[midi-wizard]

I know u have talked about your process of art making before but I was wondering if u could do like an updated version since evolving? your digital stuff is just insane in the best way

Thank you

Really it’s been coming down to pure introspection. I spent much of my time growing up on MS Paint, KidPix and whatever photo editing/drawing software I could get my hands on. I would spend hours seeing how far I could push the medium with its finite but expansive power. I do these drawings as a calming exercise; I draw during therapy, during phone calls, first thing when I wake up, last thing before I go to bed. I still draw kind of the same as I did when I was a kid and it feels like catharsis. I’m still thrilled at the digital seams these programs reveal when you push them beyond sensible limits. I know how to make an image look like professional product promotion, but I’m more interested in the faults in the software itself, it feels “off” and brutally sincere. I spend many hours drawing and editing. Then I leave it to the mercy and haze of my inkjet printer, translating it to a tangible, an imperfect portrayal of labor. Like some ephemeral content, it exists to carry a purpose, to spread a message and then to be disposed of. Nothing is every truly lost in the grand scheme of production and I want to make art that feels like an accumulation of that dispose; but with the emotional weight and embarrassment of a diary.

Nihilus Rex, Ch. 38: Head in the Sand

Totally lost track of what day it was, this should have been posted yesterday.

There is a huge Easter Egg in here, and I can't wait for the reveal and payoff on it. @baelpenrose and I had a blast with this and the next chapter, just because of that little detail.

“Any updates from the mayor?” I asked, praying that the translation software would pick the right honorific for the person I was speaking to.  After what happened in the church last week, I had buried my head - intentionally - in my water initiatives.  Specifically the ones that I typically couldn’t work with if I was multitasking, due to language barriers.

Again, I was deliberately burying my head in work. It wasn’t anything I was clueless to.

“The mayor did not respond,” Ayanti responded.  Which basically translated to ‘ask forgiveness rather than beg permission’.

“I’ll take it,” I responded as my phone vibrated.  Nils.

I ignored it.

“How far can we push this?” I asked Ayanti. “If we are under tacit permission, assuming we don’t make him look bad?”

She hummed musically. “As far as you have resources, or until his borders run out.”

Immediately, I started tapping keys on a different machine, transferring funds. “Whole village, got it. Four hectares?”

“Three point five.”

“I’ll send enough for five.”

My phone went off again. Nils, again. Ignored. Again.

Laser focus on the issue at hand. “Were you able to see the file about the straws?” I asked.

“Are they ready for consumer?”

I paused and sighed audibly.  Ayanti and I had worked together long enough that I refused to lie to her about things that were life or death to her. “They are in testing. Not ready for consumer release.”

“Can you get us four kay?”

My head snapped up to scowl at my monitor, despite the fact this was a fully voice call.  “Four thousand? Ayanti. How bad is the water situation? Please don’t lie to me… we don’t lie to each other, right?”

The line fell silent for a moment and I took the time to set up the transactions for both the water filters and the straws. Legit filters were coming from the Gates Foundation through WHO and direct shipped to Daravi as a “charitable act” - no matter how large the company, good press and tax writeoffs almost guaranteed they’d never be reported. Plus they came with a steep discount, ordered by a paper-legit company with about ten shells behind it. So, about as legit as any other charity, really.

  I fired off the filters on one machine and paid for them from the other.  However, I held off on firing off the order for the straws.  This would need some finagling, given that they were still in the testing phase. A couple labs, some money to grease palms. But it was blatant bribery, so I wanted to be sure before I pulled the trigger and sent down the labs involved.

I heard the line unmute just long enough to catch Ayanti taking a deep breath and sighing.  

After a glance at a calender and some mental math, I grunted. “Yanti. Is this for monsoon season?”

She grunted wordlessly, but definitely in an affirmative.  Someone could hear her, and she didn’t want to give away what she was doing.  Which told me she was supposed to be mining for MMORPG gold, and this was therefore slacking off.

“I’ll contact them and have all the prototypes sent over.  And any other company working on similar things,” I promised. “I’ll reach out when I have the exact quantity, but it should be far above four kay.”

“Deal.” With that, she disconnected.

Palming my face and rubbing it roughly, I vibrated with contained violence.  Ayanti was in Mumbai, in the slums, and working from an internet cafe.  I had no way of beating the breaks off her supervisor - most likely the owner of the cafe. So I needed to focus on what I could do.

Nine children, you could have stopped it.

I screamed in my head how hard I had tried.  Begged Nils and Gray to send orders to fire higher.  I tried.

A fist was shoved in my mouth. My left hand, trying to keep from screaming where Mama or Baba could hear me. I did what I could, I screamed in my brain.  Digging my nails into my palms, I slapped a hand on my desktop. It forced me to bring my eyes to the monitor.

Four thousand prototype filter straws. Plus the legit water filters.

“Water filters first,” I mumbled, typing even as I dragged myself from my knees to the chair.

My phone went off again.  I didn’t even look at this point.  I just silenced it without a glance.

The email for the legit filters was easiest.  It was the coding to get the prototypes to be shipped that took the longest.  But, an hour later, I sat back with a sheen of satisfying sweat and surety that not four thousand but twelve thousand would be sent to Mumbai. It was only then that I glanced at my phone again.

More Nils.

I wasn’t necessarily avoiding him. At least not by design.  I was sure it looked like I was avoiding him as I tried to claw back some concept of saving people.  But I didn’t know how many the filters and straws would save, so I started stabbing code into the machine to transfer funds to medical research.

At some point, I threw my phone across the room.  And still I stabbed at my keyboard, with such urgency that I had to hot-swap after a time that only could be described as ‘a haze’.

“ELAKSHI!” Mama’s voice broke in some time later. “Open this door RIGHT NOW, or I will take a hammer to it.”

“Mama, I’m working!” I shouted over my shoulder.

“You have been so-called-working for three days! Nils has called the house to confirm you are alive, and I need help with Baba.”

I groaned and stretched my neck.  “I’m walking toward the door!” I shouted.

I did, too. I opened the door to see Mama staring at me in what could only be accusation.

“You stink, you look exhausted, and you clearly need food,” she scolded before walking away.  It was only then that I realized that she had the phone receiver to her ear.

“WAIT!” I cried. “Is that Nils or Mori???”

“Whichever one makes you more guilty. Bathe and think on it, and I might tell you.”

Did I smell that bad?  I sniffed my arm and nearly vomited. Okay, fair.

An hour later, I emerged, drying my hair and completely clean. “Check it out, I still know how to bathe!”

Mama was not impressed, at all. She sniffed. “You stink less.  Sit. Eat.”

“Mama…”

“Nils and Mori called while you were ignoring the world,” she interjected. “And I know you did not eat for three days, because I know how many days you ignored me knocking on your door.  And your phone.”

“It was important,” I insisted, only to be levelled with a dark-eyed glare.

“If it is so important, you need to be alive to carry it forward. Which means you need to care for yourself,” she scowled.  The plate hit the table with a force that I was shocked to see broke neither table nor plate. “Eat. Give me your phone.”

“Mama -”

“Elakshi, I will sever power to this entire building if you do not give me your phone at this second and eat.”

My arm extended stiffly, palm flat, phone offered up like a mango.

She swiped it. “Better. Eat. I will tell Katherine and Nils that you are alive.”

“Katherine!???” I shouted. “Why Katherine!?”

“She called me, personally, asking.”

I shoved my spoon into the food before me. “Goddammit,” I muttered. “Mothers, always meddling.”

“If our children behaved like adults, we would not need to ‘meddle’ as you say,” Mama pitched over her shoulder in a mocking tone. “And I certainly would not need to threaten my youngest if she could only take care of herself like the woman she is and not the child she once was.”

Low blow. “I’m eating, I’m eating,” I conceded, stuffing bland food in my mouth and pointing at it emphatically.

Bringing a plate of her own and setting it down with significantly more care than she had practically thrown mine with, she sat straight and asked in her most prim tone. “And what part of the world are we saving today?”

“Clean water,” I answered. “Charity work.  Monsoons are coming, so they need better resources.”

Mama nodded crisply. “This is a good work. And what part does Nils play in it?”

I stopped mid-bite in confusion. “Nils? He doesn’t have any part in this. It’s one of my independent projects.”

She shook her head and chuckled. “Katherine knew quite a lot for something that doesn’t involve her son.”

“How often do the two of you talk?” I asked in bewilderment.  The confusion was enough to almost completely silence the voices tormenting me.  Almost.

“Twice a week,” she nodded, taking another bite of food and gesturing for me to do the same. “Our children went through the same traumatic experience.”

“You went through the same traumatic experience, and then some.”

“Pah.” She waved the notion away. “Mothers worry, and we worry best together.  Now eat and then either call your young man back, or tell me why you won’t.”

The horror at what we had done mixed sourly with the idea of talking to my mother about relationship issues. “I will message him after I eat,” I promised meekly, choosing the lesser of the two options.

The Time Paradigm [IV]

pairing: Dream of the Endless x fem!reader

summary: love, love, rubies and seeing him again

warnings: good ole gore (but with eloquence?), awkwardness, booze, godly plonkers, Dream

word count: 2.6k+

Enter the Dream, weary traveller

Chapter IV: Endless First Impressions

She speaks, sees, hears and understands Greek.

She doesn’t know how, but she doubts her five-ish Duolingo lessons have payed off so well in so little time.

She doesn’t want to know.

Idly, a nagging thought tells her to take the small victory—everything else is already hard enough. She grasps it, holds onto it, a new lifeline in this strange world.

But then what happens if she actually does speak Greek? Will it translate into English? What sort of English then? What if she suddenly had a southern accent?

She’s got an aunt lost somewhere in the depths of Georgia, and she’s watched a few episodes of The Closer when in Rome, so she knows that most definitely would not be a good thing.

Why was she going on about accents again?

Oh, yes. Greek.

She doesn’t know any words; carrot and water, maybe, but one can hardly make a full sentence with carrot and water. Of course they’re not simply just carrot and water, they’re carrot and water and water and carrot but maybe she’s deflecting because she’s about to step through gilded doors and see Dream and he isn’t going to see her and she’s going to die inside and she wishes it were over already but she also wishes she could just jump into his arms and never let go and—

‘’Stop fretting. It is unladylike.’’

Her brain short-circuits; she’s a seven-year-old Iphone whose cracking charger has been pulled from the socket mid-software update. In other words, she won’t last the night.

‘’I’ll fret if I damn want to.’’ She replies, shakily.

Her nail worries at the skin of her finger, a nasty habit she’d eventually dropped with Morpheus’ help.

But he wasn’t here anymore. Or rather, he was—but not for her. How she wishes she could simply run to him and tell him how she loves him and how she’s so very sorry for everything and how she wishes things had been different. And everything else left unsaid.

But there are so many things she still doesn’t know.

Why here? Why now? How?

To punish her, is the answer to all of the above. Allow her to atone for someone else’s sins.

She doesn’t know why the sun beats so fiercely upon Ancient Greece, or how Mount Olympus seems to catch the rays so painfully, from its shelter stretched above the clouds.

She doesn’t know what Chiron thinks when he comes at night to replace her spoiled bandages.

She doesn’t know what the Fates know about her.

She doesn’t know what the armoured guards are waiting for, posted on either side of the door, eyeing her critically.

With Adiona, it’s different.

It’s all too much and not enough at the same time.

She is not necessarily nice, but not unkind either. She reminds her of Lucienne, only sterner; possibly older. She isn’t old by any means—actually, she’s quite young in every way that really matters, but there’s a certain air about her, something that doesn’t quite unsettle her, but almost. Something godly and nurturing that despises fretting ladies.

‘’So what is this?’’ She wonders aloud as the doors begin to creak open, desperately trying to still her nerves. ‘’A council of some sort? A debate? Do you have a debate team? Who makes decisions here? Zeus? Is this a crisis meeting, like in Percy Jackson or a—‘’

The ancient gilded sigils fade away, revealing the most praised and highly-regarded gods of all Olympus, sat around tables, sharing trials and tribulations and stories of war and love and conquest and… wine?

The word hedonistic stems from Greek. It means pleasure, leisure, failure—could be any of the above.

‘’There’s a killer on the loose,’’ she notes as soon as Adiona gives her jaw a light tap, forcing her gaping mouth shut. ‘’And you’re… partying?’’

‘’What do you think the guards are for? Come now, you’re making a fool of yourself.’’

And what a fool�� amongst fools.

She doesn’t know any names, only vaguely recognises faces forever etched in stone, symbols of office, tools and the faint flutter of feathered sandals, but she doesn’t know anyone.

Too many faces, too many fates, too many things.

Someone or something is plucking the strings of a harp out of frame. The only constant she can grasp—wine. Loads and loads and pitchers and… is that a fountain?

‘’How very cliché of you.’’ She mutters, treading past the doors.

So what if she’s stumbled into Grecian Coachella? She’s here to see Dream. Her dream. Her hope.

The doors snap shut behind her, echoing thud deafening in her ears.

A tear rips through the universe; a large wormhole swallowing all hope of light and sound and life. The eerie harp melody drops, a few chalices full of wine spill over, the condensed chatting of a thousand mingling voices stops—the world has stilled for her, like a Renaissance painting.

‘’No pressure.’’

A distant figure approaches, Adiona spares them a glance.

The stranger-traveller-saviour-turned-curiosity finds herself frozen in place, pinned to gargantuan doors by impossible shades of gaping eyes. Suddenly, she’s taken back to a fifth grade’s pale imitation of a Midsummer Night’s Dream where she plays Puck and her mom holds up a VCR and there’s only a hard tumble down a stage to keep her from dying of shame.

She counts to ten in her head.

She’s seen the end of worlds, fought against gods and demons, backed the Kindly Ones in a corner; she will not yield before wine-drunk gods.

She takes a step forward. Two steps back. Puck rhymes with duck. Luck. F-

The universe mends the wound in its swirling violet fabric, sheds some light on the stage, and she is no longer falling in front of the entirety of the student body.

She’s floating on a cloud made of candy floss and he’s beside her, holding her, telling her he loves her, kissing her. He’d done another thing—just one more, one so significant she’s completely forgotten.

A flash, a promise, and then Dream Country, her second favorite place in all the realms stands before her.

The road to Hell may be paved with good intentions but the path to him is sprinkled with tiny specks of golden sands.

They lead her across the room, inviting like a dance partner, twirling her once or twice so she can spare a wide-eyed stare at a creature with the body of a stout woodcutter and the head of a bull. With every twirl, the path of sand vanishes beneath the sole of her feet, and they all stand, gaping, but her eyes are for him alone.

A mirror of his own, Destiny will recall, many aeons past.

Dream of the Endless sits at the oblong table at the very end of the festive room. Surrounded by his kin, all on a diamond pedestal, he is the first thing that she really sees. He is the only one who looks as sullen as she feels. How she loves him.

Their eyes met—and simply never looked away. His elder sister’s words.

She runs to him, pushing and pulling; she’d rip apart the universe for a split second with him, just to see, just to touch.

In the past few days, everything she’d felt had increased tenfold.

Unable to see him, to call to him.

Any torture of Morningstar’s design pales in comparison. It felt like being trapped in a glass orb, never quite able to reach out to the other. A fever's dream in a street magician's basement.

Yes, yes, Brother Dream and Sister Traveller and puppies. Loads and loads and loads and loads of puppies. Long-eared and blue-striped. They’re fuzzy around the edges and they’ve got liquorice for legs! And they’re full and full of love—Like Brother Dream and Sister Traveller; they fill up like balloons and then they pop and they paint love all over us. Have I ever told you about the time I made a boy go ‘pop’?[…], is delivered to you from Delirium’s Unwritten Hazardous Memoirs, the last series ever unwritten.

In the real world, far from Mania's Domain, something falls; drops. A bullet, fired by a rifle that’s not hers.

She shoves her elbow through the thin crack webbing across the sphere and takes a deep breath.

But what is love? If not the outcome of creation and destruction?

She’s here, finally. She stands before him, in a green peplos and sandalled feet and jewels that are not her own. She feels inadequate; like she’s betrayed him, somehow.

Loving, is protecting. And that would not change. If I were a bear, a flower or a bee, I will always take care of you.

The memory slips away with a sharp crack of pain whipping close to her heart.

‘’Are you…’’ she can’t find the words. Somewhere deep down, a part of her is vaguely aware of all the eyes trained on her being, beyond her being. She does not care. She only cares that he’s alright, that he’s not hurt, that he’s hers. But what if he wasn’t? What if he were terribly hurt and she hadn’t done anything to stop it?

The functional part of her brain takes over and curls her fingers, channeling universality and all that is known to man in a single, unfinished question.

Across time, countries, civilisations and universes, the King of Dreams would know her; would know what she means without the need for words.

Slowly, barely, gently, his chin dips into a nod.

Relieved, the universe sighs with her. He blinks; she keeps from laughing.

She would give him her heart if she could. She already has.

The organ hasn’t much to offer—save for a few misplaced beats and halfhearted thrums, but it does acknowledge the tension in the room, feels its palpitations. Everyone and everything in the whole of creation is looking at her.

‘’They are waiting to make proper introductions,’’ A sterling silver necklace with a woman’s voice explains as it drops around her neckline. A simple silver chain with a clasp and a plant carved in a coin. She does not recognise either. ‘’It is custom.’’

She lifts her gaze from the coin, offered by a graceful hand. ‘’Thank you… um, I’m sorry, I don’t know your name.’’

The woman smiles, enchanting. It blinds her, this much beauty found in one vessel. ‘’I greet you, Traveller. I am Calliope, Daughter of Zeus.’’

‘’Thank you, Calliope.’’

She fades away with a bewitching smile, stepping into the gaping crowd. No, not quite gaping—they’re gods—rather, entranced?

She hasn’t the faintest idea how to describe it either. Then, she remembers Calliope’s words.

My name.

What’s my name?

You don’t know your name?

Of course I know my name!

Confusion takes over, then sadness and then the King of Dreams’ blue-blue eyes. Her name becomes a stammer, a secret carried by the ether, whispered for his ears alone.

The wind carries it elsewhere, everywhere, and suddenly, the crowd erupts in a chorus of chants, all preaching her name on Mount Olympus, saviour of their dreams.

It dawns on her again like whiplash—no, she’d rather get whiplash. There’s a killer hiding in their Ivory Tower, and they’re drinking. To their credit, some aren’t—they’re knocked out cold, cup dropped within reaching distance of twitching limbs in a way she’s only seen dogs and shitfaced drunks do.

The observation doesn’t last. The harps pick up on an unchained melody, and she’s dragged from the pedestal by eager hands.

She tries to look for the Dream of her dreams—in vain. He’s on his honorary table, surrounded by family members she hadn’t even acknowledged in her haste and they’re all around her—pushing and pulling, the irony. Gripping, fondling in some places—their idea of dancing, she realises with a groan. When a cup is thrust into her hands, a resounding baritone echoes through the room.

‘’Enough.’’

The Dream King does not raise his voice.

Ever.

He sulks, which is even worse.

But that even tone of his pours over her skin like honey and the fantasilk of a shared bed, a fabric woven by dreams, the softest material found in the known universe.

His voice alone, rippling with quiet authority is enough to spin the nine worlds on their axis. It leaves her wanting in each and every one of them.

The hands fall away, the dream is over.

He looks at her with intent, all the way across the room and the rest just fades away. He can read her, he knows how to, he just has to look close enough and he’ll know everything about her. About who she is. About who she loves. He can’t.

In the collective blink of a thousand eyes, he stands next to her.

‘’Are you…’’ he stops, measuring his words. For a moment, she thinks she might laugh, but there is nothing funny in the cool unperturbed face he displays, even if the slightest crease dips his dark brow. The façade of a king. ‘’Alright?’’

She is here. She is with him. ‘’Better than alright.’’ She is bleeding.

He sees it before she does, alert blue eyes narrowing as they zero in on a secret spot just below her ribs—a spot he’s unknowingly kissed and kissed a thousand times over.

‘’Oh. Oh!’’ The lovely forest green protecting her heart has turned a dull maroon shade, like dying branches in the cold of a Canadian winter. She presses a feeble hand on the wound wishing a world of shame would just swallow her whole. ‘’It’s okay, happens all the time.’’

It does nothing to ease the thinly-veiled concern etched on his features. ‘’It should not.’’

And their eyes met again, a wild torrent of desperate longing coursing through their veins at the mere thought of each other, naked in the sack. Delicious, tells a melodic, mocking voice.

Desperate, echoes its twin wistfully.

The air clogs in her throat. He cannot look at her like this—not while she is this; not his.

She runs away, muttering an unintelligible apology as she tears through the crowd.

Two minutes. Two earthly minutes and sixteen and a half Daxamite clicks.

That was how long she could handle an interaction with him. And yes, sixteen and a half Daxamite clicks was pitiful.

But he was alright.

He wasn’t hurt; he’d healed, she’d healed him. She could breathe now.

In the hallway, she exhales a thin breath tickling her throat. She squirms, feeling the tickling spreading through her bones, to the problem of her problems.

The bandage peels off easily, like a one-layered onion. It certainly shares its colour.

Now—she relishes the knowledge that she has been surprised by very little in her life since discovering her uncanny abilities, but this—this is insane, worthy of the freakiest episode of Buzzfeed Unsolved.

Her blood is red. Crimson. Scarlet. All shades of red she can think of and those only seen by shrimps.

But below the barely crusted blood are sprinkled specks of gold leaves, etched within the healing skin.

Nothing has contaminated her wound; nothing has even touched it—nothing but bandage after bandage and lukewarm bucket water.

This—whatever this refers to—is sprouting from within.

‘’What on earth—‘’

Rustling.

Pinching.

Hiding.

Any onomatopoeia that dutifully describes all of the above but sneakily.

She turns in the direction of the sound, pressing the bandage to the scar.

She releases a breath.

There’s nothing there.

Nothing but pearly pillars and gilded walls and the faint outline of a cloaked book, hanging by a shackle.

The Detective's Banquet 5

Writer: Mitsuki

Character(s): Shino Hajime, Mashiro Tomoya, Hidaka Hokuto, Harukawa Sora, Tomoe Hiyori, Kazehaya Tatsumi, HiMERU

Translated by: jewwyfeesh

Hokuto: It’s a detective’s job to pursue the truth. I promise you, I definitely will.

Location: Dead End Cafe

Hokuto: (After escaping, I nearly got lost in the hotel… finally found a familiar room after running around for who knows how long…)

(After receiving the character introduction, I’d thought that the Android’s design was steeped in the shadow of my father, and felt some subtle hostility… But having enhanced physical abilities isn’t so bad.)

(If it were the normal me, I’d be panting away after running around… And yet, I’m barely breaking a sweat right now. I even escaped the storage room virtually unscathed earlier on.)

(Tomoya probably didn’t think I’d escape from that kind of place. This blind spot surfaces from his habitual way of thinking – I’ll need to point this out to him later on.)

(After calming down some and thinking about it, it does seem rather quiet here… It really makes your blood run cold…)

(Surely not…)

Location: Luxurious Hotel Room

Hokuto: Tomoya…!

Tomoya: …?!

Hokuto: Why did the ‘Armchair Detective’ collapse here? Were the both of you attacked just now?

Tomoya: Ah… Er… Um… about that…

Hokuto: Oh, something fell from your pocket. No. Wait. This is… a tranquilizer?

The ‘Armchair Detective’ does seem to have been sedated… Did you…?!

Tomoya: …………

…………

I… Don’t want to lie to Hokuto-senpai.

You guessed correctly. I am the murderer that everyone’s been working hard to identify… Arrest me, then.

Hokuto: Why would you do this? It’s not like you have an ulterior motive.

Tomoya: …No, I do have a motive. But now that things have come to this, I still hope that it’ll be able to stay a secret forever.

Hokuto: It’s a detective’s job to pursue the truth. Even ‘Bionic Detectives’ have the right to know the truth. As a detective yourself, you should be well aware of this.

Of course, I’ll keep it a secret on your behalf. You can trust me – after all, Androids are unable to lie.

Tomoya: …Android, huh? That’s right, that’s the answer to all of our problems. Hokuto-senpai… No, Android 3A1217, do you remember why you were developed?

Hokuto: I am an android that was created with the purpose of obtaining human emotions through learning. But the me who was unable to to comprehend them suddenly gained exceptional deductive abilities. From then on, I became the ‘Bionic Detective’.

Though, it seems like the company that made me has been experiencing some technological bottlenecks recently, as they have yet to update my software for quite a while…

Tomoya: That’s because the project has already been called off! And, in three days, you’ll be recalled and destroyed!

Hokuto: I see. Is it because my mission has come to an end?

Tomoya: NO, it’s not that…! The meaning of Hokuto-senpai’s existence, why should those people be the ones defining it?!

I’ve already decided. No matter what, I’ll ensure that Hokuto-senpai lives on.

That day, there was a mysterious man in black who approached me, and we struck a deal — I’ll help him assassinate Sakuma-san, and in exchange, he’ll help me save Hokuto-senpai…

The second I agreed, I already knew a day like this would come. Though… What I didn’t expect was that… In the end, the one who pointed the gun at me would be you, Hokuto-senpai.

What a cruel twist of fate… I had wanted to keep this from you since the very beginning…

Hokuto: …………

Tomoya: Hokuto-senpai, you… You’re crying…?

Hokuto: I… I’m crying? This bitter feeling… Is this a human emotion, one that I’ve always been unable to understand?

Why… As… As an Android, my mission is to protect the people… So… Why? Why would you go to such an extent for me?

…There is only one truth, and I understand everything clearly now. The culprit is you, and the motive is me.

Tomoya: All of these are choices that I myself made, so please don’t cry because of me. I did commit an irreversible crime.

Maybe back then, I had more than just this path in front of me… But it’s too late to say it now… Thank you for all the time that you’ve spent with me. The only thing I won’t ever regret… is saving you.

If you want to do anything for me, then please conduct a thorough investigation of the truth behind our backs. About Sakuma-san, about that mysterious man in black…

Hokuto: It’s a detective’s job to pursue the truth. I promise you, I definitely will.

Location: Seishou Hall Common Room

Hajime: Waaaah~ Tomoya-kun was super handsome in that last part! I couldn’t look away~

Thinking about how after the game’s formal release, I can even watch Tomoya-kun’s spectacular acting in the SSVRS… It really feels like I’m dreaming ♪

Tomoya: T-that’s too much… If you continue on like this, I’ll go find a hole to hide in…!

Hajime: Sorry, I got a little carried away… Still, were those lines thought of on the spot? Truly phenomenal~ ♪

Tomoya: To be honest, Theatre Club conducts a lot of improvised performances as part of training. Upon finding out that I’ll be performing alongside Hokuto-senpai this time, I did lots of homework beforehand.

Not to mention… even though at that time I’d thought Hibiki-senpai was running his mouth without much rhyme nor reason, the tasks that he assigned us allowed me to reevaluate how I’d approach acting this character and look at it from another perspective. So part of my success could be attributed to him.

Hokuto: I, too, underwent some special training for this role; I’m glad our efforts didn’t go to waste, seeing that the final result turned out pretty good.

After this, I’ll need to continue working hard — I won’t let my junior one-up me when the time to perform comes.

Tomoya: Hokuto-senpai is so cool…!

Tatsumi: Oh, right. HiMERU-san, how did you uncover the truth in the end? Even though we encountered some problems during the initial phase of deduction, I did find it rather entertaining. Thus, I’m particularly curious about the reasoning process in the last phase.

HiMERU: (……Why can’t this person ever read the room?)

As for HiMERU’s thought process, let’s discuss it after the game has been released. At that point in time, everyone will be able to showcase their unique talents whilst on a level playing ground.

Hiyori: Hehe, when that time comes, I’ll be the most spectacular one for sure ☆

Sora: HiHi~ Sora will play with you all then! It’ll be very fun for sure… ♪

[askbeannuts]

it just seemed to dawn on me why the recent pages feel different. The artstyle isn't what's different, it's that the text isnt handwritten anymore. Why'd you switch to a typed font?

Very fair question to ask! I don’t think I elaborated on why I chose to change to a typed font back when I switched to the comic format... and it didn’t help that a lot of my updates were actually months old, so they still had handwriting, but the simple answer is for the sake of my hands.

Handwriting the many posts I make started to exhaust my hand a lot, I also make these pages in bulk and write them out in bulk, so it’s a lot;; And in this new format, when I make updates for this blog, it’s in sets of eight per file.

My prior laptop, that I used for art, had a text editor I used pretty extensively-I even did little sprite-like animations a loong time ago-but once I got a newer one, (because the old one was taxed by my job going remote) I lost access to that editor, so for a good year or two, I was doing every post handwritten. There’s also the fact that my old tablet is so worn down that it has a tiny indent/hole right in the center, so when I got a new one, I decided to try out some of the free trials that came paired with it, which included software with a text editor [CSP].

I’m sure it’s different and probably takes away some level of charm my art probably has with it, but it’s less stress on my hand in the long run. There are elements of this blog and @askextraparainspector that will have handwritten things, like the special written languages used there, or the unown script used on Beannuts for the written language-those will stay. But the specialized text that the Mysterious Beings talk in, is actually a font type, so it’s much-much easier to have that typed out than to handwrite it-which might make it easier to translate for people curious about words I don’t outright translate, heh.

Sorry for this turning into a long post, but simply put: I wanted to take some stress off my hands.

Maintenance Matters: What Hawaiian Drivers Need to Know About Electric and Gasoline Cars

Hawaii’s breathtaking landscapes and unique climate present distinct challenges for vehicle maintenance. Whether you’re driving a cutting-edge electric car (EV) or a trusty gasoline vehicle, knowing how to care for your car is essential for a smooth and safe experience. At City Auto Sales Hawaii, we’ve guided countless customers in choosing and maintaining their vehicles. From cars for sale in Honolulu to used Car Dealer, we’re here to help.

Maintenance for Electric Vehicles

Electric vehicles like the Tesla Model 3 and Hyundai Kona EV are designed with simplicity in mind, requiring less maintenance than traditional gasoline cars. Without a combustion engine, there’s no need for oil changes, spark plug replacements, or exhaust system repairs. This translates to fewer trips to the mechanic, saving time and money.

Brake pads in EVs also last longer due to regenerative braking, which converts energy lost during braking into power for the battery. However, Hawaiian drivers must stay vigilant about battery health. Regular software updates and occasional checks on charging capacity ensure EVs like the Chevrolet Bolt remain efficient and reliable.

Salt air in coastal areas, common across Hawaii, can affect EV charging ports and connections. Drivers in regions like Kailua should clean charging ports periodically to prevent corrosion, especially if they live near the beach.

Maintenance for Gasoline Cars

Gasoline cars like the Toyota  and Honda CR-V require more frequent attention but remain practical for many Hawaiian drivers. Routine oil changes, filter replacements, and brake maintenance are essential to keep these vehicles running smoothly. For adventurous drivers tackling rugged terrain on the Big Island, suspension checks and tire rotations are also vital.

Heat and humidity in Hawaii can take a toll on gasoline engines and cooling systems. Regular coolant flushes prevent overheating, while inspections of belts and hoses reduce the risk of breakdowns. Vehicles like the Ford Explorer, often used for family trips, benefit greatly from proactive maintenance schedules.

Environmental Considerations

Hawaiian weather, while beautiful, presents unique challenges for both EVs and gasoline cars. The island’s salty air, high humidity, and volcanic ash can accelerate wear on components. EVs like the 2023 NISSAN ALTIMA and gasoline cars like the Toyota Highlander both need extra attention to prevent rust and corrosion.

Drivers should rinse their vehicles regularly, especially after driving along coastal roads. Using protective coatings on the undercarriage and paint can help extend the life of any car, whether it’s powered by electricity or gasoline.

Why Choose Us

Expert Knowledge: Our team understands Hawaii’s unique climate and provides maintenance advice tailored to local conditions.

Diverse Selection: From EVs like the Tesla Model Y to gasoline cars like the Toyota Camry, we offer options for every need.

Thorough Inspections: Every vehicle is carefully inspected to ensure reliability on Hawaii’s roads.

Flexible Financing: We provide financing options for both new and used vehicles, making ownership simple.

Transparent Pricing: No surprises—just honest pricing on all our vehicles and services.

Convenient Location: Located in Honolulu, we’re accessible to customers across Oahu, simplifying car maintenance and buying.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are EVs easier to maintain in Kapolei?Yes, EVs like the Hyundai Kona EV have fewer moving parts and require less frequent servicing than gasoline cars.

What’s the best used SUV for sale in Honolulu for families?The Toyota Highlander is a reliable gasoline option, while the Chevrolet Bolt EUV offers an eco-friendly alternative for smaller families.

How often should I check my car for rust in Kailua?Drivers in coastal areas should inspect their vehicles monthly and rinse off salt residue to prevent rust.

Do gasoline cars handle mountain roads near Waipahu better than EVs?Gasoline cars like the Ford Explorer excel in rugged conditions, but EVs with high torque, such as the Tesla Model 3, also perform well.

Can I reduce maintenance costs for an EV in Pearl City?Yes, keeping software updated and scheduling periodic battery health checks ensure long-term savings for EV owners.

Where can I find a reliable used car dealer in Honolulu?At City Auto Sales Hawaii, we offer a wide range of reliable vehicles, from EVs like the Tesla Model Y to gasoline models like the Toyota Tacoma.

The Right Maintenance for the Right Vehicle

Caring for your car doesn’t have to be complicated. With the right approach, whether you drive an EV or a gasoline car, you can ensure a safe, efficient, and enjoyable ride. At City Auto Sales Hawaii, we’re committed to helping you find and maintain your ideal vehicle. From cars for sale in Honolulu to expert advice on care, we’re your trusted partner.

How Medical Billing Services Improve Revenue Cycle

In today's healthcare environment, efficient revenue cycle management (RCM) is essential for the financial health of medical practices and facilities. The revenue cycle encompasses all administrative and clinical functions that contribute to the capture, management, and collection of patient service revenue. Medical billing services play a crucial role in optimizing this cycle, ensuring that healthcare providers receive timely and accurate reimbursements for the services they deliver. This article explores how medical billing services improve the revenue cycle through enhanced medical coding, effective denial management, and the use of advanced billing software.

Understanding the Revenue Cycle

The revenue cycle begins when a patient schedules an appointment and ends when the healthcare provider receives full payment for services rendered. It includes several stages, such as patient registration, insurance verification, medical coding, claim submission, payment processing, and accounts receivable management. Each of these stages must function smoothly to ensure that the organization maintains a healthy cash flow.

Inefficiencies or errors in any part of this cycle can lead to delayed payments, increased denial rates, and ultimately lost revenue. This is where medical billing services come into play, providing specialized expertise that helps healthcare organizations streamline their operations and improve financial outcomes.

The Role of Medical Billing Services

Medical billing services specialize in managing the financial aspects of healthcare practices, allowing providers to focus on patient care. These services typically handle tasks related to billing, collections, coding, and accounts receivable management. By outsourcing these functions, healthcare organizations can benefit from increased efficiency, reduced costs, and improved cash flow.

1. Enhancing Medical Coding Practices

Accurate medical coding is a fundamental component of effective revenue cycle management. Medical coding involves translating healthcare services, procedures, and diagnoses into standardized codes used for billing purposes. Errors in coding can lead to claim denials, delayed payments, and compliance issues.

Medical billing services employ certified coders who are well-versed in the latest coding standards, such as ICD-10, CPT, and HCPCS codes. These professionals ensure that each procedure and diagnosis is coded accurately, minimizing the risk of errors that could lead to claim rejections. By enhancing coding accuracy, medical billing services help healthcare providers maximize their reimbursements and reduce the time spent on resolving billing issues.

Moreover, consistent training and auditing practices within medical billing services ensure that coders stay updated on changes in coding regulations and payer requirements. This commitment to ongoing education helps maintain high standards of coding accuracy, further improving the revenue cycle.

2. Streamlining Claims Submission and Processing

The claims submission process is a critical stage in the revenue cycle. Medical billing services utilize advanced billing software to automate and streamline this process. Automation minimizes the likelihood of human error, which is a common cause of claim denials.

Once the medical coding is completed, medical billing services ensure that claims are submitted to insurance payers promptly and accurately. The use of billing software allows for real-time eligibility verification, enabling the service providers to confirm patients' insurance coverage before services are rendered.

An efficient denial management process not only helps recover lost revenue but also supports long-term relationships with payers, leading to better future claims processing.

4. Optimizing Accounts Receivable Management

Effective accounts receivable (A/R) management is crucial for ensuring that healthcare organizations receive timely payments. Medical billing services streamline A/R management by monitoring outstanding claims and patient balances.

They employ proactive follow-up strategies, reaching out to patients and payers to ensure that payments are received in a timely manner. This includes sending reminders for unpaid balances and following up on claims that have not been processed within a specified timeframe.

By actively managing accounts receivable, medical billing services help healthcare providers reduce the days in A/R, which can significantly improve cash flow. Timely collections mean that practices can reinvest in their operations, enhance patient care, and grow their business.

5. Utilizing Advanced Billing Software

The integration of advanced billing software is a game-changer for healthcare organizations looking to improve their revenue cycle. Medical billing services utilize software that automates various functions within the billing process, allowing for increased efficiency and accuracy.

Advanced billing software provides features such as:

What is Medical Billing?

Medical billing is the process by which healthcare providers submit claims to insurance companies to receive payment for services rendered. This process begins when a patient visits a healthcare provider and involves several steps:

Patient Registration: The process starts with collecting the patient's personal and insurance information.

Verification of Insurance: The provider verifies the patient's insurance coverage and benefits.

Coding: Diagnoses and procedures are translated into standardized codes.

Claim Preparation: The medical biller prepares and submits the claim to the insurance company.

Adjudication: The insurance company reviews the claim and decides whether to pay, deny, or reject it.

Payment Posting: Payments from the insurance company and the patient are posted to the patient's account.

Follow-Up: Any unpaid or denied claims are followed up to ensure payment.

What is Medical Coding?

Medical coding involves assigning standardized codes to diagnoses, treatments, and medical procedures. These codes are used to communicate information about the patient's condition and the services provided. There are several types of codes used in medical coding:

ICD Codes (International Classification of Diseases): These codes are used to describe diagnoses and conditions.

CPT Codes (Current Procedural Terminology): These codes describe medical procedures and services.

HCPCS Codes (Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System): These codes are used for various services, supplies, and equipment not covered by CPT codes.

Medical coders must have a thorough understanding of medical terminology, anatomy, and the coding systems used. They review patient records and assign the appropriate codes based on the documentation provided by healthcare providers.

The Importance of Medical Billing and Coding
