“Going dark — ”

-Cpt. Price

[prismaticpichu]

Seph and Zack try their hand at babysitting.

SQUEEEE!!! They would make such an awesome team…..! If they were babysitting a pet rock. Kinda. Maybe not. I’d give them 3.4/5 on Care.Com, would recommend for date nights but not anything too long.

“Honeyyy, we need someone to watch Sheldon tonight.”

“Not a problem! There’s a military base just across the sector, remember?”

Zack is SO into it! Oh yeah!!!! PARTY TIME!! He greets the little bean with a high five, down low, too slow and assures the parents that everything will be a-okay! He looked after kids in Gongaga all the time. He’s got this!

Sephiroth, meanwhile, nearly knocks down a coat rack coming in, assures the parents that he is well trained in medical if anything goes wrong, and recounts both parents’ mobile numbers, email addresses, and probably license plates to make sure they can reach them if needed.

Alright, mom and dad! You brought boot camp home with you. Let’s see what happens!

Zack’s first suggestion is to play a board game- they’re fun for the whole family!!! Sephiroth volunteers to be the judge, but Zack vehemently insists that Candy Land has no judges and he’s gotta play! He GOTTA. So the three sit criss-cross applesauce as they make their way through the wondrous sugar paradise until one of them is crowned winner. Sephiroth can’t exactly say he’s all too disappointed at coming in third place (though he really should have moved four spaces forward at Cinnamon City…)

Well. At least it’s over now-

“Charades! Charades!” The little bean jumps up and down. “Let’s play charades!”

“Heck yeah!” Zack fist pumps. “Charades is the best!”

Zack goes first, proceeding to flop on his stomach and curl himself alllll the way inwards.

“You’re a stomach cramp,” Sephiroth guesses, actually quite pleased with his guess. Turns out he was very off-base; Zack was a snail, and the 5yo child bested him at guessing it correctly.

“Mr Sephiroth’s turn!” the little bean says.

Oh. Oh no. No no no he was not—

Sephiroth’s taking stage about 30 seconds later. He prefers not to disclose the details of his card.

It’s dinner time!!! Zack and Seph have a quick chat about who should cook dinner, ultimately settling on Sephiroth when it came down to who was least likely to start a fire. Zack resumes his game of robot pirate invasion with the little bean as Seph gathers some eggs from the kitchen. Eggs were nutritious. Eggs were simple. Eggs were friendly.

Unnnfortuantly, the egg explodes in his hand when he tries to crack it. And this happens again, and again, and again, and AGAIN, until the poor guy is surrounded by a massacre of yolky eggshells. Sephiroth calls them into the kitchen abt 3 minutes later, three steaming plates of Eggos waffles fresh from the toaster. Compliments to the chef! It’s very tasty <3

It’s bedtime!!! Zack & Sephiroth make sure the little bean is all snug in bed, and Zack suggests telling him a bedtime story- just like Seph does to him when he sits at the foot of his bed (their secret)! Ohhh there are so many stories… so many memories…

Sephiroth approves.

“Alrighty, little guy! I have a story for ya: it was a bright and beautiful Tuesday… I had just finished morning warmups, and boy did I not know I was gonna have to get my finger sewn back on…”

Sephiroth does NOT approve.

The little bean is lulled to sleep by some gentle, quiet singing instead, sung by none other than the golden-voiced Sephiroth as Zack falls asleep on his shoulder <3 The parents return home to find the little bean snug as a bug in bed, and Sephiroth accepts their money on behalf of the knocked-out Zack���who is still very snuggly draped over his shoulders.

Welp, back to work tomorrow. That was an… experience. One that was worth it though, if it meant that Zack could have a slice of his old life in Midgar <3 <3

…

…..OH IFRIT’s HANDBAG. He forgot to clean up the kitchen-

Veterans Day: Honoring Our Heroes and Supporting Their Legacy

By, Junior A Goizueta Veterans Day, observed annually on November 11, is a significant day in the United States dedicated to honoring military veterans who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces. Unlike Memorial Day, which honors those who died in service, Veterans Day celebrates the service of all U.S. military veterans, both living and deceased. This day provides an opportunity for Americans to…

Hogwarts and West Point: Unveiling the Shared Virtues of Magical and Military Academies

In a world where tradition and timeless virtues lay the foundation for growth and leadership, two academies stand as beacons for shaping character and courage: Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and the United States Military Academy at West Point. While one belongs to the magical realm and the other to the realm of discipline and duty, the principles that drive students at both…

The Unexpected Hurricane Drill: A Lesson in Resource Management and Readiness

Have you ever been caught off guard by a situation that taught you an invaluable lesson? While stationed on the East Coast, our Maintenance Officer began approving all leave requests, school requests, and other requests we brought to him as section leaders, even though it meant our Marines would frequently be out of the office. He quietly waited for a day when we were severely…

Here is the scripture the LORD provided afterwards:

Interestingly God was speaking of the Canadian government which has “ministries” however this applies for those who are in Ministry.

When we act dishonourably, you are causing others to stumble which means you are causing them HARM.

I have to say this person was cold and calculating but on the outside appears meek and kind and this caught everyone by surprise. Based on this scripture you can see that this is a BETRAYAL. A set up.

Something is about to UNFOLD and it will come as a surprise 😮

Also the colours *RED & BLUE* could mean something to a group of people.

🟦🟥

The Handkerchief

Just to be CLEAR the handkerchief was plain red but then I saw the bandana and wow. Do you understand what the LORD is saying here??? 👀

PS. May the LORD protect what you and your teams are working on. When a thief is caught they have to pay the victims back 7x. This person will be “caught”. FYI.

To take credit for someone’s else’s work IS THEFT.

This also applies to stolen destiny’s. For some of you someone tried to steal your life as the LORD has recently been sharing with us.

There’s something going on with HAIR. I’ve been seeing several visions of this. I saw a man with dreads who’s hair I was trying to comb 🪮 a PM who was combing the hair of a biracial girl (his daughter in the vision - who at first I thought was me as a child) and TODAY the LORD showed me the ends of a woman with beautiful longggggggg blonde hair getting ready to be cut ✂️ I also saw someone walking with scissors in her hand getting ready to stab someone. Be wary of the DELIAH’s in your lives (male or female), my loves. Yes, this message is for you, too.

I’m a BIG fan of the IDF and Israel 🇮🇱 so I pray it works in their favour 🙏🏾

Photo Credit to the IDF 😂

Stay strong BABES. I am interceding 🙏🏾

PPS. I did see something else about a ministry leader with 30 pieces of silver in a net tucked inside her white long jacket. These were three coins 🪙 God showed her and directed her to take from the fishes mouth similar to Peter. She was going to use the same FUNDS given to her by the LORD to betray someone else as in the case of Judas. Remember why God said he’s taking some ministries DOWN.

One of my personal nitpicks for historical fantasy is a lack of servants, staff, subordinates, and... idk... subjects? Like, their absence is not... a total dealbreaker for me, depending on the situations the characters are in and whether or not I can just assume that other people are there in the background... but so many of the protagonists in historical fantasy stuff are higher-ranking (very often royalty), and/or have busy jobs, and/or have enormous houses that would necessitate having at least part-time staff.

Like, girl, you should have a maid! WHERE is your chaperone?! WHO is driving this carriage?! Where are your footmen? Are you trying to imply that a WEALTHY DUCHESS is taking a CAB?! You know that you probably have tenants, right? Where is your steward?! Where is your lawyer? Your accountant?! (Like, yeah, you're not going to have your lawyer living in your house, but you HAVE one, right???)

Or, man, you're supposed to be a military commander and you don't even have a single secretary?! Where is your SQUIRE?! (In the spirit of historical fiction, I am jumping wildly across time periods with every sentence here.) Man, I know you aren't looking after your own boots. Where are your GUARDS?! Who set up this tent for you?! Who is looking after your horse?! Who is making and carrying the incredibly valuable maps people are recklessly stabbing daggers into?!

SOMEONE has to be scrubbing these floors and delivering the mail and cooking the meals and doing laundry, and they're probably all DIFFERENT people! My dentist has at least three different receptionists and we can't even get ONE for our court wizard here? A sorcerer's apprentice to take notes? Someone like Sherlock Holmes could get away with just having a housekeeper and taking taxis, sure, but your character is supposed to be a KING?! Why is he answering his own front door? He's going to get assassinated. His SERVANTS should have SERVANTS.

Like, yes, I understand that a lot of servants in certain places at certain times were supposed to make their labor invisible, but there have always been servants who still had to interact directly with the masters of the house?! Yeah, there are potentially really messy ethics here, class divisions are bullshit, but I don't think that completely ignoring the reality that humans have ALWAYS been doing work for other humans is better than just including some well-paid and well-treated servants and employees? Because a complete absence of them, especially where logically for the worldbuilding there MUST be servants (and probably exploited servants, or worse, for some particular worldbuilds to work), often makes me think that your main characters just don't care enough to notice the "lower class" people or know their names.

Also, even Frodo Baggins had a gardener and Samwise Gamgee might be the best damn character in the story?! Sam saved the world?! Servants are PEOPLE. Servants are often the funniest and most interesting characters, tbh, with the most to say about a society and its workings (yes, Discworld is a very good book series, highly recommend), and also the joke of some romantic scene being carefully orchestrated by a stage crew of servants frantically diving into bushes to stay out of sight never gets old to me. Teamwork makes the dream work!

I don't want to gatekeep historical fiction, especially not historical fantasy, because the worlds don't necessarily have to conform to our own and may have magic and characters are often in very unique circumstances, but... sometimes I pick up a story and it's like... "Author, please tell me that you know there is a difference between a butler and a valet?!"

Veterans: Breaking the Stigma & Recognizing Their Strengths

Just Because Training… What is it like to be a dangerous person? Civilians often think that because military veterans are oftentimes trained to kill and/or be killed, they are dangerous. In the military, most branches learn to shoot real guns, with real bullets, with very real consequences. We have all seen the movies where the basic trainee becomes irrational and kills the drill sergeant. This…
