Personality : Watatsumi is truly liked and enjoyed by everyone! She’s sweet, soft-spoken, gentle and positive! Unfortunately, she’s a little…offbeat. She has her moments where her head is just completely in space, and she comes off as strange to many. Watatsumi’s always willing to help and believe in you. If you ever feel down and need a hug, Watatsumi’s your girl.

Unique Magic : Raindrop Dewdrop

“Why don’t I show you a little water fairy humor? Raindrop Dewdrop!”

Watatsumi can manipulate any kind of water into a dewdrop and it can mold into anything she thinks about. This includes living beings. Side effects of using this UM are severe dehydration and fatigue.

Backstory :

Watatsumi Kiyomizu, born from a child’s first laugh, landed on top of a lily pad in the center of the flower. Right then, it began to rain. The first droplet of water hit the gentle dandelion and officially born was Watatsumi. She was found by a now fellow water fae who took care of her. The water fae has told Watatsumi that she may call her anything she wanted, to which the water fae became known as Nahla. Nahla taught Watatsumi everything she knows and more, from dewdrop collecting to dancing on glimmering rivers. Watatsumi wanted nothing more than to repay Nahla for all she has done.

It wasn’t until the day Nahla took in a younger water fae named Harbor that Watatsumi was blessed with the idea of being Harbor’s caretaker. Nahla works every night and still manages to care for Watatsumi, making Watatsumi promise to take care of Harbor until she leaves to attend school. And that’s what she did. Watatsumi even became a legal guardian of Harbor once they adopted her. That’s how she became so good with kids, her gentle nature making them feel safe around her. Getting accepted into Scepter Hall Institute was hard due to her not wanting to leave Harbor and Nahla, they insisted and made it known how proud they were of Watatsumi. Watatsumi is grateful everyday for Scepter Hall Institute for bringing her there.

Random Trivia!

Watatsumi’s very close with Meryl, always willing to amuse her silly little endeavors!

As Watatsumi loves designing her own clothes, she makes a bunch of things for her friends! They’re usually made of flowers(that feel comfortable to the touch and don’t overstimulate one’s senses!).

Her favorite professor is Ambrosia! She’s not just saying that because that’s her Dorm Head, she genuinely looks up to her! Ambrosia reminds her of Nahla in some ways.

Watatsumi seems to be popular with Magnijardin students despite the playful rivalry between their dorms! Many residents of the dorm ask Watatsumi to let them style her.

Watatsumi can be very bold with her words if the scenario arises.

When Watatsumi uses her wings, they tend to leave a small trail of droplets behind her.

No one has ever seen Watatsumi as serious as she is when the Four Realm Festival rolls around. She’s very serious about it.

Watatsumi used to be close friends with Porter Pierce before he was expelled, even trying to fight for his stay. They were usual partners for projects and assignments.

Watatsumi is one of the very rare people that can’t be brought down or affected by Mercury. Even if he denies it, They’re besties and shes gonna hang out with him!

She LOVES making visits to NRC. Even though SHI doesn’t have the best relationship with NRC, seeing Tinsley every once in a while is so worth it! and now Porter too!! She’s especially happy to meet other fae’s like her outside of SHI.

Speaking of which, She’s close friends with Tinsley Labelle from Night Raven College!

She picked up on singing while dancing one time, wanting to put lyrics to the sound of the waves. Her voice is soft and lovely! She’ll only sing to certain people though.

Due to her spacey-ness

She’s one of the best Water Dancers in SHI! She gladly performs for anyone and everyone.

She rarely ever refuses to help someone or reject a favor. She needs to be helpful.

[starry-night-rose]

Okay but like- My fanschool for TWST, "Scepter Hall Institute"(Based on the Tinkerbell franchise) would literally be Ellis and Ivy's cottagecore dream XD

Plus, it's also the school where Mercury attends! So if Ellis/Ivy wanted to visit, Mercury can show them around!

Unfortunately SHI is really strict about who gets to visit and they have to be approved by the headmistress so they can get into campus grounds- plus the school has a lot of deadly wild plants and it might not be the safest environment for a person-

So to simplify, what would Ellis and Ivy think of Scepter Hall? (You can add in Le Fay too if you'd like ^^)

OOOOO I LOVE THAT IDEA FOR THE SCHOOL! The school really does sound like a cottagecore dream for the two of them!

Ellis - As humans aren’t allowed into SCI, it might take a bit of effort to get the appropriate permission to allow Ellis to visit! I could definitely see Ellis getting some weird glances from students and staff due to her human nature but nonetheless, she finds the school just breathtakingly beautiful! She has a bit of a bias towards Magnijardin as she adores flowers and because it reminds her of this one fairy from a franchise she remembers loving as a child! Ellis has a tendency to get lost so she definitely needs Mercury to show her around! I hope he doesn’t mind her getting lost every ten minutes. Other than that, like I said before, Ellis adores the cottagecore aesthetic of the school and wishes she could attend one day despite being human!

Ivy - As Ivy is twisted from Rosetta herself, I can definitely see her adoring the school! Being in a school surrounded by magical plants and beauty? Oh she might as well just leave NRC and go here! Ivy might as well become the dorm leader of Magnijardin at this point (even if she isn’t part of the staff) Ivy would love to spend lots of time in the gardens in the school and take care of the plants as well! I also feel like the students of Magnijardin looking up to Ivy as some sort of important figure as she perfectly encapsulates the elegant traits of the garden fairies! I definitely could see Ivy adoring SHI and finding it all very interesting!

In a time where the suns had long dimmed, humanity sought refuge in the ancient and mystical Wilbraham Wesleyan Academy, an institution that stretched across realities and whose spires pierced the heavens themselves.

Legend spoke of the Celestial Sorceress, an alumnus of the Academy, whose powers were said to be woven into the very fabric of space and time. It was her, the one crowned with a halo of cosmic energy, holding spheres of pulsating light, that the Academy summoned in humanity’s direst hour.

They found her standing upon the shores of the forgotten Earth, where the oceans had receded to memory, and the ships of old were but skeletons against the horizon. Her gown billowed like the lost winds of a planet's sigh, its colors a cascade from the gold of vanished stars to the deep black of the void. Her feet, unseen, whispered secrets to the dust that had been ancient when the first human learned to dream.

She raised her scepters, and the dormant suns flickered, coughing sparks into the dying light. The scholars of Wilbraham Wesleyan Academy watched, their breaths held in reverent pause, as the Celestial Sorceress channeled the forgotten energies of the universe.

Whispers of a language not heard for eons filled the air, and the halo behind her blazed brighter, a corona of hope. With each word, the darkened suns brightened, roused from their slumber by the invocation of old magic, the very essence of life that the Academy had safeguarded and taught.

This was not just the revival of light, but the rekindling of possibility, the promise that the Academy had always nurtured within its hallowed halls. It was the knowledge that even as the universe expanded into entropy, there would be those who could stir the embers of creation, who could teach the stars to shine once more.

And so the tale of the Celestial Sorceress would be etched into the annals of the Academy, a story of a guardian who, with the wisdom and power honed within the walls of the Wilbraham Wesleyan Academy, reignited the celestial dance of suns and gave the future back to the children of the cosmos.

[witchinghouracademy]

Does Witching Hour Academy have a specific opinion on my Fanschool for TWST, Scepter Hall Institute ? Cause honestly I'm kinda curious 😅

I think they'd be friendly, a bit mean in a playful way?

Mim does like that "goody-two-shoes" schools exists so those girls don't try to enroll in hers. They have enough applications to go throught each year as it is, and Witchin Hour's controversial nature is something Mim encourages. Nothing exciting happens if you always stick to "good" rules!

Mim likes teasing Crowley and enjoys seeing what he gets up, but she has no issue with Eclair open distaste of him. It's funny! Thought she would tease Eclair too if her daughter is present to try and break her facade. Just for funsies. Also would not be above teaching the kid swear words or dangerous spells so it's best to keep them away.

Though don't expect Mim to really care about Eclair's power or status. She's irreverent to everyone. Grimcrawl would be far more polite and proper.

There might be some cool linked lore in that Mim fought for the fae side during the war Lilia mentions, and knows him from that + she was born human but worked to surpass everyone and anyone in terms of magic.

Dorm wise, I'll do dorm preferences, tho obvs each student's dynamics would vary.

Okeanos would prefer those from the Eauxclaires dorm! Mermaids and water fairies are meant to be friends, right? The mermaid's artistic sense and the fairy's extravagance would make for fun displays together.

Voltlove would, unsurprisingly, mingle more with Bricoler. Tech and tinkering dorms! They would exchange ideas and have some competition going on.

Ryxabyss likely interacts more with Pemburu Hutan. Both value order (well, as much as half of Ryxabyss does) and are strong dorms. I can see them sharing lore of "dangerous" animals in their world and from myths too.

Ignisield is @crestbaby's dorm, but I think they could mingle well with Bystro Letayuschiy. Prideful dorms full of ambitious people! As well as physically very capable.

Desicora is @the27th 's but I'd say they would get along with Magnijardin, since the dorm is very tied to plants. More indulgent than the fairies, but that could bring a nice balance between it's students.

[crazyyanderefangirlfan]

How would Lorelei feel about Scepter Hall Institute?(Fanschool for TWST)

Lorelei finds the school nice and somewhat reminds her of DCA. Has bad blood with some fairies cause 1: Some were nobles from Slumbering Willows and they look down on demons, 2: A few students from Animania saw her eating a dead bird

[sakuramidnight15]

What do Noelle and Harper think of Scepter Hall Institute?

She is very interesting into it!

Aside from that, she wanted to meet different types of specimens of creatures, which includes half-myths and others.

Will definitely want to explore it if anyone doesn't mind!

For the first time, she's amazed and it broke her stoic and cold expression she usually wears at RSA.

She lives in Springfield, and of course she seen a lot of nature fairies, but didn't knew that there are other types of fairies like the students there.

Needless to say, she quietly asked if she can join Noelle in exploring.

[phoenix-manga]

Sort of random question that involves my TWST fan school Scepter Hall Institute, but if how would your DCA dorm leaders feel about Scepter Hall? I would assume DCA would get along more with the academy compared to RSA and NRC for whatever reason😅

Definitely, DCA doesn't have to play babysitter between the princes and villains. Those two have such intense rivalry that DCA needs a break from being a mediator. All the DCA dorm leaders can agree that SHI is pleasant to hang around.

Character blurb:

The moment the heel of his shoe clacks against the ground, the world shifts — there is a static that enters the air and all gazes turn towards him, a name dissipates in reverent whispers into the frigid alpine air. The signature silver of his hair, the striking sharpness of his features, the crackling unrest behind his gaze; you recognize him immediately and his name slips from your tongue, too. (If you don’t, there is no need to worry — someone will remind you.) He must be the sun, you think, for how he immediately he becomes the center of every room he steps into. He needs no cape, no crown, no scepter — he who stands before you is a king and you will recognize his birthright. He must be the sun, you think, for the imperious manner in which he illuminates every surface and sinks into every crevice. The tales of his glory, the talk of his name spares no thought to the unwilling or uncaring. You have heard, too, that he is never alone, that behind him follows his court — and he must be the sun, you think, for the way he walks as though all the world is underneath him, for the way that few are brave enough to fly close, for the way that all who come too close are doomed to perish. A subject slips a whisper into his ear and his gaze turns slowly but surely towards you. Unrest crackles fully into a spark, discontent transforms into a terror-striking curl of the corner of his lips. The static comes into a climax and saturates the air so fully that it replaces the air in your lungs, and your chest sinks in realization. You are wrong. He is not the sun; he is lightning and he is about to strike.

Developed Head Canons:

— WELCOME MY SON, WELCOME TO THE MACHINE;

Born to one of the world’s largest banking magnates and a Luxembourgian princess (who, by marrying his father, had given up all claims to the throne), there is a legacy that he carries heavily on his shoulders. His parents were often busy, occupied with duties that left them little time to attend to precious young Théo, to stoke the boy’s bright burning flames before they burned the world around him. If you ask him where home is, he will recite the address of their stately Swiss manor. If you ask him who his family is, his parents’ names will slip from his lips without hesitation. He gives no weight to these words (home, family) and thus strips them of any power they may have. He doesn’t blame his parents for their distance. It is how it is. He’s fully aware that his path in life has long been decided for him, and he knows that this is the path he must begin to travel the moment he leaves Augustine’s. Carrying this old, heavy name on his shoulders, becoming a banking magnate himself, marrying a respectable girl from a respectable family, producing a respectable heir, continuing the cycle and bringing forth the name Rothschild as his ancestors have done for centuries before him. He pretends he doesn’t know this is his life’s sole purpose, pretends he doesn’t give a damn, and perhaps he truly doesn’t — perhaps when he throws himself into his bacchanalia he does so with a light heart and no care to the collar around his neck, the tether to his future; but nonetheless the tether remains, and he will always wake up the next day a Rothschild. There are a few things that place themselves a hurdle upon his path, but he gives them even littler thought. (Some might even speculate he wished them to succeed, except, really. Théo could never handle life on his own, life without his luxuries, without his fortune, so he’ll do the very bare minimum to keep those, at least.) One hurdle is the events that had occurred that dreadful night, the knowledge of which in the wrong hands could pose a large threat to his future. A second is his stepmother, who detests him, and her two children are in competition with him, who could replace him in a heartbeat if his suitability were contested. The third, of course, is none other than himself and his disinterest in the life that his father leads.

— WE DON’T NEED NO EDUCATION;

Théo’s childhood was an unceasing, ever waging war to contain him — or at least to get him to behave for all of two minutes. Dozens of nannies and governesses and tutors and day schools and faraway estates of distant uncles fell victim to Théo’s unpredictable, thrill-chasing temperament. It wasn’t a craving for violence necessarily, nor was he short-fused and explosive, it was always an itch of boredom which he attempted to quell. Forever impertinent, eager to push the boundaries of what he could get away with, playing games both physical and emotional. No amount of money was sufficient compensation for the terror that Théo reigned, no attempt at discipline had ever procured anything but vengeful rebellion from the little child. Boarding schools had no better luck. Some he had attended for only weeks before expulsion remained the last disciplinary tactic, though more often he took around a term or so to stir up a sufficient amount of trouble, but he would, without a doubt, find it. He was tossed across Europe, in the Schule Schloss Salem, Leysin American School, Institut Auf Dem Rosenberg, the infamously disciplinarian Gordonstoun School, among many, many others. It came as a surprise to everyone when at the age of 14, he had taken an attachment to Institut Le Rosey. Some might ascribe it to the level of prestige of those who walked its halls, amongst whom Théo could not stand out. Others to the level of care Le Rosey provided, its staff attentive to the needs of every student (those, who, among the studentry are degraded as l’esclaves). The real reason remains a secret to most, a reason that even Théo himself might deny.

— ANY FOOL KNOWS A DOG NEEDS A HOME;

Wherever he goes, people gather around him. He loves the attention, loves being a king when it is something he will never truly be. He is unapologetic in what he is, but he will manipulate to get what he wants. A hungry dog is never loyal, and so as little as he actually cares about them, he will reward those who swear themselves to him. Some may call him a natural leader, but this assessment is rather off-base. He’s simply a strong personality that attracts others to him. Should the time to lead come, should the fall come to his court, he will drop each and every one of them to protect himself. Of course, he can never live without people around him, people to control and grovel at his feet. The same rings true for his relationships. He doesn’t ever like being single, but he has little loyalty to whoever he’s with. He gives in easily to his impulses. There are those who think themselves pyrokinetics, those who delude themselves into thinking that fire can be contained, and he loves them the most - he loves proving them wrong.

— ALL YOU TOUCH AND ALL YOU SEE IS ALL YOUR LIFE WILL EVER BE;

He lives an extravagant, libertine lifestyle, his name always associated with expensive alcohol, yachts, overpriced clubs, fast cars, girls on his arms by the dozens. Even this grows tiresome, and Théo is always seeking new opportunities for entertainment. Everyone is lower than him in differing degrees, so it hardly matters to him, and he goes with whoever provides the most excitement. He’s fond of giving into whatever impulse he feels like on any particular day, whether it’s dying his hair platinum, piercing his septum, getting a tattoo here and there, degrading strangers, buying entire buildings, climbing bridges to spray his name in paint across its body, taking trips halfway across the globe. He doesn’t particularly care for what’s perceived as proper (to a certain extent, anyway), and will break laws without concern for consequences. The irresponsibility of his actions have yet to get him into trouble, but one day he’ll push his luck a little too far.

— YOU ARE YOUNG AND LIFE IS LONG AND THERE IS TIME TO KILL TODAY;

Théo had never harbored any particular thirst for knowledge, nor passion for any particular academic field. His concerns rarely went past the minutiae of day-to-day life, always in search of his next great adventure. Wherever he went, he had never had trouble rousing others to action, collecting a court with unparalleled ease. Countless counselors have told him that his energy would be better put to use in positions of leadership, and in Le Rosey he had finally given in. This, mixed with the school’s emphasis on holistic formation, overtly careful guidance, and whatever natural quick-wittedness Théo had, paved his freedom in choosing a tertiary education institution. Fully aware of what lay in his path, considering no other future but this path that lay before him, Théo knew it did not particularly matter what and where he wished to study. His father had read History in Oxford, but his mother had studied Art in St. Augustine’s and the option was always open (though perhaps not encouraged) to him.

— WHEN YOU LOSE CONTROL, YOU’LL REAP THE HARVEST YOU HAVE SOWN;

Despite how it seems that Théo strives for chaos, often in line with what is interesting and entertaining, leading to a reputation of unpredictability, there lies a common denominator in all of his endeavors, whether he acknowledges it or not: control. It is by his will, by his hand that the world turns to chaos around him. Chaos that is beyond his control is a different creature entirely, and it tugs in competition at something deep and primal within him. It draws something truly unpredictable from within the depths of his guts to be thrust upon a situation that is wholly out of his control. And with the events of the past year: his involvement with the death of Frederick Wells, the blood that it has stained onto his hands, the loose ends that come with it and threat that it poses to his future; the way the False Prophet had seized control when it ought to have been he who had done it, and the way that the False Prophet had subsequently dropped him; the looming future which he knows fully well, which he can’t bear to step into, the consequences of their actions towards Frederick Wells, and the unexpected effect it’s had on him. Théo’s never had to learn the meaning of the word consequence, but as something dark mixes with the boredom that has reigned supreme for far too long, something that flickers in barely perceptible flashes behind eyes, in increasingly unappeasable bouts of ennui, it seems that whether he wants to or not, the consequences will come raining down.

Writing Sample:

The alcohol kept their blood hot, pumping through their arteries. The frosty midnight wind closed around the snow-powdered clearing in the woods, a bonfire crackling softly, its orange glow in competition with the moonlight. Some sat around in logs, bottles and cups in hand as loud, raucous conversation ensued. Some leaned against trees, smoke curling from white sticks pressed in between their lips, others pressed against each other, lips locked and bodies pressed together, barely hidden in the darkness of the woods. Music blared and dissipated into the air, hymnals to the frigid forest nymphs that slept within the evergreens - as much someone’s party playlist could be, haphazardly thrown together and tied with the bow of a slightly nauseating pun as a title. The alcohol flowed freely and drove the ease, the candor, the lightness that parties such as these promised. None were passed out yet, but most were just loose enough to be compliant to the path of most amusement. This was always Théo’s favorite moment, there was an invincibility that marked his every movement, potential was at its thickest and he itched for something to take, something to relieve the boredom that pent up in him like a gathering storm. There were no limits — everything that the moon lit was his to take. Faces he knew well, faces he vaguely recognized - his gaze ran over each one like a child picking out a toy from the shelf, deciding on a plaything to curl his fingers around and occupy himself with.

First he would have to rid himself of his little pet, one of the younger ones, a desperate young boy who was so very eager to please. It took so little to receive so much; really, one only had to ask for it. His desperation was amusing and useful, certainly, but tonight it grew blasé and Théo wanted something new. “I’ll tell you,” he said, his voice low, smooth. “There’s something I want to say first, though, and nobody’s listening.”

The boy didn’t even hesitate. There was no feeling greater than this, and really, it oughtn’t have been a thrill anymore, but it always was — the feeling of complete and total control, freely given, offered so willingly at his feet. The boy rose to his feet, called for quiet — and it was a party, of course no one gave a damn, barely even paying attention to the boy’s yells, but he was trying desperately, now finding a rock to elevate himself with and address the crowd. There was a wickedness in Théo’s smirk as he watched the boy in action, as he leaned back, and with a quick sweep of the area, found a gaze settled on him. A peer, an old friend, who shook his head in light-hearted disapproval. Poor kid, his friend mouthed, and a grin, wide and bright, shot into Théo’s expression. That was the point, after all, and his friend only sipped his drink in response, returning to his conversation in open defiance of Théo’s pet’s pleads.

The world crashed in disarray around the boy’s words, and he can hear the defeat sinking in with every one that went unnoticed. He wondered if he ought to reel him back in now, to tell him to go play with someone else instead, perhaps get one of the lost causes inebriated and get them to do something that would cut through the boredom that was so heavily settling now. Until, that was, he noticed a pair of eyes he didn’t recognize. Not that he wasn’t used to being stared at, but there was something in her gaze that intrigued him — curiousity. He didn’t know who she was, didn’t know her name, but he didn’t particularly care. She was average in all aspects and for now he had no need for her name or her story, but there was one thing that made her special. “You’re far too sober for this.”

“I am,” she agreed. She took a sip of her drink, accentuating his point.

His little pet had come back to his side now, a little pout jutting his lips. “They won’t listen. Tell me anyway?”

A cup to his cheek, tucking stray brown locks into his ear. Théo’s gaze bore into his. “Don’t disappoint me.”

That was all it took. There was the possibility that he might actually succeed, and in that case all it took was a speech or so, really, but for now all Théo had to do was bask in how beautifully the boy complied, shouting at the top of his lungs and embarrassing himself ever so painfully.

The girl was still staring, something akin to judgement behind her eyes. She was not new. The one who thought she saw through it all. Oh, she thought herself above the rest, but really.

“You’re observing.” He vaguely recalled now that she was someone’s guest, someone who usually didn’t attend these little soirées. A chance of temporary relief from boredom, in any case.

There was a sharpness behind the girl’s eyes, the beginnings of a strategy forming, the beginnings of over analyzation, preparing moves for a chess game that wasn’t a chess game — Théo didn’t play, or at least he didn’t play fair. He made his own rules, brought in his own pieces, and if all else failed, he had no qualms with torching the entire board. Perhaps she would be one of the moralistic ones. He loved those, it was always the most satisfying to allow them to discover the price of their own depravity, to allow them to discover the fact that there was always a price. Perhaps she could come to bore him, and he would discard her along with the many others. There were more people to sink his teeth into. Perhaps she would give the right answers — and of course, Théo never knew what those were, but he would recognize them as they came — perhaps they would slip miraculously from her lips, and she would break the storm and bring the relief he needed tonight. In any case, it was time to gauge his new toy.

“It’s always boring when you know what’s going to happen next,” Théo said, taking a slow drag from his cigarette. “Indulge me. What am I trying to do?”

[ridiasfangirlings]

Instead of Saru getting better, he gradually gets worse. He hears niki's voice in his head constantly and it causes him to be really paranoid and upset. Maybe he accidentally attacks one of his coworkers with a knife when he's particularly agitated one day, having thought it was Niki. He gets placed in an institution and it makes him worse with all the lights and noise and just overwhelmed with people and can't escape in his PDA. Misaki and Muna visiting? Reaction to shattered Saruhiko?

Maybe this is like some side effect of his time in jungle, likeFushimi’s PDA gets infected with all sorts of viruses when he hacksinto jungle in order to open the door and by the time he’s broughtout Fushimi’s seeing hallucinations everywhere. No one realizes whatthe issue is at first, jungle’s been defeated and Hisui’s dead so theidea that the virus might still work seems unlikely. Eventuallythough Munakata has his suspicions and destroys the PDA, at first itseems like things will get better after that but the damage has beendone. Fushimi is released from the hospital and assured thateverything he was seeing and hearing was just the effects of a virus.Except as he’s limping through the halls of Scepter 4 Fushimi can seeNiki staring at him from nearby, laughing as he says that oh look,the monkey comes home in disgrace, taunting Fushimi for being atraitor to Scepter 4 and how no one believes it was a secret mission,they all think Munakata just took pity on him and let him returnbecause he had nowhere else to go. From there the hallucinationsgradually worsen and Fushimi doggedly tries to ignore them, like heacts as though everything’s fine and he’s healing, he goes back onregular duty once his leg heals and he meets Yata for drinks and theytalk and to everyone else it looks like Fushimi’s only gettingbetter. But at night Fushimi returns to the dorm and spends half thenight curled up with his hands over his ears, quietly whispering atNiki to go away as Niki’s voice echoes in his ears, taunting him. Atone point Fushimi throws his alarm clock at the ghost and the clockbreaks against the wall, some of the other alphabet boys run inworried that Fushimi’s been attacked and he just blows it off aswaking up too quickly and knocking the clock off the nightstand.

Finally things are starting to get so bad that other people arebeginning to notice, Fushimi’s barely getting any sleep and he hashorrible bags under his eyes and he’s just constantly on edge andsnappish, his whole body wound tight like a spring, like a mousetrapthat’s going to snap at the slightest movement. One day he’s chasingdown a Strain with some of the alphabet boys when he hears Nikilaughing at him, telling him that he’s gotten slow and he’s going tofail and Fushimi just yells at Niki to shut up as he throws a bunchof knives at him. Niki keeps laughing and floats over like a ghost,hugging Fushimi around the neck as he whispers in Fushimi’s ear thathe’ll never be rid of Niki’s ghost. A moment later Niki fades awayand Fushimi finds himself staring down horrified at a bloody Akiyama,who walked over to ask if Fushimi was okay after seeing him godeathly pale, and who Fushimi himself stabbed with his knives.Fushimi can’t even make an excuse, Munakata comes to see him laterand finds Fushimi curled up in his room muttering almost to himselfbut really talking to Niki. Munakata still wonders if this is someoutside intervention, like is Hisui’s virus still working even afterhis death and even with the old PDA destroyed, but it’s quicklybecoming clear that whatever the sickness is it’s in Fushimi andthere’s no way to drive it out so easily.

So then Fushimi gets sent to an institution and maybe it’s againstMunakata’s will, like Fushimi accidentally attacks an associate ofthe Prime Minister and since Scepter 4 doesn’t have the influence itonce did when the Slate was still around even Munakata can’t stopFushimi from being dragged out in a straitjacket, writhing andyelling at nothing the entire time. Yata obviously is pissed when hefinds out about this, angry that Munakata just let Fushimi be takenaway like that and didn’t stop them or save him. Munakata notes thathis own hands were tied but he doesn’t intend to simply abandonFushimi and states that he knows where Fushimi is. Munakata offers tohave Yata accompany him to pay Fushimi a visit, Yata’s hopeful thatmaybe the institution place was able to help Saruhiko. His hope isdashed the moment they step inside, the place is terrible and full ofdead-eyed patients, everyone’s kept on heavy sedation and Yata’sterrified that he won’t even recognize Fushimi when they see him.

Hisworst fears are realized when they find a Fushimi who’s just a totalmess, half-sedated and dazed and talking to himself when he’s notscreaming, when Yata walks in Fushimi looks right through him asthough he’s not even there. I think Yata would be really devastatedby that too, like he can’t believe this because Saruhiko was gettingbetter and they were friends again and how could things end up thisway. Munakata would be definitely displeased by this too, I thinkthere’s no way he’d just leave Fushimi in that place without tryingas many legal avenues as possible to get him out. While Yata I thinkwould be trying to tell himself that there’s a way Fushimi can be‘fixed’ Munakata takes a more realistic approach, that getting back aFushimi who’s totally free of mental illness is likely impossible atthis point but he believes that Fushimi should have the opportunityto heal as much as he can, to be taken care of in a way where he canstill remain himself even if he’ll never be 'normal’ again. Ithink Munakata would be pulling out all his remaining resources totry and get Fushimi given back into the hands of Scepter 4, so theycan at least get him to a psychiatric facility that would actuallyhelp him rather than keeping him in a stupor, because as far asMunakata’s concerned there is still some of the real Fushimi left inthat shattered and broken mind and Munakata wants to hold onto thosepieces as much as he can, to bring back as much of Fushimi as ifpossible.

35 best museums in Moscow - part 1

Wandering around the 35 best museums in Moscow is a story about the beauty of white stone, which was first mentioned in annals from 1147. Moscow is a city of museums, ancient and modern. Visiting them, you understand how rich and diverse the history of the Russian capital was.

Conflicting feelings arise in the soul when you see the innumerable treasures of the Russian tsars and standing at their throne. Gratitude for the fact that they were able to leave such a wealth as inheritance to other generations, and indignation at the degree of permissibility to them.

But the feeling of gratitude wins because each of the visitors can now see exhibits of incredible beauty. The expositions reflect the history not only of the city, but of the whole of Russia. So, we offer an overview and a list of the best museums in Moscow that you must visit.

Diamond fund

The main treasury of the Russian state, located in the Kremlin in the museum of the same name, the most visited place in Moscow. All year round there are lines of people who want to look at a collection of unique jewelry. Even Peter the Great issued a decree on the strict preservation of the precious luxury goods of royal families for the state. At first, everything related to the treasures was stored in the Diamond Office of the Winter Palace.

During the First World War, they were transported to the Kremlin, where they spent 8 years before the examination conducted by a special commission. She determined the true value of the items and made a decision on the inviolability of the collection and the need to include it in the USSR Gokhran. The rules for visiting the Diamond Fund provide for a pass through a metal detector, so you should not come here with unauthorized items. All exhibits are placed in glass cases; excursions are usually accompanied by a guide who briefly talks about the history of a precious exhibit.

In the center of the hall, in 4 showcases, gold (100) and platinum (20) nuggets of amazing sizes and shapes resembling outlandish animals or mythical creatures are presented. One of them is called the “Devil” for its external resemblance. Among the gold nuggets there is a real giant “Big Triangle”, weighing 36 kg and which is by far the largest nugget in the world.

The hall of royal relics shakes with brilliant magnificence of its exhibits: royal regalia, awards, gifts. General admiration here is the Great Imperial Crown, made on the occasion of the coronation of Catherine the Great. The silver crown is decorated with 4936 diamonds and large selected pearls arranged in 2 rows. The crown is crowned with a silver cross, the pedestal of which is the magic “spinel” – a noble red stone.

His choice is not accidental: it is believed that this stone brings great happiness and love to the owner. If this interpretation is attributed to the illustrious Russian empress, then this statement can be believed. The large imperial crown is an unsurpassed example of jewelry art, a true masterpiece in a series of similar products. One cannot but admire the Small Imperial Crown, the scepter, among the jewelry of which is the world-famous diamond “Orlov” (there are many versions of its origin).

The Shah diamond donated by the Iranian shah to Nicholas I as a sign of reconciliation after the murder of A. S. Griboedov, the Russian ambassador, is known throughout the world as a unique stone. There are so many “precious miracles” in the “Diamond Fund” that it is impossible to describe everything, it’s better to look at them. Address: Moscow, 9, Kremlin.

State Darwin Museum

One of the most ambitious zoological museums in Europe. According to visitors’ reviews, it is also the most interesting, especially for schoolchildren. It opened more than a century ago as an institution that was designed to satisfy the desire of people to learn more about nature, about the existence of living organisms in it. Literally from the first minutes of visiting everybody expects a complete mystery of immersion in the stages of life on planet Earth through a demonstration of a film designed directly on the walls of the hall.

It seems that those present are direct participants in terrible cataclysms with explosions, the death of dinosaurs, the emergence of new civilizations. In the main hall, you will meet with numerous representatives of the fauna, ranging from stuffed mammoths to tiny animals. Here is an intriguing model of the very first bathyscaphe, entering which you can see from the porthole a huge walrus, outlandish fish, fancy shells and fantastic algae. Even on the floor there are portholes here through which something interesting is visible.

The expositions are widely acquainted with the animal world of the Moscow Region and Central Russia, developing the interest of the young generation in local history. Even for the smallest, amusing rides-stands with buttons that let out bird voices or the formidable roar of a lion, etc., are thought out here. Everyone, regardless of age, leaves an unforgettable experience after a visit. Address: Vavilova St., 57.

Museum of Automotive Stories

To get to know the city, you need to understand how it lives. And what was the life of the people who over the years shaped his culture. The Soviet period greatly influenced our mentality and culture. One of the amazing locations that can immerse you in the atmosphere of Soviet reality is the Automobile History Museum, located at ul. Koptevskaya, house 71 (metro Voykovskaya). Here, a unique collection of Soviet-made pedal cars is assembled, numerous interactive and information stands, a cinema and a photo exhibition “The World Through the Eyes of a Soviet Man” with works by classics of Soviet photojournalism are available to visitors.

Also, for children aged 3 to 7 years, the opportunity to ride a real rare pedal car in a specially equipped car park is provided.

Address: st. Koptevskaya, house 71 (metro Voykovskaya).

Bunker-42 on Taganka – a symbol of the Cold War

Underground bunker-42, covering an area of ​​7 thousand square meters. m at a depth exceeding 60 m, was equipped in the 50s of the 20th century as a reliable refuge from the danger of nuclear bombing during the Cold War between the USA and the USSR. The construction was carried out in strict secrecy, the object was referred to as a subway substation, and in fact, the bunker tunnels have access to the Taganskaya ring metro station.

After the secret facility was adopted (1956), officers and employees of the Long-Range Aviation Headquarters were on duty around the clock. Each year, the bunker was replenished with fresh water and food in case of a nuclear war. Only in 2000, after the fall of the Iron Curtain, the bunker was declassified, and now it is a museum and entertainment complex (since 2006).

Visiting this peculiar museum, you once again think about how much effort and finance you have to invest in protecting people from each other. Unfortunately, the current political situation convinces us that the need for this has not disappeared so far. The outer part of the bunker is presented in the form of an ordinary brick building, which includes visitors to the complex. Amazing massive thick doors leading into the dungeon. They are a metal box 40 cm thick, poured inside with concrete.

The main halls of the bunker are located at the level of the 18th floor underground – you have to go down to them along the 65-meter staircase leading down. Labyrinths of corridors with numerous turns create a mysterious mystery of the situation and suggest that such a structure could protect against any catastrophe. The spacious rooms are equipped with a command post, communications, ventilation installations, warehouses with weapons and military equipment. An element of an unusual excursion is a demonstration of a documentary film on the Cold War.

Those who wish can make a symbolic launch of the rocket or find themselves in a situation of nuclear danger, when the lights go out, the siren turns on. Those present put on gas masks and go to the hall indicated by the guides. Here you can try on special uniforms and arm yourself with protective equipment, you can take a picture for memory in such a “outfit” and in the end wish that all this is not useful in real life. Address: Moscow, 5th Kotelnichesky per., 11.

Historical Museum

Located on the legendary Red Square – the heart of the Russian capital. The magnificent building with its architecture resembles a fabulous tower of Russian folk tales. Brick patterned walls, numerous aisles with domes and spiers correspond to the medieval style, although the magnificent building was erected in the late 19th century under Alexander II. Outstanding architects Sherwood and Semyonov sought to capture the Russian identity in the exterior of the building. Now this is a wonderful building, the pride of Russia – a historical and architectural monument, protected by the state and UNESCO.

Entering inside, you understand that this is the Temple of the historical fate of Russia, starting from ancient Slavic times to the present. Fates are difficult, bloody and at the same time bright, creative and great. The impression of the temple is enhanced by highly artistic paintings of walls and ceilings by the brilliant painters Repin, Vasnetsov, Aivazovsky, Korovin and other famous brush masters. Restoration of the 90s “revived” the picturesque frescoes with religious subjects after “whitening” them in the Soviet years.

Thematic halls have priceless rarities in their expositions illustrating the course of the historical development of Russia. Fossil mammoth tusks, genuine stone tools, an oak shuttle, the Kolikho dolmen, an idol bronze statue are far from a complete list of unique relics found during archaeological excavations in different regions of the country. It presents the full diversity of the political, economic, cultural and spiritual life of Russian society in the era of stagnation and prosperity. Address: Moscow, pl. Red, 1.

Moscow Kremlin

The primordial residence of Russian rulers – the Moscow Kremlin on Borovitsky Hill – is a model of the museum and architectural complex, the center of socio-political, spiritual and cultural life of the country. The boundaries of the artistic and historical complex, outlined by Yuri Dolgoruky and Ivan III, remained unchanged due to the strength of the Kremlin’s ancient cathedrals erected around the perimeter. Subsequent eras left behind many more monuments, recreating the appearance of the irresistibly beautiful Kremlin ensemble, which several times rose from the ashes, like the mythical Phoenix.

High (from 5 to 19 m) walls (total length 2 km 235 m) and Kremlin towers (20) were erected at the end of the 15th century in the form of an irregular triangle. Of these, 3 round corners and 17 square, the Trinity Tower (80 m) is the highest. From childhood, everyone knows the Tsar Cannon and the Tsar Bell – miraculous casting monuments located on Ivanovskaya Square. The greatest architectural monument is the Arsenal building, created by the famous architect Kazakov; the powerful cannons of Ancient Russia located nearby, military trophies of 1812 are unique rarities. The Palace Square is decorated with a magnificent architectural ensemble of the main residence of the emperors of Russia – the Grand Kremlin Palace, familiar to all from the celebrations that are regularly held in it. Address: Moscow, Kremlin.

Armouries

The Armory, which is part of the Kremlin Palace ensemble, is located in a separate magnificent building, designed by the famous architect Konstantin Ton. The treasury of Russia contains symbols of the tsarist autocratic power; church robes; jewelry made of silver, gold; carriages, magnificent horse harness, a huge number of luxurious outfits of Russian empresses. It received its name from the arms storage – the Armory Order of the Moscow Kremlin (1547).

The famous exhibit of the Armory is the Monomakh hat made of sable fur, decorated with numerous precious stones, more than once mentioned in winged phrases of works of art and films. No less famous is the dress of Empress Elizabeth, the decoration of which took kilograms of pearls and diamonds. The exhibits of 9 halls dazzle with unprecedented luxury of household items, utensils, clothes, fabrics, ceremonial uniforms, armor, and various accessories. 4000 pieces of decorative and applied art of Russian masters, East and Europe, over 16 centuries of existence, are amazing in skill and beauty. Address: Moscow, Krasnaya pl., D. 1.

Interactive Museum “Mars-Tefo”

A fascinating corner of Martian reality was created on the 4th floor of the Moscow planetarium “Mars-Tefo”, a kind of educational and cognitive interactive center. Here, only the dead can not be delighted with what they saw and what is happening, and the children are immersed in the imitation of a space Martian station, the inhabitants of which they become using computer technology. Area – 1000 square meters. m., consisting of 11 “compartments”, each of which has its own program and an interesting “highlight”.

In a playful way, here they will help to master survival skills at different points of the solar system, to feel like a scientist-researcher or engineer creating new space structures. You can take on the role of a geologist looking for chemical elements and minerals that are vital to life on Mars. A visit to the “space station” stimulates adolescents to make the right decisions, and teaches them how to navigate in unfamiliar situations. Address: st. Sadovaya-Kudrinskaya, 5, p. 1.

Museum of retro cars on Rogozhsky shaft

This is the largest in area and number of vintage cars from all Moscow car malls. It is housed in the buildings of the former factory and impresses visitors with the number of respectable retro-foreign cars, unique home-made products of Russian craftsmen and samples of the domestic automobile industry of past years. The permanent exhibition contains more than 260 copies of various vehicles, including passenger, freight and passenger vehicles. There are models of motorcycles, mopeds, bicycles and special vehicles – the whole panorama of ground vehicles on wheels.

In the first hall, where foreign cars are mainly presented, eyes are scattered from the Cadillacs, Lincoln, Mercedes, Ford, different years and modifications. Famous brands of Russian cars lined up in another hall. Here nostalgic memories evoke Muscovites, Victory, Volga, Oise and military vehicles from the 30s to the 80s.

There are more modern models that have not become objects of mass production – “Gas-3111”, for example. Some models of foreign cars cause a surprised question, how did they get here. Many executive cars were donated to the general secretaries by foreign rulers, many were purchased by motorists. There is even an American sheriff’s car, Santa Claus’s car and other cars unexpected in their purpose. A lot of positive emotions awaits everyone who visits this gigantic retro auto show. Address: st. Rogozhsky Val, 9/2.

Scepter Hall Institute — The Wardens

✦•°•══════ஓ๑♡๑ஓ══════•°•✦

Scepter Hall Institute was an academy residing within the lost island of Nevermore — An island crossed out of most of the maps in Twisted Wonderland.

The academy was large, far larger than the likes of Night Raven College and Royal Sword Academy. So much so, that it wasn't much of a surprise that it took up the space of an entire island.

Originally, the institution resided within the grounds of Briar Valley. It wasn't called Briar Valley back then, however… After a certain incident, Scepter Hall lost a great deal of connections.

Most of what was left of the original campus was so desolate that it was practically impossible to repair it with magic. That much destruction required quite a sum of power to be repaired, and Eclair wasn't ready to risk anything after what happened in ‘The Attack’.

So, with the assistance of a little magic, they found the island of Nevermore, way back when it wasn't crossed out of the maps.

But, with so much space and only eight dormitories to care for, Eclair needed much more assistance. And she felt it was too hefty of a task for students.

In walks, the Wardens.

˚₊· ͟͟͞➳❥ The Wardens are the leading caretakers of all eight dormitories in Scepter Hall Institute. In total, there are four Wardens, with two dorms each to care for.

➜ The Wardens guarded the seasonal domains of Nevermore Island and were chosen for the simple fact that they were the best qualified for the job — Intellectually, and magically.

˚₊· ͟͟͞➳❥ The Wardens are the third highest authority in the academy. The first being Eclair, the second being Madam Maryse.

➜ Due to the constant scheduling of certain errands for the headmistress and her secretary, students often go to the Wardens to not add to the stress Eclair and Madam Maryse have to put up with.

➜ In a way, the Wardens act as ‘the dorm leaders’ for each of the dorms.

Hobbies : Ice Skating, Sledding, Sleeping, Slight of Hand tricks, Coin tricks, Playing with snowflakes, Messing with Nyla, Fashion

Personality : Sinan comes off as lazy, blunt and a little sly. Which is 100% correct! No one knows if his half-lidded, smirking stare intimidates or attracts them. Sinan’s very straightforward with his words, but is still playful nonetheless. He’s an unintentional flirt. The way he speaks and presents himself gives others the impression of the bad boy(which he really isn’t ☠️) you can’t resist. Despite all of that, Sinan is very well liked for his cool, go with the flow attitude.

Unique Magic : ‘Secret Of The Wings’

“Why don’t you try a little harder? Y’never know, you MAY succeed. Emphasis on the may~ Secret Of The Wings!”

Sinan summons a flutter of butterflies formed from sparkling ice that surrounds him as an impenetrable shield. The shield protects Sinan from both physical and magic attacks. Coming into contact with the shield will freeze or frost whatever it touches. Despite being mostly winter fae, using Secret Of The Wings too much will cause his wings to crack ever so slightly. It may not be noticeable, but it is definitely felt.

Backstory :

Sinan Keene is the youngest son of the late Queen Gale Keene, who was a beloved ruler of the small fae dominated empire that bore her name. Sinan's mother was known for her kindness and compassion, and she instilled those same values in her children. The small prince grew up surrounded by love and support, and he always knew that he wanted to follow in his mother's footsteps and become a leader in his own right.

Despite his royal status and the expectations that came with it, Sinan was always a laid-back and chill individual. He had a tendency to be lazy and procrastinate, but he was also a natural jokester and had a way of making those around him feel at ease. Sinan was approachable and easy to talk to, and he made friends easily.

Sinan’s attitude comes from his heart that cracked from a young age when his mother passed away. He was very much a mama’s boy, always clinging to her. His mother was his best friend. Gale Keene wasn’t violently taken from this world, she was just ill. It didn’t hurt the Keene family any less however. The energetic, hard working boy that Sinan Aspen Keene once was had vanished. For a while, not even his older brother he looked up to so much could motivate him. It took Sinan months before he decided to just…let things happen. He’ll let life take the wheel for now. He’ll take control again one day. He just doesn’t know when.

For now, Sinan hides those sad and dark parts of himself deep inside and shows only what he wants others to see. There are certain people who get to see these sides of Sinan, but you wouldn’t believe them if they told you.

Random Trivia!

His first friend at SHI was Gemma Phaedra. It wasn’t that Sinan couldn’t approach people, Gemma just beat him to it! From then on, they became attached at the hip.

Sinan knows Nyla is scared of ice-skating, even if she denies it.

Sinan makes Mercury want to murder him whenever he makes a snarky comment ; it's a bloodbath when it comes to them.

Admittedly, Sinan became Meryl's new crush after Porter got expelled! She's always so flustered whenever he speaks to her, and she's practically clinging to him like a koala.

Sinan is.... Apprehensive about Eclair and how she treats Meryl. He can tell that Eclair adores her daughter, but with the way she essentially locked her up in SHI for all of her life is.... Disturbing to Sinan.

Sinan takes after his mother the most. When she passed away, it was hard for Sinan’s father to look at him for too long because he looked *too* much like her.

Sinan’s mother was half ice fae and half wind fae, making Sinan a quarter wind fae.

Sinan wants to be a professional ice skater.

Sinan may be on the sillier side, but he’s smarter than he lets on. He’s always one of the top students in his classes.

Sinan tends to twirl his hair. He usually does it when he’s nervous.

THE INAUGURAL MISS ECONEST 2018 BEAUTY PAGEANT

 Noli A. Berioso for OPMBworldwide 

Eighteen gorgeous women were presented to the members of the media as official candidates of the inaugural year of Miss Econest 2018 held at the Bagumbayan Function Hall of Quezon City Sports Club along E. Rodriguez, QC. Miss Econest 2018 is a nationwide search for the most beautiful and intelligent women who will serve as the ambassador for promoting environmental awareness, particularly in the area of proper solid waste management. This event is organized and promoted by Econest Waste Management Corporation in partnership with the Provincial Government of Bataan. Econest is the private partner of the Local Government Unit of Hermosa, Bataan, for the rehabilitation, operation and expansion of the Hermosa Sanitary Landfill Facility. Part of its advocacy is to promote awareness on proper solid waste management as an entry point for Sustainable Development. The event, which will be directed by Mutya ng Pilipinas Pageant Director Concon Siñel, will focus on “Sustainable Fashion” as a tool to elevate the use of recycled or upcycled materials as the new status symbol for the elite. The pageant is thus slated to be the first in the world to be using only recycled and upcycled materials in every segment thereof. The Pageant’s Design and Fashion Director, renowned avant garde fashion designer and environmental activist, Estien Quijano, leads the country’s top fashion and accessory designers, as well as the Institute of Creative Entrepreneurship students in making the evening gowns and the cover up for the swimwear from sanitized fabric, leather trimmings, and accoutrements recovered from the Hermosa Sanitary Landfill Facility. On the other hand, the candidates’ swimwear will be made by Bb. Pilipinas’ official swimsuit provider, Mr. Domz Ramos, while the crown and scepter will be created by Dr. Jerome Navarro, a physician by profession who is also a jeweler and officer of the Fashion Designers Association of the Philippines. Accessories will be created by top accessories designer and stylist, Christopher Munar. Part of the proceeds of this event will go to the proposed Ecoguardians Foundation, which will be a non-stock non-profit organization of volunteers from different sectors including, but not limited to: senior citizens, youths, solo parents, persons with disabilities, barangay health workers, farmers, fisherfolk, and the like, who have been effective partners of the local government units implement proper solid waste management practices within their respective territories. Through this Foundation, Econest also plans to set up a Shelter for Abused Women and Children within the premises of the Hermosa Sanitary Landfill Facility, with skills training on recycling and upcycling waste materials as one of the tools for the rehabilitation and therapy of victims of domestic abuse, bullying and human trafficking. Econest’s objective for the Pageant is not only to find beauty and brains among the millions of Filipinas who are eligible for any beauty contest, but someone with a big heart for environmental protection and humanity as a whole. Econest seeks to inspire its stakeholders with the Pageant winner as the face for promoting proper solid waste management; to speak to the audience for and on behalf of humanity about sustainable development through proper solid waste management. Coronation Night is on October 27 at Subic in Olongapo City.

Voltlove meeting Meryl for the first time?

Minami: You think we can get a ransom for her.Jojo: Probably. What sum are we talking.Giselle, taking Meryl in her arms: Don't listen to them angel. Do ya want a song? I can teach you one of my dances!

All of them know who Meryl is, either bc they keep up with important people and competition, or talking with Scepter Hall students.

Minami is.... not good with kids. She doesn't understand them, and they can't read her, so she just ignores them. She'll keep a nice smile and nod while Meryl talks but that's it. Pretty unilateral. And despite how cute Meryl might be, Minami won't let het touch her phone or inventions. Absolutely not. But they can make something new with scraps if Meryl insits tho.

Jojo is good with kids! She has two younger, twin cousins she babysat all the time. Jojo would ask Meryl questions to find that one topic she can ramble about on and on. A lot of kids don't felt heard, so Jojo is happy to lend them an ear. And teach Meryl on any topic she's interested! Just... don't ask her to play tag or hide and seek. She can't keep up.

Giselle seems good with kids. She knows how to appeal to them, kids are the most unwavering fans for whatever short attention span they have. Of the three she tries the hardest to get Meryl to like her. Just think what that could do for her! The daughter of Eclair Hollow becoming a big fan! Minami and Jojo see right throught it, but Meryl doesn't. They share a snicker after Giselle is out of breath from all the games and Meryl wants to play another one. But outside that interested mindset, she does think Meryl is a sweet kid.
