ok i'm thinking about my octo ocs and how they would interact with the octopath 1 and 2 groups. i physically cannot shut up about them i'm sO SORRY—

the merchants: orietta is definitely more jaded than tressa and partitio, and is their self-proclaimed mentor in the ways of life and of the trade. the other two definitely don’t agree with ori’s methods, but appreciate her reverence for her community and dedication to the less fortunate. ori is disappointed tressa isn’t a girly-girl like her and that she does not take kindly to being treated like a dress-up doll.

the scholars: at first, camil is anxious to open up about her run-in with dark magic to her fellow scholars. but if anything they’re fascinated by the way she was able to break that terrible spell. osvald kinda reminds camil of her own father (without the whole “framed for murder” thing). cyrus picks her brain about similarities between spirepeak academy and his own university, wondering if visiting would be a worthwhile experience for him.

the apothecaries: since alfyn and castti are a lot more experienced apothecaries than tybalt is, he asks a Lot of questions. questions that they’re both more than willing to answer, of course! tybalt and alfyn become drinking buddies while castti keeps them out of trouble. tybalt is also told to give the others a glowing review of the arcas adventurer’s guild; they’re always looking for new members!

the dancers: honestly the other dancers think oliver is just adorable, and all the attention gets overwhelming for him. he probably cries the first time primrose opens up about her journey, and he’s very inspired by agnea’s positivity. he invites them both to valleycross’s famous flower festival, where agnea has a great time as expected, but primrose seems a little harder to please (she also has a great time).

the warriors: there’s of course a lot of recounting battle stories over drinks with them, but also a lot of (slightly drunken) philosophical conversations. penelope felt awkward at first because she has absolutely no connection to royalty the way a former royal knight or actual king do, but drops it very quickly when told they don’t care for titles or formalities between friends.

the hunters: h’aanit, ochette, and andreas get along great (andreas is very interested in visiting s’warkii and toto’haha), but it turns out glen feels a little self-conscious around the other animal companions. glen isn’t a fierce snow leopard or a magical owl/jackal—he’s just a regular dog. but the older and wiser linde and mahina/akala are quick to calm his doubts and remind him the he is, in fact, a very good boy.

the clerics: twyla loves the other clerics very much. she and ophilia are instant besties, talking for hours about their families and cute, girly things, and she loves getting to talk about law and philosophy with temenos. though it’s not an official role in twyla’s church, she is quite interested in temenos’s role as inquisitor, and brings the idea to her mother for her consideration.

the thieves: they all have a sort of brotherly camaraderie with each other, seeing as they all have little to no familial ties, and thieves often can’t trust anyone but other thieves. they bond more over their shared professions than their personalities, and while throné let go of the thief life altogether, therion and hawkin continue to compete over who the best thief really is.

3rd March 1981, 10H04 PM PDT

Yirina 'Bell' Grigoriev, Ex-KGB, Perseus

Bell's bedroom in the Perseus safehouse "Hidden Angel", Los Angeles, USA

It has to be a dream...it has to be...why did that picture was showing me with that Park for real?...are those dreams I'm making...real? If yes, what...how...why? Was it real...or just my head trying to tell me that? I know that I'm not myself since I got up from that one-month coma and that there are side effects but...they're feeling very weird for me and frequent since...that West-Berlin mission we did days ago...I should maybe try to stop thinking about it...I should stop thinking about them but even I knows that I was lying, I could know that at the moment I woke up, opening my eyes to be greeted by the outside's light of the sun.

The sounds of some birds singing outside made me actually moves out of my bed, my head still confused about the last night moment with Freya near that lake & what happened after while no one was around in the main room. At the moment, I would have like to stay inside my room to get my thoughts away for the moment but that isn't helpful since there's always something that made me remind of them so I gave up on that idea, resigning to dress up in new clothes, putting the old ones away and be good to go out of my bedroom, wondering who will be the first one to speak to me once I got my feet inside the bedroom.

When I entered it, there was only Bellamy at his usual desk but he was having some headsets around his head, probably listening to his rock or metal music and trying to sing along with them and it was better for me to let him be in his thing for the moment as I decide to go get a coffee at the kitchen space of the warehouse and for the first time since I'm back on work, I could make a coffee for myself without actually having anyone doing it for me and according to me, it was very strange that I never had the chance to do my own coffee without having someone doing it for me before I could do it. It was strange but now, I was able to enjoy something that could maybe get my head a bit clear even if the coffee was tasting differently...maybe another brand.

I moved towards my desk to get to work but just by looking at it and seeing that there were nothing on it except my tools and a few files that I have already completed, getting sit on my chair wouldn't be something I want to do now and it caused me to try to find a distraction and none other than Bellamy could help me to...pass the time for the moment as there were no one else I could make a little talk or apologizing to Knight since what happened two days. So, I kept my cup of coffee in my hands before moving to reach Bellamy by behind, him still listening to his music with his headset.

"Bellamy?" I whispered with a low voice but with the sound of my voice, it was sure that he wasn't going to hear me so, I decided to move my left hand to tap him over his left shoulder."Bellamy," I said, this time with a better voice than before but the tapping over his shoulder caused him to almost jumping in a scare off the chair.

"What the..." He tried to say in a panic, going off his chair after removing in a fast move his headset off his head before his blue eyes came to see me. "Oh...it's...you," He took a breath after putting his head over his heart. "You could have done something else than tapping me hard on the shoulder," He remarked with a joking tone, going back on his chair.

"Like what?" I demanded, raising an eyebrow with a smirk on my face.

"I don't know, walk at my sight or..." He pointed out in front of him, only making me see...the wall, his desk was in fact put against a wall at a few meters from the dashboard, him stopping to talk when his eyes met the wall.

"You wanted me to...get up on your desk and see you from higher?" I scoffed, finding myself inside a bit better than before, to be honest as Bellamy rolls his eyes around, looking annoyed.

"Very funny, Bell," He mumbled, still joking in his voice before his eyes went back on me. "So..." He started before he looks at my cup of coffee in my right hand, narrowing his eyes at it. "You made yourself a coffee?" He demanded.

"Of course," I replied with a smile before I took a sip from the cup, looking away for a second from him. "Is there...a problem about it?" I asked him, sounding a bit curious to know why his face wasn't normal at this...action.

"Oh, not at all, it's just that..." He started, scratching the back of his head, his eyes trying to avoid me. "I thought that someone would have prepared to you but I should have known that before," He remarked.

"Really? How?" I questioned him.

"Well, at first, it's always us making your coffee since you're always having your nose in paperwork and because also that Wraith is out making a call and Knight is still in town, maybe with a friend...or maybe someone very...very close to him," He answered, giving me at the same time, the whereabouts of the others and also, the thing that everyone else except me was making my coffee.

"You don't know where he is in fact?" I suggested and he shook his head.

"Nope, he said that someone that helped Naga & Jackal back at the Yamantau came in town for him so he left to see that person," He replied, his hands going on his lap, looking in a thinking mood...something that I never saw since I saw him back. "And before you ask, no, he didn't say who it was," He added, having guessed that this question was going to come over.

"I just want to apologize to him for my behavior," I told Bellamy, leaning against his desk behind me.

"Don't worry, it will pass," Bellamy assured, sounding mostly normal for a piece of advice like that before a silence went between the two of us, nothing coming out of our mouth to say something to relaunch a conversation, making this moment very...uncomfortable for the moment. "So...what do you want to talk about?" He demanded, breaking the silence.

"I don't know," I said, shrugging my shoulders at him.

"Yeah, me neither," He told me in the same tone I used, making me try to think about a topic that we could talk about without having to create weird silences...

"Uhm..." I scratched the back of my head, keeping my cup in my left hand. "What about...the nicknames that you're struggling to have for you..." I proposed, remembering that confusing moment at that safe house in Colorado. "What it was?...Azrael? Cerberis? Ori? Something like that?" I tried to remind you of those.

"Cerberus and Oni, Bell," He corrected me, raising his left index finger slightly before putting it down. "No, I'm still struggling to find the better one, it's so hard to think about a good one that you will keep for a great part of your life...like you been 'Bell'" He explained, adding a comment about me.

"I still don't know how I got it, to be honest," I commented with a grin.

"Long story, Bell, long story," He admitted, making a little laugh about that, a little curious inside of me to wonder how I become Bell. "So, for you, what do you like? Azrael, Cerberus or Oni?" He asked me

"As if I know what you want," I scoffed, taking a sip from my coffee before finishing its remains from the cup. "You should find it by yourself, take the one that defines you the most, something that you'll like to keep," I suggested at my best on this subject as Bellamy was listening to me. "Don't be asking others about it, it should be something that you should try to find by yourself," I repeated before my eyes moved at the main door of the safe house opening and seeing Freya getting inside as her head was looking towards us before going to our direction.

"Bell, you're awake," She said with a smile as she was arriving at us, Bellamy turning his body around on his chair to look at her. "What you're talking about?" She demanded with a curious tone, her eyes drifting between me & Bellamy.

"You know, personal things," Bellamy responded before I could do. "Talking about some things we're been struggling about...as if staying in that shithole," He remarked as he starts to look around him at the safe house.

"Don't worry, you ain't going to stay here any longer," Freya told us in a sort of happy voice, making me & Bellamy's eyes going wide at her words. "Got a call from Stitch, we're moving away from here, the rogue cell case is going to our men in San Francisco, we got better things to do," She revealed.

"Oh fuck, yes!" Bellamy sighed in a happy mood.

"Where?" I asked, curious.

"Well...we're just going to the East Coast...at Langley!" She announced, my eyes staying wide at these words as Bellamy's mood changed...a bit.

"Oh, come on!" He argued, sounding rather changed to know that. "Why are we staying in the US?"

"The mission that Naga & Jackal did was a success but only for a part of it," Freya explained, crossing her arms as I could see with a little grin each time her eyes were on me. "They got the data on the Numbers Program secured but nothing on Greenlight, our experts said that we don't have any big leads...except one now,"

"Wait, you said...Langley, right?" Freya nodded at Bellamy's words before he rolls his eyes. "Are you telling us that...we're going to the very place that the whole CIA is?" Freya nodded again.

"We leave in the afternoon, a plane will take us at one of our runways not far from here, should be there for next day," She declared, putting her arms in a normal position before she went to look at me fully. "Bell, can we talk?" She demanded and Bellamy didn't say a word that he was already having his headset back on his head.

"Uhm...sure, we can," I answered, unsure to be honest about it. "I just need to go wash my cup," I told her, showing her the empty cup in my hand.

"Of course, it's just for a few minutes," She affirmed before I start to walk away from Bellamy's desk, leaving him alone to his music as I was going to the kitchen space of the main room, Freya following me a little before she stops at her desk.

I don't know why but I was felt watched when I arrived near the little sink of the kitchen space and my doubts were confirmed when I turn my head around and saw Freya's brown eyes overlooking me at her desk, leaned against it, and looking in a waiting position for the talk. This made me blush a bit to that as I was looking away to wash the cup I used for the coffee while some stress was a bit going up inside of me...just to think about what happened between me & her last night.

Once that the cup was cleaned up and put on the right side of the sink, I was having a feeling that...I was just scared to talk to her for what she did, fearing that she did take badly my remarks about her advances with me but her kiss was very nice to feel, it's just that she was going too fast at the moment but a few reflections of myself made me change my mind about it and to go talk to her, removing my hands from the counter to see her and talk about this...if it was going to be the topic of what she wanted to talk about...

As I arrived near her desk, she was turned around away from me...holding in her hands...the very same file that I saw during the night...the one with a MI6 emblem on it and only by seeing it in her hands, I sort of panicked inside of me that it wasn't a dream after all to check it but also that I don't remember to have put it back right on the desk before going back inside my room. That caused me to stop at least 1 meter from the desk, my hands were a bit trembling to this.

"Bell, here you are," Freya spoke up, turning around as she closes the file in her hand to look at me, a smile on her face.

"Freya," I whispered as she was putting down the file on the desk. "Listen...I'm sorry about last night," I directly goes inside the subject with her, knowing instantly that it was going to be talked about. "I didn't want to hurt you about this but I don't want to go...too fast," I added as she slowly look back at me...with a smile.

"I know...I'm sorry, Bell," She said in a low voice before she moves in front of me, taking in her hands my left one. "I understand, I was stupid to be...like this," She admitted, holding gently my hand in hers, her eyes looking at them in a lovely way. "It's...you know, it's been a long time that I'm alone, having no one to be with me to think about, to love,"

"Really?" I muttered, slowly approaching her to face her.

"Yeah, just want to find someone that I can say 'I love you...and I think you're that 'someone," She remarked, her face going up to look at me with her eyes looking moved, making me get my right hand on her left cheek. "Would you want to be...that someone?" She asked me in a low voice.

"Yes..yes.." I replied with a smile, her reciprocating it on her face and that was making me warm my heart to see her in a positive mood after last night. "But...Uhm...can we keep it secret? I'm not into...PDA..." I told her, seeming anxious to go public with that sort of thing.

"As you wish," Freya understood my thinking before she decides nonetheless to move in to kiss me on the right cheek, letting a warm kiss on it. "You should get ready to prepare some of your stuff ready for transport, Bell," She advised me with a good voice, gesturing with her head towards the desk and the door of the bedrooms.

"Of course," I complied, nodding with my head at her as I got off her.

"Love you," She said in a low voice, winking at me with a smile.

"Me too," I confirmed before I turn my back around to walk towards my desk, finally getting better for a while after what happened with Freya and just to think about been with someone in a personal way, it was recomforting me, to be honest. It was something that I never thought to have in me but it showed up to be true...

I should think of that new relationship now...not of those dreams...if I can...

Scrapbook 2021 | Part II

For anyone that’s new to this, this is how I keep track of all of the things I enjoy and/or create throughout the year. I have literally been doing this since I had a livejournal. I think the first one was 2011? Maybe? In which case, woohoo, ten years of scrapbooking!

It’s a nice little snippet of my life and helps to organize my brain.

A reminder:

Normal font - Indifferent/Neutral Italicized font - Enjoyed bold font - Loved with an asterisk* - All time favorite (bracketed titles) - Re-watches/Re-reads strikethough - Disliked

Goals are: read 80 books (as of today, i am at 31 books, which sounds not great but goodreads assures me that it’s only 1 book behind schedule), finish five video games (at two at the moment... mostly because I keep dragging my feet on actually finishing P5R), write more than 20 fics (at... 6) or something larger than 20k (negative), and write either an original short story or start a novel (i have started plotting for the novel? does that count?)

the rest of your life by bestliars | Buzzfeed Unsolved | Ryan/Shane/Sara | 30k | MYSTERY DISAPPEARANCE IN THE MIDWEST! The year is 2034. Successful video producer Ryan Bergara uproots his whole life to take care of his friend’s children.

Idle Hands (Do the Devil's Work) by ma_malice | Buzzfeed Unsolved | Ryan/Shane | 4k | In which the only upside to being a demon stuck in a seasonal Chicago snowstorm is the ability to abandon your body and possess your boyfriend in LA.

Shell Game by Giddygeek | The Magicians | Quentin/Eliot | 20k | Or, Quentin can’t believe he never thought to ask if there was a magical time in Fillory when people swapped bodies with the last person they slept with.

Contention by hollybennett123 | Word of Honor | Wen Kexing/Zhou Zishu/Ye Baiyi | 3k |  The Zhou Zishu of ten minutes ago, who first agreed to the whole thing — the evening’s conversation and general bickering over drinks taking an unexpectedly filthy turn — had been thinking only about the imminent pounding on offer and not, well, everything else that might come with it.

Necrocafé by etothey | Locked Tomb Trilogy | Gideon/Harrow | 2k | Harrowhark Nonagesimus isn't sure which confounds her more: the new boxes of bones she is to animate, or the hot redheaded courier who brings the boxes.

simple man by spqr | Loki | Loki/Mobius, Loki/Loki | 6k | “Tell you what,” says Mobius, shortly after the Timekeepers have sentenced Loki to death, “why don’t I take care of this?”

(Un)disclosed desires by Springandastorm | Loki | Loki/Mobius | "That's not how I see you at all, Loki." Mobius said, unexpectedly earnest. "We all play roles sometimes."

warm company, cold nights by janonny | Word of Honor | Wen Kexing/Zhou Zishu | 23k | He gave Zhou Zishu a lingering look from beneath his lashes. “Your virtuous wife will accompany you of course.”

the potential of broken things by icarusinflight | Harry Potter | Drarry | 11k | "Can you feel that? Some things want to be what they once were. The original spell is still there, and it wants to work again. All it takes is a little push and then"—Draco clicks his fingers of his free hand—"snap, everything will go back into place."

little beast by brawlite | The Untamed | Song Lan/Xue Yang | 7k | Payback's a bitch.

you, undeniable you by returnsandreturns | Brooklyn Nine-Nine | Jake/Amy | 1k | “Are you sure you’re okay with this?” Jake asks, for the fourth time. “Because we can just ditch that thing, toss it out a window, do it missionary like the founding fathers intended.”

Car Talk by drunkbedelia | Loki | Mobius/Loki | 1k | ‘When I pruned myself, I thought I might be able to find Loki,' Sylvie said.

one too many by sarcasticfishes | Watcher | Ryan/Shane | 1k | “Stay here,” Ryan says, just casual enough, “I’ll drive you home tomorrow.”

Tencent and Chill by quoth_the_ravenclaw | The Untamed | Nie Huaisang/Nie Mingjue | 2k | “Da-ge,” Huaisang whines, all for show, as much a performance as the actors on screen. He wiggles his toes. “My feet are so sore, you worked me too hard.”

The House at the End of the World by Hopetohell | Loki | Loki/Mobius/Sylvie | 1k | What will they do, now that they can do anything?

moderate the middle by ElisAttack | Loki | Loki/Mobius/Sylvie | 9k | People only smiled with their eyes when it was real. Unless they were a Loki. No matter the differences between the variants, their tricky grins were a constant as much as they were indiscernible.

Lost and Sound by snack_size | Loki | Loki/Thor/Sylvie | 5k | “Sylvie, did you help my brother defeat the Time Police?”

push the button (and let me know) by dinosuns | Loki | Loki/Mobius | 5k | “How about this?” hands folded on the table, he watches Loki intently. “If you tell me why, I’ll answer.” 

We're (not) all villains here by sir_not_appearing_in_this_archive | Loki | Loki/Mobius/Sylvie | 19k | WIP | Alone and friendless (once again), Loki has to find a way to set things right, or at least right enough he can comfortably sneak off into the sunset, which starts with one thing: saving Mobius's lost memories.

what remains by dinosuns | Loki | Loki/Mobius | “You’re no analyst.” Mobius sounds stunned. They are not aligned, they are not in tandem. But there are wistful glimmers of what is now agonisingly out of reach.

worth a shot by thereyoflight | Loki | Loki/Sylvie | 2k | When Loki and Sylvie are moments away from being cornered on the train in Lamentis, they resort to desperate measures.

Bug Problems by xorabbit | Marvel | Grandmaster/Loki | 7k |  Loki ends up on Sakaar, of course, with just that many more schemes to scheme. However, the Grandmaster is not altogether too terrible--a bit of fine luck, for once--and perhaps it's all right to have a better-natured fling while one works out what's next.

our way, no takebacks by dinosuns | Loki | Loki/Mobius | 20k | "Nice speech," Sylvie drawls, but the sarcasm doesn't land.

Vennen min by spqr | Loki | Loki/Mobius | 12k | The day they let Mobius out of the infirmary, Loki gets assigned to a new handler. This, Mobius is pretty sure, is where the trouble starts.

new terms by dinosuns | Loki | President Loki/Mobius | 21k | For the first time in his life, Loki triumphs. How fitting then, for the end to swiftly barge in unannounced.

Icarus by Waako | Loki | Loki/Mobius | 5k | When Mobius got pruned, he expected two different outcomes. Either eternal peace or eternal emptiness. He certainly didn’t expect a grey sky, ruins of old buildings looming over him, and a Loki variant watching him like he was a piece of fresh meat.

Stress Relief by spqr | Loki | Loki/Mobius | 3.5k |  “Let me read you something,” Loki says. He rifles through the pages, clears his throat, and Mobius puts a hand over his eyes because he knows what’s coming before Loki even reads the first word—“Pēdīcābō ego vōs et irrumābō—“

just like the weather by sarcasticfishes | BFU | Shane/Ryan/Sara | 6k | “Y’know,” Ryan shrugs. “Friends have kids together sometimes. Like if a same-sex couple has a friend surrogate for them. Or sometimes people just co-parent.”

Woodash and iron and leather by iffervescent | The Witcher | 9k | Jaskier is the only person Geralt's ever been around who doesn't smell of fear

Food of Love by tanktrilby | The Witcher | Geralt/Jaskier | 22k | I brought a dead princess back to life through the power of song is the kind of thing that would have got an eyebrow raise even from the stone-faced Geralt of Rivia, so it's a good thing he and Geralt will probably never see each other again.

If The Morning Light Sets In by nagia | Castlevania | Sypha/Trevor/Alucard | 45k | Save the Belmonts, save the world.

halfway by ivelostmyspectacles | Castlevania | Sypha/Alucard/Trevor | 12k | Vampire attacks are happening again. Unprovoked, strange, humans and vampires dying alike. A disease. Alucard assures them that he isn't susceptible.

lonely lonely heart by spqr | Loki | Loki/Mobius | 7k |  Mobius looks down at the paperwork, gets a sort of flustered farmboy look on his face, looks back up at Loki and says, “You offered to give a cop fellatio in the middle of Central Park.”

Bedrest by Lise | The Untamed | Xiao Xingchen& Xue Yang | 3k | Xiao Xingchen's newest patient is causing him problems. He just won't stay put.

too little, too late. by raisesomehale | Miraculous Ladybug | Adrien/Marinette | 6k | WIP |  “Ladybug.” Chat’s voice cuts in like molten steel.

Set after Stargate Atlantis Season 4 ep 16 TrioDr Keller walked into the infirmary knowing her designation was Sam’s bedside. As she arrived, she smiled at the older woman.  She really did like her. She knew that Sam seemed a little private but was a kind, caring, and brave woman all at the same.

“How are you doing?” She asked Sam as she reviewed her chart.

“Better. Now that I’m not being thrown around with a broken leg.” She smiled.

Jennifer put the chart down. “Well, the balm in the cast heals it up to 50% faster than normal. It’s amazing really… a broken bone six weeks back on earth, but here it’s only three!” 

“Well, the Ancients really knew their stuff.” Sam remarked. “The technology we’ve acquired is equally advanced.”

“I know. It’ll be amazing when some of this stuff can go public. It’ll change a lot of things back home.”

Sam’s eyebrows raised. “If it ever goes public.” 

“Yeah, we all know how the military love their secrets.”.

“Yeah.” Sam chuckled.

Jennifer paused for a minute, unsure of how to the Colonel would react. “I have a question about something on your medical record?” 

“Oh?” Sam asked, warily. ‘Not the damn protein marker again,’ she thought to herself.

“Nothing medical. Just your next of kin.” Jennifer asked. “You have no immediate family?”

“Oh.” Sam sighed, slightly relieved. “I have a brother but we have a complicated history, but my next of kin would let my brother know anything which he needed to.”

“Your next of kin being General O’Neill?” Jennifer asked her.

“That’s right,” She nodded. She smiled wistfully for a moment and then chuckled. “He’s been listed as my next of kin for a long time. There was my dad, but he died a couple of years back.”

Jennifer looked confused again. “So, the next closest person was your former CO?” Sam could hear the question in Keller’s voice. Why would her former CO still be her next of kin? 

“And Daniel.” She said, pointing out his name as her second next of kin. Jennifer still looked confused. “Jennifer, the original SG-1 -- we’re all really close. Daniel is like a brother to me. Being out here, you must have picked up on it. We were together for seven full years before Ja— Colonel O’Neill was promoted to General and then for a whole other year where he was in command at the SGC.”

Jennifer finally nodded. “That is a long time,” She acknowledged. “Well, Colonel Sheppard has authorized the gate to be opened to send him a message,” Jennifer said, shaking her head. “I suppose there are some benefits of having your next of kin as the Head of Homeworld Security.” Jennifer smiled. “He’ll get to know right away, no delay and no classified mumbo.” 

“Yeah.” Sam smiled. “The gate really doesn’t need to be opened right away, just send it in our weekly report.”

“Oh, John was quite insistent. Something about the General ‘kicking his ass’ if he didn’t.” Jennifer remarked which made Sam chuckle.

“That sounds like him.” Sam admitted. 

“Shepperd to Keller. We’re about to dial up.” He informed her.

Jennifer touched her headset, hitting the button to answer. “I’ll be right there.” She said. Jennifer turned to Sam. “Try to relax.” She told Sam. As she turned to leave, Keller saw Sam pull a computer towards her. Jennifer looked at Sam and took it from her.

“Give me that!” Sam protested.

“I said relax!” Jennifer answered as she saw Sam crossing her arms in a huff as she left the room.

“This is O’Neill.” 

Keller stood in front of the monitor. She had of course heard of General O’Neill. Who hadn’t? He hadn’t personally recruited her, but he’d allowed Dr Weir to do so. At the time, her position was as an assisting doctor, so the General had no need to meet her personally. She suddenly was really nervous of the General. Not being military, she’d never spoken to anyone higher up than Sam.

“Sir. Yes sir.” She said her mouth was going dry. “This is Keller, Doctor Jennifer Keller, sir.”

“What can I do for you, Doctor?” he said in a stern but not unkind tone.

“Um, you’re listed as Colonel Carter’s next of kin, sir?” She tried to say it as a statement, but it came out as a question.

“Is she alright?” the General quickly asked, concern flashing across his handsome face.

“She’s fine—” Jennifer started, “well, no, not fine--,” she continued in a rush. “She’s not dead or anything but...”

“Doc!” he snapped, a hand coming up waving at her. Jennifer snapped out of her muddled state of mind. A little taken aback, to Jen he now seemed a grouch. ‘How did this man worm his way onto Sam’s next of kin?’ she wondered.

“Sorry sir, she has a broken leg sir, a few bumps and bruises—” she started to explain before the General cut across her.

“Sheppard!” He snapped.

John appeared beside her, “Yes sir.”

“I thought I told you...” he trailed, staring down John. “How the hell did it happen?”

“She was on a diplomatic mission, sir.” John explained. “She was perfectly safe. She was with the doc and Rodney.”

“Oh, that makes me feel better.” The General snapped again. “How the hell did she end up with a broken leg if she was ‘safe’?

“Sir—” John started.

“Stop scaring my team, Sir.” They suddenly heard as a second face appeared on the screen.

“Carter?” The General replied, obviously relieved to see her.

“Sam!” Keller reprimanded her patient. “I told you to rest.”

“I’m doing this from a tablet. I’m still in bed.” Sam defended herself.

Before the doctor could object, Jack cut across. “You okay, Carter?” he asked her softly. “How bad is it?”

Sam smiled. “Better than the Ori blast worse than Antarctica.” She shrugged. 

There was silence for a brief moment while the General interpreted the cryptic remark and then he slowly nodded his head. “Only warmer?” He asked, a slight smile playing at his lips.

Sam laughed softly although to everyone else, the joke was a little weak. “Much warmer.” She confirmed with a smile. "Not as bad the super soilder--" she admitted knowing he was trying a gauge her discomfort. "It's only a broken leg." she assured him.

“Okay, Good.” He finally said, after a long and pregnant look between them. Jennifer supposed he was inspecting her somehow, after eight years together he would be able to tell a truth from a lie, maybe he was looking for signs of deceit from her. 

“Thank you for keeping me informed, Doc.” He said kindly towards Jennifer.

Nervously, she stumbled, she’d seen impatience, gruffness, caring concern and now a warmth from this man, all in a few minutes, she wondered if his personality was always so Jackal and Hyde! How could Sam put up with it? “Oh-erm-um, yes sir.”

“I have a meeting with the senators.” He seemed only to be focused on Sam. “Do I need to--” he started to ask.

Sam chuckled, shaking her head. “Sorry sir, I’m no excuse this time.”

He looked a little huffed before he slipped. “What’s the point in having a w-Carter when you can’t use her as an excuse.”

Sam only laughed again. 

“Fine. Keep me informed.” He said then with another pause and a last lingering look at Sam, he ended the transmission. “O’Neill out.” 

The picture went down then the wormhole flickered out. Jennifer looked completely baffled at the screen. “That was the oddest conversation ever.” 

“Well,” John said, with a knowing smile that no one else got it. “The General is a unique man.”

“Yeah, and Sam’s been putting up with the goofball for years!” McKay quipped from behind them.

“Rodney!” John snapped just because he could.

“What?” Rodney answered. “It’s true. How the man even got to General I’ll never know. I thought the brass were meant to be clever folk.” Before anyone else could say a word, Rodney asked, “Is anyone else hungry? What’s for lunch?” 

“Orange Chicken.” John gruffed.

“What?” Rodney asked, worried.

“Chilli lime salad.” John continued as they walked down the corridor.

“Are you serious?” Rodney asked.

“With Lemon meringue pie.” John finished with a smirk on his face.

“Oh, haha, yes, very funny. You’re not being serious, are you?” A look passed between Jennifer and John before he asked again. “Are you?”

Ultima noapte de dragoste, întâia noapte de război Debutul partidei a fost de bun augur, la primul lanseu având un atac violent, pe cădere, dar rămas fără nici o finalitate. Următoarele ore au fost de coșmar însă, fiind ajuns de urările celor rămași fără TN-uri la târg. Așa se face că după miezul nopții, am ajuns la ultimul vobler Jackall TN, restul înotând libere pe Prut, și am decis ca e momentul să spun stop. Ajuns la masina cu “my precious” în mână mi-am zis: WTF ori la bal ori la spital și m-am întors să ofer ultima ofrandă Prutului. A urmat lanseul perfect în noapte, fix la baza insulei, am inspirat profund până a ajuns pe substrat și la prima tură de manivelă a venit atacul: parcă am agățat un tren în mișcare. Drilul a fost pe măsură, peștele fiind ajutat de curenții puternici ai Centralei hidroelectrice, fiind convins ca la capatul firului am un somn mare. După trei sferturi de oră a venit surpriza: primul meu șalau cu greutate din 2 cifre: 10,5 kg. - @liviutrifina Citeste articolul complet pe: https://andyarif.ro/de-la-mine-pana-la-tn-ochii-tai-ochii-tai-si-voblere-jackall/ #DiscoverTheUnexpected #JackallLures #Jackall #TN #VoblereRattlin #ArrowInternational #Pescuit #PescuitLaRapitori #AventuriLaPescuit #BlogPescuit #ItsAllAboutFishing #AndyArifPunctRo #Fishing #PredatorFishing #FishingAdventures #FishingBlog #AndyArifDotRo #PescuitLaStiuca #PescuitLaSalau #PescuitLaBiban #PescuitLaBass #PescuitLaClean #PescuitLaAvat #ZanderFishing #PerchFishing #ChubFishing #AspFishing #PikeFishing #BassFishing (at AndyArif.ro) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXuC31jLzYq/?utm_medium=tumblr

@venhediss tagged me for a “post 6-9 music albums you’ve been listening to recently” type thing which is KINDA HARD for me ‘cause i pretty much always just throw all my ~6000 tracks on one big clusterfuck shufflelist whenever i listen to music.

that being said here’s a few newer additions and/or those i’ve taken particular interest in lately

Disasterpeace-Hyper Light Drifter OST Tiasu-W_Hole Jake Kaufman- Mighty Switch Force 2 OST ◻- Auria; Fade of Dusk Gareth Coker- Ori & the Blind Forest OST Culprate- Deliverance

and then special shoutouts to singles; Graz’ Siren Rock (Nice Up The Area), Jackal Queenston’s Temporay, and Durian Durian’s Samurai Funky Nation

as for my own tags i’m gonna say uuuhhh @unclenicky @shysassyspinosaurus and @saintsalt

Finally tried designing the jackal siblings, all 8 of them.

They are all named after numbers btw, just in different languages. Their parents were somehow both creative and unimaginative at the same time.

Bonus sketch and all of them in one image:

For clarity sake these are (probably) before the jackal squad as we know it. I haven't actually done character designs like this before but I'm happy with how they turned out :з

Niciodată nu am fost elitist și nici hărăzit brandurilor articolele de pescuit pe care le folosesc. Fie că sunt mai ieftine, fie că sunt mai scumpe, toate își au locul și timpul potrivit într-o poveste de pescuit fără sfârșit. Nu zic să alegeți Owner în detrimentul Gamakatsu, Daiwa Tournament sau să nu folosiți VMC, Fudo și Carnassier, ori altele, că nu-s bune. Mergeți cât mai mult la pescuit, probați, testați, întrebați, studiați la colegii de suferință și alegeți ceea ce credeți că vi se potrivește. Pentru mine unul și firmele producătoare de năluci de mai sus, Jackall și Strike Pro, Owner este un numitor comun de succes.
