Portugal’s 2001 decriminalization law that saw such success crucially did more than decriminalize drug possession. It also set up robust harm reduction as well as treatment and recovery programs. Those in active addiction could get clean paraphernalia and medical supervision as well as methadone, which eases opioid withdrawals. Those caught with drugs are sent to dissuasion commissions, which determine if the user is addicted, and if so, recommend treatment programs. If the addict voluntarily chooses to attend treatment, the commission books it for them, and they can attend for free. After residential treatment programs, recovering addicts get job support from the government, including loans to start worker cooperatives. Portugal treated addiction as a health issue rather than a criminal one, and unlike the United States, it treated health care as a right. Amid an economic crisis, budget cuts and outsourcing destroyed Portugal’s world-renowned drug treatment system. In 2012, “Portugal decentralized its drug oversight operation” as “a funding drop from 76 million euros ($82.7 million) to 16 million euros ($17.4 million) forced Portugal’s main institution to outsource work previously done by the state to nonprofit groups.” At the same time, the country’s Institute for Drugs and Drug Addiction was disbanded and absorbed into the National Health Service, which simultaneously had its own budget cut by 10 percent. The result: year-long waits for state-funded rehabilitation treatment, and a sharply decreasing number of people treated. Blaming government disinvestment, João Goulão — Portugal’s drug czar since 2005 and the architect of the decriminalization policy — said, “What we have today no longer serves as an example to anyone.” Speaking almost a decade ago, a dissuasion commission member said, “If the person shows up at ten o’clock in the morning, we can schedule them for one o’clock in the afternoon at the treatment facility in order for them to start the analysis.” With wait times for treatment in Portugal going from four hours before the effects of austerity kicked in to an entire year, is it any mystery that Portugal’s drug statistics have been getting worse?

The Districts

Silver Bones (residential)

Sanctuary

The air is kind. The air is kind, and the streets are clean, and there are places to sit and rest and watch the world go by. Streetcars are regular, and the buildings are eclectic, and there are children waiting under colorful lamps. It’s never exactly quiet, but it’s never crowded either. There’s someone offering food, a blanket, a hand, a young child offering up a glass of lemonade. It’s calm. It wants you to relax. It wants you to let your guard down and find somewhere to call home.

While the entirety of the Torn Veil has residential housing, the Silver Bones district is a bit quieter than the hustle and bustle of the trading districts. Shops and services are more tailored for residents, offering home goods, furniture, and cheap groceries for its residents. Lamps and lanterns light up the many corridors and bridges, bathing the whole district in soft lights of every color. Many who work in the city live in Silver Bones, whether they stock stalls in the stores or work at the Necropolis.

Shadow Puppets (entertainment)

Reflective

The song ever plays on, but what does it say about you? Why do you end up in front of a 1920s speakeasy instead of a tavern? Why go to a crass theater production instead of an orchestral ensemble? Why do you pick out one of the overlapping buildings instead of another, watch one street performer over another? The buildings all blend together through space, but go inside one and it’s like stepping back in time. Reality is fuzzy at the seams, so you have to pick what you see. Why did you pick it?

A brightly colored district where reality seems especially fuzzy at the seams. Buildings seem to fade into each other, overlapping to show architecture styles that have only one unifying theme: they’re all from places long, long in the past of their respective worlds. Strange music echoes down the streets, drawing people deeper into the maze of colors and sights and sounds. Theaters are packed day in and day out, ghostly bards and their living apprentices keeping shows running regardless of the hour of the day, while skeletal stuntmen and acrobats perform feats impossible for the living at strange circuses.

Dutchman's Docks (port)

Transitory

The ironic nature of a port is that no one ever stays for long. Sure, there’s places to stop in, grab a drink, warehouses store goods, places for people to sit down and chat and catch up, certainly. But it’s a working place, and it feels like a working place, and it’s not a place most folks stay for long. There’s work to be done, places to be, things to sell, and the roads are wide and they seem to get a little wider when crates are being sent elsewhere. Everyone is going elsewhere. The city calls the land folk further in, and the sea calls the sailors back, and the water itself calls the dead to find what they lost. It’s not a place to stay. Maybe that’s not a bad thing.

Ghostly ships sit docked next to modern sailboats and larger vessels on the easternmost side of the city, all laden with goods. Occasionally, ships and aquatic folk appear out in the foggy distance that always seems to swallow the distant sea. Once ships are docked, porters and dock-hands quickly unload goods, bringing them into the city and loading them up with cargo as captains barter over strange alcohols and games thrown with bone dice. It's connected to the Idle River, the main thoroughfare of the Torn Veil.

Kelsara's Tears (administrative)

Stark

There’s something about busy silence. Perhaps in a true afterlife, this would be the place where the dead would be processed and registered, where you might find someone tending the gates or long lists to consult. It has that feel, certainly, but those lists and those meetings are a little mundane and a little boring and a little unremarkable. The buildings are grand, but the tasks are familiar. Repetitive. A little thankless. Grounded. Unusually grounded. Perhaps it’s the fact that its workers know that progress is often a little boring. Perhaps it’s because it was named after a necromancer who became a god and died for what amounted to civic duty.

Named after a long-since dead lich god of a dead world, the most important people in the Torn Veil live and work within sprawling white and gray marble civic buildings that are built so tall that they seem to defy gravity. The Torn Veil’s premier university, the Necropolis, is also within this district, as well as its oldest libraries and grandest museums. Additionally, the district is also home to training facilities for various guards and soldiers that help protect the city from invading forces, all managed by an undead dragon general possessing a dragon-sized suit of armor.

Shrieker Road (artisan)

Divine

If there is a place that is holy, it is in the burning furnaces and pots of paint and piles of metal and under a scoring blade. The air is hot and dusty and sooty and filled with strange smells, and a thousand small workshops weave and beat and shape and mold their creations with loving, awe inspiring care. Art and love and frustration and triumphant joy overflow into the streets, mixtures of prayers for something to finally work and the hard earned sweat of a beautiful blade or a glazed vase or a tapestry embroidered with silk. It never sleeps. It never wants to sleep. Creation never wants to rest, and a thousand, million small gods of their own making would have it in no other way.

Though called ‘a road’, Shrieker Road is a full district that has built up around the bank of the Idle River. Buildings have large windows and plenty of ventilation, and the architecture is as bizarre as it is beautiful. This is where artisans both make and sell their wares, with workshops and kilns going at all hours of the day and paintings drying in a steady fluttering wind. The Torn Veil is especially known for its incredible pottery, crafted using clay dredged up from the bottom of the Idle River.

The Aurora Agora (market)

Nostalgic

It’s a place that you swear you’ve been before. It looks like the main street of a small town you visited once when you were seven and was burned into the back of your mind. It looks like walking down a street you cannot name in the middle of the night. It looks like a city center as you remember it, but it’s never quite real but never not real either. It looks like a movie, a memory, a time you were younger or a time you wish had come to pass. It’s a place that looks like it belongs somewhere else (maybe that’s why it has so many hotels, because it’s made up of those liminal memories).

A section of the city that is caught much more in the darker part of the sky. It is near the West Gate, where the bulk of travelers come into the Torn Veil on foot. Reality is slightly more stable here, a little more grounded, streets and buildings interspersed with fountains, small shrines, and hotels to stay in for a night or two. The district is still busy, certainly, but it is busy in a way that feels more like a city somewhere else. It is nostalgic, and it is strange.

Faded Dreams (market)

Imaginary

The district lives up to its name: it feels like it should only belong in a dream. There’s anything you could ever want if you just look hard enough, just wander down another aisle, talk to another person, find something that you lost or that you never knew you lost. You can’t actually buy an experience, a dream, a lost past, a second chance here, but it feels like you could. You can’t actually learn to fly either, but it feels like you could be like those semi-suspended buildings too. It doesn’t feel real, and somehow it feels less real because you can actually buy things here, as if you could take a daydream and make it solid.

A district centered around a large plaza, or at least, what at one point was a plaza. Now it’s a maze of stalls, booths, blankets, and grills, surrounded on all sides by towering buildings with a million balconies and small terraces. Those who can defy gravity most commonly frequent this market, and it is full of ghosts, avariel, fairies, and all folk who can float and fly. For those that are earthbound, levitation-powered elevators, sky carriages, and sky-trams can ferry shoppers up to the higher shops.

The Undercity (market)

Hidden

The city hides things down below. Doors are hard to find. So are shops. So are people. It’s not that the pathways change but that they shift just enough to make it hard to find things if they don’t want to be found. Sure, there’s folk who take advantage of that (more than a few, not every living dead is a good person, nor admits to be), but others want their privacy, their anonymity. If you want to disappear, the city grants that wish. Just make sure you have a way back if you want to be found again.

Tightly packed buildings crowd this section of town, with doors to taller buildings often leading to the roofs of shorter ones. Getting anywhere requires navigating a maze of back doors, tight alleys, and flickering lights. Shops are packed within, selling small goods, silver trinkets, evil eye pendants, often smaller, nich-er things that only the skilled know how to find. While often considered a seedier part of town, it’s no more dangerous than the rest of the Torn Veil… most of the time, anyways.

The Idle River

Exchange

What are you willing to learn? What are you willing to lose? The river takes and the river gives, just depends on if you want to remember or desperately want to forget. There’s souls in there too, deep, towards the bottom, where the dead rest in blissful stasis and sleep. It’s a place to start anew, and it’s a place to let yourself be washed elsewhere, and the boats on the surface are always full with wares. What have you come to gain? What are you willing to give up?

A slow-moving, meandering river that cuts through the Torn Veil, glittering with small specks of glowing light. Undead who have felt the years begin to deteriorate their mind are often found by the riverbanks, as drinking the water helps to restore their memories and overall clarity. The living can step into the river, but prolonged exposure tends to whisk memories away instead of restoring them. Many long, flat boats are also set up along the riverbanks, crewed by landfolk, while ghostly aquatic merchants barter for strange goods from within the river.

The Farmland

Growth

It’s the only part of the city that’s quiet, because it’s not within the city proper. The plants here are stubborn. So are the people, in fact. You have to be, to put down roots and force cellular production in a place with no light, to coax strange soil and stranger water to make something live in a place of death. It’s not calm out there, it’s feral, it’s almost spiteful, a metaphorical defiant ‘I will do it anyways’ to anyone who listens. Yet, despite it all, things grow. And they are tended to largely by the dead. Yet, despite it all. Things grow.

NAME: Ainscough Dry Cleaner

LOCATION: Downtown (Amity Road)

When one too many ‘animal attacks’ put their dry cleaner service out of business, Danny and Dani Ainscough decided to convert the building into an apartment in order to avoid taking a loss in income. They emptied out most of the laundry machines and sectioned out the area into separate ‘rooms,’ though the building isn’t quite up to code. The outside of the building still sports the awning with the business’s name displayed, but obviously the dry cleaner itself is no longer operational. The current resident, Kit Adebayo, receives a discounted rate for rent in exchange for a promise not to advertise the building’s newfound status as ‘residential.’ 

The Ainscoughs are very ‘hands-off’ landlords, having moved out of Wicked’s Rest after their dry cleaning business shut down. Currently, they travel the country in an RV and occasionally stop in Wicked’s Rest, but they never stay for long.

While most of the laundry machines were cleared out, the Ainscoughs couldn’t find a way to remove the conveyor belt without damaging the structural integrity of the building. Kit makes good use of this, hanging her clothes on the conveyor belt and using it to help her pick her daily outfits with more ease.

On more than one occasion, the apartment has had various infestations of different supernatural creatures. It was one such infestation — a group of gremlins, to be exact — which put the dry cleaner out of business. The lights inside the apartment are still a little odd as a result, sometimes flickering at odd intervals. 

Despite having previously been used as a business, the building’s current status as a resident means that vampires can’t enter without an invitation. Kit knows. She’s tested it multiple times. Better safe than sorry!

There’s a small loft above the main apartment that Kit is working to convert into a secondary bedroom. Whether or not the Ainscoughs are aware of this plan is up for debate.

In addition to the conveyor belt, the lockers from the dry cleaning business remain in the apartment and are used by Kit for storage.

Shadows, Living Dolls, Veiled Dolls, Scorches and Morphs

The Shadows House (シャドーハウス Shadō Hausu?) is a manor built atop of a cliff, in which Shadows live as nobles, serviced by their Living Dolls. It is composed of two buildings, namely the Children's Building and the Lord Grandfather's Wing. The buildings are connected to each other by the Passageway of Glory. Living Dolls and Shadows who try to escape the Shadows House will be attacked by arrows. Even if they dodge the arrows and head to the entrance, they will only be greeted by the bottom of the cliff. The only thing that connects the Shadows House to the outside is the Soot Train.

Origins

Over 50 years ago, the Shadows House was once Mirrors House before it was attacked by Morphs.

Children's Building



The Children's Building (こどもたちの棟とう Kodomo-tachi no Tō?) is the building in which Children of the Shadows House live, including those who have yet to Debut. The Shadows and the Living Dolls are separated into two different wings depending on their gender – the Boys' Wing and the Girls' Wing. The Star Bearers have their own rooms, with allowed visits, but they close at 6PM.

The house is divided into multiple teams, each having 3 or 4 members. So far, the only teams shown have unilaterally consisted of 4 members. Among these teams, the Star Bearers are the ones with the highest authority, and they essentially watch over the house as a whole.

Aside from the Star Bearers, there are also 2 special teams, namely the Research Team and the First-Aid Team. The former is dedicated to researching and creating inventions, while the latter is dedicated to treating and taking care of sick Dolls. The leaders of these 2 teams are both Star Bearers, though it's not certain whether being part of the Star Bearers is a strict pre-requisite to leading these teams.

Main House

Great Hall: The main room of the house. Living Dolls organize in teams to clean the immense hall.

Hall of the Cleaning Implements: It is where the cleaning tools for the Living Dolls are kept.

Classroom: A classroom where new Living Dolls learn about their cleaning duties.

Maze Garden: The place where Kate and her friends debuted. Its a big garden ideal for meetings or relaxing, it has a few small greenhouses where they can cultivate fruits like oranges.

Conservatory: One of the Hobby Rooms. A place to cultivate flowers and fruits like oranges. Patrick and Margaret visit here frequently.

Library: One of the Hobby Rooms. A place for Shadows to borrow books to learn more about different topics, like marriage.

Music Room: One of the Hobby Rooms. Shadows with interest in music can pass their time here. Some of the instruments include violins and a piano.

Dance Hall: One of the Hobby Rooms. Shadows with interest in dancing like Maryrose can pass their time here.

Training Room: Supervised by Susanna, a large room where Shadows with their soot power awakened can receive special lessons and train. Shadows without soot power don't know about this place.

Soot Management Facility (Sootmain): An important facility that pulverizes the soot from the children's building at conveys it to the Lord Grandfather's wing.

Intermediate Facility: A facility that manages soot-blowing fans, conducting the soot in the rooms to go until the soot-crushing room.

Soot Pipes and Soot-Crushing Room: All the clean up soot collected in the Shadows' rooms and the training room goes through these pipes. A pipeline goes under the Passageway of Glory where the soot-crushing room process it to be used as an energy font in the Lord Grandfather's Wing.

Research Room (Laboratory): A room where Oliver and the Research Team build and test their inventions. It is located underneath the house but is rarely used, with the Research Team instead opting to use a large cabin in the garden for the extra space.

Washing Room (Medical Wing): A place where Dolls can clean themselves. There is a lot of rooms with bathtubs and showers for Dolls to bathe in pairs. There is also another room where they can change their clothes properly, check their heights, size height, and others details. The medical wing that Susanna and the First-Aid Team take care of is also located here and they can treat ill Shadows who are sick with Soot Sickness.

Veiled Dolls' Rooms: Underneath both Children's and Lord Grandfather's Wings in confined and dim individual rooms for them to only sleep, wake up, and dress up. It is also where the Kitchen and Laundry of the house is located since neither Shadows nor Living Dolls need to cook or wash clothes.

West Wing



Boys' Rooms: contains the rooms of the male Shadows which are connected to their Living Dolls' rooms. Shadows that haven't debuted yet can't leave their rooms.

Girls' Rooms: contains the rooms of the female Shadows which are connected with their Living Dolls' rooms. Shadows that haven't debuted yet can't leave their rooms.

Star Bearers' Residential Tower

Meeting Room: Star Bearers use this room for their reunions about important matters to their decisions. They can also call the members of the children's building to make announcements

Coffee Room: Where the coffee beans are brewed for the Rejoicing Party, it's located in the first floor of the tower.

Gym: The place where Benjamin and his Doll train their physical body with equipment supplied by Oliver.

Passageway of Glory

The Passageway of Glory (栄えい光こうの廊ろう下か Eikō no Rōka?) is the place that separates the Children's Building from the Lord Grandfather's Wing. It also leads to the underground of the Lord Grandfather's Wing.

Lord Grandfather's Wing



The Lord Grandfather's Wing (おじい様さまと共ともにある棟とう Ojī-sama to Tomo ni Aru Tō?) is the building in which Adults of the Shadows House live.

The building is split into 3 floors, with the Shadows living on higher floors holding more power and authority than those living below. It also have a basement where children gathers together after a new debut ends.

Basement Floor



The Basement Floor is where the Debut Hall, the place Shadows test if they match with their Living Dolls, is located. If they pass, the Shadow gets access to the rest of the children's wing (aside from their own rooms), and the Living Dolls can act as their faces. Else, they are disposed of. This floor also have an audience room, where the Star Bearer reunites with the Children's Building warden, an Unification Room for the invited Shadows to fuse, Veiled Doll's quarters, a prison and access to the garden.

First Floor

On the First Floor, residents are undergoing or have recently completed Fusion. As of now, the only known member of the First Floor is Lewis.

Second Floor

On the Second Floor, residents aim to become part of the Third Floor. When a Shadow reaches the second floor they may gain duties such as organizing a Debut, being the Children's Building Manager, carrying out an Obligation, or having an administrative job over one of the House's many villages.

Third Floor

On the Third Floor, residents gain maximal influence; those who currently reside there are, specifically, The Lord Grandfather, Dorothy, Joseph, Ryan, and Sophie. They are the ones who have the highest power of authority in the Shadows House and, since they rarely show their faces, nobody, include the others adults in the house, knows their appearances.

Hierarchy System

Faceless Shadow: These are Shadows who have yet to debut. They are unable to leave their rooms since they are still incomplete Shadows. They are to be tended to by their Living Dolls who clean and influence their personalities. The Dolls are to give a goodnight kiss every night to help stabilizes the mimicry process.

Debuted Shadow: After the debut, the Shadow can finally leave their rooms and interact with the others members of the house, having a schedule of hobbies and activities during the day. The Living Doll of a debuted Shadow is called a Face and when using the portrait attire, they need to show their master's feelings.

Team Leader: A Team Leader has to report the activities of the members of the team they are in charge of to the star bearers. One will need good leadership skills to become a team leader.

Star Bearer: Originally a step before reaching adulthood, the current Star Bearers are the ones who lead all the others children in the house and report current events to the adults (more specifically, only to the current manager of the children's building) to check who can be invited. Only they can lead special teams like the Research and First-Aid teams.

First Floor Adult: The first stage of adulthood. After the Fusion, they need to stabilize their transformation and get used to having their own face.

Second Floor Adult: Here is where important adult Shadows live; however, most of them stay outside of the manor to keep order of the villages. Another important role a second floor Shadow can have is becoming a Children's Building Manager: the Star Bearers needs to report to them and they are also in charge of "welcoming" the invited Shadows.

Third Floor Adult: The most influential Shadows in the house. For unknown reasons, different from first and second floor Shadows, they never reveal their faces, except if they are in charge of the Selection.

Lord Grandfather: The ruler of the Shadows House and said creator of the Living Dolls. A mysterious figure with unknown goals.

Trivia

The ambience of the manor resembles the Victorian Era (around 1850).

According to Chapter 80, there currently are more than 50 children living in the building.

The official English localization differs between Funimation's anime and Yen Press' manga in some terms as well:

Hall of the Cleaning Implements is called Utility Room

Classroom is called School Room

Washing Room is called Washroom

Soot-Crushing Room is called Soot Processing Room

Lord Grandfather's Wing is called The Building at Grandfather's Side

After Volume 5 Team Leaders are called Team Captains

Star Bearers' Meeting Room is called Star-Bearers' Conference Room

Shadow HILLS CALIFORNIA

[bluejaybytes]

like idk their personality what they look like their motives/views? I'm just curious lol

So, first things first. Shockingly, I've actually posted... basically all of my recent art! I normally RARELY post my art on Tumblr, but I've bene in a sharing mood as of late and have been posting things only a few hours after I finish them, so there's honestly... not much new I can post since the only thing that hasn't been posted is a WIP that I'm already planning on posting when it's done (And it is Not in a state I'm ready to post it lol). THAT SAID! I'm gonna talk about Scarlet because she's got art I haven't posted here before <3 Everything's below the cut, because I anticipate this being... very long and rambly. Whoops lol <3

(Note: I put this in a word counter after writing it. It's over 2.3k words. Apologies for being unable to write in anything shorter than an essay)

Normally I don't post anything that's not completely finished, and while the "main" drawing of her is finished in the sense I'm not going back to add to it further, it hasn't been properly colored or lined, it's just cleaned up sketches, so I haven't posted it before. It's a good few months old and it shows, but it's honestly fine lol. The icon is from earlier this week however, I just typically don't post the icons on their own, since I've made a ton of them and also showed them off in the relationship web I posted last week (Which honestly I will probably post again once a few more OCs have their icons made and added properly)

Scarlet's from the Octarian domes, specifically one that hosts a decently large amount of residential areas, and has two younger sisters, Crimson and Ruby. Scarlet's around ~24, Crimson's ~21, and Ruby's ~17, and they're all quite close growing up, with Scarlet very much embracing her role as the oldest of the bunch and always sticking by them. In fact, it's her desire to be close with her sisters that essentially ends what was a promising career as a weapons engineer for her early. Weapons engineering is a very prestigious role, and Scarlet's both incredibly interested in it and also genuinely very good at it, but due to how highly it's regarded, it also means she'd be unable to be around her sisters anymore, as she'd be too busy with training and working in other domes and with other engineers, so she ends up leaving weapons engineering behind, and instead just trains as a regular soldier.

Even with her staying in a more average position, she's still very talented, and she fairly quickly ascends through the ranks and ends up as an Elite and assigned her own squad to lead, stationed out in the outskirts of the dome she grew up in. Despite her rank as an Elite however, she keeps the traditional red coloration that's typically only for lower ranked soldiers, both as it's a shared family color, and her squad all respect her enough that she doesn't feel she needs to conform very strictly to the hierarchy for colors to have them recognize her as in charge.

Through her own request, Crimson, who's just a regular soldier, is part of her squad, and while their job is considered very important, as they guard the exits between the domes and the surface, it's still... very boring. There's really nothing around, and most of their days are just... patrolling, finding nothing, going back to camp. It's a very soulsucking job for her in all honesty, a lot of the glamor that draws people in to the military life is just... nonexistent. It's miserable and she's achieving nothing. She stays where she is, she wants to be there with Crimson, and she gets to stay, while not really... in contact with Ruby, as there's no cell service all the way out where they are, but close enough to Ruby that if there was some family emergency, she'd be able to get home quickly to be there with her. At this point, she's just counting the days until she's able to quit, or at the very least, take an extended break to go back home and feel like a person again.

It's on one of her patrols, however, that she ends up running into May. She'd gotten the command to stay alert for some teenage runaways that'd escaped police capture a few months prior, but, unbeknownst to her, May was one of them. While she'd never really known May specifically, she'd been the childhood best friend of Ruby, so Scarlet knew her from all the time that Ruby had spent with her, and all that she talked of her. She'd already been feeling miserable and disillusioned with her life as a soldier at this point, and the realization that this fugitive she'd been keeping an eye out for was a kid she personally knows, and knows wouldn't be a runaway for no reason, is just another moment of question for her.

May doesn't really recognize her at first, with it having been years since Scarlet had actually been home, but once Scarlet calls her by name, May remembers her, and pleads to not be taken back home. Scarlet, while not knowing her exact motives for running away, definitely empathizes in that moment, as someone who's tired of the miserable state they're living in, and she also just can't sit idly by watching a homeless teen beg to be given even the slightest mercy. She tells May she's not going to turn her in, and instead invites her to sit down and just talk with her. Neither have had any new company in months at this point, so she figures it'll benefit them both.

Their conversation goes well, and while May isn't willing to talk about the circumstances that've lead to her being on the run, they both are very clearly able to recognize themselves in each other. In the end, Scarlet knows she can't just let a homeless teen go hungry, and tells May to meet her out there the next day at the same time, and that she'll give her some of her rations for that day to hopefully help out a bit. May's still a little unsure, especially since she doesn't like to stay in one place for too long, as well as the fact she's still trying to find her way to the surface, but she's not really in a position where she feels she can deny a safe, reliable food source, so she agrees.

It's, of course, at their next meeting that Scarlet notices May barely picking at the food she's brought. It's at this point Scarlet realizes that May's not just one of the runaways she'd heard about, but that she's the one who's known to be traveling with a kid. May hadn't wanted to actually talk about it before, as her little sister, June, stays behind at their temporary camp for her own safety while May goes out scavenging for food and looking for a way out, but this only further pushes Scarlet into wanting to help her. She already felt like she had a moral obligation to help May before, but now knowing she's also got a kid with her means Scarlet absolutely can not and will not let them go without her help, at least as much as she can offer.

Scarlet ends up going from giving half of her own days food rations, to stealing from the food supply, as well as grabbing some spare clothes, to make sure May and June have enough to eat and take care of themselves a bit better than they were before. Ultimately, her squad can always request more supplies, but May and June aren't in a position to help themselves like she can. This, however, does not go unnoticed. Her squad notices the lessened rations, and ask her what she thinks is happening. She insists it must be a sea slug, or at least some kind of animal that got into their food supplies, it's happened before, it's fine, they can just go ask for backup, don't worry about it. For the most part, her squad accepts her dismissal of the topic. They do find it weird, but ultimately, Scarlet has never been one to do anything like this before, and the long time away from home has been weighing on everyone, so it's most likely just stress getting to her.

Crimson notices, though. She also notices Scarlet's retreat from their usual nightly chats, instead opting to go on "destress walks", or "extra patrols", excuses varying from night to night. Scarlet's dismissal of the issue, her increasing time spent away from camp, and her lessened time spent with her all eventually push Crimson into stalking her on one of her times out of camp, and watches from a distance as Scarlet actively betrays her squad and her duties as a soldier to hide, feed, and protect a fugitive runaway. Crimson absolutely loses it, jumping out from her hiding place and revealing herself to have seen everything, and tells Scarlet she needs to hand May over now. Scarlet just can't do it. She hesitates before telling Crimson she won't, not because she's hesitating in her decision, but because she's scared of admitting it. She doesn't want to live this life, where a scared, homeless teenager and her little sister are expected to instantly be arrested and turned in, where they guard the exit to somewhere they're constantly told is hostile to them, yet have spent all of this time and never seen a proper enemy soldier. She's not going to turn May in for the crime of wanting to leave. And then Crimson attacks her

Scarlet wasn't sure how Crimson was going to react, but it certainly wasn't what she was expecting, as Crimson ends up pulling out a pocket knife she'd been carrying, and fully intends to seriously harm her. Scarlet's caught entirely off guard, and the fight goes very poorly for her, especially considering Scarlet's only weapon was an Octo Shot she didn't have ready, and even if she did, she doesn't want to attack her little sister. Eventually she's able to muster the strength to attack back enough that she gets Crimson off of her, and down long enough for her to take off running. May had bolted the moment the fight broke out, and Scarlet has no idea where she ran off to, but she knows her way out of the domes, having been patrolling the outskirts for this long

It's still over a days walk to the exit before Scarlet is far enough out from her camp that she feels safe enough that she can stop, and really assess the damage Crimson did to her. She's lucky in the sense she'd been carrying some basic first aid supplies on her when everything happened, she always liked having it on her just in case one of her squadmates needed it, but it ends up being enough to prevent her from getting any of her wounds infected. However, the damage is still fairly bad, even if she's able to stop it from getting worse, with Crimson having nearly fully blinded her in one eye, as well as giving her some nasty wounds that eventually scar over. Ultimately, she's lucky she didn't lose the eye entirely, but it's still an absolutely miserable experience regardless.

From there, she makes it to the surface surprisingly easily. She knew the way out, and the exit she took wasn't too far from Inkopolis, so she's able to get there within the month. Her positioning right next to the surface meant she was already required to know some of the Inkling language, so while she's not at all fluent, she's able to get by enough that she's able to pawn off her armor, as well as practically anything that isn't directly necessary to her survival. Her armor specifically is important however, as she wants to get rid of anything that could potentially relate her to being an Octoling soldier, and while she doesn't realize that really no Inklings would think anything of it, she can't risk it. She uses the funds to get herself a place to stay for a while, and is finally able to just rest for a minute.

From there, she actually adjusts surprisingly well to everything on the surface. Her skill with weapon tech is actually in very high demand, as the need for weaponsmiths and repair workers is at an all time high, so she's able to get an apprenticeship at a repair shop in quick time, and not only does it pay well, but she loves the work. While it's not the same as what she was training to do in the military, weapons engineering, she just loves working with weaponry as a whole, and while she doesn't personally play, it's also a reassuring notion for her that she's able to pursue a lifelong passion of hers in a way that isn't actually tied to war and combat, it's all just a silly game everyones playing, there's no actual stakes

It's around two years before she ends up seeing May again, however. After the fight broke out, May ran back to her camp, grabbed June, and just... picked a direction and ran. It took another few months wandering lost before May was actually finally able to make it out, and given how big of a city Inkopolis is, she and Scarlet don't run into each other naturally for quite a long time. They both carry around a lot of guilt surrounding the situation though. Scarlet feels as if she basically just... abandoned May, who was in this desperate situation, and that she should've made more of an effort to look for her before she just left, and May feels like she's responsible for everything that happened to Scarlet. The two meet when May, going in for weapons adjustments to make sure everythings up to date for league regulations for June's first time trying out a game of Turf War, ends up at the shop Scarlet works at. The two are overjoyed to see that they've both settled remarkably well in on the surface, and that they both even made it out in the first place. It alleviates a lot of that guilt for both of them, as while they both end up feeling as though they should've handled the situation differently, this is at least proof neither party ended up worse off afterwards. They're also able to stay in touch after this, which helps them both feel a little less alone as one of only a few dozen Octolings in hiding on the surface.

Ultimately, this is where I stop being able to describe things solely from Scarlet's point of view, as when Crimson reenters the story, there's a lot of extra context that needs to be added as to why everything worked out the way it did, and somehow this has already ended up longer than the time I laid out literally the entire plot of all of my main OCs. Good lord above. I was not joking when I said this would take a long time to write and when I said I'd write a lot.

Sincerely, thank you so much for asking, I do apologize for letting this one... also get out of hand, since this is... a lot of text for anyone to read through, but I do so, so very much appreciate the chance to let myself just kinda shed the feeling of cringe for a moment and just let myself infodump about my OCs lol. Peace and love on planet earth <3

Alt: “Israeli legal rights group issues warning ahead of expected rain. Tania Hary, executive director at Gisha – Legal Center for Freedom of Movement, has said on X that with rain expected in Gaza in the next few days, the lack of sewage treatment is ‘terrifying.’ UNRWA’s Gaza chief had warned earlier that with no fuel being allowed into the besieged coastal enclave, sewage is not being pumped away from homes and waste is not being collected. Thomas White called it a “serious threat to public health”.

Alt: “EU supports ‘immediate pauses’ in Gaza: Borrell. The bloc’s top diplomat made the comment during a news conference following a meeting of foreign ministers in Brussels. The EU is calling for “immediate pauses and humanitarian corridors to be established in order to face the dire situation of the people in Gaza.”Reporting from Brussels, Al Jazeera’s Paul Brennan said the statement is an “incremental” shift from the bloc’s earlier appeal, which called for pauses but did not use the term “immediate”. Still, he said, the bloc has not called for an all out ceasefire, despite pressure from some members. Borrell also said he was traveling to Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories.”

Alt: “More from Gaza health ministry’s daily update. Gaza health ministry’s deputy director general Ismail al-Thawabta just gave the latest updates. Here’s what he said. Ten people – “kids, babies, patients and wounded” – were unable to be rescued at al-Shifa hospital due to operation rooms being shuttered from lack of fuel. If fuel shortage causes communications and internet black, which is projected to happen on Thursday, “all the crimes of Israel will be hidden from the world” and will move the humanitarian crisis from “bad to worse”. Fuel must be allowed into Gaza and Rafah crossing with Egypt must be fully opened. Israel and the international community – particularly the United States – are fully responsible for “crimes against civilians”. The fighting has also destroyed 41,120 residential properties; 94 government headquarters; 71 mosques destroyed; and 253 schools have been damaged. There has been $181m in direct agricultural losses, with 25 percent of agricultural farms destroyed.”

Alt: “‘All primary care for pregnant women has been lost’ Dr Haya Hijazi, who works at al-Hilo Hospital in Gaza City, has said that the collapse of the health system has meant there are no prenatal, neonatal or postpartum services catering to pregnant women, new mothers and newborns. UNFPA, the United Nations sexual and reproductive health agency, said that Gaza is home to 50,000 pregnant women.”

“It also said: 70 percent of those killed and injured so far are women and children. 5,500 women are due to give birth in the coming month – more than 180 births per day. Fuel, medicines, blood supply and other essentials for hospitals are running out. Two truckloads of Inter-agency Reproductive Health Kits have arrived in Gaza containing individual clean delivery kits and supplies and equipment for emergency obstetric care, including anesthesia and supplies for cesarean sections. Some 238 attacks against health care have been reported in the occupied Palestinian territories since the beginning of the hostilities, killing 517 people, according to WHO.”

Alt: “More from UNRWA’s Gaza chief. Thomas White said: “This morning, two of our main water distribution contractors ceased working – they simply ran out of fuel – which will deny 200,000 people potable water.”We earlier reported White’s warning that operations in Gaza by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) would shut down within two days due to fuel shortages. Israel has not allowed fuel to enter the Gaza Strip since before October 7. Earlier on Monday, the health ministry said all hospitals in the northern Gaza Strip had stopped functioning as a result of the impact of fuel shortages and intense ongoing fighting.”

Alt: “Al-Ahli now the ‘only hospital in all of Gaza City’: Doctor. Surgeon Ghassan Abu Sitta spoke to Al Jazeera from al-Ahli Hospital, which he said was now the only operating hospital in all of Gaza City after al-Shifa and al-Quds were forced to almost completely close. “Ever since the collapse of al-Shifa Hospital, we have become the only functioning Hospital in Gaza City,” he said. “If you recall, this is the hospital that was targeted initially by the Israelis at the beginning of the war and so parts of the hospital were damaged,” he said, referring to the October 17 blast at the hospital. Israel has denied it was behind that explosion, which Palestinian health officials said killed over 470 people.”

Alt: “Al-Quds hospital under ‘intense gunfire: Red Crescent. The Palestine Red Crescent says that Israeli military vehicles continue to surround the building, trapping patients and injured people, who have no food, water or power.”

Alt: “Doha denounces Israeli shelling of Qatari organisation in Gaza. Qatar has condemned the Israeli shelling of the Gaza Reconstruction Committee, calling it “a gross violation of international law and an extension of the Israeli modus operandi of targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure”. The foreign ministry called shelling the Gaza-based organisation is “an extension of Israel’s policy to target humans, especially since this committee works on alleviating the plight of Gaza’s population, which has been suffering from the long siege and ongoing aggression”. The ministry also demanded that Israel end its “false justifications” and the spread of “misinformation” that leads to the targeting of civilians and civilian installations.”

Junk Removal at Home

Summer for some is the season to have a great time, get tanned and do a ton of loosening up exercises, for example, pool parties, shooting bands at the driveway, and tossing balls at the yard. Although numerous residential properties situated in suburbia are ideal spots for summer exercises and occasions, there are still a great deal of homeowners out there who haven't set themselves up for the warm season yet. A considerable lot of these season specific exercises need renovating, cleaning, and junk removal projects for it to push through. You should simply call a dumpster removal service and get all the tidying and cleaning done.

The following are a few residential summer exercises where junk removal services prove to be useful.

Bar-b-que. The yearly summer grill parties are conventional occasions to have family, companions and friends and family to come over your put on those warm evenings. It couldn't move beyond an eating table loaded up with tremendous barbecued burgers and canines on your backyard and messing around with an awesome company. But the main issue you have right currently is that your yard has been damaged during winter. You recruited a contractor who restored the wood but left a wreck of paint containers and different supplies on the deck. Perhaps you bought another barbecue but still you track down the old one rusting on the patio. Preparing your bar-b-que place is for sure a seriously tedious undertaking.

Pool Party. Sorting out a pool party is an incredible way to chill the warm and long mid year days. Whether your child needs some companions over for a sprinkle or you mean to consume every one of those colder time of year fats with a couple of regular laps, having a pool at home is an awesome summer resource for each homeowner. Remember to clean up that trash close to the pool and perhaps purchase new types of gear, for example, pool covers, plunging sheets and channels.

Driveway. There are a few rural homes that feature driveways as sports focuses. It is normal to see ball loops at the front drive to perspire every one of those body heat during summer. A large portion of the items might have shifted in the colder time of year, but fallen branches, junk barrels, damaged snow blowers and rusty bicycles might in any case come in the way.

Look no further! Our flat roofing contractor services are here to take the burden off your shoulders. We offer top-notch craftsmanship, excellent customer service, and competitive pricing. So sit back, relax, and let us handle all your roofing needs!

What is a flat roof?

A flat roof is a type of roofing system that has a uniform and level surface. The term “flat” is used in reference to the horizontal plane rather than the sloped or pitched roofs commonly seen on residential and commercial buildings. While most flat roofs are indeed flat, there is usually a slight gradient or pitch to the surface in order for water to drain off.

What are the benefits of a flat roof?

A flat roof has a number of benefits that make it an attractive option for many homeowners and businesses. For one, flat roofs are much easier to maintain than pitched roofs. They don't require as much regular upkeep and can last for decades with proper care. Flat roofs also provide a great deal of usable space on top of the building that can be utilized for storage, solar panels, or even outdoor entertaining areas. Additionally, flat roofs tend to be more energy-efficient than pitched roofs since they reflect heat better in the summer and retain heat in the winter.

What are the different types of flat roofs?

There are four main types of flat roofs: built-up roofing, single-ply membrane roofing, spray foam roofing, and metal roofing. Built-Up Roofing: Built-up roofing is one of the most common types of flat roofs. It is made up of multiple layers of tar and gravel that are applied over a base layer of felt or fabric. This type of roofing is very durable and can last for 20 years or more with proper maintenance. Single-Ply Membrane Roofing: Single-ply membrane roofing is a newer type of flat roof that has become increasingly popular in recent years. It consists of a single layer of synthetic material (usually PVC or TPO) that is applied directly to the deck. This type of roofing is very easy to install and repair, and it can last for 20 years or more with proper maintenance. Spray Foam Roofing: Spray foam roofing is another newer type of flat roof that has gained popularity in recent years. It consists of spraying a layer of polyurethane foam directly onto the deck. This type of roofing provides excellent insulation and can last for 20 years or more with proper maintenance. Metal Roofing: Metal roofing is another option for flat roofs. Metal roofs are made from steel, aluminum, or copper and can last for 50 years or more with proper maintenance.
