why is velvet's monitor fairy named ribbon

It's a little confusing to me because they don't look very ribbony

the name doesn't have that much meaning to it when it comes to ribbon's themes/appearance, but it's one that velvet chose subconsciously, so it does relate to what velvet likes (fashion and ribbons and cute things)!!

Enhancing Precision and Excellence: Dental Microscope Applications in Yatala

Welcome to our blog, where we delve into the world of dental innovations that are transforming smiles and elevating the standards of care. Today, we're shining a spotlight on an incredible advancement in dentistry - Dental Microscope Applications in Yatala. This cutting-edge technology is revolutionizing the way dental procedures are performed, ensuring precision, accuracy, and improved patient outcomes.

A Closer Look at Dental Microscope Applications

Seeing the Unseen

In the field of dentistry, precision is paramount. Dental issues can often hide in the smallest, most intricate corners of your mouth, making them challenging to diagnose and treat effectively. Enter the dental microscope, a powerful tool that magnifies and illuminates the oral cavity like never before. This microscopic view allows dentists to see details that would be impossible to discern with the naked eye.

Transforming Diagnostics

One of the most significant advantages of dental microscopes is their role in early diagnosis. By visualizing dental problems at their inception, dentists can intervene proactively, preventing more extensive and costly treatments down the road. Whether it's a tiny cavity, a hairline crack, or the early stages of gum disease, the dental microscope reveals the story behind your oral health.

A Multitude of Applications

Dental microscopes find applications across various dental specialties, including:

1.      Endodontics

Dental microscopes are a game-changer in root canal treatments. They allow endodontists to navigate the complex root canal system with precision, ensuring that no infected tissue is left behind.

2.      Restorative Dentistry

For restorative procedures like fillings, crowns, and veneers, the microscope ensures that dental work seamlessly blends with your natural teeth, both in function and aesthetics.

3.      Periodontics

In periodontal treatments, dental microscopes aid in thorough cleaning, precise root planing, and the precise removal of infected tissue, promoting optimal gum health.

4.      Oral Surgery

From wisdom teeth extractions to dental implant placements, oral surgeons use dental microscopes to enhance surgical precision, minimize invasiveness, and reduce recovery times.

The Patient's Perspective

Dental microscopes aren't just a boon for dentists; they also improve the patient experience. By catching dental issues early and ensuring precise treatments, patients can enjoy:

1.      Minimally Invasive Procedures

Smaller incisions, less discomfort, and shorter recovery times are just some of the benefits of microscope-assisted treatments.

2.      Visual Understanding

Patients can actively participate in their treatment decisions as dentists can display the images captured by the microscope, explaining the issues and the proposed solutions.

3.      Improved Outcomes

Microscope-guided treatments often result in more predictable and successful outcomes, providing patients with lasting dental health.

No Ordinary Fan [Part 1]

Jeffrey Dean Morgan x Fem!Reader

Summary: Y/N finally gets to meet her favorite actor of all time, but something about her manages to grasp the successful actor’s attention.

AN: Jeffrey is portrayed as a single man in this fic.

“Okay. You got this. You’re going to go in there and look him dead in the eye as if he’s not the man of your dreams. I can’t fucking believe this is happening.” Y/N stood in front of her bathroom mirror, undressed with only a towel to cover her as she gave herself a pep-talk. After being a fan of JDM for many years, she had finally been given the opportunity to interact with the actor at a meet and greet taking place in her city. This is something she had been looking forward to for weeks, but once the day finally came, she was overcome with anxiousness. 

Once Y/N had finished her little speech, she stepped out of her bathroom and back into her room to get dressed. She already had the clothes she intended to wear laid out on her bed along with her accessories. It was a casual outfit, because she wasn’t the type to ‘dress up’ even if it was to meet her longtime crush. She figured that this was the perfect time to show off her t-shirt she had purchased from The Walking Dead merchandise store and her pants were regular blue jeans. Her accessories were also merch pieces dedicated to the popular tv show, but her most favorite were the hook earrings that resembled Negan’s bat she managed to find on Etsy. It only took a couple of minutes for her to be fully dressed, and now monitoring the time as she decided to put on a little makeup right before she heads out. In an effort to make it to the event on time, she quickly finished up and grabbed her things to leave, including the two Negan posters she wanted him to sign for her. 

After rushing out of the house and spending a little over a half hour in aggravating traffic, she had finally made it to the building where the meet and greet was taking place. Her heart was racing as she made her way inside, still partly in disbelief about what was going to happen in a matter of minutes. Once she got inside, she went through the motions of gaining entry and was sent to stand in line with the rest of the fans. She made it relatively early, so the line was short enough to where she could see him sitting behind a table and interacting with a fan. Her composure began to unravel as she watched him speak from afar and tuning everything else around her completely out in the process.

Oh my God he looks so much better in person. His slicked back brown hair, salt and pepper beard, and don’t get me started about that smile. Y/N fangirled away in her head as the line grew shorter, and her excitement became more prevalent. Before she knew it, she was next in line behind the person that was standing in front of her. The man she had only fantasized about in her spare time, the one she referred to as her husband on social media, the Jeffrey Dean Morgan was sitting right there. She kept her eyes on him as she patiently waited her turn, and for a second, she could’ve sworn that he had glanced over at her a few times as he was speaking to the other fan. A few minutes later, the fan’s time was up, and it was now Y/N’s turn to introduce herself for the very first time. She took a deep breath and put a smile on her face as she stepped forward, stopping in front of the table directly in front of him. Her ability to speak had been halted for unknown reasons, but still wore a big smile on her face.

“Well, hello there. What’s your name sweetheart?” His voice was deep and husky, on top of the nickname he called her, was gratifying all on its own. She realized she had been quiet for a little bit too long and snapped herself back into reality.

“I’m sorry, I’m- uh...my name is Y/N. Sorry.” 

“No need to apologize Y/N. That is such a lovely name for a beautiful young lady such as yourself.” He spoke to her softly, giving her that killer smile of his. It was almost like he knew that he had a strong effect on her and used it to his advantage. 

“Thank you. I’m such a huge fan and I love all your work.” She tried not to sound too cheerful, keeping her tone as neutral as possible. 

“Is that right?” He let his eyes wander up and down her body. “I see you got a TWD shirt, very nice. But is that what I think it is?” He brought his hands up to his ears and pinched his earlobes, indicating to Y/N that he is inquiring about her earrings. 

“Oh! They’re Lucille earrings, I found them online.” She moved her hand behind her ear to push the jewelry forward, giving Jeffrey a better look. 

“That’s fucking awesome. I can’t really see them from down here though, come closer so I can see them better.” He leaned forward onto the table, using his arms to support him as Y/N bent down to get closer to him. She was now at the same level he was as he remained in his chair, allowing him to touch the hooked earring in her left ear. He then let go of the earring and moved his face much closer to hers, putting his lips up to her ear.

“I’ve had my eye on you ever since you came in here.” Y/N audibly gasped, remaining still as he continued to whisper in her ear. “I’d like to get to know you better, if that’s ok with you.” He promptly moved back from Y/N, awaiting a response as she slowly brought herself up from the table. 

She had a hard time grasping what she had just heard. He very clearly just told her that she caught his interest, and she still felt as if all this was some kind of fever dream. She turned around to see a line of people behind her, all of them being completely clueless about what was going on at that moment. The sound of the actor clearing his throat made her turn back around, seeing him tap his wrist as an indication that they were running out of time. 

“Ok, yes. But how exactly are we supposed to do this?” She was whispering to prevent the people around them from hearing. He reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone, unlocked it, and slid the phone over to her on the table. He wanted her phone number, so she quickly put it in his phone and saved it under her name. She slid the phone back to him and he put it back into his pocket. Seeing that it was time to say farewell, he reached out and grabbed one of Y/N’s soft hands, giving her one last look with his lustrous, hazel eyes. 

“It’s been really nice meeting you Y/N, and I hope to see you again very soon.” He brought his voice down to a whisper, “and I’ll call you as soon as I’m done here, okay?”

Y/N nodded her head in compliance, hanging on by a thread at the sight of him holding then releasing her hands from his grip. She waved goodbye to her idol as the event coordinator escorted her away. She wanted to make sure that she wasn’t certifiable, and that his entire experience wasn’t all in her head. She pinched herself, gave herself a light smack on the face, and even asked the coordinator if she was dreaming. It all appeared to be happening in real time, and she was going to have a chance to get close to someone she once referred to as her baby daddy.

Hero Worship

Dr.Jonathan Fraser × Fem!(20s)Reader(18+)

Synopsis: (y/n) endures a day of unexpected run-ins...

A/N: Here it is!! The Jonathan Fraser fic!! Finally!! More fluff/crush than I would've liked but it's here!!

⚠️TW: Mentions of injury & Traumatic Situation, Age Gap, Hospital Setting, Medical Language, French Spoken, Light Sexual Contact, Doctor/Patient dynamic, General Tension.

My own breathing, my own heart beat are all I can hear as my ears ring. What is that? Cars. Honking. . . Echoes. . . Voices. . . Snapping. . .snapping? Snapping.

"Hello? Hello, can you hear me? If you can hear me, all I need you to do is move your head, just a little, can you do that for me?"

Everything is dark but I think I manage to turn my head towards the voice I'm hearing.

"Good, good, that's good. Now I'm going to ask you to open your eyes, alright? I bet you have very pretty eyes, I'd love to see them,"

Wincing, I manage to open my eyes and there's a light being shone into one, the other, just momentarily.

"Lovely. You're doing great. Now I'm going to ask you to do something a little harder, okay? Blink once if you think you're up to it."

I blink slowly, intentionally, my eyes beginning to focus on the face attached to the voice I'm hearing. An older man, maybe in his fifties? With short grey hair, bright blue eyes...

"I need you to try your very hardest to wiggle your fingers."

I do, and quickly. My body feels weak, strained, but he's asking me to do things that are easy.

"That is brilliant, look at you go, Toyota Camry be damned." He smiles.

"Are you... a doctor?" I croak, speech slurring, and is that my voice? What happened? My head pounds with sudden and searing pain and I wince, gasping sharply.

"I am. My name is Doctor Jonathan Fraser, and you are going to be just fine. You were struck by a car just now. The paramedics are on their way. We are going to Price-Norbury Memorial to assess and treat your injuries. Can you tell me your name, dear?"

I can mentally trace where that is but still don't know how I got hit by a car. What did I even do?

"(y/n)..." I mutter, confused.

"(y/n)." He repeats quietly. "Everything is going to be alright." He nods, as if to seal this promise and the paramedics do arrive, lifting me onto a gurney. Dr. Fraser joins us in the ambulance, answering the EMT's questions for me with all sorts of confusing medical terminology I don't understand, they take my vitals and as the sirens blare out overhead I feel myself starting to lose conciousness again.

"(y/n)? (y/n)!"

Blackness.

When I wake up I'm in a fluorescent-lit hospital room, and as I gain greater awareness of my surroundings I realize I'm in a hospital gown, an IV has been jammed into the vein on top of my right hand, as well as a heart rate monitor that's been clipped onto my index finger. This new outfit and its accompanying accessories are uncomfortable, I bruise easily and what happened? What the hell happened to me? Am I okay? Where's that doctor from earlier?

A smiley nurse in pink scrubs bops into the room "Oh, hey. You're up." She takes the chart from the end of my bed and looks over it briefly. "Struck by motor vehicle, likely concussed...abdominal bruising...partial or total fracture to Left ribs T5 through T9... partial fracture to left illiac crest, Jesus..." she looks up from her mumbled description of my injuries "Looks like you've had quite the day. Do you remember anything about what you were doing prior to being hit by that car, miss..." she checks the chart again "(y/ln)?"

I try to think and the only thing that comes to mind is how much my head hurts right now and where is the doctor that helped me in the ambulance? "N-no, I don't, I- where's doctor...Jonathan? I think his name was? I forget his last name... he had an accent... British..."

"Doctor Fraser," she grins, nodding. "He's in pediatrics right now. I can page him in..." she checks her watch "45 minutes to check in on you if you'd like. He won't be your primary doctor but he did insist you be treated by our best trauma unit, headed by Doctor Rosenfeld."

"Pediatrics?"

"Doctor Fraser is Price-Norbury's leading Pediatric Oncologist."

"Oh. Okay. Yeah. If you could page him, that'd be great. He saved me, so I'd really like to thank him properly."

"Gladly. Just gonna check your vitals, I'll page doctor Rosenfeld, and shortly after his assessment, doctor Fraser should be able to pop in for a quick visit, sound good?"

She grins at me and I have to wonder how someone can be so full of pep, of joy, while constantly surrounded by disease and brokenness.

"Yes, thank you."

"Of course, honey. Don't mind me, just gonna get this situated on ya," she wraps the blood pressure cuff tightly over my right bicep, it begins constricting "and... deep, slow breath? Great. One more? Awesome." It finally loosens and she sets the cuff aside.

I watch as she scribbles down a few figures on the chart, simpers at me and leaves the room. In the moments I'm left with my thoughts all I can do is attempt to remember.

I was... walking... there was... someone yelled something... and then there was-- I don't know. What came after that? Why don't I remember? What the fuck happened?

A balding man I estimate to be in his late forties strides into the room and picks up the chart, glancing my muddled expression. "(y/n), I'm Doctor Rosenfeld, it's nice to meet you. The circumstances on the other hand... less nice. Let's dive right in, huh?" Doctor Rosenfeld lists my injuries in that complicated medical language I don't like then explains what happened via Doctor Fraser's statement to the paramedics.

I was walking across the street, not looking out. Some poor woman was speeding and hit me, I rolled up her windshield and back onto the pavement. He insists that had she been going 5 more miles per hour, I would be on a slab and not in a bed.

"Oh. Uhm... Okay. Well, Shit." I let out an awkward laugh "I feel kind of stupid. What type of idiot doesn't look both ways before crossing the street, right?"

"The kind that keeps their face buried in their phone," Doctor Rosenfeld states, not missing a beat "Listen, (y/n), it's New York. You can be as prepared as you want and things like this still happen. We see a huge uptick in these types of collisions every year around this time. Especially up here. You're not stupid. You're human. And sometimes humans accidentally hit eachother with heavy machinery."

He chortles and I have to join in.

Dr. Rosenfeld tells me they're going to run some tests to make sure my organs are okay but that my overall prognosis is very good and in the meantime he'll have a nurse bring me some food.

He leaves the room and now it's just me and the low beep of the heart rate monitor as I await Doctor Fraser.

I'm feeling... nervous? Which is weird, he's just a doctor, it's not like this is a date or anything. I only glanced him for a minute or two, but if memory serves -50/50 chance- he was handsome... Maybe it's just the way he spoke? His voice was so soothing to me in a moment of anxiety and shock, and I'm making things out to be more than they are...

Regardless, I should thank him. If he hadn't been there, who knows what could've happened?

And he cures children's cancer? So selfless...so noble... but I supoose that's a requirement of people who get into medicine... I need to see him again. Something about him... I just need to know.

I hum to myself as I wait and wonder when that nurse will be back with food... How bad could this hospital's food be given its location? if I can get my phone I might be able to have someone drop off something. My phone. Shit. Wait. No one knows I was hit by a car. Fuck. Shit. I need my phone. My eyes search the room and I don't see my stuff anywhere. Dr. Fraser finally strides into the room, his smirk infectious and I was right. He is hot.

"So then, how's the luckiest girl in New York doing?"

"Tired," I simper at him, just momentarily. "I'm having some trouble finding my things, is there somewhere I should be looking? I don't have my phone and no one knows I'm here, so-"

Doctor Fraser reaches an arm under the end of my bed and holds up an enormous clear plastic tote containing my stuff. "These things?"

"Yeah, where was that?" I laugh

"One of those cruel nurses must've placed it on the end of your bed, next to your chart, speaking of which, may I?" He gestures to the chart, setting the bag of items gingerly next to me. "Sure. Maybe you can translate it to layman's terms?"

I rifle through the bag and find my phone. It's cracked, but usable, and the battery is down to twenty percent.

I watch him read through it breifly and his eyes flick up to mine. "A car bumped you, you've got a couple rib fractures and a very small partial crack in your left hip bone. But you're going to be fine in a few weeks. Your bruising makes everything look, and feel, much worse than it is."

"Doctor Rosenfeld said if the driver had gone any faster I'd be in the morgue and not here."

"Doctor Rosenfeld says a lot of things. He thinks if he gives you a scary ultimatum like that you'll try even harder to keep safe in future. Good intentions, bad execution, excellent clinician. Keep on with his treatment plan and you'll be set."

"Doctor Fraser?"

"Please, (y/n), call me Jonathan."

"Jonathan," I smile, "Thank You for being there... for helping me."

"Of course. A beautiful woman gets hit by a car in broad daylight, you do something, it'd be downright evil not to."

"Beautiful?"

His eyes widen then narrow at me, investigative. "Do you not consider yourself beautiful?"

"I mean, I think I'm alright, I just would never have thought you would-"

"Well, I do. To be entirely honest, (y/n), I find you incredibly attractive. Even when you've just been hit by a car." He smirks and I feel myself blush some as he situates himself at my bedside.

"I think... the same of you, that you're handsome, I mean-" I stammer.

"Is that so?"

"Yeah..."

"And if I were to, do something about that..."

"I'd like you to."

"You would?"

"Yes... is that.. do you want t-"

His gaze wanders down to my lips, just for a second but I notice, and a jolt of heat runs through me as he leans in, fingertips timidly settling into the hair at the nape of my neck.

He touches me like I would a wounded animal, cautious, light, reserved only to my unscathed side.

I feel his other hand moving under the blanket, softly shifting the hem of the hospital gown up my thigh and his eyes are on mine, apprehensive, questioning, as he leans in.

His kiss is slow, gentle, and I melt as his tongue enters my mouth. Fingertips find the front of my underwear, I hear myself moan, and my hips shift of their own accord.

This triggers a searing pain in my left side and I wince, drawing in a sharp breath as Jonathan breaks our embrace. I pout at the immediate absence of his hands and he looks me over, worried.

"We should probably hold off on the physical. Just while you heal. I want to know you better, and eventually, I'd love to take this... further, but I can't... allow myself, to be the cause of your injuries worsening... it'd be unethical." He breathes.

"Understood.." I blink up at him.

"May I see your phone?"

I hand it to him and he taps at it frantically for a moment, handing the open Contact screen back to me.

"This, is my cell. I'm not the world's best texter, but I'll try. Anything you need; edible food, someone to talk to, errand boy, a doctor's note, you let me know. I'll figure it out."

Jonathan gives me a wink as he makes his way out of the room and I have to giggle at the idea of a renowned oncologist as my 'errand boy', but he's sweet.

The smiley nurse is back in minutes with a feast of orange jello, a turkey sandwich and a small cup of half-congealed potato soup. Looking over the... assortment,  I now understand Jonathan's offer to find me some edible food. I take this opportunity to snap a photo of the tray and text it to him.

Me: opinions?

A typing bubble appears, disappears. 4 minutes later a response comes through.

Jonathan: Fantastic jello here, inimitable, they peel the lid off and everything. I'll drop you a couple courses of real food in the morning. Majorelle ok?

Me: Majorelle???

Jonathan: French. It's on my way. I'll surprise you. Rest.

Rest. I got hit by a car, nearly fingered by a hot oncologist, and I'm supposed to rest. Not think. Not fixate. Just Rest. Maybe the most eventful day I've had in the last two years... but.. rest. Yeah, okay.

The remainder of the night is bland as I watch the news, recieve an outpouring of 'get well soon' texts from friends, family, coworkers, and finally figure out how to get out of bed and shuffle around without harming my left side. After I'm confident I can walk almost normally, I'm ready for that rest these doctors are so adamant about.

I pass out around 2am, only to resurface at 7:04, finding a black paper bag on the tray table beside my bed. Checking my phone breifly, I'm surprised to find a notification this early. A text from Jonathan.

Jonathan: J'espère que ces offrandes seront suffisantes, ma chère?

French? At this hour?

I run the text through Google translate, inspect the contents of the bag and tap back:

Yep, thx so much! 🩷

Jonathan: Of course. Parlez vous?

Me: non

Jonathan: I'll quit showing off then. Are you bored? Can't imagine you slept much.

Me: extremely, could use some company, if you know anyone interesting... 👀

Jonathan: I might. In fact, he may just be on his way back to your room.

And he is. A bright-eyed Jonathan strides into the room looking refreshed, looking good.

"Morning, you."

"Doctor Fraser." I smile.

He takes a seat on the edge of my bed, pulling the tray table into place, and begins arranging the French feast he brought me.

A breakfast of coffee, orange slices and orange blossom cookies tastes better with him and as we talk I get the sense that his interest in me extends beyond the superficial, that he sees me in a way most people in my life just... don't.

"So...last night, I figured out how to walk without my hip hurting."

"Did you? That is fantastic, (y/n)! Come on then, let's see it."

He pushes the tray table aside, stepping back from the bed and extending a hand to me. I don't need it as I cautiously sit up on the edge of the bed, push my feet to the floor, and stand up. He backs further into the room. "Can you walk to me, then?"

"Easily." And I do, stopping about a foot ahead of him.

"Very impressive. You may need a crutch, but the fact that you've been standing this long should be enough to have them shorten your stay and put you on bedrest at home, I'd say."

"Yeah?" I beam, craving the quiet comfort of my apartment.

He takes a step closer "I don't see why not."

"Promise?" I blink up at him, hopeful.

Jonathan narrows his eyes at me for a moment, internally debating.

"Yeah. Yeah, alright. Promise. I'll talk to the nursing team, have them send a memo to Rosenfeld, and we'll get you on your way tomorrow."

"Really?"

"Really."

He smiles down at me, eyes scanning my face as he leans in to press a small kiss into the top of my head.

"Jonathan, can I ask you something?"

"Anything."

I nip at my lower lip, nervous. I'm unsure how he'll take this, but it's worth a shot.

"Do you do house calls?"

A beat.

"Not typically, no. But for you..."

A Lesson in Cooperation

[An Immortal Among Stars Masterlist]

contents: lady whump, immortal whumpee, captivity, a lot of dying, torture, asphyxiation, cutting, implied surgery, briefly mentioned eye gore.

~~~

Every time someone called Karita the immortal, it was terrible news.

She tried to be secretive, and usually she succeeded, but every once in a while someone would find out. There were people strongly attuned to magic of all sorts who could sense something strange about her and piece it together; there were those who simply saw her come back to life; and there were the most mundane ways, finding her old photographs, mentions of her in documents, because no matter how hard she tried, she could never fully erase her existence from the records.

Which meant, of course, that those in power were the most likely to find out about her secret.

"So, you're the immortal I've read so much about," Princex Yari drawled with a sly smile, looking down at Karita, who answered with her best look of confusion.

"Excuse me?" She frowned. "I-I think you got the wrong person. Your Highness," she rushed to add, her eyes widening as she put her entire heart into playing the part of a confused, intimidated mortal.

It rarely worked, and judging by the princex's laughter, this time it did not.

"Don't lie to me," they said, giving one of the guards standing by their side a nod. "I can easily test it."

Karita let out a terrified gasp when the guard handed the princex a dagger, shiny and bejeweled, more of a beautiful accessory than a weapon.

"No, please!" she choked out, struggling in the guards' grip. "Please, I swear I don't know what Your Highness is talking about, I'm not immortal!"

"That's just too bad." Yari shrugged, approaching her. "If you're telling the truth… Well, I'm terribly sorry, and I hope you had a good life."

The freezing blade was pressed to her throat, making her shudder, and with a quick precise cut her fate was sealed.

"Have you ever considered becoming an actress?" Yari asked, giddy with excitement, as soon as she came back to life. "I'm sure you'd shine in death scenes."

She glared at them, abandoning her wholehearted impression of normality.

"What do you want from me, Your Highness?" Her voice was dripping with venom.

"Information," they replied, leaning down to be closer to eye level with her. "A lot of information."

"I'm not telling you shit," Karita sneered. She saw stars when her reply earned her a hard slap to the face. It was annoying more than anything, but it drove a different point home: once again, she was a captive, after a mere few years of peace.

"Maybe you won't have to. All I need is your full cooperation."

"That's not gonna happen either."

"Really?" Yari raised one eyebrow, still smiling. "I think my offer is quite sensible, especially considering what will happen if you refuse."

"Oh? Then why don't you tell me about it?"

She had been presented with many offers she couldn't refuse throughout her life. It always turned out that she could, in fact, refuse, and the consequences were bearable. There wasn't much that could scare her into submission.

"Like I said, I need information. Information about the Serpent Cluster.”

Karita frowned. Serpent was a lost cluster, taken over long ago by loosely organized groups of the underworld, now a death sentence to any ship that passed too close. The cluster was being monitored as much as it could be, which wasn’t a lot, and for decades there had been plans and promises to deal with it once and for all, but it wasn’t going to be an easy operation, and as years passed, the groups ruling over the cluster only continued to grow stronger. No-one had been stupidly brave enough to venture there, including Karita - she wouldn’t lose her life in the cluster, sure, but she knew better than anyone that there were fates worse than death.

“I don’t have any.”

“I know,” Yari said with a patient smile. “But you’re going to get it for me.”

“What, you expect me to just waltz in there and ask around?”

“No, of course not. We’ll go with a more stealthy approach.”

“We?” Karita snorted, even as fear started to set in. “I’m not going to cooperate and you know it.”

“Yes, you are. Anyway, the plan is as follows: We’re going to put implants right here.” Before Karita could react, Yari grabbed the sides of her head and ran their thumbs behind her ears, pressing down to the point of pain. “They’re going to record everything you hear while you’re there, and send it directly to us. It’s only sound, but it will have to do for the most part.”

“No?” Karita stared at them in disbelief. “You’re not putting that crap in me.”

Yari sighed.

“Aren’t you forgetting something, immortal? I’m a princex. I’m in charge here, and right now I control you. You can act tough all you want. In the end, you’ll do exactly what I want you to do.”

“No,” Karita repeated and shook her head. “You can’t force me. What are you going to threaten me with? Death?”

“Actually, yes. In a way,” Yari laughed, and gestured at the guards, who grabbed Karita by the arms and started leading her - or more like dragging her - out of the room. Her thoughts were racing, her heartbeat frantic, as she tried to guess what the princex had in store for her. She had died more times and in more ways than she could count; mundane, horrific, suicide, murder, freak accidents, magic. She had suffered, she had been mutilated, there was nothing that could sway her and convince her that going to the Serpent Cluster to act as a spy was the better alternative.

She was pretty confident, until she started to realize where she was being taken.

She pulled. She tried to dig her heels in, to stop the guards, to free herself, to do something, and maybe she was wrong, but there it was, the airlock, and two people in spacesuits, and the vast universe outside.

No. 

She was paralyzed with terror at this point, which didn’t happen often - she had learned long ago to act no matter what, to fight through the fear, not let it overpower her, but this-

The star exploded.

She could’ve been there, on one of the destroyed planets, fire, burning, melting, ice, freezing, floating in nothingness, no hope of ever being found.

Sturdy manacles were closed on her wrists and ankles. Yari appeared in front of her, holding a helmet.

“So,” they said, taking in her terrified expression, “it’s just death, isn’t it? You’ll be fine, no matter how long you’re there. I still haven’t decided, to be honest. Let’s say… six hours, and then I’ll ask for your cooperation again. Then… we’ll see.”

"No." The word left her before she could stop herself, and that was it for acting tough. They knew how scared she really was. 

She wasn't going to be there forever, though, or even for several days, months, years. Six hours to start with, after which…

She couldn’t agree. She just couldn’t.

The princex put the helmet on her, but she already suspected it was only temporary - she didn't have a spacesuit or any protective magic, and a helmet offered a sliver of protection that her newest captor obviously didn't want her to have. The two guards in spacesuits grabbed her and pulled her towards the airlock, and she struggled, she did, but there was absolutely nothing she could do.

Immortality couldn't save her from this.

The hatch behind them closed, the one in front of them opened, and she was pushed into a nightmare.

Freezing pressure immediately surrounded her body and her breath caught in her throat. The guards wasted no time attaching a tether to the manacles on her ankles. There was no sympathy, no hesitation in their actions as they followed their orders, testing the tether, then taking the helmet off Karita, leaving her head unprotected from the ruthless vacuum.

They pushed her further away from the spaceship - the tether was long enough for that - and left her to die.

The first time she did, she wasn’t sure what was happening. She was freezing, but at the same time her blood and saliva were boiling and- She passed out.

When she came back to life, there was a layer of ice on her face, and she screamed soundlessly when she felt her eyes boiling too, an agony she had never experienced before. The vacuum was pushing, squeezing her body, compressing her lungs, she ran out of the meager amount of air she came back to life with, and passed out again.

She had read about this, just like she had read about every potential deadly situation she’d heard of, imagining what it would feel like, learning how to survive it, if there even was a way. The source of that particular report was a gnarly one, shady experiments on unwilling human subjects in a magically recreated contained vacuum; it wasn’t a publicly available document, but she had to find it, and she succeeded, only to be plagued by nightmares for days.

The subjects lost consciousness after ten to fifteen seconds.

She plummeted into darkness more merciful than that surrounding her, speckled with stars.

Death occurred around the ninety second mark.

She gasped when she came back to life, only for the vacuum to take all of her air, as if pulling it out of her, leaving her struggling weakly until her brain shut down again.

Deceased subjects recovered after 24 hours were frozen solid.

How long had it been? Karita was in no state to try and count the moments of consciousness, short, and yet feeling like an eternity. Freezing, boiling alive, suffocating, struggling, suffering, with no end in sight, unless it had been three, four, five hours already and she was going to be taken back soon, but it might as well have only been half an hour.

There was also the possibility that Yari was going to leave her like this for much, much longer. Maybe they were watching this, enjoying her pain and panic, or maybe they couldn’t handle it. Based on what was happening to her body, she could only imagine what she looked like.

This could be her eternity. The tether was the only promise that she was going to be brought back eventually, but if it failed, or if someone undid it, she would have no anchor. Restrained, and dying too often to be able to do much anyway, she’d be left at the mercy of space until she could no longer remember what it was like to be anywhere else.

It never got more bearable. If anything, it was even worse than she had imagined and feared for so long. She couldn’t handle it. She wasn’t strong enough.

Resigned, she died. She died. She died. She woke up in the grip of two guards.

She was inside the spaceship again. Every breath was agony. She managed to look up and saw the princex, who smiled at her and said something, but she couldn’t make out their words. The bejeweled dagger shined in their hand, was pressed to her throat, and sent her back into darkness.

“So? Do I have your full cooperation?” Yari asked when Karita opened her eyes.

It was always strange to come back to life free from pain. She had just spent hours in agony, and now it was only a memory. Her clothes and face were damp, but at least not frozen anymore - the temperature must have been cranked up to make her thaw out faster. 

She should refuse, but the thought of being out there again filled her with panic that made it hard to breathe. The Serpent Cluster really did seem like the better option.

“Yes.” She wanted to simply nod at first, but she had to make sure she could still talk.

“Good. I’ll give you a moment to compose yourself and… clean yourself up.” The princex grimaced and scrunched their nose. “Then we can proceed.”

She was dragged to a bathroom, and she was glad it had no mirrors. She sat in the shower with her eyes closed to avoid looking at what the water was washing off of her until she was forced to leave when one of the guards knocked on the door insistently.

The walk to the medbay felt like walking to the gallows, and she was barely aware of what was happening; her body was walking down the corridor, but her mind was somewhere else. They made her lie down on her stomach on the operating table, tied her hair into a tight bun so it wouldn’t get in the way, and hooked her up to machinery she didn’t even bother to try and recognize.

They were merciful enough to sedate her before the procedure, and someone even reassured her that there was no chance of complications, as if it mattered much in her case, as if what they were doing was supposed to help her. That was never the case - as soon as she lost consciousness, they got to work turning her into an unwilling spy, nothing more than a tool.

Idk if this is weird to ask out of the blue, but you’ve made me all nostalgic.

I played Shining Nikki back when it was Love Nikki, before the move to 3D. But that account was linked to a Facebook which I’ve since deleted, so I’ll be coming in completely fresh. Would you recommend starting playing again? I quit because the events had become completely unplayable without spending irl money. But seeing all your posts has made me miss it. And the newer clothes look amazing. The lighting/shading on the 3D models can look a little wonky to me sometimes. But the different poses! The amazing makeup! It makes me remember all the things I loved about the game 🥲

Okay, this is going to be a long answer probably but bear with me. First of all Shining Nikki is a separate game from Love Nikki so you would have to start over even if you hadn't deleted your Facebook account. The Love Nikki server is still up and running about the same as ever from what I can tell from other people who still play Love Nikki, but don't quote me on that because I deleted it when Shining Nikki came out I didn't have space for both on my phone.

As for spending money it depends on what you want out of the game. If you just want to complete the story and have a couple of cool outfits and accessories to need around with you can get that for free if you're patient and know how to manage your resources well. Diamonds can be saved up for hell events if you have more impulse control than I do and even then I am usually able to get some cool stuff with the pulls I can get even if I can't complete the set. The hell events do come at a pretty fast pace though. There's also benefits events happen fairly often where you can free outfits just for dying your dailies and you get free stuff on special occasions like server anniversaries and Nikki's birthday. Basically if you log in everyday wait you'll get something cool eventually. Some of the motion poses do cost money, but there are few one as well. The jump pose is free and they're going to give out a free dance move one in the inspiration space soon which is nice (or at least they did in the Chinese server so I assume that what the dance practice goal in the diary is for)

So basically it's not the easiest mobile game to play without spending money, but definitely not the worst out there either and I think the story and outfits are cool enough to be worth it. That said gacha games in general can be addictive and if that's something you are more vulnerable too you should steer clear of it or have someone else monitor the amount you're spending if you do decide to join.

It's takes up a lot of storage space and it doesn't always run very well on older or cheaper phones. If you have a tablet or something it might run better on that. I also know some people use an android emulator and play on the computer so that's also an option if it doesn't run well on your phone.

VOY: Caretaker (Part 1)

Just like its predecessor, Deep Space Nine, Voyager opens with an expository text crawl explaining the current galactic situation. We learn about the Maquis – a plucky, non-Federation rebel group fighting the Cardassian occupation – then jump right into a heated space battle!

Fire! Raise shields! And somebody turn off that damned smoke machine!

As one would expect from a ragtag group of resourceful underdogs, the Maquis wear mismatched outfits made for trouble; we’re introduced to Chakotay and B’Elanna, both sporting rolled-up sleeves and tough leather vests.

Forearms mean business.

Tuvok is here too, although we don’t get a good look at his outfit from any of the angles in this scene. Chakotay makes up for it, however, by giving us a bit of a catwalk look at his duds: the patterned shirt is lovely, and probably meant to evoke his Native American heritage.

Actually, this may be the least problematic reference to his “heritage.”

Next, we’re taken to a sunny, verdant New Zealand penal colony, where Captain Janeway is busy picking out a boy toy. Unsurprisingly, we’re working with the same Starfleet uniforms currently in use on DS9, with a coloured section on the shoulders indicating department, and a grey turtleneck with rank pips underneath.

Get used to it – Voyager won’t be receiving wardrobe updates for about the next seven years.

Janeway finds the man she’s looking for – the boyishly handsome Nick Locarno Tom Paris – and hands him a “get out of jail free” card in the form of an invitation to join her crew. Tom considers her offer, weighing the excitement of adventure against having to give up his stylish prison coverall; the garment is concrete grey, with subtle shade differences across the chest and shoulders, not unlike a Starfleet uniform. I appreciate the asymmetry of the dark grey extending down the left sleeve, but not the right. The flap closure at the front is a little bit sexy, too, and along with the rolled-up sleeves, gives a “greasemonkey” vibe we’ll come to see a lot of from Tom.

The ankle monitor makes a nice accessory, too.

Meanwhile, Voyager is docked at Deep Space Nine, and we cut to a character we all know and love: Quark! …In the process of ripping off young Harry Kim. Although Quark’s ensemble technically belongs to another show, I still have to award it “best outfit” for the episode. The matching teal hues in the pants, shirt, and jacket is a beautiful bit of coordination, and it’s obvious the costume department has had a few seasons to perfect the character design. It’s not unusual for a Ferengi to dress so lavishly, but Harry should probably take it as a warning sign that he’s about to be ripped off. 

I’m sure he’ll be fine.

Up on the ship, Janeway has a chat with her fiancé Mark, who’s sporting a handsome wool-looking jacket in a dark mustard colour. Mark only gets about six lines and thirty seconds of screen time, so his outfit has to really pull its weight here building a character: handsome but approachable, smart but unpretentious, still shops at GAP in his 50s.

Sensible. I meant sensible.

There are no new costumes for a while as we meet the ship and crew, but we do get a few nice close-ups of Janeway’s lovely, elaborate updo – a more complicated style than the “bun of steel” she’ll wear in coming episodes.

Ignore the wig glue. It’s just… space sweat.

I suspect the stylist wanted all those extra swirlies in there because, once the action begins and our crew gets roughed up a bit, Action-Tousled Janeway looks amazing.

Slay, girl.

Harry and Tom go to sickbay, which is going to be full of patients very soon, and is also on fire. It’s hard to get a good look, but Harry puts on a cool Starfleet-issue oven mitt with metallic fabric to extinguish the fire.

Was that hole always there?

The least visible costume prop of all time.

In all the commotion, the crew realizes they’ve been zooped across the galaxy – 75,000 lightyears from home. But just when you thought we’d be stuck on a spaceship with one set of clothes for the next seventy years, we’re zooped again… to a southern country farm?! It looks exactly like Earth, and what looks like a perfectly human grandma comes out with cookies and lemonade to greet Janeway and co.

Floral fabric, ivory cameo, plate of cookies… yep, that’s a grandma.

She’s not alone, and soon the farm is full of completely “normal” “humans” having a good time, dancing and playing music. It’s literally the friendliest alien welcome party in history, but the Voyager crew are spooked. Moreover, they seem confused by the folksy straw hats and denim overalls.

Highly suspicious flannel.

With one exception: Tom Paris has quickly made friends with one of the illusory farm girls, a young woman in a cute printed dress with a belt, mary janes, and bright white ankle socks.

First contact: cottagecore edition.

However, Paris’ new friend gets a bit upset when they turn down her extremely tempting offers of a “real private” root cellar, a duck pond, and deviled eggs, and suddenly the farm folk aren’t so welcoming. The crew is zooped back to the ship – mostly. Harry Kim is missing.

Get outta here! And take your synthetic fabrics with you!

Discovering a similar absence on the Maquis ship – B’Elanna is also missing – the two crews decide to work together to track down their people.

As they discuss plans, we finally get a good look at Tuvok’s Maquis disguise: he wears a cropped, open jacket made from a textured brown-green fabric, with sleeves in a lovely deep blue. The trim between the different fabrics is subtly shiny, giving the impression of leather straps. More importantly though, he wears an orange shirt underneath that appears to be stained at the collar – is that greenish hue Vulcan blood??

What happened to you in the Maquis, Tuvok?!

The episode isn’t out of costumes for us yet, though, and it’s a hard pivot from the dirty, worn-in clothes of the Maquis – as the viewpoint switches to that of our missing crewmembers, we find them in white clothing that resembles hospital gowns, albeit with an awkward strap closure that goes all the way around the back.

You know that strap has come undone and dipped in the toilet at LEAST once.

We also get our first look at the Ocampa, who at the moment are also clad in white, gauzy outfits. Unlike the “patients,” they wear strange fruit-netting-ish infinity scarves around their neck and head.

Keeps their melon safe.

The mesh fabric looks like it might be some kind of protective gear, but no, as we explore more of the compound, we see the truth: Ocampans just don’t know how to wear a scarf.

So close…

Hospital Bed Accessories: Enhancing Patient Comfort and Care

Hospital bed accessories are a significant element that helps to improve the general experience of patients in health facilities, increase their comfort, safety, and recovery. Though the bed itself is very crucial for patient care, the right accessories make all the difference between a more efficient and effective healthcare environment. Hospital bed accessories are those which are necessary for the patients to recover, starting from assisting medical staff in their duties up to providing the necessary tools for the recovery of the patients.

What Are Hospital Bed Accessories?

Hospital bed accessories are a variety of items that can be added to a hospital bed to enhance functionality, comfort, and safety. They are designed to complement the bed and make it easier for healthcare professionals to provide care while improving the patient's experience. Accessories can range from simple additions like bed rails and mattresses to more advanced items like IV poles, overbed tables, and patient lifts.

Common Hospital Bed Accessories Common types of hospital bed accessories include bed rails. Bed rails are one of the most critical accessories for the hospital bed because they prevent the patients from falling and are important to those patients who are confined to bed or are immobile. Bed rails can be moved according to the requirement of the patient, which is either safety or support to enter or leave the bed.

Overbed tables An overbed table is an attractive addition to any hospital bed for the patient since it can facilitate eating, reading, writing, or use electronic devices. Height adjustment is facilitated by the position of these overbed tables for comfort and flexibilities while using them for one's recovery needs.

IV Poles: Patients who require intravenous fluids, medications, or nutrition need IV poles. IV poles are adjustable and can be placed beside the hospital bed. This allows health care professionals to monitor and manage patient treatments with ease.

Mattress Covers: Mattress covers serve to clean, keep dry, and free from contamination the bed used in hospitals. These are perhaps one of the most crucial pieces of infection control because it prevents the spread of bed spread infection or mattress breakdown, which may result from spillage or body fluids.

Patient lifts and slings Patient lifts are utilized to assist the transfer of patients who have restricted mobility or cannot move independently. The use of patient lifts makes sure that the patients and health care providers are safe during transfer. It ensures that the caregiver is not hurt or strained by the patient during transfer. In many cases, slings are used in combination with lifts for support of the patient's body during the transfer process.

Positioning Cushions and Supports: Positioning cushions and supports are designed to enhance patient comfort by providing additional support and helping to reposition patients in bed. These accessories help reduce pressure points, minimize discomfort, and promote proper alignment of the body to prevent complications such as bedsores.

Benefits of Hospital Bed Accessories

The first key advantage of having hospital bed accessories is increased patient comfort and security. Accessories, such as the bed rails, ensure the security of patients; at the same time, some accessories make patient repositioning and mobility possible. Other overbed tables as well as some comfort-related accessories help enhance a patient's stay in the hospital.

To the healthcare providers, hospital bed accessories help in efficiency and efficacy by availing themselves of convenient solutions for assistance with patient care. Adjustable tables, IV poles, and lifts make it easier for staff to do treatments, monitor patients, and actually care for the patients.

Wearable technology is all the rage, and as the name suggests it is a techie device that is worn and used to track and gather information. But what is it really? Is it shoe? Is it a computer? Is it a computer-shoe? How does one possibly reconcile technology gadgets with fashion wear? That’s like suggesting Hewlett-Packard and Prada go together like peanut butter and jelly, which clearly they do not...or do they? The beauty of innovation is that it can take us where we have never been and we could not imagine, and this is the case with wearable technology. Essentially, wearable technology also referred to as wearables is futuristic fashion ware that has been brought to the present by a rapidly progressive technology industry. It is an electronic piece of equipment that can be worn such as glasses, watches, headbands, caps, bracelets, and even footwear, but it is also a sophisticated computer that communicates and can carry information to and from a network. Wearables are typically items that can be worn comfortably just like ordinary items and accessories, but carries the function of performing (or outperforming) the same computing tasks of laptops and mobiles. Furthermore, wearables incorporate pioneering sensory and scanning features such as biofeedback and tracking of physiological function, making your new computer-shoe a practical and revolutionary must have. If you are like most people, you might think this sound like a sci-fi film, but wearable technology is a fast growing market with expanding popularity. At the same time its also getting affordable to many economical gadget. Here are ten industries where wearable technology will become common, if not already the norm: Healthcare And Medicine This field is perhaps how wearable technology could potentially have the most impact. Wearable technology allows busy medical professionals to better care for and monitor their patients. Doctors could use them as references to check patients’ medical histories while examining them, in order to better diagnose and monitor them. Care providers could be notified instantly of any changes in condition, facilitating faster responses. One such example is the wearable thermometer, which actually primarily targets parents. A Bluetooth-enabled thermometer records temperature every 10 seconds for up to 24 hours and can alert your phone when it spikes. This data can then be sent directly a doctor or clinician. You can also take notes about eating, sleeping or medication the child is given. Law Enforcement Wearables are already tracking military personnel and providing information about an individual’s location and even their physical health, giving command data to make informed decisions Worn as easy as easy as a wristwatch they make it significantly easier for injured or lost personnel to contact a medic or be rescued. A combination of cameras and sensors packaged in a wristwatch would give these workers instant information about their surroundings. Use of such technology could literally be a lifesaver. Advertising Increased interest in wearables has provided a huge opportunity for advertisers. Every new screen presents a chance to experiment with new advertising techniques. Once these new ideas are put in place, advertisers can monitor their effectiveness in "real-time" using their own wearable devices. Wearables also serve as a means of seeing how well the advertisements integrate into the user experiences. Retail In warehouses and shops, wearable devices are being used to simplify filling orders and restocking. As a result, wearables increase the overall efficiency of a retail organization and eliminate redundancy. They take the place of manually checking lists and counting inventory by completing these tasks for the employee. This simplified system also permits employers to track employee performance and update task lists throughout the day. Wearables bangles and bracelets report data to the user, thus enabling them to increase customer service response time to address public concerns or accolades.

Event Management Event planners can use wearables for each step of the planning and event management process. Guest lists, RSVPs, seating charts, and schedules can all be created and updated on wearable technology. Arguably the biggest enhancement wearables provide is the ability to simulate 3D spaces. Different organizational set-ups can be tested to optimize crowd flow, access to vendors, and use of space. Insurance Insurance providers can use wearable technology to calculate insurance rates while conducting a risk assessment of the insured. Wearables would also give insurers with information that could be used to weed out fraudulent claims. Specifically, this industry relies on fitness trackers to access health risks for potential covered individuals. These wearable devices monitor breathing, heart rate, calorie intake, sleep, hydration, and even pain management. Construction And Maintenance Essentially wearable technology would provide repair workers with hands-free information on their tasks. It gives them access to diagrams, instructions, and notes. It also can be used to better analyze problems as a reference resource or by simulating the particulars of a case. Entertainment As with advertising, wearables generate enormous space for innovative and creative entertainment. Perhaps the most exciting use of wearable technology is in visual entertainment where it can be used to create immersive experiences for viewers and gamers. Content creators can also use wearable technology to remain in close contact with their fan base, providing updates on products to a more engaged audience. Sports And Fitness For athletes involved in impact sports, Reebok distributes a sensor device which can be worn under a helmet and alert hockey or football coaches with a series of lights when a player’s head has suffered an impact that might be associated with a concussion. There are already several smart watches and activity trackers on the market such as Fitbit that records how many steps you take throughout the day, monitoring your heart rate, and calculating the calories you burn to help you reach fitness goals. Education Both teachers and students can benefit from the use of wearables. In the classroom, teachers can use them to record video, plan lessons, and for student activities. Wearables can make grading easier and help ensure academic honesty (open grade books lying on the teacher's desk are so tempting!). Takeaway As one can see, this craze is far reaching and appeals not only to a niche field but also to the everyday consumer. Because a potential use in various industries continues to grow, companies are committed to manufacturing accessories and other wearables that can do everything from charge your smartphone to monitor your heart rate. And for the fashionistas out there, designers are working to create stylish wearables that are trendy without sacrificing the efficiency.
