However, advances in technology and design have led to innovative solutions that improve sharps waste disposal practices. These innovations provide safer and more efficient ways to handle and dispose of sharps waste, reducing the potential for needle-stick injuries, the spread of infection, and environmental contamination.

Importance of Pharmaceutical Waste Disposal in Tampa and Daytona Beach, FL

Proper collection and pharmaceutical waste disposal in Tampa and Daytona Beach, FL, is not an option. Every healthcare facility, pharmacy, and research laboratory needs to abide by the state's regulations and bodies like the EPA. One may also take a look at the OSHA recommendations to understand how poor handling of pharmaceuticals can affect the health and well-being of people in direct line of such substances and have an increased risk of exposure.

The staff working in such facilities may not be privy to important information related to pharmaceutical products. Pharmaceutical waste usually includes expired medications, unused prescription drugs, and contaminated products. Proper waste management, keeping with the standards, is crucial. Any violation, when detected, may result in severe penalties, with the added risk of the facility losing its license for a specified period.

Another aspect to remember is that different pharmaceutical types must be handled differently. One cannot treat all pharmaceutical wastes identically and jeopardize the health of visitors, patients, and staff at the facility, pharmacy, or lab. Identifying different types of waste and managing each type individually as needed can go a long way in ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.

It is essential to identify and segregate the following types of pharmaceutical waste by using the assistance of a certified waste management company that specializes in the handling, transportation, and disposal of pharmaceutical waste materials: -

· Hazardous Waste

· Non-hazardous Waste

· Controlled Substances

· Cytotoxic Waste

· Pharmaceutical Trace Chemotherapy Waste

Compliance with the standards is necessary for all facilities and stores using or handling such chemical products. It is certainly helpful to be informed about the requirements. There are several state and Federal regulations to note before going ahead and beginning to dispose of such waste. It is further necessary to remember that maintaining compliance with such regulation is not merely a legal obligation but also an ethical or moral obligation of each individual and entity. The laws were formulated to safeguard both public health and the environment. Non-compliance can put one in trouble as strict waste management and disposal laws must be followed perfectly. The following Federal organizations have guidelines in place that must be adhered to without any exceptions: -

· Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)- Deals with proper disposal of solid and hazardous waste.

· Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Regulations- Includes specific guidelines for handling and disposing of controlled substances.

· Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Standards- This concerns safe handling and workplace safety practices.

· U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Guidelines- Relates to environmental impact assessments and waste management protocols.

One may also review the recommendations and regulations issued as advisory by the Florida Departments of Health and Environmental Protection.

The concerned facilities, as well as institutions such as schools and care centers, are advised to use the services of a company that excels in providing flawless sharps disposal in Tampa and Daytona Beach, FL.

Pensacola,Fl

“Get the fuck out my house!”, the woman’s screams alerted her sisters who came running scared and confused seeing their oldest sister losing her composure pointing a gun at both David and Josh. “Marsie, what’s going on?!,” Saturn said her hands shaking as she kept them up in the air. Venus saw her sisters face distraught and the tears that fell erratically down her cheeks,”sissy what’s happening?!”

David decided to capitalize on the opportunity,” baby she started acting crazy waving the gun around I think she hadn’t been taking them anti depressants like you mentioned.” Mars widened her eyes looking at the youngest with teary eyes of disbelief,” you been telling people I’m crazy Violet?! You all think I’m crazy huh?!” The sisters backed up when Jey yelled for them to,” he’s the one who killed your parents he confessed.” Violet’s mouth flew open in shock,”that’s a lie right babe tell me that he’s the one from the streets that did this not you.” Jey winced hearing how she felt about him but tried to focus on Marcella,” baby give me the gun, I can explain just give it to me.”

The distraction was all David needed he flipped himself up to his feet and snatched the gun from Marcella now pressing it to her temple holding his free hand around her throat. The sisters screamed out lunging forward but he pointed the gun in their direction,” don’t come any closer, I’m not against blowing her fat ass apart.” Jey was on his feet quickly thinking high pressure stakes like these were commonplace in his time serving, he held his hands up defensively,” let her go bruh, this was meant to be me so take me instead.” Marcella’s whimpers came as she was confused and scared, she heard him offering himself making her heart stop,”no Josh just shut the fuck up!” she gritted shaking in the skinny man’s hold.

“For fucks sakes,” the British man’s voice came surprising the sisters and Marcella,” both of you shut the fuck up!” When Mars managed to throw a strong elbow to his ribs David cussed snatching her hair roughly tugging her head to the back as he pressed the gun to her cheek,” I swear I should’ve eliminated all three of you wastes of semen when I killed your parents, stop crying Violet your incessant whining and need for approval is disgusting.” The youngest sister gaped in shock,” you’re joking this is all a prank?” David groans loudly,” you’re fucking useless, I needed you to have a way to get close to your sister, and you were so bloody insufferable with your disgusting daddy issues.”

Marcella took a deep breath looking over where Josh’s eyes met her she mouthed,” I’m sorry’ his eyes widened in realization. Marcella put all her strength into stomping harshly on David’s foot, the man yelled out in pain,” you fucking cow!” She sent an elbow to his ribs and moved quickly trying to snatch the gun from him bravely. The loud echo of a gunshot rang in the woman’s ears, she could hear a blur of voices and felt the man’s foot sending a sharp kick to her ribs. Marcella could hear Josh’s scream for her name his face burning into her brain. She heard a few more bangs but her eyes had shifted to the pool of scarlet that was soaking her shirt. Marcella coughed warm blood spilling from her full lips as her eyes widened in fear her hearing was taken over by ringing in both ears, she saw her sisters screaming and crowding over her. Her head fell to the side, she saw Josh angrily firing a gun into a laid out David, then everything went black.

——————-

Cops and emergency services showed up, they’d taped the crime scene, both sisters were inconsolable though wrapped in safety blankets getting checked for injuries and asked by cops what they saw and heard. Jey was being let out of handcuffs when they’d determined he wasn’t a threat and the sisters vetted that he was defending their lives from an intruder in their home. Roman even came though lurked unseen making eye contact with Jey his eyes busy with thoughts he hadn’t spoken aloud. The different crime scene analysts were there proving the alibis of the sisters figuring they were talking the truth as the hospital’s mortuary and medic staff were tugging out a body bag for the one laid out upstairs claiming there was no way someone could survive so many shots at close range. The police chief apologizing to the sisters for what they’d loss. Jey saw the body bag and was instantly on his feet throwing himself in the direction but some of the medics held him tightly as he screamed out,”I need to see her, don’t take her away from me, I didn’t get a chance to thank her -,” the sounds of the different ambulances leaving the scene with both bodies only fueled the three witnesses reactions.

Jey didn’t give a fuck about what Roman wanted, he didn’t give a damn about the fifty million questions that were being rapidly fired at him, he just wanted to see her, one last time. His heart ached at the thought, none of this shit could be real, that woman was too damn good for this fucked up world she had to be alive, he couldn’t make sense of it. Jey glared at his cousin it was his fucking fault if he hadn’t baited him at this target she would still be here. Then his eyes went to the youngest sister and he clenched his jaw if she wasn’t so fucking desperate for male validation her sister wouldn’t have been shot down. Then he saw the image of his face in a reflection of the ambulance he was sat in and he cussed, if he would’ve just died in that parking garage none of this would’ve happened, it was his fault.

BASICS

•  full  name:  alfred  “alfie”  jude  stark

•  age:  30

•  hometown:  south  london  (camden)

•  current  residence:  palmview  grove,  fl

•  time  in  palmview:  1  month  &  a  half

•  occupation:  bouncer  at  the  satin  rose  lounge 

BACKGROUND

alfie  stark  wasn’t  looking  for  family.

for  thirty  years,  he  never  gave  a  damn  about  the  man  who  walked  out  before  he  was  born.  his  mum  never  talked  about  him,  and  alfie  never  asked.  no  use  wasting  time  on  ghosts.

but  curiosity  is  a  funny  thing.

one  google  search  turned  into  hours  of  digging.  a  name,  an  old  address,  a  trail  that  led  straight  to  florida.  it  wasn’t  much,  but  it  was  more  than  he’d  ever  had.  so,  he  bought  a  plane  ticket,  landed  in  palmview,  and  figured  he’d  sort  out  the  rest  when  he  got  here.

turns  out,  that’s  the  part  he  didn’t  plan  for.

now,  he’s  working  the  door  at  the  satin  rose  lounge,  keeping  drunk  blokes  in  check,  and  pretending  he  has  a  clue  what  the  hell  comes  next.

because  deep  down,  he  knows  finding  his  dad  won’t  fix  shit.

but  he’s  here,  isn’t  he?  might  as  well  see  it  through.

PERSONALITY  POINTS

•  quick-witted  &  sarcastic  –  he’s  never  met  a  situation  he  couldn’t  joke  his  way  through…  or  at  least  try.

•  impulsive  as  hell  –  acts  first,  deals  with  the  consequences  later.  not  great  for  long-term  decision-making.

•  loyal  to  a  fault  –  once  he  decides  you’re  worth  it,  you’ve  got  him  for  life.

•  restless  &  easily  distracted  –  picks  up  new  interests,  hobbies,  or  bad  habits  just  to  keep  himself  entertained.

•  observant  &  sharp  –  notices  things  most  people  don’t,  which  makes  him  good  at  reading  people.

•  hates  authority,  hates  rules  even  more  –  he’s  been  fired  more  times  than  he  can  count  for  “not  knowing  how  to  shut  up.”

•  emotionally  avoidant  –  feelings?  don’t  know  her.  but  also,  don’t  leave  him  alone  with  his  thoughts  for  too  long.

•  a  shit-stirrer,  but  in  a  fun  way  –  loves  pushing  buttons,  but  doesn’t  do  it  out  of  cruelty—he  just  likes  seeing  what  happens.

FUN  FACTS  &  QUIRKS

•  thick  south  london  accent,  makes  no  effort  to  soften  it.

•  talks  way  too  fast  when  he’s  excited  or  lying  (which  is  often).

•  never  backs  down  from  an  argument,  even  when  he  knows  he  should.

•  will  absolutely  fight  someone  for  fun.  doesn’t  care  if  he  wins.

•  rolls  his  own  cigarettes,  mostly  just  to  have  something  to  do  with  his  hands.

•  smokes  too  much,  drinks  too  much,  sleeps  too  little.

•  picks  up  weird  hobbies  on  a  whim,  then  drops  them  just  as  fast.

•  acts  like  he  doesn’t  care  about  anything,  but  cares  way  too  much.

•  calls  everyone  “mate”  or  “bruv”  but  will  throw  in  a  sarcastic  “sweetheart”  just  to  be  an  ass.

• terrible  at  small  talk,  but  great  at  deep  conversations.

•  loses  things  constantly.  wallet?  keys?  sunglasses?  gone.

Will Ospreay vs Swerve Strickland - Night 9 - Blue League

And here we are. One more chance. One more opportunity. For the men in the ring, it’s do or die. No matter what happened in the other matches, as long as Ospreay is able to put away Swerve Strickland, then he moves on to the finals, where he’ll meet the winner of the Emerald League. One more step between him and MJF, the World title, and final retribution for the company that Ospreay holds dear to his heart. But on the other side, Swerve has to do what just about nobody else has done this Heist season, and find the key to putting down Will Ospreay. The only other person who has was the same person putting pressure on his neck - Lacey’s loss earlier tonight has given him a chance, but he has to win now.

And, of course, if neither one can do the job. If this goes to a tie, then Lacey walks into the Getaway.

And we’re not wasting any time! Ospreay and Strickland charge one another as soon as the bell rings, exchanging forearms right from the get-go! A hard shot from Ospreay stuns Swerve, and Will tries to through him through the ropes, but Strickland swings through, connecting with a tiger feint kick, and knocking Ospreay back. Swerve lands on the apron, then slingshots back into the ring, dropping Ospreay with a slingshot flatliner! Swerve flips Ospreay over, trying to finish it early!

1… 2- Kickout!

With a couple of sharp kicks to the shoulder, Swerve starts to tenderize it, before picking Ospreay up, and dropping him an arm wringer! Swerve sits up, cranking his neck as Ospreay holds the arm, screaming out from the pain. Lifting Will up, Swerve flattens him in the corner with a chop to the chest. Swerve takes a moment to mock the crowd as Ospreay doubles over, holding his chest. Swerve picks him up and hits a second chop, before throwing Will to the ropes, and catching him with a tilt a whirl backbreaker! Ospreay’s back arches high off the mat as he rolls over. Swerve slides back, lining Ospreay up. Will sits up, none the wiser, until Swerve charges, and connects with the House Call! Holy shit, he hits it already! Swerve could punch his ticket to the Getaway right here!

1… 2… Kickout!

Ospreay powers out of the House Call! But that kick did its damage, as Ospreay’s staring up at the lights, favoring his arm, before Swerve picks him up. Ospreay tries to fight back, swinging at Swerve’s sides, but Swerve just about kicks his head in! He grabs Ospreay, carelessly throwing him to the ropes. But as Swerve turns around, Ospreay hits a handspring corkscrew kick, taking out Swerve! Swerve’s out on his feet, and Ospreay rolls him up!

1… 2… Kickout!

Swerve kicks out, and flips Ospreay into a Gedo Clutch!

1… 2… Kickout!

Ospreay springs up, and traps Swerve in a side roll pin, stacking him up!

1… 2… Kickout!

Swerve jumps up, and turns Ospreay inside out with a clothesline! Ospreay hits hard, and crawls into the corner, getting his boot up when Swerve tries to rush him. But Swerve grabs the boot and throws the leg, hooking it outsidethe middle rope. He grabs the other and does the same, before Swerve jumps up, grabbing Ospreay around the head, and SPIKING him with a massive DDT! Ospreay gets dropped on his head, and Swerve pulls him just enough out of the ropes, before hooking Ospreay in for the deep cover!

1… 2… Kickout!

Will survives! But it may just be a prelude to the end, as Swerve has something dangerous in mind. With both men on the turnbuckles, Swerve’s setting up for a superplex that’ll bring them crashing to the venue floor, but Ospreay blocks it. He jumps off to the apron, and knocks Swerve down, causing him to fall right on the steel turnbuckle! Swerve drops down to a knee for a second, wringing out the arm, before he pries Swerve off the turnbuckles. With Swerve hanging upside down, Ospreay steps over his shoulders… and connects with a Styles Clash, right on the apron! Holy shit! Swerve has to be out cold after that!

It hurts Ospreay in the process, as he melts to the floor, holding his jaw. But Ospreay doesn’t spend much time licking his wounds, he grabs Swerve and throws him into the ring, crawling in behind him. Instead of going for the pin, Ospreay wants a definitive end, and sets up for the Stormbreaker. But Swerve’s able to swivel out, kicking Will in the gut and going for a DDT, but this time it’s Ospreay who swings out. He ducks under Swerve’s clothesline to run the ropes, setting up for the OsCutter, but he’s caught! Swerve turns him around, and DRILLS Ospreay with a Piledriver! Ospreay’s neck gets crunched, and Swerve turns him over, folding him up to move on to the finals!

1… 2… Kickout!

Ospreay throws the shoulder up at two, powering out, and pushing Swerve away. Slowly, Swerve stands, his lips pursed as he looks around the room, all of whom was cheering for Ospreay. Outside of the ring, Nana shouts words of encouragement to Swerve, before Swerve takes off after Will. Charging towards him, Ospreay ducks and slips behind Strickland, setting him up for the Rainmaker, but Swerve ducks it and slips behind Will. Ospreay reverses, grabbing Swerve by the waist, but Swreve moves back, ramming them into the turnbuckles to break Will’s grip. Swerve stumbles forward, and Ospreay tries to attack him from behind - but Swerve lands a spinning back kick! Ospreay takes it on the jaw, and he gets sent right out of the ring! He stumbles on the outside, and Swerve leans over the top rope to pull him onto the apron. Ospreay tries to surprise him with an enzuigiri, but Swerve blocks it, and nails him with a forearm. Swerve runs the ropes, but just before he’s about to make contact, Ospreay does a backflip off the apron! Swerve diverts at the last second, hitting a handspring out of the ropes, floating back to his feet, but Ospreay catches him with a HUGE kick to the face! He falls back before charging at Swerve, who picks him up, throwing Will up. But Will’s able to land on the second rope, bounce, and take out Swerve with a Corkscrew Moonsault! And if that wasn’t athletic enough for you, Will rolls back onto his feet, to a massive pop from the crowd. Unreal.

Feeding off their energy, Ospreay throws Swerve back into the ring, and sets up for the springboard 450 - but nobody’s home! Ospreay crashes and burns, and Swerve NAILS him with the House Call! Ospreay just about gets his head kicked in, but that’s not all! Swerve lifts him up, and quickly plants Ospreay with Big Pressure! He’s got Will folded up! 

1… 2… - KICKOUT!

Ospreay barely escapes, but he’s able to power out of the Big Pressure! Swerve can’t believe it! That should’ve been it!

Swerve gets in Remsburg face, demanding he fixes his mistake, but Remsburg insists he made the right call. Swerve shoves him aside, leaning against the ropes, before he grabs Ospreay, pulling him into the drop zone. Strickland moves to the second rope, looking down at Ospreay with a deep rooted disdain in his eyes, as he moves to the top rope. Swerve takes flight, looking to finish this - but Ospreay moves out of the way! Swerve rolls through and catches a kick from Ospreay, before slapping him right across the face! Swerve throws in a few forearms, but Ospreay fires back with some of his own, before rearing his fist back, and just dropping Swerve with a heavy handed shot! Ospreay runs the ropes, but Swerve is right behind him. Ospreay slides back around, ducking under Swerve’s arm as he heads to the ropes, before knocking Swerve down with a bicycle kick! The shot hits Swerve hard enough ijn the face that he falls back, bouncing off the ropes, but Ospreay passes right by him, dropping into a handspring as Swerve turns around. Swerve ducks and Ospreay jumps right onto his shoulders! Swerve throws him down, setting up for a second Big Pressure, but Will tries to counter it into a wheelbarrow victory roll, but Swerve blocks that! He turns things around, and throws Ospreay backwards with a wheelbarrow suplex, causing Ospreay’s head to smack right into the turnbuckles! The whiplash off of that is gruesome, and Ospreay looks to be out cold as Swerve stands over him, a sick smirk on his face. He falls back, leaning against the ropes as he cups his hands over his mouth.

“WHOSE HOUSE?!”

Swerve charges towards Ospreay, btu Ospreay moves out of the way! He puts Swerve on the second rope, tucks the head against the top turnbuckle, and pops him with a Superkick! Strictland melts to the mat, and Ospreay stumbles back, a hand on his neck as he takes a look around. On the big screen, the timer reappears, with only 2 minutes left on the clock. Ospreay nods his head as he picks Swerve up for a ripcord, but Swerve nails him with a bicycle knee strike! It’s a clobbering blow, but Ospreay stays on his feet, and powers up! Swerve twists for a rolling elbow, but Ospreay cuts him off with a wicked headbutt! Ospreay runs the ropes, but Swerve tries to catch him with a jumping Swerve Stomp - but he’s caught! Ospreay throws him up, and PLANTS Swerve with a huge Powerbomb! Swerve’s stacked high on his shoulders!

1… 2… Kickout!

As Swerve kicks out, Ospreay floats him back to his haunches. Ospreay falls back, bounces off the ropes. And he runs full steam ahead into a VICIOUS Hidden Blade! Swerve takes it right under the jaw, and he’s gotta be out cold! Ospreay practically falls into the cover, stacking Swerve up as deep as he can!

1… 2… - KICKOUT!

NO! Swerve’s shoulder comes off the mat just moments before Remsburg’s hand connects for the last time, but there’s a feeling in the air that this match is as good as over. The roof is about to come off the place with how hard the fans are screaming. Ospreay reaches for the elbow pad, and throws it high in the sky, as Swerve sits up. Ospreay PLOWS through him with a brutal Hidden Blade, this one to the back of the head! Swerve’s eyes roll to the back of his head, but Ospreay isn’t done! Maybe it’s the respect he has for Swerve, as a competitor, or a desire to truly stick it to the Devil’s Trick, but Ospreay’s picking Swerve up for more! With the underhook on, Ospreay picks him up, and connects with the Stormbreaker! Ospreay sits on Swerve’s chest, folding him up as deep as he can get it!

1… 2… 3!

“Here is your winner, and the 2025 Blue League finalist, the Aerial Assassin, WILL OSPREAY!

Ospreay’s going to the Getaway! We’ll be back tomorrow night to see who’ll join him! With everyone still in contention, it’s truly anybody’s game! But no matter what, they’ll have the best wrestler in the world waiting for them in one week’s time. And with as white hot as Ospreay is, there may be no stopping him.

How To Ensure Biowaste Waste Removal in Palm Harbor and Clearwater, FL?

Disposing of the sharp implements properly is imperative. Discarding the needles, scalpels, and broken syringes in the trash can is also a strict no-no. The best way to be rid of them is to comply with the FDA and OSHA standards. Clinics, dental practices, laboratories, and vet care centers use the sharp equipment regularly for treatment and research. Not conforming to the regulations can result in heavy penalties and revocation of the license. Every facility thus needs to be informed about the accepted procedures of sharps disposal in Trinity and Tampa, FL. ​ It is vital to source the right colored container when discarding the sharps. Another thing to keep in mind is the quantity of storage. Filling the container to the brim would be foolhardy and risk injury. Such injuries may become fatal as it facilitates the transfer of blood-borne pathogens to the living body. Disposal of the containers is easy enough. One can contact a service provider that is well-informed about the local and state regulations related to proper disposal. Such providers often have their vehicles to comply with the standards. Contacting them for weekly disposal of filled containers can enable a facility to ensure safety for all concerned.

What are Sharps? Sharp implements that can pierce, puncture, or cut through human flesh are known as sharps. All sharp instruments and tools used on the patients for diagnosis and treatment are regarded as sharps. Some of the most common sharps that must be disposed of according to the state and/or community standards and comply with the FDA regulations include the following:-

· Needles · Syringes · Scalpels · Connection needles · Auto-injectors · Infusion sets · Lancets

Sharps Disposal Containers The FDA categorizes the sharps containers as class II devices! These are subjected to premarket notification (510(k)) requirements.

The containers have to be of a particular design as well. It needs to be manufactured out of hard plastic or metal. The sides of the container should be resistant to punctures, with the bottom and sides of the container leak-proof, too. The management of the facility should ensure sourcing sufficient quantities of sharps containers as approved by the FDA. Moreover, the cleaning staff of medical facilities, laboratories, and pharmacies should check the OSHA regulations for blood-borne pathogens and needle stick prevention before disposing the biohazardous wastes such as sharps.

It is vital to respect the color coding rules related to disposal. The biohazard sharps containing blood and remnants of bodily fluid from the patients must be stored in a red container with the biohazard label displayed prominently.

One may also use yellow containers with a red label indicating their use. The word SHARPs should be visible on the label so there is no error in understanding the purpose.

Proper treatment and subsequent biowaste waste removal in Palm Harbor and Clearwater, FL, must be done according to the standards. It can be ensured by connecting with a company with an excellent reputation for the perfect disposal of such substances without violating rules.

THE SPIDER & THE BUTTERFLY | Improved Cocktail, Old-Fashioned, Sazerac-Style, Sidecars

“I didn’t create these drinks to be wasted like that.”

The third in my series of Improved Cocktail/Old Fashioned inspired TRIGUN cocktails, following the Life and Love and the NOMAN’S Eucharist 

First, fill serving glass with ice* and add about .25-.33 fl oz of absinthe to glass. Then, in a mixing glass with ice, stir together 

2 fl oz or 60ml Mezcal, preferably a Joven(unaged) one

.25 fl oz or 8ml Apple Schnapps or Liqueur (NOT Sour Apple Pucker) 

1-2 barspoons of dark agave nectar

1 dash Angostura bitters 

1/2 dropperful/1-2 dashes floral bitters of choice. I used the Burlesque bitters and Old Forester’s Hummingbird bitters but I think the apple blossom bitters from Hella would work great if I could uh find my bottle of it 

1/2 dropperful of Bittermen’s Winter Melon Tart Bitters. You could also use a dash of vinegar, a citrate, or even a pinch of citric acid -- a very small pinch! 

Meanwhile, the asbinthe rinsing your presentation glass will have begun to louche and turn cloudy from the ice melting. Anyway, you’re going to take a strainer that fits your glass rim, and strain that louched absinthe into a sidecar, like a shotglass or a glass used for drinking baijiu or vodka. Then dump out the ice and strain the cocktail into your serving glass. I’d go with a smaller glass than a double old fashioned/rocks glass if you have one. Express a lemon twist or garnish with a herb like basil, mint or sage. To consume, alternate between sipping the cocktail and the absinthe. I believe it’s Simon Difford who serves his Sazeracs with a sidecar of the absinthe used to rinse the glass.

This is a powerful drink to sip slowly, with patience. I’ve stayed mostly in a Southwestern motif for ingredients but Knives being Knives, what common people are limited to isn’t a limit here, and both the sharp, aggressive, occasionally gasoline-like qualities of many young mezcals suits his personality. The absinthe also speaks to his obsession -- and madness -- as well as the common depiction of absinthe as a “green fairy” with butterfly like wings, while the appearance of the agave plant and its many spines calls to mind the legs of a spider. The variety of plants and flavors involved in the combination of bitters make it remarkably balanced -- the Burlesque Bitters feature hibiscus, acai, and long pepper -- a distinct reddish motif -- and realizing I use them in this and Wolfwood’s drink, I think they’re somewhat representative of Vash. 

And, the modifying liqueur here, well... read Trigun Maximum if you haven’t. 

*Fun fact, before the invention of big freezer units we could store glassware in for service, this is how a bartender in a saloon in the 19th century would prepare a glass to provide a cold cocktail.

My Thoughts on Cassian after ACOSF

Bear with me, this might be long.

All jokes aside, what happened to Cassian? ACOSF was a huge 180 in his character and he went from being this caring and understanding guy to this insensitive jerk. I knew everything was going downhill when he told Nesta that everyone hated her during one of their fights. But what pissed me off the most was that Cassian actually believed that saying "I didn't mean it" was an adequate apology. I find it hypocritical that everyone gets on Nesta's case for saying things in anger when Cassian is just as guilty. He is surprisingly cruel and never owns up to his own mistakes. He has a lot to own up to and apologize for but I doubt we are going to see it anytime soon.

This wasn’t even my biggest problem! Throughout the book, Nesta is out here hating herself and thinking she doesn't deserve anything or anyone. That she wasn’t worthy of a life outside of the house e.t.c e.t.c and he just ...lets her? Nesta is out here pouring her heart out during solstice to him and telling him how she thought she was a piece of shit like Eris (which is far from the truth) and how everyone was right to think that she didn't deserve him and he says nothing. What is romantic and moving about saying this

“You’re not going to marry Eris,” he said roughly. 

“No,” she breathed. 

His eyes blazed. “There will be no one else. For either of us.” 

“Yes,” she whispered. 

“Ever,” he promised.

In response to Nesta saying  “I do not deserve you, and I never, ever will.” 

Despite what Sarah J might want to convince us of, Cassian is not an inarticulate fool and he is capable of speech. Sure he may not be as “silver-tongued” as Rhysand or as sharp as Nesta but surely he could do better than this????

I have read many books since finishing ACOSF and some books with similar plot lines (FL feels worthless/undeserving) but unlike Cassian, the ML steps up to the plate and becomes that voice of reason, support and love (Honourable Mention: Rip from the Plated Prisoner Series.)

Every time I read this scene and many scenes like this one, I always question why Cassian didn’t reassure her? Why didn’t he tell her that she was wrong to think this way about herself and help correct her negative and toxic outlook? The Cassian I thought I knew would never let her go on thinking the worst of herself. Why is he at a loss for words at the most crucial scenes? This was not the emotional and heartwarming book I signed up for. Sarah J had me turning this book upside down looking for the love, understanding and kindness she promised. Overall, the emotional connection was severely lacking. In its place was rigorous and overly frequent sex.

 Now don't get me wrong, I love the spice but it took away from key emotional and relationship building. For instance, the Kelpie attack and aftermath. Why in the world did Sarah J think that after an ordeal like that, Nesta would be fine to jump and bang Cassian all night. Even horndog Cassian was a little hesitant. We’ve seen the impact of sexual assault on Nesta’s emotional and mental health before (cue: Thomas) but somehow after nearly drowning and being sexually assaulted by a Kelpie, then wearing the mask and commanding death soldiers, as well as fearing the worst and overall panicking about the entire mission which later on resulted in bruises all over her body, the first thing on her mind was....sex?????? Come on. What I would have loved to see is her opening up about how traumatizing that whole experience was for her and them actually having a real conversation and (*gasp*) no sex. It would have been so cute if Cassian stayed in bed with her until she fell asleep just because she didn’t want to be alone that night. So much potential and possibility, wasted. 

(Side Thought: I would have also loved if Nesta caught Cassian reading up on one of her favourite smut books and getting all flustered about it. Or them dancing and having this moment during Star-fall instead of that Amren disaster. Or even doing random things together throughout the city, joking and teasing and getting to know each other better, but alas😞).

The scene that disappointed me the most was the hiking scene. Cassian really said that she had to pull herself out of thoughts of suicide. What kind of message is this Sarah J? When someone shows suicidal patterns and thoughts, you do not think they can pull themselves out of it. That they need to fight it on their own. Reading that had me so shocked because that is a dangerous outlook on suicide. You need to stop whatever it is that is going and re-evaluate. What Nesta was displaying was passive suicidal ideation. Passive is no less dangerous than active and should be taken with equal if not more seriousness. The Cassian I thought I knew would have immediately been attentive and concerned. He didn’t even realize she was dehydrated and unwell until she collapsed behind him and they went on like that for hours. Even Rhysand would never have pulled this with Feyre. I thought Cassian would have been the same. 

All in all, whoever this jerk parading as Cassian is, I hope I don't read about him again.

His potential business partner scouting always followed the same pattern. First, he would notice someone intruging, someone with a certain je ne sais quoi others were lacking. Then, he would strategically place himself in their view where he was sure to be noticed — "accidentaly" passing each other in the winding corridors of the hotel or lounging by the pool, even though it was his least favourite place to be. This ritual was supposed to build trust before there even was any connection to speak of. Sort of like a wolf, laying on the ground and exposing his neck to show he means no harm. Finally, after a period of surveillance, if the candidate met all the requirements, Chishiya would use his executive connections to place both of them in the same game. Unfortunetaly, the pattern repeated several times this month, a dry spell for business partners, sadly. Despite a bulk of them being rather clever, in the end, they proved too rash, indecisive or simply unlucky. But her... she seemed unprecedented. Airi, Airi, Airi, her name echoed around his mind as he spoke it to conjure up her visage. And it came immedietely — heart-shaped face, long brown locks cascading over her shoulders and deep, brown eyes akin to his, sharp and focused. He was noticed during the surveillance period although this was not anything unusual, but at that time it made him feel rather naked. Wherever he went, her eyes followed and they read and analyzed until they came to a conclusion and turned away in a theatrically uninterested manner. She rarely spoke, blended in with the crowd when needed and routinely made herself seem like she minded her own business, which was far from the truth. A worthy oponnent, an even worthier friend.

She was indeed surprised to see him by the vehicle. It was nothing more but a passing expression, the first delicate autumn wind slipping in for but a second, after that, giving way to the usual summer warmness. He put the headphones in and took a seat by the window, keeping an eye on Airi in the reflection while Tchaikovsky's Souvenir de Florence filled his void of a mind. His chin propped up on his hand until they reached the hotel.

The ballroom looked sadly underdecorated for Chishiya's taste. A few fake wine bottles and glasses scattered around the tables, streamers coiled around themselves laying about the floor. Chishiya picked one of them up and brought it to eye level, cocking his head. The black tint of the visor making the blue streamer bleaker than usual. 8th grade ball. Then, no one wanted to dance with him. At 14 your schoolmates tend to notice the weirdness that clings to you like a foul scent you cannot get rid of. Tonight, the people gathered here were forced to take his hands into theirs. The streamer fell down to the floor as the visors turned black. Before it happened though, Chishiya managed to catch sight of Airi and mentally map her position of the dancefloor.

The first notes of Por una Cabeza filled the room. The blindness felt uncomfortable, the sharp ballroom lights reached his eyes but beyond that he was but a babe in the dark. Chishiya stood there for a few seconds before he was grabbed from behind by a pair of strong hands. He could feel their rough texture even through his hoodie. The person spun him towards themselves placing his hand on Chishiya's waist. He hated being led, just because he was not the tallest man around did not mean he automatically... Chishiya stopped the flood of angry thoughts slipping his mind. He was chosen by this person, he was observed and analyzed and the person made the wrong conclusion, which unnerved him. He was not weak, he was not a fool.

"Shall we dance?" voice of deep timbre asked.

"You have just wasted your one question." Chishiya answered, placing his right hand on one of the well-defined shoulders of the person.

"I am aware, but consent is imporant." the person cackled, spinning Chishiya once again and putting his hand on Shuntaro's back to lean him towards the floor.

They spun around the ballroom in silence. Tapping of feet and the serene violin of the song contrasting with the murderous undertone of the game. Chishiya's partner knew his tango, this combined with the fact that he was a mountain of muscles made Shuntaro seem like a string puppet in his hands. Oh, how the turntables.

Chishiya's ears caught a metalic sounds coming from his right and then he heard a knife sinking through someone's jugular and stopping at the jaw bone. A dull tud, then a sound as if someone was trying to catch their breath underwater. The music suddenly stopped, the visors revealing a gruesome scene. A young raven-haired woman laying on the floor with a kitchen knife sticking out of the side of her neck, still squirming and trying to gasp for air. In front of her stood a teenage boy, not older than 16. His white t-shirt covered in fresh blood, he himself — wide-eyed, his mouth agape muttering "I didn't do it" on a loop. His first death, his first game possibly, as twisted as luck is — hearts. There was a moment of total silence, broken by a deep timbre of voice.

"Obviously the kid did it." shouted his dance partner, a handsome, middle-aged man of brown hair neatly-parted in the middle and wrinkles adorning his face. "He spun her and then stuck a knife in her neck, look at the splatter" He continued. The kid had tears streaming down his face now.

Chishiya knew it was not the teenager but remained silent. He took note of each person gathered there earlier, some obviously have brought weapons. Knives, wrenches, hammers, handguns even - they would imprint themselves on their clothes, poorly concealed. But the young man? He brought nothing but a small Pikachu toy Shuntaro saw him fidget with right before they entered the ballroom. He will die in a second but such was the course of business in Borderlands, Chishiya shrugged mentally.

"No, no, no. Listen it wasn't me. I- I- I- didn't even have a knife. Please you have to listen..." the kid cried out, falling to his knees in the pool of blood. The teenager continued to plead as other accusers raised their voices and joined Chishiya's partner.

"Nominate the killer by pointing in their direction" the robotic voice cried out. As predicted, everyone in the room, Chishiya included, pointed towards the teenager, now sobbing. A moment passed and a laser beam shattered his skull as he sunk next to his ex-dance partner.

"My name is Hikyomono..." said the middle-aged man, smiling mischeviously catching Shuntaro by his waist again before the visors went black.

"I have not asked and I do not care." said Chishiya coldly, letting himself be led again.

Por una Cabeza's hopeful notes filling the ballroom that smelled of fresh blood now.

5♥ starter for @cheshire-shuntaro ♥5

A presence, a gray-and-white shadow with keen, pretty eyes and bleach-blond hair. Airi knew of him before she actually met him. An executive, a Diamonds specialist. Reserved and resourceful, not unlike herself. Chishiya. 

She’d seen him around The Beach, stretching the dress code with the white hoodie he wore, but no one seemed to mind, no one questioned him. He had unnerved her at first, always observing, speaking in measured words, never saying more than he meant to reveal. Airi imagined she could hear his mind working at full speed. She had the distinct impression that Chishiya was up to something, planning, scheming, but what?

That night, as she walked to the car to meet the group she’d been assigned to, she was surprised to see him there. She felt relieved at first, and then alarmed. While she considered his presence as an advantage should they find themselves in a Diamonds game, Airi had the feeling that if the night’s game was one of those where only one person could survive, Chishiya would not hesitate to kill her. She’d have to be ready for anything.

They got to the arena in no time: A fancy hotel. The arrows led them to a spacious room, not any room, a ballroom. 

The other three people in the car immediately crossed the laser grid, the point of no return. Airi waited until Chishiya went in. He did so unhurriedly, earphones in, paying no attention to her or anyone else.

There was a table right inside the white double doors, ten people were already gathered there, including their companions. There were strange looking visors on the table, clearly meant for them to wear. A screen lit up when Airi and Chishiya joined the group. A second later, the robotic voice announced that registration was closed.

The screen showed the silhouette of two people dancing. Airi’s heart skipped a beat, surely they wouldn’t have to? The synthetic voice answered her question.

Game: Murder on the Dance Floor

Difficulty: Five of Hearts

Clear Condition: Finish the song with a partner

Rules: Every player must pick a visor. The visor will obscure the player’s vision. During the song, players must pair up and dance to the music. At some point while the music plays, there will be a murder. Players will have one minute to nominate a killer. If the killer is identified, the game will be cleared. If the players can’t identify the killer, the music will restart and they have to pair again and dance. Players may ask their partners one question while they’re dancing. Nominated players as well as anyone who doesn’t have a partner will be eliminated. Protect your partner from attacks, unless you believe them to be the killer in which case you can choose to nominate them but be aware that you will need to find a new partner.

Airi looked around, weary of everyone. Five was a deceptively low number, but she wasn’t fooled, this was not going to be simple.

'Let the dance begin,' she muttered to herself.
