"Do you love her?" - OS | Hwang Hyunjin (SKZ)

prompt: Your brother Jisung suspects you to like one of his bestfriends. How will you tell him the truth?

Pairing: Hwang Hyunjin x You

Word count : Around 2000

Category : mostly fluff

It was Sunday morning, and you were watching tv in the living room of your parent’s house, wearing sweatpants and a hoodie. Your hair was messy and you had a face mask on, typical Sunday afternoon look.

Jisung, your older brother, came downstairs, and grabbed a chocolate bar in the pantry.

“Yo Y/N, Hyunjin is coming over real quick, we’re going to Felix’s to play games...I’ll be back this evening” he said, munching on his snack

“Oh he is coming here?” You said, sitting up straight

“Yeah...he’s just coming in to grab something to eat, we won’t be long, why?”

“Oh okay...nothing...I just didn’t know” you said, trying to look as carefree as possible

The truth was, you had quite a big crush on Hyunjin even if he was your brother’s best friend.

A few minutes later, you heard his car park in front of the house.

“Hi Y/N” he said as soon as he came in. “How are you?” He asked, smiling at you

“Hi! I’m great and you?”

“Feeling really good” he softly said, looking at you straight in the eyes.

You smiled and looked down, feeling kind of intimidated even though you had known him for the longest time.

Jisung, who was finishing his chocolate bar was observing you two.

“Hyunjin, do you want a sandwich or just a snack?” He asked, speaking a little louder than usual

“Uh yeah I’ll take a snack thanks bro…”

Jisung gave him the candy bar and they both left.

Well that was weird…you thought, switching the tv off.

When Jisung came back home, he looked kind of down, so you asked him if something had happened with Hyunjin or Felix.

“Nah…I was just thinking about earlier…is there something going on?”

“Uh…what do you mean?”

“I mean between you and Hyunjin? Is there something going on? I don’t know it was weird…the way you two looked at each other and stuff...”

“Oh…no no no don’t worry I was just a bit flustered because I didn’t know he was coming and I looked all weird with my mask and-”

“Since when do you care though? I mean I’m pretty sure he saw you looking worse than this”

“Okay? Well I was a bit embarrassed that’s all.”

You really didn’t like lying to Jisung but you had to.

“Okay…okay, I was just wondering…have you eaten yet? Maybe I can order some pizza?”

“Hum yeah okay! I’ll take a shower in the meantime!”

Since your parents were on vacation to celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary, Jisung and you were alone for a week.

Your brother and you had a really good relationship and loved spending time together.

After playing some games and eating your pizzas, you decided to go to sleep because you had an exam the next day.

***

Come on Y/N, come on, hurry up!

You put your pencil case back in your backpack and checked the time on your phone: it was already 6:39pm.

you had spent a bit more time than expected on your exam and now, you were about to miss the last bus which was leaving at 6:45pm. Unfortunately, you had a 10-minute walk to arrive at the bus stop.

Screw it, I’ll never make it in time…I’ll just walk home…

As you were walking down the main road, you heard a car slow down and park next to you.

“Y/N?”

You immediately recognized Hyunjin’s voice.

“Oh hi Hyunjin!”

“Are you going home?”

“yeah…I missed the bus” you replied, a little embarrassed.

“Oh…well, hop in! I have an errand to run in the area anyways” he smiled brightly and unlocked the doors.

“Thanks!”

You got in and fastened your seatbelt.

“Were you really going to walk home?” He asked, looking quite worried

“Yeah…I took too long to finish my exam”

“Oh right, how did it go?? I’m sure you nailed it!” He exclaimed

“I hope so…”

“You know what, let’s go get something to drink, you up for some coffee? I’m buying.”

“I wouldn’t say no to some coffee! I’m exhausted…” You sighed

He took a left turn and drove to one of your favourite coffee shops.

After ordering, you two sat down with your drinks and spent some time together.

“So, what are you up to my little Y/N?”

“well…not much honestly, I’ve been quite busy with exams and assignments these days so…”

“How long have we known each other Y/N?” Hyunjin suddenly asked, sipping on his iced americano

“Oh my…I feel like I’ve always known you to be honest…why?”

“No nothing I was just wondering…you know I really like hanging out with you, even though we don’t do it as often as before. I feel like I can tell you things I can’t really tell Jisung.” He continued

“Really? I mean it’s crazy…I feel the exact same”

You had always been really comfortable around Hyunjin. Jisung and him had been friends for over 15 years. He was kind of your best friend too. Well…that was before last year when you two kissed at Jisung’s birthday party. You were both kind of tipsy and had gone outside to watch the stars together and talk. Next thing you knew, Hyunjin and you were kissing under the moonlight.

You two never told Jisung and swore to never talk about it ever again.

But the thing was: since that day, you had started to see Hyunjin differently. He wasn’t “your brother’s best friend” anymore but just a boy who was really really cute.

Since you were starting to get a bit cold, Hyunjin gave you his hoodie and you two went back to the car.

“Thanks for the coffee!” You exclaimed, buckling your seat belt.

“No problem, it was really nice hanging out with you a bit…”

He stopped talking and suddenly the atmosphere changed.

“Y/N?” Hyunjin finally said, looking at you

“Yes?”

“You know I’ve been thinking about our kiss every single day since Jisung’s party? The reason why I’e kinda been avoiding you the past few months is because I was just trying to hide my feelings…for you.”

You were so shocked and also tremendously happy but the only words that came out of your mouth were:

“Oh really…”

“I don’t know if you feel the same about me and I really wish that it is the case but I needed to say it…I don’t want to make things awkward between us but-“

You didn’t let him finish his sentence, as you crushed your lips on his.

Since that day, Hyunjin and you started dating but you both agreed on the fact that Jisung shouldn’t know about your relationship.

When you came back home, Jisung was laying on the couch, watching TV.

“So? How did the exam go?” He asked, switching the tv off as soon as you arrived in the living room.

“It was okay I guess…honestly I don’t know”

“Wait, are you wearing Hyunjin’s hoodie? Were you with him today?” Jisung started to get a bit suspicious

“Huh, yeah I missed the bus so he drove me back home…I was a bit cold so he gave it to me” You felt your cheeks burn.

“Why are you still wearing it though?” Jisung continued, looking slightly annoyed

Because it smells amazing and it feels like Hyunjin is right next to me which comforts me a lot.

This is what you wanted to answer but for obvious reasons, you couldn’t.

“I don’t know jeez…I just kept it calm down…I’ll give it back when he comes”

“Nah give it to me, I’ll return it tomorrow”

You took the hoodie off and throw it at your brother before going back upstairs, in your room.

Since you hadn’t come back downstairs to eat, Jisung knocked on your door and entered your room.

“Yo, what’s up with you? I made pasta, you’re not gonna eat?”

“I’m not really hungry…”

He sat down on your bed and looked at you with a serious look on his face.

“Y/N… be honest with me please. What the hell is going on? These days I can’t even recognize you, your behaviour is so weird and…and I feel like it’s because of Hyunjin”

Shit….

“No, I mean nothing is up with me…why would something be up with me? Nothing is up with me…”

“Girl…you really don’t know how to lie…”

“I’m not lying Jisung…you need to stop obsessing over Hyunjin and me.”

“Okay…I hope I can trust you.”

“Yeah…”

Once again, you felt terrible, but you couldn’t tell him the truth, it would hurt him too much and you were honestly scared of his reaction.

***

Hyunjin and you had been dating for about a month now but hiding the relationship was becoming harder and harder every day. You hated that you had to lie to your brother.

It was also really difficult to meet with Hyunjin and hide it from Jisung since you both had either school, homework to do or simply because Jisung was there.

This is why you took the decision to tell Jisung about your relationship with Hyunjin.

You hand’t told Hyunjin because you know he would try to stop you.

Saturday evening. Hyunjin came over as usual and as always, you two started your acting performances and acted as if you were just friends.

“Hi Y/N” he simply said, barely looking at you

“Hi…”

He directly went in the kitchen where Jisung was doing some homework.

“Hey! How are you?” Asked Hyunjin

“Could be better…I’ve been working on this essay for like…5h? And it’s due tomorrow…”

“You should take a break dude, let’s play some games”

“Yeah… I’m just gonna finish this part”

“ I’ll go upstairs set everything up !” said Hyunjin

This was your cue, you waited for a bit and entered the kitchen. You were scared of disappointing your brother but it had to be done. You were tired of lying.

“Jisung?” You simply said, sitting down at the table.

“Huh yeah? What’s up?”

“Can I talk to you for a second?”

“Okay what the hell Y/N? You’re scaring me”

“I have a boyfriend…” You said, looking down as if you had done something wrong.

“For how long??”

“About a month…”

“Well that cool Y/N-”

“It’s Hyunjin.” You saw his smile fade away instantly.

Jisung didn’t say anything and closed his laptop.

After a few seconds he let out a nervous laugh.

“I’m sorry what? No because I thought you just said you had been going out with my best friend for a month without telling me…that’s silly…”

He looked at you straight in the eyes, but you really could not read his feelings.

“Can you stop Jisung, I’m having a hard time right now…”

“Oh yeah? Well think about me, will you? Do you know how much this situation sucks? Why didn’t you tell me? I can’t believe it…”

“Well I was scared of your reaction…I’m so sorry Jisung, really…”

“I could understand why Hyunjin didn’t say anything but you? Every time I asked you, you lied to me, looking at me straight in the eye…”

“I-“ You didn’t even know what to say anymore.

“Among all the boys there are in this city you had to date MY best friend…you do understand why I don’t like this right?”

“What do you mean?’

“What if you two break up? What if he hurts you? What if he breaks your heart? Am I supposed to still hang out with him, knowing that il would hurt you? Or should I ditch my best friend whom I’ve known for almost 20 years? Should I stop hanging with him? The guy who’s is like a brother to me? And what if you break his heart? What am I supposed to do?

“I just want you to be happy for me…for us…”

Since Jisung hadn’t come up, Hyunjin came back in the kitchen

“Yo dude, I’m waiting for- Oh…”

Hyunjin stopped and looked at you, understanding what was happening.

“You told him…”

Jisung turned to Hyunjin

“Why didn’t you tell me?”

“I’m sorry man, I was scared…Y/N is your sister, I was worried it would make things awkward but I should have told you I’m sorry…”

The three of you was sitting around the little kitchen table, looking at each other. No one spoke for a few minutes but Jisung broke the silence.

“Hyunjin do you love my sister?”

Hyunjin looked at you and said :

“I’m madly in love with her yeah…”

You could help but smile.

“I love you too.” You said

“Then that’s all that matters. Even though I just wished you had told me sooner but…I love you both and I happy that you two love each other too” He finally smiled and stood up.

“Come on, group hug”

You jumped in his arms and let a tear of joy roll down your cheek.

Madness draws: Behind the Scenes of the latest Farin&Bela pencil drawing.

Aka the one that’s also my icon, even when that was a big risk to take because normally I start hating the photos I have once drawn, especially if I have failed miserably. This is how the drawing itself turned out:

ATTENTION: The original post about that drawing, with better image, behind this link.

This post is solely about the process itself with lots of pictures and also plenty of gifs, because I promised to do one if people would like to see that and I got some comments saying that they’re looking forward for that. So, here’s now that post!

For starters I have to apologize for the terrible quality that is the photos. I used my phone camera only and never thought about posting them, I just took them as a reference for myself and to show the progress to a friend and only after finishing the drawing I noticed that the angle of the camera causes a huge impact on the perspective of the drawing, so I sometimes might have done useless work when I thought some perspective was wrong when it was actually the photo that was wrong and not my work! I mean, take a look at these photos of the finished piece:

You see that? I realized this when I took maybe the second photo of the Farin sheet and looked at it and couldn’t believe my eyes because I didn’t remember drawing his torsto THAT small! And then I looked at the drawing and was like “wtf???” because it looked nothing like in the photo and then it hit me...

Also, another thing that I learn was that I might need to pay more attention to the perspective of the whole thing also because when I draw, I sit at the table so I am constantly seeing the drawing from my perspective instead of looking at it from above so that’s probably also going to affect the way I draw. I try to keep that in mind in the future so I can avoid redrawing things again and again just because my perspective is different than the reference photo’s.

Also the giant forehead of Farin’s in the photo on the right might have caused me to laugh a bit too much but anyway, let’s continue~ Or more like: let’s start for real this time.

Here’s the reference photo to y’all:

What I did in photoshop was to draw a line between them to see how I can divide the photo on two A4 papers. I had been thinking about this photo for some time already because it’s one of my favorites (but now I just feel cringy looking at it after I have drawn it... goddamnit!), and I got this idea that I could try drawing it on two papers in case I fuck up so I can start over or try again without having to do twice the work! Which was actually a good decision because this was the first version of Farin:

And it was awful. I also realized I had never drawn Farin’s face from he front. I have drawn him before from the side a few times but maybe once it came out actually good so that was why I decided to do the 2 paper method - because I knew it was not going to be an easy job! Bela is relatively easy to draw so I knew already that I would not have too many problems with that one.

I struggled with Farin’s eyes the most, at first.

It took me a while to figure out how to do that white line in his lower lid. Keep in mind that this was my first face portrait in over 10 years so I was very, very rusty and I just didn’t remember how to draw like anything anymore. (The photo is tilted because Bela’s face is a bit tilted and my hand can’t draw anything that is not straight [lol] so I have to rotate the photo in order to even draw the sketch of Bela’s eyes.)

So I took my sketchbook and tried to do some eyes...

I was still struggling so much here until I remembered about blending. And I didn’t have my hopes high but grabbed the eyeshadow applicators (my fave tool for blending) anyway, and switched to my other sketchbook in case the paper was the issue and:

Blending. It was all about blending! So with that in mind, I realized I can continue and I don’t need to do these in my old way, everything doesn’t have to have a lineart done but some of the job is done not with the pencils but with the eraser.

Anyhow, the previous Farin looked really bad and was too big as well so I just discarded that and started a new sheet because the old lines were not coming off properly anymore. I don’t remember if this is the old face or new but I think this might still be the old one:

Yes it definitely is the old because look at those lines! This is the new sheet:

And in the photo you can see one of my pencils - I use Derwent Graphic pencils, it’s a 12 pencil set with very soft pencils, starting with H, F and HB and ending to 9B. With this one I used F, HB, B, 2B, 5B, 7B and 9B. The white pencil is actually my new love aka the eraser pencil Koh-I-Noor Hardmuth. It’s amazing, I recommend! I just didn’t order 10 new ones this other day. I actually used about 1,5 full eraser pencils on this drawing alone so that’s why 10.

Here’s a “little” gif of the process on Farin:

I felt crazy when I went for the shirt, and I felt like I was going crazy MEANWHILE drawing it but in the end I did it and I’m super proud of it!

Below is the reference photo, it was pain in the ass to follow all those lines with my eyes and try to find what was I drawing and where was I but I think I did good. That was a fun challenge.

Okay so, when I was done with the new lineart, I decided to go for the shading and blending because that’s what really makes the drawings to pop. I started with the left (his right, my left) side of Farin’s face because I’m right-handed, and in the first photo I had done just the left (right) eye and mouth and nose, but in the second there’s also the other eye done already:

Keep in mind this was not the last time I drew the eyes. Not even close.

Something was off with the right (left) eye so I had to do that one again and I noticed that when you blend but haven’t erased and cleaned it yet, it looks like a black eye :DDD So here’s the before and after images of that cleaning. (Cleaning = I draw, blend, erase, draw and blend more when needed and then erase again, and repeat this as many times as I need until it starts to look ready to my eye.)

So here Farin was “finished” but if you still remember the final piece or compare it to it, you might notice it looks quite different. And you’re right. But more about that later, because at this point I started to work on Bela.

It actually started really well - I also had to do the whole lineart again because it did not match the size of “finished” Farin. I don’t remember if this is the first or second eye but when I had drawn his eye for the first time, I noticed it was not in line with Farin so I had to redraw it. A gif of the progress:

What’s that brown paper I’m using, you may ask? Well I noticed that people have some sort of paper on top of their art to keep it from smudging and I have no clue what that is so here’s my poor artist recommendation: baking paper! I tested it and it works (if you just remember to keep it under your hand, that is...) so that is, in fact, baking paper! :DD

I have drawn Bela’s face a few times before and he’s just so much easier to draw. In fact I used 4-5 days on Farin but I managed to start and finish (this version of) Bela just in one day. And that means that out of 12 hours (because I literally used the whole day for drawing) I used maybe like... 5h or something on Bela. That’s how much easier he really is to draw.

I don’t know wtf is wrong with Farin’s face but he’s extremely difficult to draw and I’m not the only one who has been saying this. I guess he just looks so regular but still unique enough to be difficult to draw. Bela then again has features that are very unique and very... caricature-like? I mean that just by drawing his nose or chin you can make a comic book Bela look exactly like himself, and with more realistic style his eyes already do a lot, but Farin’s really the opposite. My comic book version of Farin is literally the most basic version I can draw, it’s how I draw those characters and the only thing that makes him look himself is the hair, and his nose in a side profile. So I think that’s why it’s so difficult to draw him because he doesn’t look too regular but still regular enough to make is a very challenging task to do properly.

So yeah, the same day as I started working on Bela, I was also “finished” with the drawing:

Also look at how different it looks like from this perspective:

With the reference photo open in photoshop and I don’t understand how Bela looks more like himself in my drawing than in the photo. Also when I showed the WIP to my brother, he said that I somehow had succeeded at making Farin look more like Farin than what he does in the photo even. It’s weird.

But we were still far from finished. I was going to use the fixative on this soon but it just kept snowing the whole week so I couldn’t so every time I walked past the drawings, I stopped to fix this and that. For days I kept telling myself “I’m done, I can’t do more than this, I can’t do better than this.” and considered the drawing finished but still kept fixing things. Every time I was “done” with the other drawing, I saw something to fix in the other one and once that was done, I felt like the first one wasn’t as good and had to fix something from it too. And that led to a cycle where the other drawing was always better than the other and the worse one needed to be fixed. In the end I was hating the whole process and myself and my skills and I was already ready to abandon this whole thing and call it a day and never ever show it to anyone “because I cannot draw”. The photo above, here’s a list of things I redrew after that:

Bela’s eyes, the right (left) one at least twice.

Bela’s nose.

Bela’s mouth a couple of times.

Farin’s eyes x588045028520

And a list of things I kept fixing and fixing:

Bela’s chin.

Bela’s neck shadows.

Bela’s hairline.

Farin’s whole face was tilted so I tried to fix that.

Farin’s face was too wide, which meant also partially redrawing the ear.

Farin’s hair was too long and wide too.

Farin’s nose.

Farin’s mouth might be the only thing I drew only once and I’m actually still extremely proud of how it came to be. I did the lips solely with blending so that was super exciting to notice how I can use it for drawing and don’t need the pencils for everything!

During Bela’s eyes and nose and mouth especially I was hating myself so much and I felt like I was taking the risk of ruining the whole thing and a few times I was certain that was what I had just done too, until I somehow was able to save it again. But because of that, I wasn’t able to make Bela’s mouth any lighter anymore, the color wasn’t just coming off the paper so had to use what was there and make it look like it’s how it’s supposed to be, too.

Here’s a gif about those changes on Bela - the first one has the old eyes and nose, the others have minor changed on the nose and mouth:

(The blacks probably don’t get any blacker in reality, I did add more color to it all the time but mainly it’s just the lighting and my phone camera changing the brightness.)

I did the final details on his nose without even using the reference photo anymore. The photo didn’t seem to make any sense anymore at all so I was just using my mechanical pencil and the blending tool and eraser to make is look better. To my eye it looked more like a very flat nose with a big tip of the nose and he doesn’t have a flat nose and I tried to get rid of that illusion. I still feel like it makes him look bit weird but I’m not entirely sure how. Maybe it was because of my improvisation, idk...

So, Bela was then finally finished for the last time. In the Farin piece his left (right) eye had been bugging me the whole time and I didn’t want to touch it but still I felt like I have to do something about it because it was bugging me way too much. I then figured I could draw the eye line by line and take a photo of it each time to see if it looks right already or not, maybe I could then avoid doing all the phases before I was sure what to think about it. I mean, now the only way to see if it was correct was to draw e.g. an eye from start to finish, I couldn’t see from just the lineart or unblended eye if it was in the right spot etc. And here’s that progress on a gif:

The gif about only the eye would look so nice if Tumblr didn’t make the gifs so HUGE - this one is actually only 300px or 400px or something:

Apparently I also wasn’t happy with the other eye because:

But good thing is: I really enjoy drawing eyes. I love seeing them to “come alive”, my favorite part was to eraser a bit of the color on the iris to make them look like they are actually shiny! It feels like something so small to do and yet it makes a huge impact on the drawing!

And here’s yet another gif of the whole Farin sheet with all of the changes, including the last changes that made his head narrower, and less tilted and more in line. Look at the left side of his head especially to see that:

I can also see his nose changing between the first few photos. I keep forgetting about that but yeah, I also fixed that a little at some point.

And last but not least, the whole drawing in some sort of a timelapse gif:

Last two are the same but just a photo and the scan of the finished drawing. I still keep seeing things I would do differently but no can do, I already used fixative on it, also to keep myself from obsessing with it any more :D And to use it as a study of some sort. I have never been able to draw a perfect pencil drawing and this isn’t one either. I probably never can draw perfect drawings from references.

I do enjoy the whole shading and blending process, so much so that when I was editing these photos, I just wanted to start drawing something so bad but I also figured that I start to lose motivation when I get to the point where everything should be finished but I just can’t make it perfect. Like the current WIP I have, all I should do is to get the proportions and perspective and the lines of their faces correctly and I would be ready but it feels more like a superpower some people possess and I’m not one of those. I don’t know what is it but I just feel that I cannot see. I don’t know how to explain it, but I can’t see what I try to do and somehow keep drawing everything the wrong way. Just like in this post’s drawing too. There’s still things that are wrong and I know what it is but I don’t know how to solve it. My hands just don’t listen to me and they can’t do what I think they should. I also think the reason I cannot draw perfect copies of photos is because you can always see my “handprint” in them. If I copy a photo, it will look like a photo and not like a drawing made by me. So I believe that in my drawing there’s always a part of me visible and I’m not entirely sure if it’s a good thing or not. On bad days it’s not a good thing, obviously. On good days? Well I guess it’s good then because it just means I have my own style which I really should appreciate. But I wish I had my style only when I want it to be visible, but I can’t control it. Just like I cannot write text by hand that would look like it was written with a computer, so I guess I should just try to get used to it, no matter how much it’d bug me sometimes.

Runaway soulmate|Zen

Summary: The reader is in a universe where their wrist has a countdown to when they meet their soulmate. She finds out that her soulmate is the one and only Zen and postpones it as long as she could until they finally meet.

Pairing: Zen x reader

Warnings: None

Authors note: This is originally on my wattpad but I liked it so much and wanted to post it here as well 😊

0000d 03h 12m 27s

The time on your wrist counting down until you met your soulmate. The thing is you know who your soulmate was already. Hyun Ryu or also known as Zen. You knew because a couple months ago you first went to one of his shows as a fan and just when you where about to go meet him you noticed your timer going down fast and noticed he was also looking at his wrist. You panicked and ran away. When you got back to your apartment you looked back at your wrist and it had changed to say 00010d 5h 6m 50s. You felt like a coward just leaving like that but you couldn't go through with it. Considering he has a show roughly every two weeks you went to 4 so far this being your fifth time and you hold the ticket in your hands.

"I can do this!" you say trying to convince yourself to go through with meeting him today. You weren't very convincing. You take a deep breath and decide to get ready for tonight.

Zen has entered the chatroom.

Yoosung has entered the chatroom.

707 has entered the chatroom.

707-Zen! Tonights the night right?

Zen-Yes!

Yoosung-Lets hope she doesn't run away this time!

Zen-ya;;

707-I will pray for you! God Seven Zero Seven defender of justice will be rooting for you!

Zen-Stop...

Yoosung-...Cheer up Zen! I'm sure this time things will work out!

707-Ya and if not we should make a plan for your next show!!

Zen-...I'll be leaving now, I have to get ready!

Yoosung-Good luck!

Zen-Thanks!

Zen has left the chatroom.

Yoosung has left the chatroom.

707 has left the chatroom.

0000d 01h 02m 43s

You stand in line waiting to get in the auditorium. You were dressed nicely and some of Zen's fans even though you might be famous considering how gorgeous you looked. You thought differently though and were very self-cautious about how you looked. One of the main reasons you didn't want to meet Zen yet. You promised you would go through with it this time.

"Here you go!" The greeter at the door handed you a pamphlet with a smile.

"Thank you." You nodded and headed in and took your seat on the middle edge.

"She's so pretty!" A girl whispered to her friend in the row behind you.

"I know! I wouldn't be surprised if she was famous or something! She has the looks every girl would kill for! Perfect hair, figure, skin tone, and look at those nails!"

"I know right her nails are killing it!" These words go unheard by you because you are so nervous. The show starts and you tense up.

0000d 00h 02m 38s

You start feeling more anxious than ever. The show has ended and you would glance at your wrist every once in a while to make sure it is actually Zen and not some other person. As you are standing in line with all the others to get an autograph and pictures and your palms are sweating.

0000d 00h 00m 30s

It is your turn next and man was you a wreak you could hardly breathe and it felt as if you were going to pass out.

"Nope!" You said in your mind and walked away to the nearest exit and ran into a guy with blonde hair and violet eyes. "sorry! excuse me!" You apologize and walk fastly out of there.

0013d 06h 03m 12s

"Any luck Zen?" Yoosung asks as he walks up to Zen after all the fans left.

"No" He signs and shows him his wrist.

"Your next show I'm guessing?" Yoosung says looking.

"Yeah, but why are you here? I thought you would be playing your game or something."

"Well I was but I couldn't focus because I was worried about you and your soulmate situation. So I came to check on you!"

"That is very kind of you" Zen smiles at Yoosung and signs looking at the seats where his soulmate once sat.

"What's wrong with meeee?!" you groan and sink into your bed hugging your pillow.

"There isn't anything wrong with you!" Your roommate/ best friend says and pats your back. They got back from work as you got home from running away again. "I get that your nervous and need time. Maybe next time I can go with you! So you won't be so scared!" They smile at you and you smile back.

"I would like that!" You look online and buy the tickets for the next show. "Next time for sure!"

"Yeah!" f/n exclaims and for the rest of the night you two watched movies and ate ice cream.

0000d 04h 09m 34s

"Today's the day!" f/n says from her/his room.

"I know!!!" You say back. You two were deciding on what to wear. You hold up a stunning f/c dress to your body.

"You have to wear that!" f/n said standing in your doorway.

"Really?" You say looking in the mirror again.

"Yes! It's perfect! Zen will swoon in seconds!!" They exclaim and push you into the bathroom with a towel. "Shower!"

"Fine! Hahaha" you laugh and shake your head.

Zen has entered the chatroom.

Yoosung has entered the chatroom.

707 has entered the chatroom.

Jaehee has entered the chatroom.

Yoosung-Its the night!!! Again!

Jaehee-yeah are you excited?

Zen-yes! And nervous tho tbh

707-No! You don't have to be nervous! We got this!!

Yoosung-yeah! Let's go over the plan once more?

Jaehee-I thinks that's a good idea.

707-okay so-

You sit in the same spot as last time but this time with your friend next to you. The same girls still sat behind you and are still fangirling about you. Your friend smiles seeing how oblivious you are.

"Omg, she looks even prettier than last time!!"

"I know right! Like, give me her hair!"

"I know like girl crush!"

"Yas! She be slayin all the time!"

"God made a goddess and she is sitting in our presence!"

The show starts and you are already nervous. Your friend touches your shoulder in reassurance and you calm down a little. When the show was halfway done you see your clock say there are two minutes and twenty seconds left and start to panic.

"Whats going on?!" You whisper yell.

"What?" Your friend says back and you show her your clock.

"It's going down fast and the show isn't even over yet!"

"Ahem! One two three...mic check" we hear a voice say over the speaker and everyone is confused and you are panicking. "We are having a little break so please stay in your seats!"

"What on earth?" You friend said looking around seeing a person standing guard at each exit.

"Okay! Go! Walk where your heart desires Zen!" He starts walking on the other side and looking at the audience and you are shaking in your seat.

"I guess you don't get to choose today." Your friend whispers to you and makes sure you won't pass out. He finally is walking down your side and there are only 10 seconds left and he is only 5 steps away. You try not to look but your eyes couldn't leave his approaching figure. When he was finally one step away your eyes met and you felt a vibration on your wrist signaling it was now at 0000d 00h 00m 00s.

"Well hello, runaway soulmate!"

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 2h I just met my future husband. He doesn’t know it yet. We locked eyes in the elevator and he sorta smiled. Obviously, we’re meant to be. Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 2h Replying to @Iris_WestAllen yes, but you didn’t SEE him. Total fire. FUEEEGOOOOOOO. Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 2h Replying to @Iris_WestAllen and @speedster89 Unfortunately, I have no idea who The Husband is IRL but in this dream sequence HE IS MINE. Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 2h Replying to @Iris_WestAllen and @speedster89 I’m not going to worry about him seeing my twitter, Barry. I have all of 11 (wonderful!) followers & it’s private. He’s probably here for a meeting or something. Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 30m THE HUSBAND IS OUR NEW CEO FRAAAAACKKKKKKKKKKKK Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 28m UPDATE 1 FROM THE BATHROOM: JUST MET THE HUSBAND AS IN THE NEWLY APPOINTED CEO AS IN OLIVER FRACKING QUEEN. HOW DID I NOT RECOGNIZE OLIVER MY MIDDLE NAME IS TABLOID PLAYBOY QUEEN.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 27m UPDATE 2 FROM THE BATHROOM: IN CASE ANYONE IS WONDERING: A HAIRCUT, DESIGNER SUIT, AND STUBBLE CAN COMPLETELY CONCEAL YOUR IDENTITY. Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 26m Replying to @speedster89 coming from a guy who wears comic book paraphernalia daily, this means nothing. I’d make a bet you’re wearing a Flash t-shirt under your suit jacket today, but frankly I’m tired of taking your money so easily. Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 25m Update 3 from the bathroom: I am slightly calmer. I definitely did not mention his dead dad within the first two minutes of meeting THE NEW FRACKING CEO BECAUSE YES OF COURSE I MENTIONED HIS DEAD DAD I AM A MONSTER Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 24m Replying to @speedster89 DO NOT TELL ME TO CALM DOWN, ALLEN. DO NOT. Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 22m Replying to @Iris_WestAllen All he said was: “Felicity Smoak? Hi. I’m Oliver Queen.” And then I said, “Oh, I know who you are. You’re Mr. Queen.” And he said, “Mr. Queen was my father. Call me Oliver.” Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 22m Replying to @Iris_WestAllen not done…wait for it…I said: “right, because he died. He’s dead. Your dad. Not that you need to be reminded.” Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 20m Replying to @Iris_WestAllen oh yes, yes I did. Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 18m Poll Will I get fired today? Yes: 80% No: 20% Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 17m Thanks for the vote of confidence guys. Much appreciated ……….. Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 16m Update 3: leaving the bathroom. Must continue working and being a human despite finding and losing future husband due to highly offensive verbal diarrhea and oh, right HE’S MY BOSS

Friday, November 9, 2012

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 1h Update from the bathroom: EPIC FAIL FRIENDS. Almost latte’d the husband’s shoes. Hiding out in bathroom until coast is clear. Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 1h Replying to @Iris_WestAllen I ran into him. Like, directly ran head first into his wall of a chest. And I maybe pet him, just a little. I COULDN’T HELP MYSELF OK. I JUST COULDN’T. Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 1h Replying to @Iris_WestAllen nope, the latte went flying to the floor and I went crashing into the husband - who caught me btw. Excellent reflexes. Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 1h Replying to @Iris_WestAllen I had my hands out in front of me to stop the impending floor collision. So instead of hitting the floor, The Husband caught me. Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 58m Replying to @Iris_WestAllen I pet his suit jacket just a little. You know, smoothing out the wrinkles. And then because it’s me, I. Made. It. Worse.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 55m Replying to @Iris_WestAllen um Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 50m Replying to @Iris_WestAllen  FINE. I maybe said something along the lines of “you’re so hard” and then it spiraled from there…………………….. Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 48m Replying to @Iris_WestAllen thankfully I stopped myself from mentioning his well tailored pants. Early Hanukkah miracle. Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 37m Did I just sexually harass my boss? Should I report myself to HR? What do I do now? Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 30m Poll: Will I get fired today? Yes: 100% No: 0% Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 10m HOLY SHIT. HOLY SHIT. SOS. SOS. MAYDAY. THE HUSBAND REPLACED ABOVE MENTIONED LATTE.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 10m IT WAS WAITING ON MY DESK WITH A NOTE. HOLY SHIT.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 9m I AM DECEASED

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 8m Someone call my mother. Tell her I died. Please don’t let her bury me in sequins.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 6m Replying to @Iris_WestAllen the note said: Fridays are hard. Hope this helps. -O

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 5m Replying to @Iris_WestAllen THIS IS NOT CUTE WEST NOT CUTE AT ALL

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 4m Replying to @Iris_WestAllen and @speedster89 STOP IT YOU TWO I AM SERIOUS HERE. THE HUSBAND WAS IN. MY. OFFICE. HE. BOUGHT. ME. A. LATTE. HE IS STILL MY BOSS WHO I SEXUALLY HARASSED BY ACCIDENT. Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 1m @Iris_WestAllen and @speedster89 are the worst friends ever. 0/10 do not recommend.

Wednesday, November 14, 2012

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 3h That moment when you’re called to the boss’s office and he happens to be your imaginary husband…

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 3h Replying to @Iris_WestAllen no, I did not re-apply my lipstick before going up there. He is still my boss. Give me a little credit.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 3h Replying to @Iris_WestAllen fine, I lied.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 2h Things I Have Learned About The Husband, Volume 1: Blue suit + blue eyes = my death

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 2h Things I Have Learned About The Husband, Volume 2: He apparently thinks INTERNET EXPLORER is a preferable browsing option and does NOT CARE that he is hurting my soul.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 20m Replying to @Iris_WestAllen dollars to donuts, he was not paying attention to my lipstick or anything else I was wearing.

Tuesday, November, 20, 2012

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 8h Adding “Personal Internet Researcher for Oliver Queen” to my resume.

Wednesday, November 21, 2012

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 6h 5pm on the day before Thanksgiving and what am I doing? NOT GETTING ON MY TRAIN TO @Iris_WestAllen @speedster89

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 6h I see you all asking (ok, no one is asking whatever. I’ll just be over here, SHOUTING INTO THE VOID): Felicity, why aren’t you heading to Central City to spend the holiday with your friends?

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 6h Well let me fill you in, Internet Void, since you’ve asked so kindly. I am sitting at my desk surrounded by ABSOLUTELY NO ONE ELSE doing my boss’s job because EEOC and obviously PICNIC.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 5h Tell me why I work here again?

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 5h Replying to @speedster89 yes, Barry. I remember that it’s my job and it pays the bills. And no, boss as in my immediate supervisor and not The Husband who is the Boss of All Bosses.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 5h @Iris_WestAllen @speedster89 sorry again you guys. I wish I was on that train.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 5h Replying to @Iris_WestAllen @speedster89 I love you both, too.

Monday, November 26, 2012

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 2h Called to The Husband’s office this morning for an emergency. Interoffice message said: 911 CEO. Apparently, 2 Master’s degrees from MIT mean you respond when said CEO spills his coffee ALL OVER HIS LAPTOP.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 1h I suppose I should be thankful he didn’t mistake the CD-ROM for a cup holder.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 20m Things I Have Learned About The Husband, Volume 3: Apparently he likes flavored coffee because this computer smells distinctly of blueberry.

Wednesday, November 28, 2012

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 7h Things I Have Learned About The Husband, Volume 4: His sister is gorgeous but I also get the vibe that she could kill a guy with her bare hands. Awesome.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 7h Also, I was able to refrain from talking about The Husband’s chest, eyes, hair, smile, voice, etc. when talking to previously mentioned sister.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 6h Replying to @speedster89 stop knowing me so well, Allen.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 6h Replying to @speedster89 @Iris_WestAllen I maybe sorta kinda just once mentioned his …. package?

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 6h Replying to @speedster89 @Iris_WestAllen I KNOW GUYS. I KNOW.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 6h Replying to @speedster89 @Iris_WestAllen no, his sister just laughed a little? Or more like smirked. And his eyes got really wide like a cartoon and then he just shook his head and smiled at me.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 6h Replying to @speedster89 @Iris_WestAllen don’t know. I ran out of there as fast as possible afterward. Took a detour through accounts payable and customer service just to be safe.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 6h OH SHIT

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 6h Apparently, The Husband’s sister knows where the IT Department is…

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 6h Is it bad that I hid under my desk to avoid her?

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 6h Replying to @speedster89 I have no idea what she wanted Barry, obviously, unless she wants to file a complaint against me???????

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 6h Replying to @speedster89 one would assume, but I don’t knowwwww maybe she wanted to tell me about the complaint first? Look the accused in the eyes or whatever.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 6h Replying to @speedster89 remember how we’ve been over that it’s invalidating when you tell me I’m being crazy and your refusal to acknowledge my anxiety is hurtful?

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 6h Replying to @speedster89 apology accepted. Now, do I report myself to HR before or after my Future Sister-In-Law has the chance?

Thursday, November 29, 2012

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 3h Today The Husband called me “remarkable” and I had to refrain from asking him if he’d prefer Bali or Aruba for our honeymoon.

Friday, November 30, 2012

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 5h The world has ended.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 5h Replying to @speedster89 my boss just apologized for making me miss my train on Thanksgiving????

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddes 5h Replying to @speedster89 not in those words exactly, but something about being sorry I had to work late to cover for him??????????? Said he was “informed” but not by who… whaaaaaatt

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 5h Replying to @speedster89 I told you: The. World. Has. Ended. He also approved 2 days of comp time to use whenever I want???!!!???

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 5h Poll: Am I actually being fired and they’re letting me down easy? Yes: 70% No: 30%

Monday, December 3, 2012

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddes 7h Secret Snowflake drawing at the office this morning has yielded Muriel, purveyor of the Secretarial Arts in the department of Distribution and Receiving, 9th Floor.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 5h Replying to @speedster89 seeing as Muriel is 8 years past retirement and thinks faxing is “new fangled,” I think we’re safe with her not using twitter.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 5h Unless my one new follower is Muriel, in which case sorry to spoil your Snowflake surprise: it’s a personalized coffee mug I just ordered from Etsy. Chag Sameach!

Tuesday, December 4, 2012

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 3h Things I Have Learned About The Husband, Volume 5: His bodyguard has arms the size of bowling balls.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 3h Things I Have Learned About The Husband, Volume 6: He keeps a pair of running shoes under his desk. Apparently, he likes running.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 2h Replying to @Iris_WestAlen I had to reconnect his cables.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 2h Replying to @Iris_WestAllen NOT LIKE THAT PERV

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 2h Replying to @Iris_WestAllen yes, I was under his desk. No, he was not sitting at said desk at the time. He very politely moved to the other side of the room. I just happened to see the sneaks & asked.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 2h Replying to @Iris_WestAllen totally professional small talk.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 2h I definitely did not say “I can tell” when he said he likes to be careful about what he puts in his body.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 2h Replying to @Iris_WestAllen of course I said it. Don’t you know me well enough by now to read my sarcasm via tweet?

Friday, December 7, 2012

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 3h Uh…….?

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 3h Apparently my Secret Snowflake is really into holidays?

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 3h Replying to @speedster89 there are two wrapped gifts on my desk. A shirt box size and another small box.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 3h Replying to @speedster89 because there’s a card that says: A gift for each night. Happy Hanukkah, Felicity. Your Secret Snowflake

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 3h Replying to @speedster89 no idea. Pretty sure that’s why it’s called “Secret Snowflake.” Someone who knows me well enough to know I’m Jewish.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 3h Replying to @speedster89 honestly, not anyone I can think of at QC. I don’t exactly make many friends down here in Mordor.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 2h Replying to @speedster89 @Iris_WestAllen $25 limit but you’re supposed to give little hints throughout the month leading up to the gift exchange at the holiday party. Not that anyone ever guesses since we have 2500 employees but whatever.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 2h Replying to @speedster89 @Iris_WestAllen I made Muriel a singing Christmas card with her grandkids photos I stole off FB & sent under a fake email.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 2h Replying to @speedster89 @Iris_WestAllen I snuck up to the 7th floor break room at lunch and she was telling everyone about it. Apparently it’s a hit with her friends in Boca.

Saturday, December 8, 2012

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddes 2h Secret Snowflake gift 1: dreidel print pj pants. Super soft and adorable. Idk who you are, Snowflake, but I’m feeling comfy and festive. Toda!

Sunday, December 9, 2012

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddes 4h Ok, so… I think my Snowflake has definitely been in my office before, which is leading me to believe it might be someone in my own department.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 4h Replying to @speedster89 I never said “hate” … just, strong dislike. And not “everyone.” There’s like, 2 people who are ok and not completely incompetent.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddes 4h Secret Snowflake gift 2: Barbara Gordon funko!!!!! Oracle will find her new home at the desk of one Felicity Meghan Smoak tomorrow morning!

Monday, December 10, 2012

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddes 8h Considering there’s a tiny wrapped gift on my desk, I’m ruling out anyone in IT as I’m always here first.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 8h Replying to @speedster89 hold your horses, Allen. I’m getting to it. You’re as impatient as the Ancient Greeks in a chariot race.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 8h Secret Snowflake gift 3: A TINY EMOJI KEYCHAIN WITH GLASSES.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 8h Replying to @speedster89 @Iris_WestAllen super cute. Although, I’m pretty sure this adds up to $25 and I don’t know how I feel about my Snowflake going above the spending limit.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 7h Secret Snowflake, who are you?

Tuesday, December 11, 2012

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 9h Haven’t seen The Husband in exactly one week.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 9h Replying to @Iris_WestAllen I wasn’t implying anything. Just stating facts.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 9h Replying to @Iris_WestAllen of course I would like to see him. His face is stupid attractive, as is the rest of him.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 9h Replying to @Iris_WestAllen obviously there’s more to him than that, Iris! He’s much smarter and insightful than anyone gives him credit for, himself included.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 9h Replying to @Iris_WestAllen He loves his sister and I’m pretty sure his bodyguard is more of his friend than employee meaning he’s good to the people he cares about.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddes 9h Replying to @Iris_WestAllen And he set up a new initiative to bring manufacturing back to the Glades. He’s having the old QC warehouse remodeled. It’ll bring hundreds of jobs to the city.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 9h Replying to @Iris_WestAllen we talk sometimes, when I’m helping with his tech issues. I’ve told you nothing other people wouldn’t notice, too.

Felicity @ghostfoxgodddess 9h Replying to @Iris_WestAllen your gif choice is not appreciated.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 5h Secret Snowflake is a ninja.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 5h I was gone for literally 5 minutes and SOMEHOW A PRESENT HAS APPEARED.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 5h Secret Snowflake gift 4: a pack of red pens. Useful and handy. Smoak approved for all your correction needs.

Wednesday, December 12, 2012

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 6h The novelty has worn off. I hate mysteries. They need to be solved.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 6h Replying to @speedster89 @Iris_WestAllen SECRET SNOWFLAKE SENT AN INTERN WITH MY LUNCH ORDER. AND IT WAS CORRECT. 100% CORRECT.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddes 6h Replying to @speedster89 @Iris_WestAllen EVEN WITH SUBBING ITALIAN DRESSING ON MY CAESAR SALAD INSTEAD OF CAESAR. HOW DID THEY KNOW THAT?????

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 6h Replying to @speedster89 @Iris_WestAllen I did not yell at the intern. I simply asked him to tell me who had sent him with my lunch.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddes 6h Replying to @speedster89 @Iris_WestAllen I was perfectly calm. Until he called me “ma’am.” And then I maybe used my loud voice.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 6h Replying to @speedster89 @ Iris_WestAllen Unclear. He started running before I could ask any more questions.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 6h Touche, Secret Snowflake. I was actually really hungry.

Thursday, December 13, 2012

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 2h OH MY GOOGLE

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddes 2h Secret Snowflake. What have you done?

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 2h Please tell me you didn’t steal this.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddes 2h Replying to @speedster89 it’s a Pebble.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 2h Replying to @speedster89 no, not like a rock Barry. Seriously?! The Pebble - it’s a wearable. Super innovative tech. Not even AVAILABLE to the public until next year.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddes 2h Forget ninja. My Secret Snowflake is likely a felon. FBI/CIA/NSA if you’re reading this tweet (of course you are), please note in my file: I DO NOT CONDONE THEFT.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 1h This thing is so cool.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddes 1h And by “cool” I meant “hopefully not stolen.”

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddes 20m Replying to @Iris_WestAllen it would cost a small fortune even for a prototype. The kickstarter was set at 150k.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 18m Replying to @Iris_WestAllen someone with a lot of money/connections or a felon. That’s it.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddes 17m Replying to @Iris_WestAllen I don’t know any felons.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddes 16m Replying to @Iris_WestAllen to paraphrase @speedster89 you’re cray cray

Friday, December 14, 2012

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 3h Almost quitting time and no Secret Snowflake. Idk if I’m disappointed or relieved.

Later that evening…

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 1h When the doorbell rings and you think it’s the take-out dim sum you ordered arriving early and it’s actually a note & bottle of red Chateau Lafite Rothschild 1982…

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 1h I’m having a crisis.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 1h Replying to @speedster89 I’m well aware of that, Barry. It’s not just expensive. It’s…frack.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 57m Replying to @speedster89 @Iris_WestAllen I might have mentioned to a certain someone that this particular vintage would be a nice engagement gift for a certain someone’s mother and future step-father.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 56m Replying to @speedster89 @Iris_WestAllen and maybe that certain someone promised a bottle in return for excessive IT support far below her paygrade and skill level that was declined because HELLO EXPENSIVE.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 55m I can’t believe you did all of this.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddes 54m For me.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 53m Replying to Iris_WestAllen yes, I think you were right. Are you happy to hear that now?

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 48m Replying to Iris_WestAllen Thank you. I will try and remember that. You are also amazing and beautiful and badass.

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 10m Secret Snowflake, if you are who I think you might be… then, yes. I’ll be happy to meet you tomorrow night at the holiday party.

December 31, 2014

Felicity @ghostfoxgoddess 10m When The Husband becomes The Fiance…

Oliver @RobinOfLocksley9m Replying to @ghostfoxgoddess I love you.

Thea @QueenofHearts 8m Replying to @ghostfoxgoddess @RobinOfLocksley see what happens when you let me snoop? BOOM. Legitimate Wifey status.

Oliver @RobinOfLocksley Replying to @ghostfoxgoddess @QueenofHearts this is the only time your scheming has ever worked out.

Thea @QueenofHearts Replying to @ghostfoxgoddess @RobinOfLocksley only takes once, brother dear.

Barry @speedster89 Replying to @ghostfoxgoddess @RobinOfLocksley @QueenofHearts told you he’d see your twitter….

[5hfanfiction]

Signing Off - Chapter 19

A/N: Omg hi, it’s a year later and i’m sorry I abandoned y’all (like C did to 5h but that’s not the point) Oh shit? do you hear that? That’s the sound of C stans or ot5 fans clicking off this fic right about now. Ah… shit. Imma shut up now and let y’all read this update, it took a year to pump out and it’s absolute shit so my apologies. Camila’s POV I sat on the idea of accepting the role for this movie for a few days. The thought of Lauren and Normani having a rather close relationship still lingered in my brain. I knew they were only friends but how much closer could they get if I weren’t in the picture? I knew Lauren wouldn’t betray me like that but I had always been a jealous person. No matter how much I tried, my jealousy would always get the best of me. My instincts tell me to hurt them before they hurt me but I didn’t want to hurt Lauren. More importantly, I didn’t want to lose her either. I knew I probably should’ve been more communicable with Lauren about my uneasiness but I also didn’t want Lauren to think I didn’t trust her. Because I did trust her, I still do, it’s myself that I didn’t trust. I took the role. I had called Roger a little less than a week after my date with Lauren. He was very excited that I gave him a call and he started to finalize all of the details for the film. My days with Lauren were dwindling so we had decided to spend every waking moment with each other. We cooked together, we read together, we did everything together and it just felt so domestic, I was going to miss that. Lauren and I had a date every few days. Most of the time, it was just us going to grab some fast food or a slushee but I still considered them dates as long as I was with her. “Good morning.” My girlfriend whispered in my ear as I stirred awake. “Morning.” I mumbled, turning around to face her. “You leave tonight.” The green eyed beauty pouted. I chuckled, “Who needs a calendar when you can have a Lauren Jauregui.” “Not everyone can have a Lauren Jauregui.” My girlfriend joked back. There was a short silence that followed our short banter. “I’ll miss you.” I said, tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear. “Finally! I’ll be free of you! I needed a break from having you around me 24/7.” She joked before relenting after I gave her a pointed look. “I’ll miss you too, babe. We’ll FaceTime almost everyday though, right?” I gave her a tight lipped smile, “I’ll try to.” “When do you get to come home again?” The other YouTuber asked, breaking our eye contact and beginning to trace a light pattern on my hand with her thumb. “I don’t know.” I sighed. “Roger said that we’re predicted to be done by March” The green eyed girl stayed silent for a moment. "Do you know how long you’ll be filming for?” “About three months.” I answered. When Lauren didn’t reply I decided to change the subject slightly, feeling guilty that I had been withholding it from her. “My ex-girlfriend is playing my love interest.” “Oh.” The other YouTuber gulped. “Why did you guys break up?” “It was a mutual decision, honestly. We grew apart and had different aspirations in life. She had a role on Broadway so she had always been off in rehearsals or parties with her cast mates. I didn’t mind since I threw myself into my YouTube career. I had photoshoots and meetings to distract myself from missing her.” I explained. “I didn’t know you had an ex-girlfriend.” Lauren responded. I shrugged, “Our relationship was private for the most part, I never really posted pictures with her nor was she ever in any of my videos.” “How long have you known about her being in the film too?” Lauren insecurely asked. “Since the day after our date.” I truthfully told her and I immediately saw her look away. “I didn’t think it was that big of a deal.” “You still should’ve told me.” I could sense a little insecurity in her voice. “You don’t still have feelings for her… right?” She hesitantly asked. “Laur, look at me.” I requested. When she complied I continued, “She was my first love, so I’ll always love her. But that doesn’t matter because i’m not in love with her, I’m in love with you.” I softly kissed her lips to reassure her. “Please never forget that.” I whispered when I pulled back. After a long pause, my girlfriend finally responded. “Okay. I trust you.” I smiled and searched her eyes for any hint of doubt, but I didn’t see any. “Okay. Can we get breakfast now? I’m starving.” “Sure, babe, I’ll be the chef and put together an exquisite meal for you.” My girlfriend yelled while jumping up from the bed and running towards the kitchen. I shook my head at her antics and took my time washing up. When I finally sauntered in the kitchen I saw Lauren sitting at the table, phone in hand, munching on a bowl of cereal. “What took you so long? Your cereal is probably soggy by now.” She said with her cheeks full of cereal. “A bowl of soggy cereal is your supposed exquisite meal?” I laughed examining the floppy Frosted Flakes in my bowl. “Yep! Just call me Chef Lauren! Gordon Ramsey who?” She beamed. I laughed, “You’re such an idiot.” “But I’m your idiot.” We sat in a comfortable silence. Lauren was preoccupied with something on her phone while I quietly ate my cereal. It was times like these that I’d miss most, times where we’d sit in comfortable silence but one of us would crack a joke and we wouldn’t even have to be touching but I’d still feel close to her. I continued to eat my soggy cereal while toying with the promise ring that Lauren had given to me in Rome and smiled. “I love Lauren Jauregui” I thought to myself. This movie shoot is one small bump in the road of Lauren and I’s relationship together. Lauren’s POV I’m not going to lie, the fact that Camila was going to be on the other side of the planet to me with her ex-girlfriend scared me shitless. Even though she had spent the past few weeks reassuring me that there would be nothing going on with them, I was still skeptical about her being her love interest. I mean that means they’re gonna have to kiss and stuff right? What if there’s a sex scene? They’d be naked together! However, I trust Camila. If she said there’d be nothing between them, I believe her. I looked at my girlfriend across the table, eating my soggy masterpiece in bliss before leaning over to kiss her temple quickly. “What was that for?” The brunette YouTuber asked, beaming at me. “Nothing, I just love you and I’m going to miss you.” I replied contentedly. “I’ll miss you too, my love.” She responded, entwining our hands over the dining table. *** “Babe, your flight leaves in an hour and a half, let’s go!” I called from the front door of my girlfriend’s house. “One second!” Camila called out from upstairs, tripping over her luggage as she sprinted to grab the remaining clothes she had yet to pack. “You said one second like 10 minutes ago, Camz.” I chuckled, walking through the door of her bedroom just in time to witness my girlfriend trying to shove the clothes into her luggage. “I was going to pack sooner but I passed out after you insisted on going three more rounds!” The petite Cuban defensively said. I smirked, “It’s not my fault you can’t keep up.” “My stupid Mario Kart dude wouldn’t go any faster! And he was like a banana magnet!” She huffed, frustrated her luggage won’t close and how I had brought up our Mario Kart tournament. “I kept trying to avoid them but he always found a way back to them.” “Right… blame the character, not the driver.” I winked before moving to shut the luggage with ease. “I’m gonna put this in the car, you finish grabbing everything else, okay babe?” I loaded my girlfriend’s luggage into the car and waited patiently, drumming my fingers on the steering wheel. Minutes later, she came out bringing her purse and a small bag. “Ready to go?” I asked, intertwining our hands in her lap. “Sadly, yes, I am.” She sighed. “Alright,” I stopped to check my imaginary watch, “We’ve got an hour and 15 minutes to get you there and on that plane! And with LA traffic, you’ll be there with plenty of time to spare!” I said sarcastically. “Yeah, yeah, shut up and drive.” My girlfriend demanded, rolling her eyes. We made it to LAX with about 45 minutes to spare. I went with her throughout the airport til about as far as I could go, but by now we were both crying. “Goodbye, my love.” I choked out, looking like a blubbering mess. We embraced each other in a gut crushing hug. “I love you so much. I’ll call you whenever I can.” The petite brunette mumbled through her tears. “Final boarding call for Flight 1218 to Rome.” We heard a flight attendant announce over the intercom. I proceeded to passionately crash my lips against my girlfriend’s. I never wanted it to end. This would be the last kiss that I get from my girlfriend for who knows how long? The kiss tasted like her chapstick mixed with the saltiness from our tears. Camila began to walk away, our hands still intertwined. I decided to yank her back and kiss her once more. In this kiss, however, I snuck my tongue in there, making both of our knees go weak and a tingling between my thighs. “Now you can go.” I said, pulling away before things got more heated. “I love you, have a safe flight!” I watched my girlfriend enter the gate and my heart sank a little. I quickly took my phone out and sent a text. To: Camz I miss you already. I then took my time wandering back to my car. I hadn’t spent more than a day without Camila, I didn’t know how I’d do with three months.

Sten Hugo Hiller - 627184: Mecha Combat #949 - December 3345 Missile Command

(By Sten Hugo Hiller - 627184) Mountain Climbing Mecha Combat #949

Brought to you by ANN

Highlighting the December 3345 Missile Command

When I saw how the divisions was set up for the Missile Command I did not know what was the proper reaction. Crying? Laughing? Swearing? I really wish the gaming authorities would give a bit more attention to how the divisions are set up. Here we had two narrow divisions, K11 from lvl 13-15 and K9 from lvl 25-30. Mount Olympus on the other hand covered a span of 163 levels, more than the whole span for K12 up to and including K3.

I was not supposed to enter the event. Medical conditions had me officially on inactive status. But as most of the Star League had signed up and were away, I figured getting the formation to the mountain and signing up while they were busy would be overlooked.

What I had forgotten was that while my formation was weapon specialized, it was configured for an Ice event. A couple lost attacks brought this to my attention, and the question was whether I had time to get back to the compound and have Bruno whip me up another formation.

It turned out I didnt. When I returned to the arena the event had ended. But my holding crew had at least gotten enough footage for me to see the winners this time had been:

Div 1 240+ (38 Commanders): Bernard Johnson, Warlock (5s) 2: Fabio Favaro 3: Jeff Haas 4: Dexter Berry 5: Terry Cole 6: Ben Rail 7: Jaime Beltran 8: David Buchanan 9: Gary Muenzel 10: Sal Vezzosi Jr Div 2 -239 (18 Commanders): James Waddington, B.o.A.D. (18h,15m) Div 3 -160 (15 Commanders): Spike Shepard, T.B. BlackWatch (3m,1s) Div 4 -121 (14 Commanders): Brian Wilson, Smurf Platoon (16m,47s) Div 5 -94 (25 Commanders): Edmund Dantes, Steampunk Dragons (8h,49m) Div 6 -75 (30 Commanders): notwillard, Ronins (1d,4h) Div 7 -60 (17 Commanders): Mike Andrews, Renegades (1d,10h) Div 8 -47 (19 Commanders): Kyle Mardon, Arctic Warfare Bandits (1d,5h) Div 9 -31 (9 Commanders): bryn35, MurderMechs (1d,14h) Div 10 -25 (19 Commanders): Jeffery Dinkel, *R.V.* (7m,46s) Div 11 -16 (15 Commanders): kabuto, alternatif (1d,5h) Div 12 -13 (15 Commanders): Iain Bryce, *R.V 2.0* (1d,14h)

Total Contestants: 234 Total medals claimed: 173 (of 180 possible)

Compared to the previous, Quadruple Rainbow, event we saw an influx of thirty-one additional fighting Commanders. The imbalance between the divisions was not to bad either, exept on K9 where the regular curse struck. Still, the three smallest divisions combined had the same number of contestants as the biggest had alone. As a result, seven Bronzes from two tops ended up unclaimed and were returned for resmelting.

The last half-hour saw four Golds changing hands at least once, one in the last handful of seconds. The other eight were all held for at least two hours, six of them for more than a day. So at least most of the winners seem to have had an overwhelming strenght, but how was the struggle for the lesser prizes? To find out we cast a glance at the number of medals held for more than 30 minutes in this event:

.............Silvers......Bronzes Div 1 ....1 of 4.........8 of 10 Div 2 ....4 of 4.......10 of 10 Div 3 ....2 of 4.......10 of 10 Div 4 ....2 of 4.........9 of 9 Div 5 ....4 of 4.........8 of 10 Div 6 ....4 of 4.......10 of 10 Div 7 ....4 of 4.......10 of 10 Div 8 ....2 of 4.......10 of 10 Div 9 ....4 of 4.........4 of 4 Div 10 ..3 of 4.........9 of 10 Div 11 ..2 of 4.......10 of 10 Div 12 ..4 of 4.......10 of 10

On five of the tops no successfull medal attacks took place, and only a total of nineteen medals got new holders. So either most of the Commanders was out of communication, or the strenght disparity was pretty severe all over.

No single clan managed to get more than one Gold in this event. No unaligned Commanders rose to the top, neither did any of the QR winners get a follow-up Gold.

Upcoming event: Selfsame

In this event a Commander is only allowed to use one model of Mechs, -but chooses what model himself. The way this works is to put one of the selected models in the Point Mech position (uppermost, rightmost)

Event ends April 5 between 2200 and 2230 New York Time

The weekend that took a steep nosedive in quality

So, this past weekend me and Natali went to Cluny, a town of about 2000 that is located 50 minutes (by car) southeast of Montceau-Les-Mines.

For future reference: 50 minutes by car, 2 hours by bus (if you take a good bus route). This is because there’s a main highway between Montceau and Chalon, so you have to go to Chalon and then get on the bus destined for Mâcon and get off in Cluny. On a Sunday, where there are limited buses running and you’re required to take both buses and trains, it’s more like 4 hours. Small town France is great.

We stayed with a super nice guy who is a student at the Paristech campus located in the town. This campus is well-known for its’ student society called Les Gadz’arts which all students are a part of. When we arrived on the bus, our host and his classmate arrived to take us to the mini Festival of Lights being held that night in the town, rocking long grey jackets (imagine a lab coat but gray). They explained to us that everyone starts our with the same jacket, and in first year they put a nickname on the back. In second year, they’re allowed to personalize it. We met tons of students who were all super nice and invited us to a soirée (basically a party) later on in the evening. We hung out at our host’s place for a couple hours, playing Jenga and cards, and then got ready to head back to the campus where all the first year students live and the location of the party. Before leaving, he lent us each a jacket that had been left there by students who had dropped out or moved away. Apparently if we hadn’t been wearing them, we wouldn’t have been allowed in.

It was incredibly cool and made me realize Canadian universities need to step up their society game - it’s all student-run and they host all kinds of events and activities to really build camaraderie between the group members. They have multiple bars in their campus common areas where a pint of beer cost €2, so naturally I was in my element and had a great night drinking my fav beverage and talking with people my age.

Saturday, we ate at a restaurant called Québec Burger which sadly was lacking in poutine, but did have a road sign with a Moose on it (yay Canada). 

I was mildly hungover (my tolerance has gone way down since leaving PEI… surprise surprise) so I was pretty ready to head back to Montceau-les-Mines and spend all day Sunday watching Christmas movies. One of the guys we met the night before was headed to Lyon for the Fête des Lumières (Festival of Lights) for the evening on Saturday and offered us seats in his car, but I didn’t have much desire to go - I heard that the crowds were always huge, and quite frankly I’m just ready to be at home with my family over Christmas. Strasbourg the weekend before was enough excitement and sightseeing for me for awhile. Instead of making the 3-hour bus journey back, I booked a rideshare that was set to leave at 4:30 on Saturday. Unfortunately, it fell through too late to catch the last bus so I would be staying in Cluny another night. I figured since I was there anyway, I might as well go to Lyon. Nothing to lose, right?

Timeline:

18h: Leave Cluny

19h: Arrive in a suburb of Lyon. Park in a parkade and take the metro to the city centre.

19h20-23h: Walk around Lyon, take in light shows, eat kebabs/tacos, etc.

23h-00h30: Find a bar, warm up, drink beer

00h30: get to metro station, wait 25 minutes for it to arrive.

00h55: Get on the metro, get to station where we need to transfer to the line that takes us to the parkade, realize we’ve missed the last metro and now it’s all closed for the night and the police are kicking us out of the station.

1h00: map the walk, see that it’s 3.5 km, will take 40 minutes, and involves climbing the gigantic hill in the middle of Lyon. Attempt to get an Uber or taxi.

1h10: Give up on getting ahold of anyone and walk to the parkade.

2h: Realize the parkade is locked. With the car inside. The guard pulls up and tells us to come back at 4h30 and it will open.

2h-4h30: Hang out on a train platform attempting to stay warm via walking, running, dancing, singing, playing would you rather, and sharing our best stories.

4h30: return to the parkade. The same man returns to tell us that, in fact, the parkade will reopen MONDAY morning at 4h30. As if this wasn’t already a shitty situation, he was really rude about explaining the whole thing and offered zero sympathy. Canadians need to teach the French some customer service skills. Thanks for nothing sir. We wait until the metro opens at 5am.

5h: Get the first metro into the main train station: Lyon Part Dieu. Buy train tickets for the first bus to Mâcon (7h15).

6h: We’re all sitting in a waiting area, freezing our butts off. A pigeon shits on one of the guys. Why are train stations so cold? Why are the pigeons so gigantic and eager to poop on people down in their luck? We’re we not already miserable enough?

7h15: Get on the train.

8h: Arrive in Mâcon, where supposedly there is an 8h30 bus heading to Cluny.

9h25: The bus to Cluny finally arrives. It is apparently the first day of a new bus schedule. The first time it has changed in 10 years. Lucky us.

10h: Arrive in Cluny. We had asked our couchsurfing host to bring our backpacks right to the bus stop so we could grab them and continue on our way to get back home, since the bus we were on was en route to Chalon. Unfortunately, he didn’t get there in time so we had to get off. The only other bus route that day was at 13h30 and would take 3 hours and 50 minutes because there is such limited bus service on Sundays in France. We looked at rideshares and there was three at 16h, 18h and 19h so we opt to sleep for the afternoon and get one of those. 

16h: One after another, all three of those options fall through, obviously after we’ve missed the only other bus.

17h: By this point, we are desperate. I am so overtired, I keep laughing uncontrollably at things that really weren’t that funny. I packed for an overnight trip and have been wearing the same pants 3 days straight. We cannot bear the thought of staying another night and getting the first bus in the morning. My body is absolutely yearning to be showered, in my pyjamas, tucked into my own (albeit mediocre) bed. Out of desperation, I ask the guy I have gone out with a couple times (but haven’t seen for awhile) if he would be willing to add two hours to his own journey back to school in Chalon-sur-Saone after a weekend at his parents house to drive us home. He agrees. I am forever indebted to him.

18h: WE FINALLY MAKE IT HOME. I HATE FRANCE ON SUNDAYS, EVERYTHING IS INCREDIBLY INCONVENIENT.

The takeaways from this tale: We were all very grateful at everyones’ attitudes, there was no angry or sad outbursts, and we managed to laugh at the whole ordeal. I’m not sure about the poor guy who had to abandon his car in Lyon for the day (who happened to also be the one who got shit on) but overall it could have been much worse. The temperature was just below 0 degrees so (for me at least) the cold was very manageable. Never again will I take my uncomfortable mattress and too-hot apartment for granted!!

0247_27_11_2017

A busy week, eh. On Tue and Thu didn’t go to college to stay home to study for the midterm on Friday. Studied for 3-5h daily. Didn’t play FNBR for 3 days. As I viewed the preparation exam for Friday I thought I was going to get 3 marks out of 26... Got to the exam, seen the problems and did my best and for the third time in this semester, left the classroom first. Wrote what I knew and left. I thought it was gonna be great, maybe I was too hyped up because it was better than expected, the problems were similar to ones in homework exercises. Got the results today, 9/26. I’m going to see where I failed tommorrow. After the exam, we went to drink a beer, got home by bus (couldn’t sleep for shit in it), went home, ate something (grandma’s home, she wasn’t here for like 1/2 a year+), went to see I, then went to drink a beer with B, got home, played FNBR. Slept 12h. Ate, played some FNBR, went to P, we smoked some cigs, he told me N and B are at B’s place, I get there and N’s going home for some reason, tells me ‘Go in, B’s inside’. I went and B’s already kinda drunk :D so we chitchat until N comes back. N got a Traktor controller so I messed around with it for a bit. T came. We were drinking brandy with Coke, chilling, they’ve lit up a joint and done 3 lines, I wouldn’t, thanked for the offer tho. :D We played Man’s not hot on YT and N got shirtless for the people on Chatroulette, had some fun for 10 minutes. B gave me some Skullcandy headphones after he told me to get them from his house which I did, and before I left he gave me an olive leather jacket, telling me he’s looking bad with it since he always wears it with a tracksuit haha. He was a bit friendly aggresive when we were drinking, talking bullshit like ‘I can buy this town’ etc. :D I got home, took a shower, already a bit buzzed up from the brandy but hyped the fuck up from it too, I felt great. Mum drove me to L, the place we go out to and where I went to high school, flatmate was there and we went to buy cigs in the casino. Went to Rock, got a beer immediately, I got in not seeing anyone. Then I proceeded to handshake with most people there and went to a table, listened to some music, chugged some beer and then went out. R was there. I got to her and told her hey, she said me to sit down, which I did. We were talking for 15-20 minutes when she tells me she needs to use the bathroom, I was waiting outside. Her friend which came from Norway only for this weekend comes to me outside and tells me ‘Listen, I’m here for only 5 days and I want R all the time with me.’ I said OK and went with her to their table. R was mostly looking at her phone (idk if she has a BF, didn’t even care as I shouldn’t) so I drank a beer with them and flatmate and I left to A. We got in and in a matter of 2-3 minutes, I had 2 drinks in my hands. At the time, I was already pretty tipsy. So after a few songs, we went out. At some point in time, M joined us. He’s a good guy but hell, can he talk too much. But it’s OK. All of a sudden, a girl comes out, obviously drunk (blonde, cute and with a nice body) and starts flirting with all 3 of us simultaneously. After 5 minutes, I take her by her hand and we go behind a corner, as I tried to kiss her, she said ‘My mum will come any second’ and I didn’t kiss her and she left. I told my flatmate she was there just for attention (which was obvious) and he was excusing her in some way and I told him he’s stupid. He’s so fucking bluepilled. So he tells me I’m retarded and laughs at me and I start walking home. K noticed me in the town center, so he offers me a ride home which I gladly accept. Got home, ate something and went to sleep. Got up at 3 PM, drunk af, since I drank like 0,2L of brandy, 3 or 4 beers and then some Stock. Mixing is always a bad idea. :D So I lied on the couch for 2 more hours (even we had lamb and potatoes in the oven for lunch) and then I got up, ate and played some solo FNBR. I had no cigs so I asked NB is he still at work, he replies positively and I ask him to buy cigs for me at the gas station, he agrees and invites me over to his place. He’s in the street under mine in 20 mins, and we go to his place. We watched Juventus’s match and some sports, chilled for a bit, ate some pizza, he went to smoke a joint in his basement and I got a bit high only from the smoke :D We had some good laughs about me singing a song with reversed lyrics in the elementary school. He gave me like 6 or 7 long sleeve shirts, which I almost needed anyway, so I was really grateful. Around 23, he drove me back home and then I went to see I. We talked a bit about everything, got home, played some FNBR and now I’m off to sleep. I’m feeling OK, just a bit tired. Oh yeah, and I’ve started training at home again! Did since Mon to Thu, had to stop for a few days since I had no more power in my muscles. Good night!

Sten Hugo Hiller - Holmes Havoc Including interview with Kyra Mainer (#672650)

Mountain Climbing Mecha Combat

Brought to you by ANN, A News channell for Mecha Combat

Highlighting the July 3326 Holmes Havoc

Including interview with Kyra Mainer (#672650)

Holmes on K2. I wondered if I should bother, The normal grades to join up was way above mine. But I had gotten special invitations, so I could sneak over and take a look. The worst that could happen was I ended up getting nothing, but I might get a Bronze if I was lucky. Bruno had my Holmes formation ready, two Novum scouts to keep over watch and see ahead was attached as usual. Arriving early at the mountain I parked at the top so my crew could enjoy the view. I had to return to the compound to keep abreast of the paperwork.

When I came back to the mountain slightly over two hours before scramble my crew hung grimly to the slopes. How had they accomplished such a feat? Most of the competition had twice or even three times my mass! Then it dawned on me, they were still in their main formations. In fact there were just 3 of us who had gotten into formation yet. xZydrex from Defenders of Bunny had less than a quarter of my tonnage. But Melissa Powell from HF: Mecha Pirates was another story. She held the top and had 38 grades, 265 ton and 7 mechs on me. The job seemed impossible, but just for laughs I launched some attacks. They weren’t effective, but I had nothing else to do. Opening my supers I continued. If I couldn’t budge her, having supers to do so later was meaningless. My 23rd attack went through her defenses, and I settled on the top. I admired the view, but expected the opponents to start changing into correct formations and blow me off the top any moment. I kept expecting that right up to when the light flashed and it was over. Those who was at the tops when it ended, and received Gold, Nephilax and invitations to harder climbs were:

Div 1 (26 players): Bernard Johnson, Juggernaut (23m,53s) Div 2 (13 players): Sten Hugo Hiller, Star League (2h,34m) Div 3 (25 players): Able Hunter, Star League (1m,11s) Div 4 (27 players): Kyra Mainer, Defenders of Bunny (3h,15m) Div 5 (17 players): Darryl Proctor, Red Comet (46m,5s) Div 6 (26 players): Yusuke Paul Okabayashi (5h,53m) Div 7 (18 players): Ila Mari Anthonsen, today and tomorrow (24m,52s) Div 8 (29 players): Paul Michael, Renegades (33m,14s) Div 9 (15 players): Stug Hill, Behemot (43m,50s) Div 10 (12 players): Borg Queen, Summer Break (5h,21m) Div 11 (13 players): WaspIIC, Hammer`s Stallions (2h,57m) Div 12 (26 players): Jordan Belifart (1h,20m)

Total Participants: 247, Total Medals: 173 (of 180 possible)

3+9(2s)+4+3+6(1s)+0+9+0+2+2+0+0=35 Bronzes and 3 Silvers went to players who had at least point mech overweight. Total Participation was reduced by 22 since the 20 ton, and 7 Bronzes were sent for resmelting.

My timepiece showed 28 elapsed minutes when the light flashed. Only three Gold medals changed ownership during that time, although the Div 3 Gold changed hands plenty of times between Colin Toenjes (Heroes) and Able Hunter. Five of the Gold’s were held for over two hours. We had two unaligned winners this time; Yusuke Paul Okabayashi in div 6 and Jordan Belfart in div 12. Only clan to claim two Gold this time were Star League. Sten Hugo Hiller and Ila Mari Anthonsen repeated their Gold performances from the 20 ton.

I was elated. When a teammate wins, the odds of getting an interview is much better But as I started to make my way over to Able to get a blow by blow account of his epic struggle vs Toenjes, perhaps even a glimpse at the Battle ROMs, I was blocked. Normally I am not that easy to intimidate, but the looks I got from the gang made me wonder if I should worry. One of them gave a signal to follow and the rest fell into a circle around me and forced me to come along.  I knew who they were, anyone in my business knows the Ten Who Were Taken. But why their mistress, Kyra Mainer, wanted me was unknown.  Perhaps she wanted me to pull out Boris and Keikko while she still had a lab? Then she better talk to her dad, contract was his to cancel.

But it turned out to be another purpose. The mysterious Lady of pain had decided to give me an interview. I quickly reviewed what I knew. First appearance in the Climbs in `77, First Gold In the Triple Rainbow Baconary `89, this was the sixth triumph. Been with Defenders of Bunny for all the time, one Gold and plenty of Silvers there.

Sten Hugo Hiller  Congrats on the win in the KOTM. Is it the sixth win?

Kyra Mainer  This is just my sixth

Sten Hugo Hiller  Your first medal was in the laser Chrono in march `77. Are Chronos something you prefer, or are you of the once a year is too often crowd?

Kyra Mainer  I Like the limited Chronos, you know like rainbows. That way you can make up with preserverance and focus what you lack in raw niode power. Unlimited you just can`t beat the spenders, because they don’t have to choose between being in their KOTM formation or their main. But Chronos get old in a hurry though, like Marathons. You don’t run a bunch of them in a row

Sten Hugo Hiller  I get your drift. Your first Gold was in Triple Rainbow, are they a favorite of yours?

Kyra Mainer  I used to love the Rainbow style, but as my base got bigger my tonnage got smaller compared to the spenders

Sten Hugo Hiller  General problem for us poor folks. When it comes to limited, do you prefer Mecht ype like this event, or tonnage like in the 20 ton we just had?

Kyra Mainer  I like the Holmes Havoc and iMech tournaments because they allow those of us without a ton of Niodemechs to get competitive. So Mechtype where you take the bought Beasties away and let the Warriors fight on even terms. I like war because you have to combine unlimited and specialists, but I can’t compete unlimited With many Warriors at my grade who have all Niodemechs. You need to level the field somewhat. I have been adopted by two Novum, and they helped my Holmes lineup here. But the limit was two non Holmes and some used heavier machines.

Sten Hugo Hiller  Novums are called the best mechs ton for ton, I think that is grossly underestimating them. If you were to design a new KOTM, what would Your favorite be?

Kyra Mainer  I would love to see an Icecapades. All except two freons, and no Mechs over 70 ton. Like the upcoming Ratman, but With less blowing yourself up. Seventies tend to be ruled by Niodes, so why not do a Crystal Version?

Sten Hugo Hiller  Sounds great. From your mouth to the Developers ears. Were you in the Metaverse, and how did you do at the Birthday party?

Kyra Mainer  I was not wary lucky during the Birthday party, and After hearing the rest of the family swearing about the bugs in the Metaverse. Tipping point for me was no snackbar, life is too short to manually return every gift. I love that return all button. I mean, games should be play, not work. Oh, and the Equipment was kind of bunk. I had a look at what was offered, and the crystal stuff was missing some of the best cheap options. Kind of like this universe, just favoring spenders even more.

Sten Hugo Hiller  Yes, took a lot of work to get anything in the Metaverse. How are you set up for resorces when it comes to upgrading. Affluent or in desperate need of MOAR?

Kyra Mainer  I am ok for basic upgrades, but getting the niodes to equip bigger Mechs are hard. To be fully competitive you need the big machines, but the gear is stupidly expensive. They need a lot of it, and perform so poorly using Crystal that it seem the Developers want the gap between spenders and free players to Widen as you rise. It’s OK, it’s their game, but it limits the amount I play outside of war. I don’t want to be a big and thin high-level pushovers. I don`t want to camp either, if I don’t play regular I will probably just find something else.

Sten Hugo Hiller  Got to look at what you have. In many cases a good 70-75 tonner can defeat a not so good 85-100 tonner. You have been around almost as long as me. What advice would you give to green Warriors just joining up?

Kyra Mainer  Grind through the campers! Seriously, there is a hump you have to get past of the ten thousand faces of Bob Goetz, and the old RND crowd. The alts having all the Niode Machines. Once you hit that wall, you think you are done, but if you keep leveling at a reasonable pace you rejoin actual players, With only a few camping trolls to worry about. Play KOTM, fight in the wars, watch for the days when your Crystal weapons outpace your niode ones, then cash in big. Turn your Liquid Torches into equipment to make one Mech at a time into a champion Machine

Sten Hugo Hiller  Good advice, but I was thinking more along the lines of favorite Mechs, Weapons and Equipment

Kyra Mainer  Crystal mech, look for ammonite; good Critical killer and critkill is what allows Crystal David to take out Niode Goliath, You can’t outpunch them, so out snipe them instead. Use freeze and Critkill to stop them from shooting back or even shooting at all. Don’t try to damage stack against all Niode enemies, they are going to beat you all the time.

Sten Hugo Hiller  Sound advice. Do you have anything else to add?

Kyra Mainer  Yes. I have seen some of our newer clan mates do this mistake, because you can get away with it at lower grades, but it hurts when you get higher. If the cockpit don’t have a good precision, sell it. I don’t care what else it does, if you can’t hit, all it does is Waste a cockpit slot you could use for something that help you hit opponents

Sten Hugo Hiller  Again essential advice. Thank you for the time and have a nice celebration. Oh, you probably know already, but don’t let Boris and Keikko give you any of their Hard Liquor.

Kyra Mainer  No Kidding!! Do they even have blood in their alcohol supply?

Sten Hugo Hiller  Never been measured to less than 68% blood

Kyra Mainer  Good thing Mechs have limited self driving modes... Thanks for the interview, time to try out my new Nephilax.

She rose, and her crew surrounded her as she went for her newest prize. Any fresh winners who want to give a piece of their mind and earn a handful of Niodes can try to get in touch after the

Upcoming event: Reverse Ratman (Namtar/80ton) Again we have a split format. Consider it a max 80 ton, but in div 1-6 all but two Mechs must be Namtars. In div 7-12 you can use Namtars, but no need. Weapons and equipment is supposed to work as normal.

Event ends August 25 between 2000 and 2030 New York Time.
