whispers from Mikasa and some clicks of a digital keyboard, or possibly a calculator.
“600 dollars.”
“Final answer?”
“Yes. Final Answer.” Eren seemed so sure of his answer.
From seeing Zeke’s face at the answer, Levi could not help but think, maybe phrasing it as a question was the better option for Eren.
“This is why your generation is so shit at saving. With this type of attitude, you‘re all gonna get into some shity Ponzi scheme with yourself and some sad saps who actually pitied you enough to lend you money without assessing your credit rating that’s just gonna continue riding on some endless cycle until you all go to jail or declare bankruptcy.” Zeke ranted again as he punched the buttons of the projector, turning it on. “ Scratch that. At this rate, none of you would probably even know how to declare bankruptcy.”
Accounting 101 . Those two words flashed on the screen, the contrast of black words in a default font to the white background of a hastily made powerpoint only getting clearer as the projector whirred to life.
“The amount of debt you can get into in the real world will fuck up your life. So to simulate the real world consequences of unpaid debt, we decided to make your fake debt by the end of the year one of the main determinants of your final grade. And we will be using real accounting to determine your debt. Any questions before we start?”
It was Sasha who raised her hand from the back of the classroom.
“Yes?” Zeke asked with shoddily hidden annoyance.
“So which one is cost and which one is accrual again, Sir?”
                                      Division of Labor
"I told you. I'll handle the accounting," Hange said. "We can make this work." Her words were not at all assuring.
It was Wednesday afternoon. They had submitted their selection for their house that afternoon in class so that meant no more takebacks. Their house plans were due midnight and Levi was not even halfway done. To add insult to injury, Levi was still reeling from Zeke’s lecture just a few hours ago.
Initially, Hange had suggested they buy the furniture in installments. The prospect of buying in installments though became all the more terrifying with the accounting system Zeke had introduced to them that day and the weight of a negative balance sheet on their grades.
As soon as you buy something and enter into debt, the money owed is not yours anymore. Levi shuddered as those words echoed in his head. He narrowed his eyes at Hange. "Really Hange? Can we? After deciding to spend half your salary each month on an unfinished 3 bedroom house?" Levi asked as he gestured to their next tall order that stretched over two aisles. They were in the baby's section in the supermarket.
It was their third round around that aisle, trying to look for a brand of diaper and a brand of formula that would not cost them a total of 400 dollars a month.
“I mean, we still have 800 dollars on groceries if we put our furniture installments budget at 1000 dollars a month,” Hange explained. “So if we spend 400 dollars on baby stuff, we should have 400 left.”
“400 dollars for a month’s worth of meals for a family of four.” Levi clarified. “There must be something here we could choose not to spend on.” Or maybe we could find a cheaper place to buy things in. Levi thought back to the supermarket nearer to his house and made a mental note to check it. The output was due on Friday anyway.
"Hey, Armin and Annie are here too!" Hange said enthusiastically.
Too enthusiastically. Levi clarified to himself. That was not at all good news. If other groups were going to that supermarket, that must mean they think they have the financial leeway to spend there, That could also possibly mean he and Hange had somehow fucked up financially as a pair, struggling to make ends meet. Armin was a studious student with a good head on his shoulders and he chose to shop in a more expensive supermarket. Are we spending too much?
"Let's ask Armin…" Levi did not need to finish his sentence. By the time, he looked to his side, where Hange stood or at least was supposed to be standing, the latter was already on her way to the blond boy..
Levi did not waste anytime. As Hange chatted up Armin, Levi made a few rounds through the two aisles again, his phone calculator on hand.
Just in case. Levi told himself. Just in case they had miscalculated the minimum expense of 400 dollars.
                                      Division of Labor
Hange had a long talk with Armin. By that point, Levi had lost count of the number of rounds he had made around the aisle. He had stopped counting at five. He had done his research on discounts and made some fake accounts and the expense still clocked at $390 dollars.
By the time he and Hange called it quits, the sun was setting. Hange seemed lost in thought and she had been that way since she had finished her conversation with Armin. Levi decided to take over keeping both sacks for the night. He made a small detour to the grocery store nearest to his flat. It was smaller, a little dirtier but it meant a little more room for spending and a bigger chance of saving his grade and graduating. Begrudgingly, sanitation became the least of Levi's issues.
He wrote out all the prices of the important items they had seen in the grocery store. When he got home, he made sure to write them all on a google sheet complete with weight, quantity and prices and sent the link to Hange through an instant message. For some reason, he felt a twinge of disappointment when all he received was a heart react in return.
Of course, Hange still had a lot of things to calculate. Even as they separated less than an hour ago, she had seemed distracted. Levi guessed Armin had told her something game breaking about the accounting process.
What did Armin tell you? You need any help?
Will explain soon. Send the meal plan and house design by 9 pls.
Levi managed to submit the meal plan by nine. He had copied and pasted from some random family cooking website, changing a few ingredients to fit what he thought would be cheaper options. He did not need to think too much of it either. He lived a life many would consider the complete opposite of excess and as a result, had mastered the art of improvisation when it came to food.
His main problem lay with the floor plan of the house. Hange had agreed to handle worrying about the expenses. That was one problem out of his plate.
Even with the money problem out of his hands, Levi found himself working until late anyway. Or not working�� Levi was only reminded of his lack of productivity when his phone lit up with a notification.
11:00pm
Hange Zoe
Where??????
Levi only realized then that he had gotten a little carried away with the problem of where to put the washing machine.
                                 Division of Labor
It was a genius idea.
That Wednesday night, only a few hours before the house plan was due, Levi had had fifty tabs open from German and Japanese house designers showing bathrooms and laundry room designs highlighting the novelty and practicality of putting the washing machine in the bathroom. Levi had spent hours pondering the logistics of making it work for the house design Hange had sent him only for her to shoot down the idea an hour before the housing plan was due.
They rented an American style house with a bathroom in every bedroom and the impracticality had dawned on him particularly when it was fifteen minutes to 12am and they were still arguing in chat over how to design the house. In the end, Hange had gotten her way, having brought up the issue of accounting furniture and the fact that they probably did not even have the financial leeway to pay for a washing machine anyway.
Having to deal with the disappointment of losing the opportunity to design the house the way he wanted to and having his unfinished design shipped off to Erwin’s email, with little regard for the effort he had put into the intricacy of both the toilets and the laundry room, Levi was a little pissed. He also considered the fact that he had respected the effort and detail Hange had put into choosing a house and had allowed her to submit a potentially overpriced and unfurnished house as their final product.
And she could not even reciprocate the respect for his whims.
Levi decided then to take a break from it all. It was a silent agreement on both ends. Or there was no need for an agreement anyway. They had finished their deliverables for the week by Thursday.
Everyone had ended up cramming theirs anyway and Levi found himself walking home alone and spending his time outside school hours bingeing whatever was new on Netflix.
By Monday, Levi had not expected to do much. Their breakdown of responsibilities was due Friday, 12am on Thursday to be exact according to the file that Erwin had sent. It was a one page paper with a few questions that just needed answering. They could easily start on Tuesday or Wednesday.
Levi wanted to spend at least just his Monday, peacefully, not considering the program which has been plaguing the start of their junior year since Shadis’ announcement just a week ago. He allowed himself to clear his mind, making sure to just note on his phone to start on the next output by Wednesday. Hange would probably remind him anyway.
He had deluded himself well into thinking the adulting program was limited to those once a week outputs. An announcement was made to meet in the kitchen after lunch for home economics class. His mood that Monday had him living in complete denial of what could actually go on in a school kitchen and for some reason, Levi imagined having a lecture in the kitchen was a completely normal expectation, even with the reminder to bring aprons and gloves. Maybe we just need to put them in lockers or something.
As the students filed in though, some of them panicked and that was when Levi figured out that something was not right. The counters were all lined up with ingredients. Some of the students had recognized the ingredients. Levi looked to Hange to see that she was blank on what the hell the pattern was behind the types of ingredients set out.
There were the essentials--- flour, sugar, eggs. There were exotic ingredients Levi could not even name or pronounce.
“Cardamom, Star Anise, Rose water. What the hell?” It was Jean speaking from behind Levi.
“I’m glad you see the pattern. I’m assuming that means you’ll all do well?” Erwin waited while the rest of the class filed into the room before he raised his voice loud enough for everyone to hear. “Today we’ll be having a pop quiz just to make sure you all know what you’re writing when you make the meal plans. In the tables assigned to you, you will see the ingredients for one of the meals you put in your meal plan. Please use them accordingly to make a full course meal from what you had submitted.”
Levi could not remember for the life of him what the hell he had put in that meal plan a week back

Chapter 15: Trickster Treats (Loki X OFC Pairing)
"You know, not that I'm complaining here, but you don't have to bribe me with chocolate chip pumpkin pancakes and pumpkin spice latte, as much as I missed those breakfast foods this time of year," I assured my best friend in the whole fucking multiverse.
"You have no idea how fucking bored I've been since you went MIA, I tried making new friends honest, but you of all people know how hard that is."
"Even in Salem where the weird are welcomed?" I asked.
Zari just nodded while shoveling crispy strips of freshly made bacon onto my already full plate. "I also think you need this, I know you don't extensively need to eat being dead and all but how the hell else do you recharge after kicking terrorist ass?"
"Mischievous magical sex certainly helps," I chirped.
"Is that why he hasn't come down for food like you did?" she asked, jerking her head toward the guest room we stayed in.
"Not as much as usual actually, we were both just tired and needed company over intimacy. Asgardians are fucking addicting, pun intended."
"Let's hope he doesn't wish he knew how to quit you," she teased.
I scoffed and shoveled more food into my mouth. "He aint never had it this good, the best thing about necrophilia is the dead can't say no."
"Jesus, woman, still with the dead jokes after all this time?"
"Always," I replied smoothly.
"So what should we do today while I got you?" she asked excitedly.
"Like you said, I gotta recharge and then I gotta celebrate properly since I missed out so many times, too many really, it's a good thing I got out before I missed it this year or I'd be seriously depressed."
"You're only really alive during this time of the year despite the veil between worlds being so thin and your death powers being strongest then, irony that is. So what was it like being in the Avengers company?"
"Kinda boring when I wasn't actively shagging the only other person on house arrest there, I'm not terribly into new state of the art tech Tony's all about. I mean yeah it looks cool and shit but like I've no idea how to use the majority of it."
"It did take forever for you to get a smartphone when the rest of the first world had been through like 5 at least."
"That was partially because I was under the impression I couldn't afford one or didn't need that much stuff just to contact people."
She rolled her eyes at me and scoffed. "Whatever, Ms. Slide to Text Not Smart Phone."
"Call me what you want but whenever I dropped that phone, the worst that happened was the battery popping out, let's see you drop a smartphone any height without a protective cover and see if it even works after that."
"Get with the times, woman!"
"Don't wanna!" I retorted and crossed my arms in a pretend pout.
"How the hell does Loki put up with you really?"
"I already told you, copious amounts of kinky and experimental sex, keep up."
"What about sex?" a familiar smooth accented voice interrupted.
We both turned to see a groggy looking Loki that shifted into his mortal form Tom seamlessly, a hand combing through his short sandy curls and a lazy smile tugging at his lips upon setting his eyes on me. "Zari wants to know why you put up with me."
"Put up with? Why would it be a chore to be with you?"
"My thoughts exactly. See, Zari, it's not me, it's you," I taunted.
"Shut up and eat your damn pancakes," she demanded.
"So orange is for the pumpkins everyone picks and carves into what you then call Jacko Lanterns, black is for the night of the holiday and the darkness and death that comes after the season more or less, white is for the spirits free to roam about, what about purple, I know I've seen some of that mixed in as well as green," Loki commented while we raided some more tourist stores full of holiday goodies.
"Purple seems to come out more in kid friendly type decor or even dare I say glitsy stuff I'd rather not. Green's also a bit kiddish but it also goes with the monsters and other characters people tend to dress as for the occasion," I explained, sifting through the sweatshirts that all had Salem something or other on it.
"And what's the most common costumes?"
"Well I mean every year there's always a select group of costumes that's all the rage of that year, like maybe Tony did something wicked awesome the world knows about so everyone's gotta be Iron Man that year, but then there's also something for the girls that's excessively popular but at a certain age or older it's gotta be either slutty or some other form of sexy because that's society in a nutshell. Dudes can be anything but chicks are just breathing sex dolls."
"That's disgusting, why didn't you people let me destroy New York when I had the chance?"
"What do you mean 'you people'?" I asked suspiciously. "You know how I feel about that city."
Loki picked up a rather cute looking scarf that of course was green and wrapped it around his neck then turned to me. "What do you think?"
"Lay off the green or go back to your real form, you can't have it both ways, even I know that and I never go undercover."
He scowled at my logic as he had made a habit of by now but put it back all the same and chose an orange one with black skulls instead. "As a child then, to your knowledge and not society's, what were the most popular costumes of choice?"
"I think even before I came into existence, the classic ones were: witch, ghost, devil, clown, cat, skeleton...those ones at least. They were the easiest to make as well if you didn't have the money or time to buy one and the economy has always been shit. Oh and there was the Grim Reaper of course, how could I forget that?"
"That was your first costume, wasn't it?"
"Nah." I smiled. "I don't remember much before I died, no faces or names or anyone really but I do know I was a witch...glad I can remember that much of my childhood. Ghost was the absolute easiest fucking costume to make but witch was the bees knees for me."
"What made a ghost costume?"
"Oh just find any old white or offwhite bedsheet that didn't drag too much on the ground or you'd probably trip over it half the time you're trick or treating, cut two holes for your eyes, boom done, you're a ghost, I sheet you not."
"Zari warned me you were fond of bad jokes and puns, I found them amusing but now I'm sort of wary."
It was my turn to scowl at this, he seemed to enjoy my wordplay till she had to ruin it. "She and I are gonna have words later about that, ruining my fun when I just got here." I snagged a comfy looking black and orange hoodie with a cute witch pun on it to purchase and snagged Loki's scarf as well to pay myself despite his protests. "Shush, Zari gave us spending cash since we want to stay under the radar and cards will fuck us over that way."
"I know but I wanted to pay for it myself," he insisted.
"Listen, this city is all about my favorite holiday and said holiday only has one law, trick or treat and since you are the master of tricks here, if you want anything in this city, it'll be my treat."
He opened his mouth to argue a few times before deciding he wasn't going to win what I thought was a smooth as fuck reply that should also be bulletproof too. "Fine. Well played."
"Jolly good, and thanks, been known to happen. How long do you think we'll have before we're found by either party?"
"Stark will hopefully find us first, I'd rather not be locked up again, I'm sure you agree there. As to how long...a few days give or take with his resources. Worried, love?"
"Something occurred to me just now. While this is my turf and I'm nigh unstoppable here, I don't want the other agents coming here and sullying my slice of heaven or Valhalla in your case and that's what they'll do, they're a plague, spreading and destroying everything they come in contact with."
"I can understand that, that's what I felt with Asgard before it went down in flames. What would you have us do then?"
"I don't want them here, but I still need to sort out the traitors, there's gotta be more than the two I saw there at the base. I'm also tired of being targetted, that's the reason I left the country in the first place and literally the second I come back before I can even touch native soil, I'm back to being wanted by the wrong people. This country sucks."
"The Avengers have already tried many times to nip it in the bud as you Midgardians would say. I'm willing to bet there's several more hidden bases off the radar we won't be able to find ourselves unless they want us too."
"What are you saying?"
"We won't be able to rid them of the world unfortunately, they've been around since 1940s at least and don't plan on retiring despite their old age. Although...what did you say about getting rid of certain household arachnids earlier on?"
I blinked and wracked my memory, wondering where he was going with his musings before it dawned on me and a wide wicked grin spread across my face. "If you can't kill em, make em wish they never came in. What do you know, you can teach an old god new tricks."
His smirk from pulling a page out of my own book went back into an unamused though half hearted glare at my last bit. "You're lucky I don't know how to quit you."
And once more I was the one scowling again. "You wouldn't survive the withdrawals, I'm a fever you can't sweat out. Also, it's rude to spy on other people's conversations. That's classified information you don't have clearance for."
"I'm a god, I have clearance for everything, silly woman."
"Eventually that card will expire that you keep pulling," I muttered, tugging him out of the shop and onto another while pulling on my new hoodie.
Outside in the heart of Salem, the cobblestone streets were damn near packed like Mardi Gras  in the South, street vendors everywhere, tourists and people that just bloody love the upcoming holiday getting it while it was there. The park across the street from all the chaos was busy with fair rides and games for the kiddos, fried dough, candy apples and fresh apple cider as fair food. This was my home, my heaven, if I died for good then and there, I'd regret nothing because I'd already be in heaven and there was no telling what kind of afterlife I was in for. The air was crisp and smelled of hay rides and apples and I couldn't remember a time I was more in love than I was then. I pulled Loki out of the crowded street and into a side alley between shops, grabbed him by his cute new scarf and snogged him passionately. Even in human form I couldn't get enough of him, would you blame me? He cupped the side of my face once we pulled away and studied me almost tenderly.
"This will be our place," he murmured. "Not Stark's, not the Avengers, not Hydra's. I've already watched one place I love go down in flames and I've already lost one woman I love fall before that even happened, I won't let either of which happen again, not while I'm still breathing. I swear it on my life. We can't let them near this but we can't run from them either, so we'll take the fight to them or die trying."
"Well, you might die, I'm already there but yes, I concur. First we enjoy our mini vacation, then we raise some hell and all the damned that comes with it. To mischief, to merriment, to manslaughter!"

Tumblr media
NAME: June Bixby
AGE: 28
FACECLAIM: Emmy Rossum 
GENDER: cisfemale
PRONOUNS: she/her
OCCUPATION: Waitress at Midnite Lite Diner
BIOGRAPHY
Daughter of Lauren Bixby and [insert unknown and absent father]
Her mother burned up pretty fast in town. Graduated high school pregnant, had June, went through several jobs and boyfriends. Eventually dumped June off at her grandmother’s doorstep like a package delivery and drove off. For a few years she would send birthday cards but they all dried up by the time June turned thirteen. Currently MIA though June suspects she’s probably ended up as some Jane Doe in a morgue in Vegas or something other. 
With that kind of notoriety on her head June didn’t exactly rise to the top of her school’s social stratosphere. She was a cynic from day one, a little too observant for her own good, and already on track to become a train wreck. Her grandmother tried her best. She took June to church every Sunday, enrolled her in catholic school. (The first of June’s expulsions. This one for fighting) But she was fighting a losing battle to breast cancer. 
By fourteen June was drinking, by fifteen smoking, and by sixteen she was getting her hands on pills. Adderall, molly, opioids she wasn’t exactly the picky kind. She began taking bits of cash from her grams wallet to pay for it. (One of the many, many, many things she is still dealing with regret for)
When she started public high school, she was thrown back into the loop with the people she’d gone to elementary school with. She knew of Sara, remembered her, but definitely wasn’t friendly with her. More likely she flew under Sara’s expansive radar.  
Her grandmother passed when June was seventeen. Just about a month after June was thrown out for bringing drugs onto school grounds. The family Victorian they lived in was sold to pay her medical debts and June was effectively homeless. 
This was when she fell in with the shelter community. She found herself odd jobs around town working as a sales associate, car washer, or pool cleaner. For some time she was able to keep her head afloat. 
It wasn’t until then that she really knew Sara. They were brought together by Oliver often on the very edges of town where no one would be looking for them. In the fields, under an overpass. There would be pizza, and beer, and often a lugged over boombox. And then they would start talking. 
She wouldn’t call herself any kind of support for Sara considering her own messed up life, but in any case she found herself actually liking her a bit. (And Sara’s friend Clover more than a bit) It was refreshing to realize that the whole town was fucked up, not just her. 
And then Prom Night hit on the one year anniversary of her grandmother’s death. June popped pills and drank until everything went black. She woke up in a hospital some time later after having her stomach pumped and with the news of Sara’s disappearance. And she knew immediately that the girl wasn’t missing, or hadn’t fled, she was dead. 
For the next seven years she had a rough go at it. Stretches of time when she was sober, followed by a relapse. She tended to bottle up her anger and force it toward things like activism. That’s how she bumped into Wren. 
She is currently three years sober, living in a one bedroom apartment in Holyoake, and working as a waitress. She has a burning desire to leave Holyoake in her taillights and move to Seattle or California, or really the middle of the ocean. Anywhere but this town. 
She lives with a cat named Crusty that she found in a dumpster. He’s her sobriety coach. 
Those close to her tend to call her Bixby or Bix for short.
THREE DEVELOPMENTS/PLOTS YOU'D LIKE TO TAKE YOUR CHARACTER IN 
The Anchor- I’d love for her to find something in the town that actually kind of makes her want to stay. (Maybe someone) She hates Holyoake and it’s facade so much but in the end this is the town that made her who she is. When she thinks of saving up and packing her bags though it’d be wonderful to picture that one thing that makes her want to stay. 
Home- June’s family’s home is in line to be demolished shortly and turned into a park. She absolutely fucking hates this. This is probably in line with something Sebastian’s business would be doing and I can see her wanting to turn on the activist spirit and stop her one and only home from being destroyed. Maybe even find a way to bring it back under her possession. 
Missing hours- June has no idea what the hell she was doing the night Sara died. She knew from getting her stomach pumped that she’d practically overdosed herself on pills and alcohol but the actual act is lost to her. She wants to figure out where she was, who she was with, and what the hell happened. 
THREE CONNECTIONS YOU'D LIKE TO MAKE this is in addition to the three on the skeleton
Wren- Can I have activist sisters please and thank you?! Just them teaming up to make Sebastian’s life a living nightmare. What a dream.
Autumn- Double shift, working for a living woman. As someone who doesn’t even give the fact that she’s bisexual a second thought, I think there would be some really interesting interactions. They can bond over their mutual crushes. 
Logan- I imagine in the past decade of odd and end jobs that June has probably run into and worked for Logan at different times. Maybe he’s a good influence, maybe not so much. I’d like to think that they hold the same offbeat kind of feeling where they don’t belong to any group in town or fit into the social norms.

How would UT, UF and US skeletons react to a S/O who got diagnosed with cancer or another deadly disease?
((Please forgive me if I couldn’tdo this… Justice? I’ve never had to  dealwith cancer directly affecting my life but I hope I could do well here? ))
TW: Cancer (Oh my god I don’teven know if that counts as a TW, I have no idea how to tag this stuff), Deathmentions, implied potential Mourning???
Undertale
Sans
Gone
I want to say he’s there fromthe beginning but he just… poofs off for a while
It’s the stress (and absoluteterror) that makes him do this. Sans isn’t the kind of guy that can handle thissort of stuff well and tends to chose fleeing over all else
He’s very much aware it’sthe worst possible thing to do, but he can’t stop himself. It takes a few daysof him being MIA (and a lot of time spent around Papyrus trying to check up onyou) for him to come back
At first insists thatmaybe he could find something, sure he hasn’t really used his PHD in a while,but he could… try?? Maybe just try anything?? He’s sure there’s a way to fix this???
He’s running through allthe stages of Grief at full speed. Probably tires himself out quickly
And hell be gone again ifyou don’t stop him—too focused on saving you he forgot that you were still there.That maybe this is something he can’t just fix
If you need him with you, you’regoing to have to tell him this. He’ll listen, he’ll listen to anything yousay
You, him, and Papyrusspend a lot of time together
(But he never tells youabout the nights he stays up far too late, working hard in the hope that maybesomething will work)
Papyrus
Out of all of them, is probablythe one that is most likely to propose/marry/bond to you soon after the news
Listen, its not justbecause of this, he loves you dearly and he was planning to do this at some point!(The poor little romantic probably already had a ring picked out) but with thisnew information…
(He doesn’t want to say itfeels like there’s been a time limit put on your relationship. But he feelslike everything could just Stop one day and there would still be thingshe hasn’t done with you! For you!
And he can’t— He can’tjust do them without you!)
… well! It called for achange of plans!
Little victories with yourhealth become huge celebrations in Papyrus eyes! And when you get worse… Itjust… Feels like the world crumbles around him
One of the hardest to talkto about more serious stuff, kind of because in his mind he wants to believe thatyou will get better! No matter what!
Underfell
Red
No nonoonono
He left that shithole Undergroundfor a better life, a happier life. And, now, a life with you
And it just feels like…like that world is still trying to take from him
There’s a way to make thisbetter, right
(Please tell him there’s away to make this better…)
He can’t do much to helpyou, but he makes life bearable.
A lot of lazy nights spentjust together, watching movies and cuddling, acting like the world has come toa full stop just for the two of you. He’s never in a rush with you.
Spends a lot less timedoing actual work and instead chooses to spend it with you
(Boss gets softer aroundRed, and oddly enough they seem to come to this silent agreement that aftereverything passes (Or the worst case scenario) things will be better
Boss will make sure of it
At least Red has someoneby his side when this is all over)
Boss
What’s something you’ve alwayswanted to do?
No! No this cant wait!!Tell him now!! He needs to know, anything, anywhere he’ll make it happen.
Stars above he’s going todo everything in his power to make sure you’ll survive this, but he knows the realitiesof it, and he knows there’s a chance you won’t, so he’s going to make every starsdamedday count.
Very blunt about it, hesaware of the situation and he knows where this all may lead but…
But Fuck It!! Not everyonegets a warning when their time comes and he’s sure as hell going to make sureyou two use it to its full potential!!
Oddly enough, Reds aroundmore. their conversations become more hushed and there’s less jabs takenbetween them.
(There are some things Bosscant tell you, but someone knows how to wring them out of him)
Underswap
Sky
Emotional support is histop priority
He’s there with youthrough every moment. Helping you through doctors’ visits. He even becomes wellknown around the hospital!
Absorbing any of the informationthe doctors give you two. Has a notepad and pen out jotting important informationdown
It seems like he’s taking it…overly well… controlled. And when you guys do have some less then stellarconversations about the future he’s either there to reassure you that thefuture is nothing but bright in his eyes! Or he’s able to keep from crying like…
Like he really wants to do
God this poor baby is amess when no one’s around, but he’ll keep it together. 
(He wants to say its for your sake but…
…It’s more for his sanity’ssake)
Pappy
At first, it’s like nothingchanged
He holds you just thesame, spends the days with you, he loves you all the same
But when the illnessfinally starts to take effect on your external appearance is when it really hitshim how sick you are, and that time may be limited
He struggles to come toterms with it, part of him wanting to believe this will be like any old humansickness that lasts a week and then is done. He wants to come home and see youOK but he knows that’s not going to happen
A lot of the time he’s tooscared to go to any doctors appointments you have, terrified that maybe this timethere will only be worse news
(And he’s terrified to cementthe thought of you dying in his head)
After a short while heshakes himself out of it and instead focused almost all of his time on you
This isn’t something he can save you from, but he’s going to try his bestto make sure every moment you’re here you’re happy  
(and a selfish part of him wants you to be happy with him)

- it’s over!!!
- oh my God. so.
- like, ultimately good show, the kids were great
- but who wants to help me murder an elderly keyboardist 
- the usual music director couldn’t be there today, and they knew that from the start, so this other dude has been here all week rehearsing so he could run the show today, so we thought it’d be fine
- he was. so terrible. wrong notes all over the place. the kids were mostly able to deal with it but were visibly confused and annoyed. but the absolute worst. the worst offense. was ‘One Step Closer’. he just.....played a random fucking tune. literally no one knew what the hell was going on. he was playing quietly too so at first we were like ‘oh shit did the piano mic die’ but NO- this man literally just fucking, ruined the entire song. none of the back up dancers knew when to come on because they couldn’t hear their sound cue. everyone was just standing on stage confused for like a full five minutes, it was awkward and painful to watch- poor Eric couldn’t figure out what to do or when to sing, he barely got half the lyrics out. the kid looked like he was gonna cry!!! it’s his only song in the show!!!! I was backstage later and he was laying on the floor looking miserable while his friends were standing around him omfg
- and LET ME TELL YOU WHAT MISS ARIEL DID
- SHE FUCKING
- I was trying to fix her mic at intermission and this kid would NOT calm down, and when she heard the 50/50 raffle music, despite being TOLD it was the raffle, she assumed she was missing her cue so she takes off running
- I was still holding her mic
- you know when you have a dog on a leash and it takes off real fast and drags you behind it
- that, except the leash costs $500
- FUCK
- so then I tried to get it back on her properly and I get back to the soundbooth. the act starts. her mic is hanging off her goddamn face because she fucked up the tape
- and there’s like...no fucking time to catch her properly between scenes in act 2 so I was just back there the whole time trying to grab her but THIS BITCJH RUNS SO FAST
- I FINALLY got her when she was doing her costume change right before she actually gets her voice back- get back to the soundbooth, she talks, HER MICROPHONE ISNT FUCKING WORKING!!!
- IT JSUT!!!!! STOPPED!!!!
- we thought okay fuck maybe the connections too loose or it got muted during her costume change but when I got it after the show- not loose, not muted, full batteries, SO LITERALLY WHAT WAS WRONG HELLO!!!!
- so she did the whole last scene with no mic despite all my dramatic efforts....I swear that girl must’ve invoked the Scottish Play like what the FUCK
- I’m still so stressed I just wanna yell sldksjdklf
- remember how I told you that we specifically gave Carlotta a broken mic because she doesn’t sing but opening night it was accidentally put on the Chef so last night I put it on the Carlotta and gave the Chef the functioning one like we were supposed to but then both the other sound guys got inexplicably mad because they were convinced the Chef always had the broken mic and wouldn’t accept that I was right
- remember this saga
- they fucking gave Carlotta the Chef’s mic today
- I couldn’t even find it in me to argue. but it was so fucking stupid
- the Chef started her song and they were panicking because no one could fucking hear her even though she was turned all the way up. they couldn’t figure it out!
- HUH. IT’S ALMOST LIKE SHE WAS WEARING A FUCKING BROKEN MICROPHONE. HOW STRANGE. HOW BIZARRE. IF ONLY THERE HAD BEEN SOME WAY AROUND THAT.
- IGSKDFJKGSWDJFADSLJ
- Triton introduced me to his vlog and Sebastian asked me to sign his playbill....I’m getting famous, guys!
- the trident literally broke in half and was being held together with duct tape
- there were kids playing Harry Potter with some of the brooms laying around and a couple kids had them like, doubled up, so one kid would be on top of two broom sticks and they’d both run together.....a Nimbus 2000 Built For Two(tm). amazing idea
- a girl I went to hs with showed up with her baby and my rabies simply could not take it 
- the fog machine worked today!!! without being a fire hazard! thank God
- like tbh...there could have been more smoke but. I’ll take it lmao
- one dressing room was blasting Mamma Mia and the other dressing room was blasting Spring Awakening lmao
- a girl said she thought Waterloo was a stupid song, I literally actually gasped out loud. in the other dressing room, one girl had never heard of SA and all the other kids were very offended by her lack of taste lmao
- *Ursula comes out on stage* * immediate deafening applause* 
- BY THE WAY all week I’ve been going crazy because Something about the eels reminded me of something else but I couldn’t place it but today I realized. 
- they
- they fucking
- they look like the skeletons from the David S. Pumpkins sketch
- I screamed
- right before we opened doors when the kids are supposed to be behind the curtain and quiet, all you could here was 63 tiny voices screeching “I’M OFF THE DEEP END, WATCH AS I DIVE IN-”. they did the whole fucking song, guys. the other sound guy was completely scandalized that so many little kids had seen an R rated movie lmao
- also tell me why they all harmonized on that song better than any of the songs in little mermaid? lmao
- but overall I mean! this was a show that certainly happened!
- the kids were all great though but. I’m glad its over and done with lmao I’m so tired.
- hopefully for mamma mia we’ll have a hot crustacean band(tm) that knows wth they’re doing
- but yeah....we’re in luck down in the muck that lm is over lol

I’m one of those weirdos who make massive playlists of video essays/reviews/whatever for background sound, so I’ll put a cut before my recommendations list, because it’s long.
Also these reccs are based on the content produced, if the people who made them did something awful or something, I’m probably not aware of it, and this isn’t an endorsement of them as people, just that they make good background stuff. Video Essayists/Reviewers (In no particular order): - Ross’s Game Dungeon (CW for outdated terminology sometimes) - TehSnakerer - ThorHighHeels (CW for gunshot sounds during outro) - Noah Caldwell-Gervais - Grim Beard (Opening skit is not representative of video quality overall) - Errant Signal - Designing For - Avalanche Reviews - Transparency - Matt McMuscles - Rerez - KingK - RagnarRox - AesirAesthetics - Raycevick - Whitelight - CyanLime - Micah Edmonds - MandaloreGaming - NeverKnowsBest - Strat-Edgy Productions - The Salt Factory - Austin Eruption - Indigo Gaming - I am Error, Charlatan Wonder - Liam Triforce - AntDude - Nafan - Leadhead - Patricia Taxxon - Lord Ravenscraft - I Finished A Video Game - Boulder Punch - Stop Skeletons From Fighting - thesummerofmark - DEMENZA'S GATE - Jacob Geller - Pim's Crypt - Warlockracy (CW for outdated terminology) - hazel - Bad Ghosts - Sophie from Mars - BadLad - The Nth Review - Caddicarus - Last Minute Essays - Jonii - CloudConnection - Paper Will - Marsh - Yuriofwind - Night Mind - coldcrashpictures - David J Bradley   - James Somerton - Phelan Porteous (CW for outdated terminology) - AdequateEmily - Xiran Jay Zhao - Style is Substance   - Ladyknightthebrave - Billiam - BREADSWORD - Big Joel - Overly Sarcastic Productions  - Nyx Fears - We're In Hell - ToonrificTariq - STRANGE ÆONS - Study of Swords - Negative Legend - iilluminaughtii - KnowledgeHusk & Whimsu - Slope's Game Room - MarcosHouses - Maggie Mae Fish - James Tullos - Skyehoppers - Bonsai Pop - CJ The X - BennettTheSage  (CW for old videos that have not aged well) - José - Mia Mulder - Technology Connections - Josh Strife Hayes - jan Misali - Folding Ideas - TREY the Explainer - Isaac Arthur - Tale Foundry - Curious Archive - E.D.G.E - Todd in the Shadows - Kim Justice  - Caelan Conrad - Sheep In The Box   - Thought Slime - Lace and Steel - Pamphleteer   - CritFacts - Shaun - Cass Eris Podcasts: - Well There's Your Problem Podcast - Srsly Wrong - Byte Marx - Flash In The Pan - It’s (Probably) Not Aliens - Kill James Bond

All of u following me who happen to see this post, please reblog or reply with your favorite video essays or like… soothing videos (people making things or cooking things), or anything that’s nice to watch when I can only lie still like a pupating caterpillar holding a mug of tea. I could keep rewatching my favorite videos and the full series of the Japanese version of “How It’s Made”, that’s been going good so far, but I should get some variety. Thank you!

Halloween Sentence Meme Fill
From this list, requested by @anitaww-blog​: And for the Halloween starters: “This isn’t one of those Santa Clause things, is it? I don’t want to know what kinds of presents he would bring.” Thank you.
*
"Oh dear God," were the first words out of Sherlock's mouth as he stepped into Molly's flat.  He hadn't even been in Italy for a week and it looked like Molly had moved out and sublet her flat to a combination party supply/ New Age shop.  Bats and antique glass bottles filled with coloured liquids and fake cobwebs and rustic brooms and—were those dried bunches of herbs?  When did she acquire a complete articulated skeleton?  He'd not seen that before, though why she felt the need to put a witch's hat on it was beyond him.
"Oh, you're back!" she said, popping up from behind the breakfast bar like some deranged shop girl.
"What the hell are you wearing?" he asked, wondering if he had, in fact, actually stepped through a vortex in spacetime and ended up in a different universe.  
"It's called a dress," she said, moving to the middle of the kitchen floor and holding out the side of the gauzy black skirt while her other arm extended to nowhere, the fringed shawl (also black) she wore looking vaguely like bat wings as she did an odd little twirl, bowing her back so her hair hung past her bum.  He tried not to stare at where the very low v-neck of the dress gapped and he could see the lace of her bra (even that was black) or at how the high-heeled side-button Victorian boots made her deceptively long legs seem even longer.  
Down boy, he thought, blurting the first not-creepy thing that came to mind.  "You look like you rode a bicycle through a clothesline in Camden Market."
She gave him a look that was the physical equivalent of a wtf? and yes, fine, it made more sense in his head because he'd pictured it like an old film, some kind of out-of-control bicycle chase complete with rollicking piano score and horrified Goth onlookers.  In his defence, he'd only had a nap on the plane and before that he hadn't slept in days.
"Why are you dressed like that?" he recovered.
"It's the Great Pumpkin, Sherlock Holmes!" she grinned.
"Wh—pumpkin?"
"It's from a cartoon.  The Great Pumpkin visits all the good boys and girls on Halloween night and—"
"This isn’t one of those Father Christmas things, is it? I don’t want to know what kinds of presents he would bring.  Probably something naff and covered in purple glitter.  And themed.  Halloween," he scoffed. "How very American."
"It was ours first, I'm taking it back.  Besides, Halloween is the one month a year I can dress like Stevie Nicks every day and not feel silly.  Well, not as silly as I normally would."
"Who?"
She spun again and looked at him expectantly; he wondered if she'd stopped by Baker Street recently for one of Mrs. Hudson's soothers.
"Nevermind.  How was the case?"
"Exhausting, ultimately disappointing, but it's one less favour I owe Mycroft," he said, finally slipping out of his coat.
"Mm.  Better luck next time, I suppose.  Are you hungry?  The ladyfingers should be cool by now."
He looked at the tray on the worktop and yes, exactly what he expected, complete with almonds for the finger nails.
"Oh how novel."  
"I've got mince mice and mummy breadsticks in the oven, if you can wait about," she glanced at the clock, "half an hour?"
"Sounds delicious," he said flatly.  He was hungry, though.  And tired.  "I'm going to have a lie-down until then."
She waved him off and he trudged up the stairs, wondering how they'd ended up an old married couple without so much as ever having kissed; mystery for the ages, he supposed.
He stopped dead in his tracks when he got to the bedroom; gone was the paisley-print duvet and the eight thousand coordinating throw pillows.  The bed was made up in a deep red velvet with black embroidered trim and draped in some kind of sheer black fabric somehow attached to the ceiling and wrapped around the bedposts.
Where had she been storing all this? he thought.  It obviously wasn't new.  He shrugged it off and stripped on his way to the wardrobe, only to find that the plain cotton pyjamas in his drawer had been replaced by black satin.  That was going a bit far, but whatever, he didn't care, he just wanted to sleep.
He woke up rather suddenly to a child standing over him with a knife; he rolled on reflex and the knife plunged into the pillow, sending feathers flying.
"You hesitated, Eurus.  Next time only savour the moment after you've successfully stabbed someone."
"Yes, Father," she said glumly.  "Mother says breakfast is ready."
"Mm.  Go untie your brother and make sure he doesn't wash his hands.  Wiggins!"
"You rang?"  He appeared from the shadows, looming over the bed.
"Do clean this up.  Have you seen Mrs. Hudson?"
"Inna basement, inn't she?"  
"Mm.  It's Thursday, I suppose she's summoning Mrs. Turner for tea again.  Honestly, I wish she'd just content herself with demons, ectoplasm is so hard to get out of the carpet," he muttered, turning this way and that in the mirror, deciding if his moustache needed to be trimmed. Wiggins held out his dressing gown, but Sherlock opted for the pinstripe jacket instead; no time for lounging this morning.
He went downstairs to the dining room, the table already laid for breakfast.  Eurus and Mycroft came running in, Mycroft covered in dirt.  Soil from the western corner of the garden, by the look of it.  Eurus did so love the family plot; he smiled fondly as he wondered who she'd dug up to replace with Mycroft this time.
Molly came floating in, resplendent as always in her hobble skirt and blood red lipstick.
"Mycroft," she scolded. "what have we said about grenades at the table?"
"Always pull the pin out first," he repeated glumly.
"That's right," she smiled, setting down a thick slice of chocolate cake in front of him.  She rounded the table to Sherlock's place and they watched proudly as their son pulled the pin and handed the grenade to his sister.  Eurus scowled at him happily before digging into her own breakfast of frogs' legs and balut one-handed.
"Wretched morning, isn't it my darling?" Molly said, laying a hand on the back of his neck, brushing her fingers through the ends of his curls.
"Absolutely dreadful, cara mia," he said, taking her other hand and kissing his way up her arm.
"Sherlock," she sighed happily.
"Sherlock," she said rather less happily.  His eyes flew open and he was momentarily disoriented; the material under his mouth was still black crepe, but why was he—
He sat up, blinking awake.  "What?" he asked, trying to sound more coherent than he felt.
"I said, it's time for dinner, if you're hungry.  Which, apparently you are, since you were saying something in Italian and gnawing on my arm just now.  Had I known you were turning cannibal I wouldn't have bothered with the shopping this week, I would’ve just brought something home from work," she tittered, awkwardly extracting her arm from his grasp.
"So you didn't redecorate your bedroom to look like something from a vampire film?"
"Noo..." she said, looking over her shoulder at him on her way to the kitchen.  "You started telling me about the Pope giving you a tour of the secret ossuary under St. Peter's and then you just passed out on the sofa."
"So you didn't make mince mice on a stick or mummy bread?"
"No?  I made a mummy's head," she said, directing his attention to the platter on the breakfast bar.  It was both creative and rather gruesome.
"Would you like to have dinner sometime?" he asked impulsively, their dream-children still fresh in his mind.  Every journey begins with a single step.
"Um, we're about to?" she said, scrutinizing him.  "You didn't forget to mention a head injury, did you?"
Bollocks, he thought.  So much for that.  "It's only a slight concussion, I've had worse from walking to a doorframe," he lied.  Smooth, Holmes.
She huffed a breath and rolled her eyes.
There was always next time, he supposed.
(The mummy head is real.  I know what I'll be making for dinner tomorrow night...)

Bullet Hell, Chapter 1: Resolve
Frisk’s new partner is lazy, uncooperative, and rude.  That might be fine in a drinking partner, but they have a job to do.  What happens when he doesn’t have her back at a crucial moment?
Next: Chapter 2: Victory
Click here for the story overview.
Frisk braced herself and fired at the shadowy figure looming towards her, grinning when she was rewarded with a screech of pain and rage.  She’d been out all night and her head was spinning from exhaustion, but she was still the best gunner in Haven.
A second shot - the last one in in her magazine - finished off the poor creature.   “Sans, I’m out!”
There was no response.
Stars.  The lazy asshole had run off on her again, hadn’t he.  She scanned her surroundings.  It looked like that was the last of the pack she’d been hunting anyways.  Frisk set up her recon beacon - a patched-together bundle of cameras and sensors - to alert her if anything tried to sneak up on her post, then shouldered her rifle and set off to look for her spotter.
He’s a valuable asset, they’d said.  He’ll be good for you, they’d said.  Filthy liars, every last one.
And...okay, it wasn’t Haven Command’s fault that Sans was the laziest person in the settlement.  If she hadn’t been paired off with him, she would’ve even approved; she could appreciate a guy who knew the value of a good nap.  Just...not when it interfered with her work.
She lifted the branches that helped camouflage of their temporary encampment and looked around.  No Sans.  That narrowed things down, at least; if he hadn’t come back to camp, there was only one other place he could be.  She opened her mobile locator and set off into the surrounding forest.
How Sans had managed to get into the Ebott Forest Patrol was anyone’s guess.  Frisk herself had gone through a pretty rigorous physical and psychological evaluation before she was allowed outside Haven’s walls, but that had been a few years back.  Maybe the top brass was getting soft.  Maybe he’d bought his way in.  It didn’t matter.
What mattered was that he openly and blatantly didn’t give a damn about the Patrol or it’s mission.  He didn’t care about eliminating the mutated creatures that threatened both the local wildlife and the citizens of Haven, didn’t care about hunting for food, didn’t care about the infection that spread through the forest a little more every day.  No; Sans cared about one thing and one thing only: his younger brother.
It was pretty sweet of him, she had to (grudgingly) admit.  He’d gone through all the effort of not only getting himself added to the Patrol’s roster, but also put on the same squad as his brother.  And he’d done it in a way no one could argue with.  Frisk needed a spotter who could see in the dark to be effective on night routes, and Sans fit all her requirements perfectly.
Too perfectly, in fact.  She had to hand it to him: he’d done his homework very well.
As she approached the site indicated by her locator, Frisk announced herself with her callsign tapped out in code against the barrel of her shotgun.  A tense moment of silence passed, then she got a response from just ahead.  She hoisted herself onto a low-hanging branch and was greeted by her squadmate, Tricia, and Tricia’s very much not-absent partner.
“Slacking off?”  Tricia grinned.
Frisk tried to twist her face into a pleasant expression in exchange.  Tricia was a veteran of the night team, and Frisk had a lot of respect for her, but it was annoying to always be lumped in with Sans.  Frisk was a very good gunner in her own right, with the best shot-to-kill ratio of anyone in Haven.  She’d wanted to make a good impression on her new squadmate.
Three missions in, and Sans had thoroughly put a kibosh on all of that.
“Looking for my spotter,” Frisk grumbled.  She turned to Tricia’s partner.  “Papyrus, have you seen your brother?”
Papyrus vibrated with some strong emotion - excitement, perhaps, or worry.  *No,* he signed, a little clumsily.  *He was here earlier, but he left.*
“How long ago?”
The tall skeleton shrugged.  He was coming along very well with sign language - his voice carried much too far for anything resembling stealth - but it was still a work in progress.
His partner thought for a moment.  “I’d say...about half an hour?  Did you check back at camp?”
“I did.  He’s gone MIA on me.  Again.”
“Aww, honey, he’ll show up.  Night patrol gets to everyone sooner or later.  It’s quiet out; I wouldn’t get too worried.”
“Right.  Well.  I’d better get back.  My beacon’s still on the fritz and I don’t really trust it.  Maintenance keeps delaying my repair request.”  Possibly because Sans kept pranking them.
“Alright.”  Tricia took a sip of water from her flask and resettled herself on her branch.  “You wanna use mine?”
“Nah, it’s fine.  I’ll do a quick eyeball search on my way back to my post.”
Tricia and Papyrus waved her off, and she set back out.
The night was quiet, as Tricia had said.  It was eerie.  Frisk, used to daytime patrols, hadn’t quite adjusted to how still things could get.  On the one hand, fewer non-mutated animals were out at night, so differentiating between the infected and the normal was easier; on the other, being human was a distinct disadvantage in the dark.
Which was why she was supposed to be with her spotter.  The guy who actually could see.
“Why,” she grumbled under her breath as she settled back into her post, “of all the gunners in Haven, did he have to be paired with-”
And everything went blank.
She awoke to the uncomfortable sensation of being dragged by her foot.  It took her a moment - and a few unpleasant bumps to her throbbing head - to recover, but when she did, she almost wished she’d remained unconscious.
The enormous dark shape of some kind of dog-like creature was towing her through the forest like a sack of meat.  She tried to remain still, but some of her panic must have alerted it; it glanced at her for a moment, eyeing her thoughtfully, before giving her a rough shake that rattled her teeth.  She lay limp.
Satisfied, the beast started dragging her again.
Frisk carefully took stock of herself.  Her headache was receding, slowly, but she could still feel the strange static that came from the aftermath of a psychic attack.
Shit.  Shit.  The area had been cleared of psionics weeks ago; it had been one of Frisk’s last missions with the daylight crew, in fact.  She pushed that thought away.  That was in the past; it was behind her now.
A realization struck her, threatening her composure.  There was a sharp pain in her ankle near where the creature’s claws were wrapped around her boot.  She tried to catch a glimpse of it, but the dark, heavy, standard-issue pants barely showed blood.  There was no way to tell if it was a scratch or something...worse.
On the upside, it was unlikely to matter.  This thing hadn’t eaten her outright, so either it was dragging back to a den to wait for her to convert into a mindless thrall, or…
...or it had a nest.
A nest meant babies.  Babies meant a growing population.  A growing population of psionics this close to Haven meant danger not just to the local environment, but to every man, woman and child in the settlement.
She breathed as deeply as she could, upside down as she was.  More than 50% of the Patrol eventually fell prey to the creatures they fought.  She knew that better than most, but it wasn’t the time to dwell on that.  The point was, she’d always known how her life would probably end.
Frisk was a member of the Ebott Forest Patrol.  She had sworn on her life to protect and defend the citizens of Haven from the dangers the forest held.  She knew she couldn’t defeat this beast - she was a small woman, no amount of training could change that - but she could do her best to take as many of its children down with her.
Assuming it had children, of course.  The whole infected-thrall thing was still an option, especially if it had bitten her.
After an interminable amount of time the creature suddenly dropped, dragging Frisk with it.  She gritted her teeth against the pain of falling a good five feet into the entrance of what appeared to be a massive cave dug into the packed dirt.
Thankfully, the creature had dropped her leg during the fall.  For one moment she considered trying to get away; it wasn’t paying attention to her, and she wasn’t that far from her campsite…
But then, she noticed the nest.
Probably a dozen eyeless pink monstrosities, each as long as her forearm, wriggled among a mess of tattered fur and cloth.  Her stomach clenched in revulsion; some of the cloth looked like the kind she had worn nearly every day for years, the durable material that comprised the uniforms of the Patrol.  How long had this thing been around?  How many people had it hunted down?
Well, there was no going back now.  She had to put a stop to it, or die trying.
(She acknowledged, deep in some calm and quiet part of her mind, that she was definitely going to die trying.)
Now, at the end of her life, she felt a few regrets.  She wished she had been nicer to a few people.  She wished she had taken Sans up on his offer of going out to dinner the night before they left.  She wished she hadn’t snuck that toad into Tricia’s bedroll on her way back through camp.  She wished...
Oh, well.
She breathed deeply and evenly, letting her training take over.  Her strength was nothing against the beast that had dragged her in, even if she’d been in top condition; she had to find another way.  She quickly took inventory of what she had on her.  Her locator had been lost in whatever psychic attack that had knocked her unconscious back at her post, which was expected but unfortunate; she needed some way to signal her comrades of the danger in case she wasn’t able to finish the job.
Her fingers closed on a flare.  That, she decided, would do quite nicely.
Her machete was still strapped to her leg, surprisingly enough.  She could feel the telltale pressure of her boot knives as well.  That gave her three weapons against a dozen or so baby critters.
Actually…
She slowly moved her hand around the side of her belt, praying.  Yeah, that would work.  It would hurt like hell without a gas mask, but maybe - just maybe - she could pull this off.
The largest of the creatures turned back towards her when she dropped the hissing flare, remembering its quarry, and Frisk knew her time was up.  Without hesitation, she pulled the pin on the gas canister she held and threw it at the nest.
The pain was almost instantaneous.  Tear gas this strong wasn’t meant for humans, or even the natural fauna of the forest; it was meant for the awful, mutated, infected creatures that the Patrol fought desperately to keep in check.  She nearly keeled over in pain as every drop of moisture in her eyes and nose and mouth reacted to the chemicals.
She steeled herself and dove towards the nest.  One gloved hand closed around a soft, hairless body, and she plunged the machete in.  As soon as it went still, she grabbed another and repeated the process.
Again and again and again.  Her gloves were heavy and saturated with ichor, the smell overpowering even with the tear gas in the air.  If she wasn’t so sure she’d be dead in the next few minutes, she would’ve been sick.
She didn’t know how long it took, but eventually she couldn’t find anything moving in the nest.  All the little bodies were limp and quiet.  She could hear the parent creature not too far off, still screaming in pain, but it hadn’t found her yet.  She held her breath, hoping against hope that maybe, maybe she could still get out of this alive.
One hand, still sticky from her grim work, felt along the side of the cave.  If she hadn’t gotten too turned around, the exit was-
There was the sound of thrashing, then her hand met a solid wall of muscle and thick, coarse fur.
Her eyes snapped open on instinct.  The tear gas stung like daggers in her eyeballs, but she couldn’t look away.  She could only watch as her death reared up in a mass of angry black, a mindless, corrupted creature roaring a pain and loss it could barely understand.
Then, in slow motion, it collapsed.
Time returned to its normal speed and Frisk was forced to snap her eyes shut again.  She could hear her heartbeat pounding in her ears, but after a moment, she registered the unusual quiet under it.
Sensation returned slowly.  Her eyes, the sensitive lining of her nose, and her mouth all felt like they were being eaten away.  Each breath felt like she was breathing fire as the gas made its way inside her.  Her ears seemed almost oversensitive.  The death grip she had on her machete was making her fingers go numb.  Her head was pulsing, her back and shoulders felt like one giant bruise, and that terrible pain in her leg throbbed.
She heard a crunch from off to her right and spun, knife at the ready.  “S-stay back!” she croaked, nearly choking on her own breath.
Silence reigned once more.  Then-
“frisk, it’s me.”
“What??”
“it’s, uh, sans.”
Another crunch.
“Stay back!!”
“woah, buddy, i’m not gonna hurt you.”
“Prove it’s you!”
There was a pause, then a sigh.  “i, uh, totally forgot my callsign.”
“Well, I can’t say I’m surprised.”
He chuckled, but Frisk still felt him moving closer.  She shifted, not sure where she was in the cave, and suppressed the urge to cough.  “Sans, stay away from me.”
“look, i know you don’t like monsters-”
What??
“-but right now, i’m your best bet at getting back to camp.”
“That’s not it at all.  I don’t...why even...nevermind, it doesn’t matter.  Sans, I’m as good as dead.  You need to leave me behind.  Tell...Tricia that there was...a nest here.  She’ll know...who to talk to about getting...a team out here to...do a sweep.”
She tried to say more, but she could feel her breathing becoming more labored by the moment.
“what?  you don’t mean…”  There was a pause and Frisk could feel his gaze on her, evaluating the way she was standing.  “wait.  no, no, no, no.  frisk, buddy, were...were you bitten?”
“Think so,” was all she could force out.
“okay.   okay.  let me see.”
“What?  No!”
“frisk-”
She tried to speak, but her throat seemed to be closing up on her.  She tried to move back away from him but she couldn’t make her feet cooperate.  All she could do was drop the knife, still covered in blood, and hope that the skeleton would come to his senses and leave before she became a danger to him.
“okay.  here’s the plan.  where are you injured?”
Frisk stuck out her injured leg.  *Above boot,* she signed with clumsy fingers, hoping he knew at least a little bit of sign language.
Apparently, he did.  “right.  i’ll just have a quick look and see what we’re dealing with, and if you aren’t bitten you’re coming with me.  okay?”
She nodded, feeling more helpless than she had all evening.  Sans was a green rookie on his third mission, and a monster to boot.  He wouldn’t know a damn thing about human field medicine.  Tricia would, though.  Maybe if he did drag her back, Frisk could pass on her warning and make sure she was...disposed of safely.
She was not going to return to Haven infected.  Not after what happened with-
“well, the good news is that this isn’t a bite.”
“Sure.”
“no, see?  well, i guess not.  but these are clearly claw indents, not tooth marks.  still puts you at risk for infection - especially since you’re covered in that thing’s blood - but you’re not a lost cause yet.”
He sounded strangely confident.  “Okay.”
“now, i’d like to get this cleaned out before we get moving, just in case.  lemme see...you set off tear gas in here, right?”
She nodded.
“then your water’s no good.  i think i have mine...yup, here we go.  hold onto something; this might sting a little.”
Sans was, as it turned out, a master of understatement.  A groan caught in Frisk’s throat, and it took serious effort to keep her leg still and not lash out at the monster who was pouring something over her leg.  No amount of pride could keep tears from cascading down her face as she fought for consciousness.
“Not...water,” she gasped out once she regained enough breath.
“yup, i had a bottle of vodka on me.  for good luck and all that.  field guide says it’s a great disinfectant.”
“Sans.”  She had no breath, she was on the verge of passing out, but this felt unbearably important to say.  “I am going.  To kill you.”
He laughed at her like she’d been joking.
“yeah, yeah, let’s get you back to camp, bud.”
The only thing keeping her from making good on her threat was the fact that he could teleport, and Frisk knew with absolute certainty that she would never make it back to the campsite alone.
Sure enough, three steps later she felt a wash of warmth from a campfire.
Tricia had beaten them back, it seemed.  “Hey!  You’re b...Frisk?”
“Hey,” Frisk croaked out.
“found her almost a mile away, near 2736.  she was in a den.  there was a nest of a-165’s: a dominant male and thirteen cubs.  frisk took out the cubs and i got the male, but that leaves us at least two females unaccounted for, from the size of the litter.”
“Alright.  Thank you, Sans.  Is she…?”
“she’s got a bad scratch on her ankle, but she’ll live.  for now.  i need you to radio it in.”
“Okay.  Papyrus-”
“tricia, you need to radio it in.  you have seniority and there’s no time to deal with the chain of command.  we need to get a team out here to scan the area asap.  frisk dropped a flare; if they can get a scout drone out to 2736 in the next couple of hours it should be easy to spot.  careful, though; she used her lachrymator canister as well.”
“Alright.”
It was strange, hearing the confident woman taking orders from Sans of all people, but Frisk could hear Tricia move into one of the shelters set up at the campsite.
“paps, help her get to a cot.  i’ve gotta get some water to flush out as much as we can.”
There was a shift as Frisk felt herself being handed off to a larger, more steady pair of arms, then she was moving again.
“I hope you are alright,” Papyrus whispered.  It was unnaturally loud for a whisper, but at least he was trying.
*Fine,* Frisk signed.
There was a bit of shuffling, and it took her a moment to realize that Papyrus was signing to her.
*Can’t see,* she replied with a grimace.
“Oh, sorry,” he whispered again.
There was a bit of finagling around the door, then Frisk was lowered onto one of the cots in the cabin she and Sans had been assigned to.  The other skeleton made himself known a few moments later, pressing a water bottle into her hand.
“drink this,” he said, urgently.  “we’ve also gotta wash your eyes out and change your clothes.  we’ll have to decontaminate everything you’re wearing overnight, if not longer.”
She did as she was told.  The water felt good on her sore throat, and she could already feel the effects of the tear gas fading.
That, or she was becoming inured to the pain.
“okay.  let’s see.  uh…”
“Here.  Like this.”  Firm, fleshy hands on Frisk’s bruised shoulders made her tense, but she allowed Tricia to maneuver her so she was laying on her side on the cot with her head hanging off the end.  A moment later, water trickled over Frisk’s face.  “See?  We’re getting it off her skin first.  Frisk, blink a little for me - there, see?  Little bits of water are going into her eyes.  It hurts us humans for that to happen, but the more water we get into her eyes the faster the tear gas will fade.
“Now for the other side.”  She rolled Frisk over and repeated the process.  “Now, if Frisk was more coherent and had clean hands, she could have splashed water on her face herself.  This is the best we can do for now.  Feel a little better, kid?”
Frisk nodded.
“Alright.  Let’s get you into some fresh clothes and cleaned up, then you can continue flushing your eyes.”  There was a pause.  “That means out, boys.”
The skeletons scrambled out, followed by Tricia’s chuckles.
“Now, lemme help you.”
It was not the first time Frisk had been wiped down and helped into a clean set of clothes while out in the wilderness, but it was still a little embarrassing.  At least she was finally able to get the blood off her.  She was still trying not to think about what she’d done.
“Gosh, kid, that’s a nasty set of scratches.  Did Sans take a look at that?”
“Yeah,” she croaked.  Breathing was starting to get easier, thankfully.
“Doesn’t look infected, at least, but we’ll have to keep an eye on it.  Wait a sec.  That smells like...oh, tell me he didn’t…”
Frisk grimaced.  “Vodka.  For luck.”
Tricia’s chuckles were quiet - probably a trait carried over from so many years on the night watch - but they were genuine.  “Oh, you got a good’un, didn’t you.”
“I.  Will kill you.”
“Psh, you couldn’t kill a fly right now, girlie.  Not without pants, at least.”
Frisk was summarily wrangled into her soft sleep pants, which were rolled up on her right side so Tricia could continue ogling the wounds.  A basin of water was pushed into her hands and she obligingly splashed her face with it.
“Well,” Tricia mused, “They’re deep, but nice and pink.  A touch of healing magic and you should be right as rain.  You got real lucky, kid.”
“Yeah.”
“What the heck happened?”
“Psionic, got me at my post.”  She opened her eyes experimentally, and felt tension bleed out of her shoulders when they tingled instead of burned.  She wiped her face with a towel Tricia offered.  “Woke up being dragged to its den.  Shit.  I knew my beacon was bad.”
“Yeah.”  The older woman grumbled something uncomplimentary about the folks down in Maintenance and their relationships with their collective mothers.  “Sans said you took out a nest of the things?”
“Yeah.”
“Shit, girl, remind me never to get into a fight with you.”
Frisk grinned.  Her grin dropped a little when she spotted Sans standing in the doorway, bandages in hand, looking rather stone-faced.
“Well,” Tricia said, patting her a little too firmly on the shoulder, “I’ll leave her in your care.  Paps and I will watch the comms, but be ready for a retrieval around sunrise.  Before, maybe, if they find any more of those things roaming around.”  She gave a jaunty wave and sauntered out of the cabin, taking Frisk’s contaminated gear with her.
Sans approached slowly, then knelt down without a word and began gently spreading ointment on the wounds.  It didn’t hurt nearly as bad as the last thing he’d put on them, so Frisk couldn’t find it in her to complain.  He was being more careful than Frisk herself would have been with her leg, propping up her foot on his own knee so he could bandage the wounds properly.
“Thanks,” she said once he’d finished.
He looked up, surprised.  “uh.  no problem.  it was...kinda my fault, really.”
“It was the beacon that was bad.  That’s my responsibility, not yours.”
“but if you hadn’t been off to look for me, that thing couldn’t have snuck up on you.”
Guy had a point.  “Blame won’t get us anywhere.”
“still.  i’m sorry.  i...i thought i’d been paired with a monster-hater, and...i really thought i didn’t care if you lived or died.”
“Why would you think that?”
“i know, it was wrong-”
“No.  Why did you think I hated monsters?”
“oh.  well, i’ve never seen you around monsters.  you’ve been paired with a human the entire time you’ve been with the patrol, which is unusual to say the least.  and...well, no offense, but you weren’t exactly friendly.”
“Sans, the day we met you greeted me with a whoopee cushion in your hand, then proceeded to sleep through the entirety of our orientation.  I don’t hate you; I just thought you didn’t care about what it is we’re supposed to be doing out here.  I take this job very seriously, and to see you act like it’s a joke…” She shrugged.
“ah.”  He looked up at her, searchingly.  “you can...uh...ask for someone else.  i won’t mind.”
“Cut the crap.  I don’t know how you managed it, but I know you’re here for your brother.”
“o-oh?”
“It’s obvious, man.  It’s the only reason I didn’t ask for a replacement spotter after our first mission.  If nothing else, I trusted that you cared enough about your brother to get him out in one piece, and by extension the rest of us.”
He grinned at that.  “well.  you’re not wrong.  still, it’s not fair to you.  you deserve someone who’s gonna have your back.”
“I’m used to it.”
There was a pause as Sans stood and put the medical supplies back in the first aid kit.  Then, “hey, pal?”
“Uh-huh?”
“what happened to that human?  the one you were partnered with on the day shift?”
“I don’t...you didn’t hear?  It was big news.”
“i don’t exactly get out much.”
“Well.  It happened right around here, actually.  My partner, Chara, well...she and I had known each other our whole lives.  She came from a bad family situation out north somewhere; walked into Haven one day with nothing but a kitchen knife, a locket, and the clothes on her back.  We always said we’d make it into the Patrol, to give back to the place that had given us so much.  We were best friends; we said we’d be squadmates for life.   That, in case you were wondering, is why I’ve never partnered with a monster.
“She was one of the best spotters in the Patrol, at least by day.  Lots of folks make a big deal out of the fact that I have such a good shooting record, but a lot of that was Chara.  We worked well together.  She had no tact and some bad habits, and I covered for her more than I would ever admit, but she could tell an infected critter from a natural from over a mile away, calculate bullet drop and airspeed, and tell me exactly where to shoot.  Her methods were a little...unorthodox, nothing that they’d ever teach in training, but no one could argue with the results.”
“you were on the wall sniper team for a while, right?”
“Yeah.  Some folks think it’s a cushy job, sitting on the walls all day, but it’s really an endurance test.  Chara never was good at sitting still.  It was her idea to apply for transfer to the field teams, and she loved it.  While it lasted, anyways.
“It was a little thing that got her, no bigger than a housecat.  Small enough that the scouts didn’t pick it up.  It was on her before any of us noticed.  I got it off her as quickly as I could, and she said she wasn’t bitten, but…”
“she lied?”
“She lied.”  Frisk took a moment to collect herself.  It was all so fresh in her mind, but it felt good to be telling it to another person.  “We found out a week later.  She’d been acting strange.  I could tell; after growing up with her, I knew when she was acting out of character.  I asked, begged her to get an exam.  When she refused, I took my concerns to the higher-ups.  They were...brushed aside.  Chara never was anyone’s definition of normal, and I guess folks thought we’d had an argument or something.  They didn’t want to table one of their best pairs because of something so small.
“Then we were doing a sweep through this area, just over in 2735, and she just...snapped.  One minute she was behind me like she always was, and the next her arms were around my neck and she was snapping at my ears.  Lucky for me she’s always been scrawny.  We had a couple big guys on our squad; even as...feral as she was acting, they were able to contain her.
“We got her back to base for eval, but I think all of us knew what had happened.  I got the report back two days before I met you, actually.  It was the bite.  That stupid, stupid bite.  It was small enough, and it spread more slowly than most; if she’d reported it, they could’ve at least tried to purge the infection.  Instead…”
They sat in silence.  After telling her story, Frisk knew she still hadn’t come to terms with what had happened to her lifelong friend.  She’d been running, transferring to the night squad and getting a new spotter, but she hadn’t made her peace.  “Sorry,” she said.
“huh?  what the heck for?”
“I realized...I’ve kinda been taking things out on you.  You didn’t deserve the way I’ve been treating you, either.  Sorry.”
“pal, you’ve been a heck of a lot fairer to me than i’ve been to you.  stars.  i...never thought...i’m sorry for calling you a monster-hater.”
“Eh, it’s fine.”
“and for leaving you at your post.  i...i nearly got you killed today.  i’m sorry.”
As much as Frisk wanted to tell him to forget it, that it wasn’t his fault, she couldn’t.  Chara had always been the one to hold grudges, and in her absence Frisk found her naturally easygoing nature beginning to harden.  It was Sans’s fault, at least in part.  If he hadn’t left, he would’ve seen the creature trying to sneak up on them.  That was his whole job.
So no, she couldn’t dismiss it the way she would have once, but she could do one better.  “I forgive you,” she said.  “Do you forgive me?”
“uh...yeah, sure, of course.”
She held out a hand.  “Partners?”
“friends,” he responded.  He had a good grip.
She could appreciate that in a friend.
“Well, I’m going to bed.”
“good, good.  i’ll let you know when evac arrives.”
“Cool.  And Sans?”
“yeah?”
“Maybe someday you can tell me how you know so much about these mutants.”
Frisk had the distinct pleasure of seeing a skeleton gulp nervously.

The Other Worlds Austin 2017 preview Day 3
Tumblr media
Design by tattoo and graphics artist David Poe
Returning for a fourth exciting year, Other Worlds Austin, one of the premier SciFi Film Festivals in the US, features some of the best and unheralded genre films. Beginning on Thursday December 7 at Flix Brewhouse, the four day event includes 16 full length films, a slew of shorts, and a screenwriting workshop. Not terribly surprising to anyone who regularly follows my writings, I’ll be at the event.
Here’s what to expect at Other Worlds Austin 2017
shows
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 9
10 AM – 11:30 AM FILM TALKS: PHILIP EISNER TALKS EVENT HORIZON BLACK HOLE TO HELL: THE USE, REUSE AND ABUSE OF ARCHETYPES IN SCIFI AND HORROR (AND SCIFI HORROR)
Location: Austin School of Film at Motion Media Arts Center Address:  2200 Tillery Street – Austin, Texas 78723
(Open to the public, but please RSVP as a courtesy)
Can the familiar still frighten you? How do movies marvel us with visions of a future inspired more often than not, by other movies we’ve seen? Join acclaimed screenwriter Philip Eisner (EVENT HORIZON) as he breaks down some well-travelled cinematic set pieces (haunted houses, mystical swords, blood-thirsty monsters) across the genres to show how writers build off memory to construct their own mythology. Featuring clips from a variety of films, this workshop is perfect for genre filmmakers and fans alike. Remember, where we’re going, we won’t need eyes to see.

From 1958 to 1963, a Sunday comic strip predicted the future. Arthur Radebaugh’s Closer Than We Think represents mid-century futurism at its most daring and optimistic.

Featuring interviews with designers Syd Mead (Tron, Blade Runner), and Rick Guidice (NASA), futurists like Kirk Citron (Editor of The Long News), scientists like Aubrey de Grey (SENS Research Foundation) and historians of mid-century futurism, this documentary tells the story of Arthur’s life and explores what it means to predict the future. A love letter to the mysterious illustrator from those of us living in his future.

This road warrior gets captured, but it’s not really about him, it’s about this bad ass woman, who liberates all these other women and drives them across the desert in cinema’s longest car chase. One of the most talked about SciFi films of the decade is stripped of sound, given a purple tint, and synced up to Deep Purple’s Machine Head album, Prince’s Purple Rain and Stone Temple Pilot’s Purpe album.  Roger Waters claimed Dark Side of the Moon was recorded without once thinking of Wizard of Oz, and were pretty sure no one ever intended this pairing either.  Badges only, no individual tickets will be sold.
