"If I Fell"; Fixing a Tie; Blowing the Lyrics

I don't think I ever realized that Paul was straightening John's tie as they were beginning to sing "If I Fell," which just makes me love it even more. But a couple of things to appreciate: 1) George looks like he's just WAITING for a screw up because John and Paul are clearly distracted. 2) George smiles as the moment he was waiting for happens, and John and Paul go tentative on the second verse, where it sounds like John is going to sing "give my heart" once more and Paul is sort-maybe-going-to-land-on "giii-trust in you." 3) Harrison's smile is PRICELESS

COHESION WARTIME COUNCIL COMMISON

LEVIER

In 5017u, the Omninet explodes with news. For the first time in Thirdcomm, an diaspora colony has rebelled against an major power. Smith-shimano’s colony on a world near the edge of the sixteenth wing of the Milky Way has set up an military checkpoint at the blinkgate. This is The Cohesion, an three-planet, fiercely militaristic, communist, and anti-corpro civilization. Still young, it has embargoed all Smith-shimano ships and contact, transmitting an manifesto to union DoJ ships, entailing their demands and terms. The brief but bloody ambush on the small Smith-Shimano military presence in the system revealed the vehemence of their distaste for all corprostates.

As the newest producer of mech frames, little is known of the overall design and goal of the Cohesive. The Cohesion Wartime Commission Council is an organ of the government that commissions independent designers of mech frames, employing them at extremely competitive rates to ensure loyalty. The CWCC’s stated goal is to “produce and supply high-quality mechanized chassis for the Cohesive military while ensuring the Cohesive stops maintaining a reliance on for mech frames nor supporting fascistic, unreliable and capitalistic corprostates.” Additionally, the CWCC licenses its designs to independent actors, though it has yet to allow any bulk orders for organizations except for Union.

Example Flashpoint: New Ground

The birth of an nation is always shrouded in confusion, backstabbing, counterrevolution, suppression, and change. The newly born Cohesive is turning its eyes to the universe, and they do not like what they see. Although they are on agreeable terms with Union, they have an violent distaste for Smith-Shimano and an burning hate for the colonial projects of Harrison Armory. The one other major producer of mech frames, IPS-N, however, is less universally despised. By popular vote, the Cohesive has invited IPS-N’s leadership for an intensive week-long negotiation, recognising the reality of their position: although they have scored a victory, if they launch into outright war with any of the corprostates so early, they will be invariably crushed, potentially by an coalition between their two largest enemies. They are resting the waters for the possibility of a mutual defense treaty with either Union or IPS-N. The conference will be hosted on the orbital ring of the gas giant Salamander.

There are several ways for the players to enter this scenario: as bright-eyed revolutionary soldiers accompanying the Cohesive diplomats, hardened IPS-N careeer soldiers, a team of the many, many spies and agents sent to spy, assassinate, or influence the outcome of the events, or even part of the very large crew of Doj-HR peacekeepers assigned to the station to prevent the aforementioned meddling. The artificial air of the ring is thick with the scent of drying blood, and it's not just coming from the hands of the Cohesive soldiers.

Feedback appreciated. Does the Cohesive feel organic? I realise that the campaign doesn't have much capacity for combat, at least before/ as long as shit doesn't hit the fan. Does that seem boring?

A Mango-Shaped Space by Wendy Mass

Mia Winchell appears to be a typical kid, but she's keeping a big secret—sounds, numbers, and words have color for her. No one knows, and Mia wants to keep it that way. But when trouble at school finally forces Mia to reveal her secret, she must learn to accept herself and embrace her ability, called synesthesia, a mingling of the senses.

Serafina by Robert Beatty

Serafina has never had a reason to disobey her pa and venture beyond the grounds of the Biltmore estate. There’s plenty to explore in her grand home, although she must take care to never be seen. None of the rich folk upstairs know that Serafina exists; she and her pa, the estate’s maintenance man, have secretly lived in the basement for as long as Serafina can remember.

But when children at the estate start disappearing, only Serafina knows who the culprit is: a terrifying man in a black cloak who stalks Biltmore’s corridors at night. Following her own harrowing escape, Serafina risks everything by joining forces with Braeden Vanderbilt, the young nephew of the Biltmore’s owners. Braeden and Serafina must uncover the Man in the Black Cloak’s true identity... before all of the children vanish one by one.

Serafina’s hunt leads her into the very forest that she has been taught to fear. There she discovers a forgotten legacy of magic, one that is bound to her own identity. In order to save the children of Biltmore, Serafina must seek the answers that will unlock the puzzle of her past.

And what begins as a rescue mission becomes something much greater as the two friends find themselves entwined in a struggle for the very freedom of this wilderness. A wilderness the locals call Wildwood.

The Clique by Lisi Harrison

Enter Claire Lyons, the new girl from Florida in Keds and two-year-old Gap overalls, who is clearly not Clique material. Unfortunately for her, while they look for a new home, Claire's family is staying in the guesthouse of the one and only Massie Block—Queen Bee of Octavian Country Day School. Claire's future looks worse than a bad Prada knockoff. But with a little luck and a lot of scheming, Claire might just come up smelling like Chanel No. 19.

Meet the rest of the Clique:

Massie Block: With her glossy brunette bob and laser-whitened smile, Massie is the uncontested ruler of The Clique and the rest of the social scene at Octavian Country Day School, an exclusive private girls' school in Westchester County, New York. Massie knows you'd give anything to be just like her.

Dylan Marvil: Massie's second in command who divides her time between sucking up to Massie and sucking down Atkins Diet shakes.

Alicia Rivera: As sneaky as she is beautiful, Alicia floats easily under adult radar because she seems so "sweet." Would love to take Massie's throne one day. Just might.

Kristen Gregory: She's smart, hardworking, and will insult you to tears faster than you can say "my haircut isn't ugly!"

Swallows and Amazons by Arthur Ransom

Swallows and Amazons introduces the lovable Walker family, the camp on Wild Cat island, the able-bodied catboat Swallow, and the two intrepid Amazons, Nancy and Peggy Blackett.

Spy School by Stuart Gibbs

Ben Ripley may only be in middle school, but he’s already pegged his dream job: C.I.A. or bust. Unfortunately for him, his personality doesn’t exactly scream “secret agent.” In fact, Ben is so awkward, he can barely get to school and back without a mishap. Because of his innate math skills, Ben isn't surprised when he is recruited for a magnet school with a focus on science—but he’s entirely shocked to discover that the school is actually a front for a junior C.I.A. academy. Could the C.I.A. really want him?

Actually, no. There’s been a case of mistaken identity—but that doesn’t stop Ben from trying to morph into a supercool undercover agent, the kind that always gets the girl. And through a series of hilarious misadventures, Ben realizes he might actually be a halfway decent spy…if he can survive all the attempts being made on his life!

My Friend Flicka by Mary O'Hara

It seems Ken can't do anything right. He loses saddle blankets and breaks reins...but then comes the worst news yet: a report card so bad that he has to repeat a grade. How can you tame the dreamy mind of a boy who stares out of the window instead of taking an exam? Enter Flicka, the chestnut filly with a wild spirit.

Over the course of one magical summer, both will learn the meaning of responsibility, courage, and, ultimately, friendship.

Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians by Brandon Sanderson

AN ANCIENT RIVALRY REAWAKENS.

Everything I'd known about the world was a lie.

On my thirteenth birthday, I, Alcatraz Smedry ( yes, I got named after a prison, don’t ask ) received my a bag of sand . And then I accidentally destroyed my foster parents’ kitchen. It’s not my fault, things just break around me, I swear !

I thought the sand was a joke until evil Librarians came to steal it. You’re probably thinking, “Librarians are nice people who recommend good books,” but that’s just what they want you to think! It turns out they’re actually a secret cult keeping the truth from you―a hidden world filled with magical eyeglasses, talking dinosaurs, and knights with crystal swords!

Or so my Grandpa Smedry claimed when he suddenly showed up to rescue me. So now I have to go with him to invade the local library and get that sand back, before it's used to conquer the world. And Grandpa says how I keep breaking things is actually an amazing talent. There’s no way that can all be true, right?

Will I ever make it back home alive?

The Faraway Tree by Enid Blyton

Jo, Bessie and Fanny move to the country and find an Enchanted Wood right on their doorstep. In the magic Faraway Tree live the magical characters that soon become their new friends – Moon-Face, Silky the fairy, and Saucepan Man. Together they visit the strange lands (the Roundabout Land, the Land of Ice and Snow, Toyland and the Land of Take What You Want) atop the tree and have the most exciting adventures – and narrow escapes.

The Past Records: Ellis & Jude Chapter 1

Fan translation only. Not 100% accurate. Please expect grammatical errors. Cybird owns everything. Feel free to reblog, but please do NOT post my translations elsewhere.

Translation notes are marked with ***

We met four years before we entered Crown, I believe.***

The night I drifted into the town of London, I passed by a bridge looking for a place to stay and saw a man looking up at the moon.

I looked at his empty-looking profile and thought he was going to fall straight into the river when he finished his cigarette.

So I just had to ask the question.

Ellis: Are you happy?

Jude: What's the point if I'm happy or not?

Ellis: I'll make the happiest moment of you're life....last forever.

Jude: Ha. What is that? Are you crazy?

Jude: The happiest I've ever been in my life. Maybe-

Victor: Working again? I heard about it beforehand, but you are very busy.

It's early morning at Crown Castle. Victor comes into the dining room for breakfast.

He called out to them in passing as they were about to go out after finishing their meal, which was already too early.

Ellis: Sorry, Victor. We'll be back tonight, so we'll talk about the mission then.

Victor: Oh, how industrious! It's totally okay!

Jude: Shut up. You don't have to apologize every time you deal with a freak.

Victor: Jude is so harsh. I love that about you, though. (SO DO WE!)

Jude: Disgusting.

Ellis: We're off.

The two left the castle with opposite expressions on their face.

Liam: I'm impressed that you don't get down at that rate every day, Victor.

Victor: Well, I'm the one who recruited those two.

Liam: I joined Crown on the condition that I could keep my current job, but those two guys seem busier than I am.

Liam: I wonder if they have time to do their duties for Crown?

It's been a few days since Ellis and Jude joined the team, and they haven't even had their first mission yet.

William: Well, it doesn't matter when their first mission is.

Harrison: Hey, can we really trust those guys?

William: Why do you say that?

Harrison: It's said he's a trader, but I've heard some fishy rumors. I hear he has a lot of enemies here and there.

Liam: Oh, I've heard that too. It's even talked about mong the fellow actors from time to time.

Liam: Some aristocrat got ripped off and had all his money squeezed out of him.

Harrison: I don't care if he's just a crooked merchant. If he's a spy, I can't just sit idly by.

Victor: You can't trust them?

Harrison: You're a random weirdo, but I know you have a good eye for people. It's just....

Victor: !Did you hear that, William?! Did you hear what Harry just said about me?! (My guy is an excited chihuahua LOL.)

William: Oh, I heard. There's more to come.

Victor: Yes, you may continue!

Harrison:.....you're a real pain in the ass.

Harrison: It's just that his background is too shady to be trusted beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Harrison: I don't think we should let those two act individually too much, do you?

Victor: Hmmm, well I don't want to restrict....their freedom too much.

William: Why don't you just make sure? Whether you can trust them or not?

Victor: Make sure....I like that!

Liam: Haha, looks like something's about to start, doesn't it?

Harrison: I have a bad feeling about this.....

Victor: So, all of Crown is together! We are going to observe Jude and Ellis' way of life!

Liam: Oh! *Claps*

Alfons: Is this another one of Victor's dimwitted projects? It's the best.

Victor: I want everyone to observe the two of them and report back to me.

Victor: The theme is: Are those two worthy of Crown?

Harrison: Damn...I shouldn't have said anything. I'm too busy for this.

Elbert: What are you busy with...?

Alfons: As I recall, you were in the middle of a reviewing job with no time to meet the deadline, and the first draft had not been submitted by the writer.

Alfons: It's as he said, “I'm going to have to stay up all night just before the deadline.”

Liam: Well, wouldn't it be nice if Harry acted as the command center?

Liam: The investigation will be shared among the members other than Harry!

Alfons: A stealth mission, sounds like fun.

Elbert: I don't mind.

Roger: Well, that's good, isn't it?

Harrison: By the way, what's your reason for not doing it?

William: I don't think we'll get that far.

Harrison: ...right?

Victor: Then let the investigation begin!

***Note: I just wanted to affirm that Ellis mentions it had been four years since he met Jude prior to joining Crown. This is not a mistranslation.

｡⋆｡˚🦋˚｡⋆｡

I guess, it happened 4 years ago. Before we joined the Crown.

On the night I drifted into London town, he was looking up at the moon as I was passing the bridge looking for a place to stay.

I looked at his vacant profile and thought he was going to fall straight into the river after he finished his cigarette.

So I asked...

Ellis: "Are you happy?"

Jude: "...What if I am?"

Ellis: "I will make your happiness....last forever."

Jude: "Hah? What the hell are you saying? Are you crazy?"

Jude: "..Make your happiness last forever. Yeah right----"

...........

Victor: "Working again, today? I know you said about this before, but I didn't realize you both were going to be this busy."

The Crown castle in the early morning, Victor comes to the dining room for breakfast.

The two had already finished their breakfast very early and were about to go out when they were called by Victor, who walks by them.

Ellis: "Sorry Victor. We'll be back in the evening and ask about our mission then."

Victor: "Sure sure, no problem! I'm just glad you both look healthy!"

Jude: "How annoying. You don't have to apologize all the time to this weirdo."

Victor: "Why are you so salty all the time, Jude? But then again, you're cute when you're salty too."

Jude: "Disgusting."

Ellis: "See you later."

They both left the castle, both showing different expressions.

Liam: "I'm impressed how you never get discouraged when they act like that to you everyday, Victor."

Victor: "Well, I'm the one who recruited them."

Liam: "I joined the Crown on the condition that I could keep my job but those two seem busier than me."

Liam: "Can they really make time for the Crown's missions?"

It's been a few days since Ellis and Jude joined the team and they haven't even completed their first mission.

William: "Well, it doesn't matter when you do your first mission."

Harrison: "....Hey, can we really trust them?"

William: "What do you mean?"

Harrison: " I mean he's a businessman, but I've heard some dubious rumors. I heard he's got a lot of enemies here and there."

Liam: "I heard that too. It's sometimes rumored amongst my fellow actors."

Liam: "Some aristocrat got swindled and had all his money squeezed out of him."

Harrison: "If only he was a crooked businessman, it would have been fine..."

Harrison: "If he's a spy, we can't sit idly by."

Victor: "You don't trust me too?"

Harrison: "You're a weirdo, but I know you're a good judge of character. It's just that..."

Victor: "!! William, did you see that!? Harry just complimented me!!!"

William: "Yes, I saw. But let him finish his sentence..."

Victor: "Right! Please continue!"

Harrison: "....you're a real pain in the ass."

Harrison: "I'm just saying that his background is too suspicious to warrant unquestioning confidence."

Harrison: "Wouldn't it be better not to let those two act independently too much?"

Victor: "Hmmm...well....I don't want to restrict their freedom too much."

William: "Why don't you find that yourself? See if they are trustworthy or not."

Victor: "Wow!!! ....that's a great idea!"

Liam: "Aha, looks like the start of something, right?"

Harrison: *sighs* ".....I have a bad feeling about this."

...............

Victor: "Are all my Curselings here? Okay, let's start Mission Impossible: Jude and Ellis."

Liam: "Yayyh!!" *clap clap clap*

Alphonse: "Another one of Lord Victor's bullshit project? Wow, I'm so excited."

Victor: "I want all of you to observe them and report back to me."

Victor: "The main goal for us, is to see 'are they fit to be the Crown members or not'."

Harrison: "Tch...I shouldn't have said anything. I'm busy as hell."

Elbert: ".....Are you busy?"

Alphonse: "You mean you proofreading? But if I recall correctly, there is not deadline and the first draft from the writer haven't been received yet."

Alphonse: "I don't think he said you had to wait all night to finish your work."

Liam: "Wouldn't it be nice if Harry is the leader?"

Liam: "The investigation will be done by all the members except for Harry."

Alphonse: "Sneaking missions? Sounds fun."

Elbert: "I don't mind too."

Roger: "Sounds good, right?"

Harrison: "....Hey when did that happen?"

William: "But now that we have come this far, why not?"

Harrison: ".....Okay."

Victor: "Then! The Mission Impossible: Jude and Ellis, have begun!"
