Machiavellian Wc: 4.3k

A knock resonated on your door, and with his kidnapping, you half expected to see 7. You were mistaken. 6 smirked and pushed past you, before you could protest he pointed his bat at you.

“What’re you guys doing to him?” you asked, eyes flickering between it and his face. He ignored your question to smash your little intercom machine, and your jaw dropped. 

“What’re you doing?!” you sprung forward and he pushed you harshly with the bat.

“You’re little boyfriend is safe, 5 is taking care of him real well,” he winked. You scowled.

“Somehow I don’t believe that, wait also he’s not-”

“Shhh, you talk a lot,”

. . .  

You marched your living room space again and again, trying to recite your speech from memory and continuing to fail. Your cat watched you innocently from your coffee table, in the sweater your boyfriend bought him despite his insistence on the stupidity of cats in sweaters. It was an ugly little furry thing, but the material was soft, so you let it slide. 

“We as the people deserve a right to know,” you said firmly, “While we are striving and working hard only to feed into the hopeless something something capitalism something something stand up for ourselves. When I asked-” a knock threw you off, and you opened the door to reveal Yu with his little takeout bags. He smiled, hair wet from the rain and glasses askew.

“Hey- dude,” you took the bags from him, making a ‘tsk’ noise as he took off his shoes. “Do you have no sense of self preservation?” you handed him a towel.

He sniffled, “Sorry, needed to see you,” he pecked your cheek and padded to your bathroom to change out of his damp clothes. You offered him a t-shirt you’d got as a gag gift a while back, then began to unbox the food. “Could hear you from outside,” he snickered to himself. “You talk a lot,”

“What can I say, I’m good at it.” You sniffed it before you opened it, “Sushi, you really do know how to make a girl feel special,” you mused, taking it out of the brown paper bag.

“Pfft, more of a self indulgence, work has been a disaster,” he joined you, taking his suit and stuffing it into your drier, now only in shorts and a shirt that had some corny superhero on it with some stupid text. He joined you on the floor in front of your tv, giving your cat the finger before literally anything else.

“Stop! You’re teaching him bad things! Muffin this man is a bad influence,”

Yu rolled his eyes, taking a bite with his chopsticks. You started.

“So… why does work suck?”

“I’ve been having to fight tooth and nail to get a spot to talk to this fancy producer guy, all for him to blow me off for some kid who got up here because of nepotism,” he spoke between bites, sighing heavily.

“Maybe it’s for the better,” you tried and he groaned loudly. “If he’s so easily persuaded by a little cash then maybe he’s not as desirable, you said something about wanting to get to the top ethically, no?”

“But it doesn’t seem any better, this would've been huge for my career!”

“Have you tried pitching it elsewhere?”

He took off his glasses to wipe his tired eyes with his forearm, “They’re not taking me seriously anywhere. I don’t know what it is about me that screams ignorable,”

“Hey c’mon, don’t say-”

“I can be self-deprecating if I want to,” he deadpans, and you narrow your eyes. “I can’t make my mindset get me anywhere,”

“You’re right,” you shrugged and he raised an eyebrow.

“That’s it? No speech? No ‘you’re better than that’?”

“No, you’re a big boy I’m sure you know what you’re doing. Plus, your industry’s super competitive so, what would I know,” you took a particularly big bite and he smiled at your inflated cheeks.

“Yours is pretty competitive too… So tell me about that new article,”

You dropped your head on the table.

. . . 

You couldn’t help but pace at the bottom of the stairs. You couldn’t even join the group until 2 tugged on your arm. You all stood by the intercom, but your mind was clearly elsewhere until 1 touched your shoulder gently. 

“Why would they take an unconscious man?” 3 asked no one in particular.

“Maybe they’re trying to recruit him. 7 is a high number,” you reminded and a look of contemplation passed him.

“If they have him on their side… that would be really bad news. He was the only smart one out of all of us,”

“Hey,” 2 raised an eyebrow, “I’m smart,”

“Sure,” 3 nodded. “I mean, 7 seemed like a nice guy. We smoke together and stuff, he worked hard to make sure we all do well,”

“You’re close to 7 too,” 1 spoke to you directly. 

You avoided his gaze, rubbing your arm to keep yourself warm, “You could say that,” you looked up at the room, “I hope they aren’t hurting him too bad,”

“You think they’re torturing him?”

“I don’t know, but I wouldn’t be surprised,” you pursed your lips, “6 told me 5 was taking care of him,”

“Oh, then he’s in good hands,” 3 assured and nods were exchanged.

With no meal kits received, no one could really rest. Until..

“What on earth?” 2 mumbled, and you all stared up at the descending group. 

What really disturbed you, 6 had his arm around 7.

“7, are you feeling okay?” 1 asked. Your eyes lingered on the cuts he had on his face from his previous fall. The circumstances didn’t allow your proximity right now, but he looked so… helpless next to them. Innocent almost. Like a kitten amongst tigers.

Until of course, he spoke, and his disguise fell in shreds, “I’m going to announce how things will be from now on. Now we have one hundred and sixty hours, until our agreed upon end date, your goal is to maintain this number by earning twenty four hours a day,”

“What do you mean your goal?” you asked, a knit between your brows. He stared at you, eyes holding an emotion you couldn’t quite decipher. “You aren’t serious, are you?”

“What, are we supposed to earn time while you guys weasel out?” 2 asked.

“No way, 7 that isn’t it right?” 3 asked, 7 didn’t look at him.

“You can refuse if you wish, but meals won’t be provided,”

“We starve, the game ends.” 2 bit back.

“We won’t let that happen,” he replied, and what he had literally told you prior, he had turned into your own personal reality.

He briefly explained a coin system to you, have a coin every three hours you earn, use a coin to buy meal kits or water. Don’t earn time? No coins, no food, no water.

“You crazy bas-!” 2 yelled out, until a taser was aimed at her. 

“One more step and I shoot, careful, this one was made for cops,” 6 grinned, like a little kid with a lollipop.

“What did they offer you 5?” you stared at her, “What could they possibly have given you to turn your back on us?”

“She’s here as medical support,” 7 replied, and you glared at him.

“I wasn’t talking to you.” you spat back.

He raised his eyebrows and 8 giggled. 6 smirked, “Do you ever know when to back down 4?”

“5,” you pleaded. “I can understand the two-timer over there, but not you. You’re better than this. Better than them,”

“Watch it,” 

5 kept her eyes on the ground, ashamed.

No amount of bargaining could help, not the pleading words from 3, and definitely not the threat that came from 1, which landed him a kick square in the stomach. You gasped, 2 shot forward to attack 6 who immediately tased her. You sank next to her quickly, trying to figure out what to do. You pulled out the little string things from her, looking up to find 1 joining you. Your face was a mosaic of hurt, both for 2 and from 7. 6 stepped on 1’s ankle, and didn’t stop no matter how hard the man screamed. You got up to attempt to push him, but were stopped by him harshly grabbing your arm. 6 pulled you closer to him by your upper arm, and you scowled.

“If you played nice 4, I would’ve put you up here with us. But all you're good for is,” he gestured with his taser vaguely at your body, “7 told me all about it,” he smirked.

Your eyes narrowed, pooling with betrayal, humiliation, and most of all; palpable anger. 7’s eyebrows twitched slightly, almost like he too was shocked by this revelation. 6 didn’t miss the look in your eyes, shoving you back harshly. 3 made sure you didn’t fall, but the silence in the room was suffocating. You refused to meet that traitor’s eyes again.

They lined you up like lamb, staring at 7 who was explaining that you pick a game, and only the winner escaped punishment.  He picked 3 to choose the first game.

“Hide and Seek,” 7 read out loud. “But first, pick between eyes, tongue, arms, or legs,”

1 chose arms, and you were going to say tongue but 3 beat you to it. You picked legs, and 2 picked eyes.

Pulling out a very gross set of items for sexual purposes, you found out the pick was your handicap. You sighed out a profanity as 6 tied your legs together.

“No smart ass comment?” he asked, you clenched your jaw, resorting to just shaking your head. “Use your words princess,” he winked and walked away. You felt dirty.

Thus, 6 began the countdown, blasting deafening music too.

You took a few deep breaths in, and began to hop. You didn’t get far before you fell, and decided to kind of use your arms to crawl. You didn't get very far even doing that. You used the slide to stand back up and hide behind an object.

The countdown ended. From what you could hear, he caught 1 first. He didn’t scream, and somehow that was scarier. Unfortunately, you were next. A rush of white hot fear flooded your system, and you tripped prematurely.

He gave you a little grin, amused by your look of terror.

“What happened to all that fire?” he pouted theatrically, “C’mon, let me hear you scream,”

The thing striked you across the stomach first, you groaned, biting your lip to hold back a scream. The next one came to your arm, then your head. Tears singed the corners of your eyes as he hit you so often you lost count, and began seeing stars. He then stopped.

“Don’t cry,” 6 teased, leaning down to see you face to face. “You’ll win next time.”

You tried closing your eyes, to leave this nightmare while he searched for the others. You felt the burning sensation of eyes on you, and you opened yours to see 7’s in the distance. You couldn’t even find it within yourself to flip him off, or to roll your eyes. All you could muster was to whimper quietly, the pain unbearable. Though in comparison to 2, who’s screams echoed, you got off easy. 7 only held your gaze for a moment, then his vision dropped to his shoes, swallowing down a breath of air. He maneuvered himself between 6 and 2 to prevent further escalation.

3 won this game, they wrapped all your faces up in clear plastic, and tied your arms and legs, 3 spun a few times and swung. You shrunk in on yourself, but the blow never came. He hit 1, judging by the male sounding groan. 3 got the tape off of him, then held his head. You know this because 5 untied you guys. You were quickly by 1’s side.

Now for the reward, for 26 hours you’d all earn 9 coins because 7, ever the gentleman, gave a mere one extra out of gratitude.

Without discussion, you all write on a piece of paper what you want your share to be, if it goes over, you all get nothing. 

You stared blankly at the sheet of paper, you felt sick to your stomach. How could one even eat in these conditions? How could one sit here and feed into their games? You looked over to 3, who seemed to have a very similar dilemma. You opted for writing two.

You all fed the little piece of paper into the box 7 held. Everyone except 3 had written two. You received your water and meal kits, but you just chugged half of your water, then wrote a small note on one of the boxes.

‘Take the half water and meal kit 3, I have no appetite anyways. Love, 4,’

That night was brutal, and sleep didn’t come easy. Even when it did grace you, it came ridden with nightmares and your blood boiling.

The following morning, a peaceful game, twenty questions.

. . .  

“No, three left,” he smiled softly, taking a sip of the alcoholic beverage he held, uniform disheveled.

“Hmmm, god this is so hard,” you groaned, leaning back on the sofa. “Is it… in this room?”

“Yes, two left,”

“Is it…” you tapped your lip, then pointed at the keychain on the table, “This?”

He groaned loudly, nodding, “Whatever,”

. . .  

“Does it refer to an action?”

“An action… Yeah you could consider it an action,”

“Do you do it alone or as a team?”

“You can’t do it alone, you need at least two,” 8 did little bunnies with her hand.

“Is it painful or pleasant?”

“Very pleasant,” 

You scoffed out loud, tilting your head back. The look 8 gave you indicated she knew what you were thinking of, but she’s not innocent either.

“Could it be… something sexual?” 3 asked.

“This isn’t sexual. What’re you thinking of?” 8 teased, he dropped his head.

“Is it something we all know?”

“You’d be stupid not to know by now,”

“Is it… game?” 3 asked.

“Nope,”

You tried to think, but your lack of energy made your brain barely work. The look 3 gave you told you he had a plan in mind. 1 made a guess, likely to make it more obvious to 2, who guessed it right.

Like clockwork, you were all tied up, she swung and hit 3. They rushed to his aid, but even when united, your body stopped cooperating. Without food, with only just enough water, and the lack of sleep, you were nothing more than a zombie. That night, you very begrudgingly ate, picking at your food for a while to regain your energy in order to endure more assault.

A few days of this cycle repeated. Playing, getting beaten, and then eating through a nose bleed. You’d gotten hit by the bat once, and been  on the other end once as well. That night you had hit 2, and the guilt you felt ate away at you for the duration of the coming days.

When catastrophe struck, you didn’t find it in yourself to speak. The coins had gone overboard. You all stood still, no fight left to argue or flinch when 6 yelled, or 7 bargained. All you could do was watch 7 through the vacancy. Giving him a slow once over, he didn’t seem to have any signs of struggle, so probably no physical threats into this. But this reward system was his idea. What cruel person would turn on his own girlfriend? You furrowed your eyebrows, mentally kicking yourself for even referring to yourself in that way- not only were you not his girl, but you also didn’t have to be for him to not torture you. Still, no one moved. Not even when 6 offered a glistening 10 coins for whoever decided to step up.

You couldn’t take your gaze off of 5, who had her head casted down. She was diabetic, she mentioned briefly before, she couldn’t join your side because it would've killed her. You didn’t blame her, the coward next to her was the only one to point fingers at. Glasses, and yet still, he couldn’t see clearly. You wondered distantly if you could ever come back from this.

1 told everyone to stay put, 2 affirmed it, citing that nothing will change.

“After one minute, I’m sure you all understand we’ll have to resort to force,”

“You’ll have to?” you said hoarsley. “Or you want to?”

“Have to,”

You gave him an unimpressed look, and he shook the bag of coins, like you were some puppy about to play fetch with him. You clenched your jaw.

There was a standoff, a battle of dominance, a fight for superiority. Despite the clear upper hand, the upper floors were losing, because no one moved. Not a singular breath.

When the minute ended, 6 picked his bat up, and began to swing to hopefully instill fear. You all just stood there blankly. 6 offered a weapon to 7, but he shook his head, looking down.

You blacked out after 8 hit you in the back of the head with a blow that was definitely not worth losing consciousness over, with a weapon you couldn’t quite decipher.

You woke up in a daze a few hours later, in your room with a meal kit in front of you. 7 sat off to the side on the floor, resting his head on the wall. You looked at the food, then at him, then you kicked it away from you harshly. You stared down at a bruise which formed on your arm, no doubt from being brought up here. A hand went up to the back of your head, and you flinched at the feeling of the nasty bruise there.

“You should eat, you look faint,”

“You should kill yourself,”

A moment of silence. Then he spoke again,

“You won’t gain anything from starving, and you’ll just keep losing,”

“Do they know you’re in here?” you wiped a trickle of dried blood from above your lips. You probably face planted after the hit, considering how tender your nose felt.

“No,”

“Good. God forbid they find out and treat you like the rest of us peasants,”

“I didn’t tell 6 anything, to set the record straight,” he wet his lips, glancing at you.

“You think my main concern is how sleazy you are? How much of a crappy human you are? How little you’re actually worth? No 7,” you laughed dryly, a stitch in your abdomen making it hard to truly showcase how bitter you are. “Poor you, feeling so guilty for inflicting harm on others. I bet your having a real good time upstairs, eating food and drinking water and taking baths,”

He stared at the floor, pushing the food towards you again. You grabbed it and threw it at him. His eyes shut tightly and he adjusted his glasses. You caught his gaze, your panting form and his calm body. Your lips quivered and you looked away, choosing to face the window. 

“You’re a sick person,” your voice broke. “And when they turn on you,” you turned to face him, tears streaming down your face. “I’ll be the first to laugh,” He’d stood up by this point, fists clenched and facing the door, head cocked to the side to look at you. You waited for anything, a quip, an apology, an explanation. The door slammed shut behind him.

You pulled at your clothing uncomfortably, sliding off your jacket, feeling the uncomfortable itch of the tag of your pants. Except, there was no tag. You fumbled to grab the paper out, and the crumbled thing was from 1. The ultimate magic trick, you culminated.

A revolution. At his signal, you’re meant to ride the chute down to his room the next morning. 

A today better than yesterday. 

After making an attempt at the blood-bought-food 7 offered you in your room, but only to regain energy there was NO gratitude inside of you for that man.

Seeing as though you had no clue how the game was played, you only followed what people did. Put a card on your head, stuck your hand out with a number, and prayed you somehow won. You didn’t. 1 did. Being tied up felt a lot less constricting this time around, but you continued to try to play into that sorrow. He hit 3, you got untied and rushed to his aid.

That night, you all met in secret. 3 had needed to say something of importance.

“The delivery chute noise. I overlooked it,” 1 replied to 3’s warning. “That could've ended poorly,”

“What if this is a trap?” 2 asked.

“What makes you think so?” 3 replied.

“It’s dramatic. To catch us escaping when they already know,”

“Wouldn’t it be easier to catch us when we make a noise?” 

You nodded, not really having much to add.

1 continued, “Yes, he’s right. 7 Was clearly signaling for us to revolt against them,”

“If that’s the case, why did he treat us like this up till now?” 2 said blankly, leaned against the wall. “It was that prick 7 that kept this game so brutal.”

“My question is, how did he even know?” 1 asked, mostly to 3.

You recalled and gasped quietly. “That night, after we refused the coins, he was in my room when I woke up, maybe he saw the note,”

“And you didn’t think to mention it?” 2 raised an eyebrow.

“Didn’t seem significant,” you shrank. 

“What did he say to you?”

You stuck a tongue in your cheek, trying not to curl into a ball at all the sudden eyes. “Not much. Just that I look faint, and that I should eat.” you left out the apology.

3 scoffed, “Insensitive. Telling you to eat but not providing us food,”

You stared at the floor, and 2 scoffed. “He got you a meal kit? How’d he even manage that?”

“I don’t know. I was too angry to ask,”

2 leaned in closer to you, “Tell me you yelled at him,” there was vengeance in her voice.

You smiled slightly, “I mean, I threw the kit at him,” she laughed, and so did you. You wonder if maybe sometime later, you 2 could be real friends. 

The next day’s challenge was no short of odd. It was to balance in this square shape with everyone, without your arms. Logically, all this took was a short conversation and a few attempts, but you all messed up on purpose to make it boring. After another attempt, and yet another stupid fall, 1 began to groan, clutching his stomach. He raised his hand, like he was in a classroom.

“Excuse me, I’ve had a stomach ache for quite some time now, could you buy me some medicine?” he asked 7. That was the signal.

7 stared for a bit, then bit the inside of his cheek, going to get the key from 6. 5 told 7 what to get. 

At dawn, you crawled into the chute, descending down to 1’s room. He helped you out of the box. Everyone else was already there.

“I’m not a great fighter,” you admitted to 2, taking a spot behind her.

“You’ll be fine,” she assured. “Hey,” she put a hand on your shoulder, “If 7 ends up not being on our side, I’ll make sure to leave you a hit on his face,” she winked, and a smile spread across your features.

1 put on the waterworks soon after, laying down and pretending to be in pain, yelling about his stomach and whatnot. The door creaked slowly, the light filtering into the dim room. You held your breath, but 6 was not an idiot. He slammed the door into you guys, igniting the fuse. 2 was the first to get a few hits in, then 3 replaced her, he was then dropped to the ground and 6 repeatedly slammed the door into 2. You used your bodyweight to slam into him, making him momentarily stumble then tackle you. 1 joined in on the action, but was pushed into the waste bag pile, and beaten with the bat. You and the others worked to get 6 down, 1 even biting the man’s thigh. He ended back up on his feet, 2 pushing him and 3 throwing bags at him. You continued to try to use force, pushing and grunting, while he continued to swat you guys away with his bat like insects. Eventually, you got slammed so harshly into the wall it felt like you suddenly got clarity, and you faced the open door, which hosted an 8 holding her little taser in 3’s direction, as he had opened the door.

“Uh oh,” she said with a little shocked face.

6 had knocked out the other two, and stepped over you, kicking 3 then stepping out. He took the taser gun from his little girlfriend, then cursed under his breath as he neared the group again. You all got up, hands in the air in surrender like it would somehow change anything. Your fate was decided, and the next few days were about to be the worst torture you’d ever experience.

“Little tricksters. Never a dull moment with you guys huh?” the man chuckled out between pants of air.

“Hit him,”

“What?” 6 casted a glance backwards.

“HIT HIM!” 7 yelled.

2 let out a battle cry, lunging forward. You heard the click of his taser gun- empty. 6 promptly plummeted back onto his team, none of which tried to prevent his fall.

2 had a satisfied look in her eyes.

“My hand is all better now,” she heaved.

Top Tips for Finding Reliable Used Car Dealers: Maximizing Value and Minimizing Stress

Purchasing a used car can be an excellent decision for those looking to get great value without the hefty price tag of a brand-new vehicle. However, the process can also be daunting, especially if you’re unsure where to begin. Finding reliable used car dealers in Falkirk is the first step to ensuring a smooth and satisfying car-buying experience. Taking the right approach, can maximise value, minimise stress, and drive away with confidence.

Here are the top tips to help you find trustworthy dealers and maximise your used car purchase in Falkirk.

1. Do Your Research on Used Car Dealers in Falkirk

Before stepping onto a dealership lot, invest time in researching the options available in Falkirk. Look for dealers who have a positive reputation for transparency, reliability, and excellent customer service. Online reviews and testimonials can provide valuable insight into others’ experiences with specific dealers.

Additionally, check if the dealership specialises in certain types of vehicles, as this can help narrow down your options based on your preferences and budget.

2. Set a Realistic Budget

One of the biggest advantages of buying from used car dealers in Falkirk is that you have access to a wide range of vehicles at varying price points. However, it’s essential to set a realistic budget before you begin shopping.

When setting your budget, consider the following:

The cost of the car itself

Insurance premiums

Maintenance expenses

Fuel efficiency and related costs

Having a clear financial plan will help you avoid overspending and ensure you choose a car that fits your lifestyle and long-term needs.

3. Inspect the Vehicle’s Condition

Reputable used car dealers in Falkirk typically conduct thorough inspections and maintenance checks on their inventory. However, it’s still a good idea to assess the condition of the car yourself or with the help of a trusted mechanic.

Pay attention to the following:

Exterior: Check for dents, scratches, and rust.

Interior: Inspect the upholstery, dashboard, and controls for signs of wear and tear.

Engine: Look for oil leaks and listen for unusual sounds.

Tires: Ensure even tread wear and proper inflation.

A test drive is also essential to evaluate the car’s performance, handling, and comfort.

4. Request the Vehicle History Report

When buying a used car, it’s critical to understand the vehicle’s history. Reputable used car dealers in Falkirk should provide a comprehensive vehicle history report, which includes information about:

Previous owners

Accidents or damage history

Service records

Mileage discrepancies

A vehicle history report helps you make an informed decision and avoid potential issues down the road.

5. Understand Warranty and After-Sales Support

While many people associate warranties with new cars, some used car dealers in Falkirk offer warranty packages for pre-owned vehicles. These warranties can provide peace of mind and protect you from unexpected repair costs after the purchase.

Additionally, inquire about after-sales support, such as servicing options, roadside assistance, or trade-in opportunities. Dealers that prioritise customer satisfaction often have robust after-sales services in place.

6. Negotiate Smartly

Negotiating is a key part of the car-buying process, especially when purchasing from used car dealers in Falkirk. Research the market value of the vehicle you’re interested in to strengthen your bargaining position. Be prepared to negotiate on:

The price of the vehicle

Additional features or upgrades

Documentation and administrative fees

Approach negotiations confidently but respectfully, and don’t hesitate to walk away if the deal doesn’t meet your expectations.

7. Check for Certification Programs

Some used car dealers offer certified pre-owned (CPO) vehicles. These cars typically undergo a rigorous inspection process and come with extended warranties, making them a safer option for buyers.

Which parent is the tooth fairy in Nico and Lexi and Emma and Timo?

My dad was always the “tooth fairy” lol

All the dads! They all get so excited about it too! Let me tell you about Kevin Fiala though…

One night when Luca is 7, Kevin comes home from a road trip. Kevin knew Luca had lost his tooth, saw the big gap in his front teeth, so he tiptoed into Luca’s room and did the swap. Admittedly, Kevin had been tired and fumbled around in his wallet for the first bill he could grab. Typically, he had been giving $5 for small teeth and $10 for molars (inflation ya know?).

The next morning, Luca is falling over himself trying to get to his parents to show them his reward.

“Mama! Daddy! Look! I got $100!” Kevin, who had been in a light snooze next to Sam, bolts up.

“What?!” He asks, pushing his sleep mask up. He takes in the $100 bill in Luca’s hand, then closes his eyes, falling back into bed.

“Oh wow. The tooth fairy was very generous this time.” Sam murmurs, slapping Kevin square in the chest. Kevin grunts in pain.

“Yep. I deserved that.” He groans.

“Can we go to Target and get the new Call Of Duty?”

“No. You’re 7. You aren’t allowed to shoot people- real or fake.” Sam rolls her eyes. Luca wants to be like his older cousins. Sam pushes the covers off her legs, then leans down to kiss the top of his head. “How about you go downstairs and pick out breakfast. I got some yogurt for you.”

Luca skips from the room, singing excitedly about his gift.

“So what are we gonna do with that?”

“I don’t know, baby. I’ll figure it out when I’ve had more than four hours of sleep.”

Sam chuckles, then kisses him. Afterwards, she leaves her husband to sulk while she heads to grab their youngest, babbling her name down the hall.

RV Maintenance Tips for Traveling Through Crawfordville, Georgia

Traveling through Georgia, especially near areas like Crawfordville, offers picturesque views, tranquil surroundings, and the ultimate escape into nature. As you journey, it’s crucial to ensure your RV is in tip-top shape. Whether you’re staying at Sunrise River RV Park or passing through RV parks near Augusta, GA, maintaining your RV is vital to ensure a smooth and enjoyable trip. Below are some essential RV maintenance tips to keep in mind as you explore this beautiful region.

1. Regular Tire Inspections

One of the most critical aspects of RV maintenance is tire care. Before heading to any RV park near Augusta, GA, check your tires for proper inflation, wear, and tear. The varied terrain in Georgia, from highways to forest trails, can strain your tires. Ensure they are inflated to the manufacturer's recommended pressure. Also, inspect the treads for any signs of excessive wear, and replace tires if necessary. A blowout on the road can be dangerous and inconvenient, so this simple check can save you a lot of trouble.

2. Check and Maintain Brakes

Given the hilly landscapes around Crawfordville, ensuring your brakes are in excellent condition is essential. Regularly check the brake pads, rotors, and fluid levels. If you notice any squeaking, grinding, or decreased braking efficiency, get them serviced immediately. The peace of mind knowing your brakes are functioning correctly will make your travel through Georgia’s scenic routes much safer.

3. Inspect Roof Seals and Vents

Georgia’s climate can be unpredictable, with sudden rain showers even in sunny conditions. To avoid leaks and water damage, inspect the seals around your RV's roof, windows, and vents. Look for any cracks or deteriorated seals, and reapply sealant if necessary. This small step can prevent costly repairs later, especially if you're planning to stay at Sunrise River RV Park, where the natural surroundings are best enjoyed dry and leak-free!

4. Keep the Electrical System in Check

Your RV’s electrical system is its lifeline, powering everything from the refrigerator to the air conditioning. Before you park at any RV park near Augusta, GA, inspect your batteries, wires, and connections. Make sure your batteries are fully charged and in good condition. Test your generator to ensure it’s functioning properly, especially if you plan to camp in more remote areas like Crawfordville. Keeping a multimeter handy can help you diagnose any electrical issues that may arise on the road.

5. Monitor Your Water System

Georgia’s humidity and temperatures can lead to unique challenges for your RV’s water system. Regularly check your freshwater, gray, and black water tanks for leaks or signs of wear. Ensure that the hoses are in good condition and securely connected. If you plan on staying at Sunrise River RV Park, you’ll appreciate having a fully functional water system for showers and kitchen use. Additionally, consider investing in a water pressure regulator to prevent high-pressure water at certain campsites from damaging your RV’s plumbing.

6. Keep Your HVAC System Clean

The summer heat in Georgia can be intense, making your RV’s HVAC system essential for comfort. Clean the filters regularly and ensure that the air conditioning unit is functioning properly. If you're visiting Crawfordville during the warmer months, you’ll want to stay cool and comfortable after a day of exploring. Routine maintenance of your HVAC system will keep you and your family comfortable throughout your journey.

7. Stock Up on Essential Supplies

Crawfordville offers natural beauty and serenity, but it’s also essential to be prepared for any situation. Ensure you have a well-stocked toolkit that includes wrenches, screwdrivers, pliers, and any other tools specific to your RV model. Carry spare fuses, bulbs, and essential fluids like oil, coolant, and windshield washer fluid. Being prepared will ensure that minor issues don’t escalate into significant problems, allowing you to enjoy your stay at any RV park near Augusta, GA, or beyond.

8. Plan for Waste Disposal

Responsible waste management is vital for the environment and the longevity of your RV’s sanitation system. Before arriving at Sunrise River RV Park, familiarize yourself with the park's waste disposal facilities. Ensure that your black and gray water tanks are emptied and clean. Carry appropriate chemicals to treat your tanks, reducing odors and buildup. Keeping your waste management system in top shape ensures a pleasant experience for you and your fellow campers.

9. Check Your Propane System

Propane is essential for cooking, heating, and refrigeration in many RVs. Before embarking on your journey through Georgia, inspect your propane tanks and lines for leaks. Make sure your tanks are securely mounted and that your regulator is functioning correctly. It’s also wise to keep a carbon monoxide detector in your RV for safety. Regularly inspecting your propane system will allow you to enjoy meals and hot showers without worry during your stay.

10. Protect Against Pests

Crawfordville, with its lush landscapes and natural beauty, can also be a haven for insects and small animals. To protect your RV from unwanted guests, seal any gaps or cracks where pests might enter. Regularly clean your RV’s interior, removing food crumbs and trash that could attract pests. If you’re staying at Sunrise River RV Park, you’ll want to focus on the natural beauty of the area, not on dealing with ants or mice inside your RV!

11. Keep Your RV Clean

Traveling through Georgia can expose your RV to dust, dirt, and debris. Regularly wash your RV to maintain its appearance and protect its exterior from damage. Pay special attention to the undercarriage, especially after traveling on dirt roads or through muddy areas. Cleaning your RV not only keeps it looking good but also helps prevent rust and corrosion, ensuring it stays in excellent condition for years to come.

12. Stay Informed About Local Road Conditions

As you travel through Georgia, staying informed about local road conditions can help you avoid unexpected delays or hazards. Check weather forecasts and road reports, especially during the rainy season, when roads can become slick or flooded. Knowing the conditions ahead of time allows you to plan your route and adjust your driving to ensure a safe journey to Sunrise River RV Park or any other destination in the area.

Conclusion

Maintaining your RV is essential to ensure a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable journey through Crawfordville and the surrounding areas of Georgia. Whether you’re heading to Sunrise River RV Park or exploring RV parks near Augusta, GA, following these maintenance tips will keep your RV in top condition, allowing you to focus on the adventure ahead.

Riding (A) Bicycle Prompts

1. A doesn’t have a bike bell and therefore makes weird noises/shouts something/etc. to make others aware of their presence.

2. Despite A’s constant reassurance that they are almost there, B is about to give up. Their legs burn, their butt hurts and really, they just want to stop riding the freaking bicycle.

3. There’s only one bicycle left at the bike sharing station and A and B both want it.

4. A has stopped breathing – which is dangerous, of course, but with B standing so close to them, carefully helping them to fasten their cycling helmet, it cannot be helped.

5. A is barely able to hold in their laughter/a comment/etc. when seeing how B is dressed. Apparently, they have mistaken their planned little bike tour for the Tour de France.

6. A has fallen off their bicycle, and B makes sure they are okay.

7. Every day when A walks by/returns to their bicycle, a flower/etc. sits in the basket, waiting for them.

8. Of course, this had to happen. Of course. Just when A and B leave the city/etc. behind, no possible shelter for them and their bicycles in sight, it starts to rain.

9. “Was this a bad or genius idea?” A wonders, taking their seat on the tandem behind/in front of B.

10. A lends B their bicycle tire inflator.

11. So… A might have done a stupid little thing and set the combination for the bike lock to B’s birthday/etc. Please don’t ask them to tell you the code, B. Please. A might die on the spot if you do.

12. Another day, another time A’s bicycle basket isn’t where it’s supposed to be. Did B steal it again?

13. A has become slightly obsessed with riding a bicycle. ‘Slightly’ as in ‘set up a bike (using bike rollers) in front of the TV/etc. and riding it while watching a bicycle simulator/the Tour de France’.

14. A offers B a ride home/etc. on their bicycle. Sure, it’s a bit risky to have them sitting on the top tube/rack, but it also allows them to be a little closer to them.

15. God. This is embarrassing, A thinks, trying to ignore the constant creaks and squeaks coming from their… their bicycle saddle? while riding next to B.

16. A was there first, so it’s only fair that the last available public bicycle rack is theirs. B, however, disagrees.

17. A teaches B how to ride a bicycle.

18. A almost always rides their bicycle to go to work/school/etc. Usually, B is doing the same, but A hasn’t seen them in over a week and they are getting worried.

19. When A notices B taking a walk, they come to a slow next to them, staying in their bicycle saddle as they start talking.

20. When A suggested a bicycle tour with their friends, B certainly didn’t expect for them to mean they would pedal around the city on a beer/wine bike.

21. A has a flat tire/slipped bike chain, and B offers their help in fixing the problem.

22. A (almost) shrieks when getting into their bicycle saddle, the material burning hot after a day in the sun.

23. A has forgotten their bike lock (code) and B is suggesting that they can just lock their bicycles together. It feels (weirdly)… intimate.

24. A complains about the city they live in not providing enough opportunities to ride a bicycle.  

25. Normally A adores the height difference between them and B. But my gosh is it a pain when one has to borrow their bicycle.

26. A gifts B a unique bike bell/helmet/etc.

27. Having glanced at B for too long/Thinking they heard B call out their name and turning their head, A loses their balance/crashes right into a trash can/etc. with their bicycle.

Up next in our Mother Nature series, Earth Shaker! I thought it would be fun to make it look like she was made from tectonic plates. I imagine her hair and coat move and shift much like the plates we live on. In a couple days time, her coat will have changed pattern and color, and her mane and tail will be entirely new. 

On to our tips!

1. Water conservation is a great way to help the earth if you're able. Don't get me wrong, still bathe and stay hydrated! But watering the lawn and washing your car can probably wait. Depending on where you live, you may be able to collect rain water in rain barrels as well! As always, friends, check your local laws and regulations! And practice safe water usage and storage. NEVER drink water before sanitizing it properly, and ALWAYS make sure your water is sealed and stored safely to make sure you don't attract pests!

2. If you have the room, consider planting native flora! Pollinators love all sorts of plants, and making sure you're planting things native to your area can ensure you don't accidentally invite non-native species to the ecosystem! If you have a massive garden, or just a little pot, it all helps our pollinators and our ecosystems to have local and native plants!

3. Walk/Bike/carpool places! I know it's a bit over done, and for some people, it's just not really doable. But I still feel like it's worth mentioning. Walking, biking, carpooling, or using public transport can be a great way to help out! If you (like me) don't really have the option to take public transit, walk, or bike places, consider doing as much as you can in as few trips as possible! And remember, friends! Your 20 minute solo-drive to work is NOT the big issue! The millionaires taking 13 minute private jet flights are!

4. Speaking of cars! Did you know keeping your car in tip-top shape can help get more miles per gallon? Some tire shops will check and inflate your tires for free! Make sure to keep an eye on your tires, too. Low tread can be dangerous! And properly cared for tires can help you make the most of the gas in your tank! Rotate your tires when needed (if you're not sure, some tire shops will check your tires for pretty cheep, if not for free), keep your tires properly inflated for the season, and stay safe!

5. Be. Patient. With yourself. Do not expect to cut your waste down to nothing in a week, or even a month. Those influencers you see, who have had a SINGLE piece of waste for a whole year have not only been at this for a long, long time. But they have also made it their jobs to be good at this! Strive for progress, not perfection. I still buy sodas in plastic bottles, sometimes I forget my reusable cup, and sometimes I am just too tired to remember my reusable bags. None of this makes me bad. None of this makes me the villain. It makes me human! Doing your personal best, even if it's just taking the stairs or holding the door open or just breathing! Is ENOUGH! You are enough! And provided you are not dumping toxic waste in to the everglades, or pouring oil into the seas, or throwing a rager on the Eastern Garbage Patch, you're probably doing alright, friend.

The Diamond Nobody Talks About (But Probably Should) If you’ve ever stared at a Euro Australian Dollar chart and thought, “That looks kind of... shiny,” you might've just spotted the elusive diamond bottom pattern. And no, we’re not talking engagement rings. This sparkling setup is a market reversal powerhouse, often overlooked because, like a good dad joke, it requires some context and patience to appreciate. But here’s where it gets interesting: most traders skip it because it doesn't scream for attention like a head and shoulders or a double bottom. And that, my friend, is exactly why it's so powerful. Let’s dig deep into this hidden gem, blend it with the Euro Australian Dollar's market behavior, and unearth strategies even seasoned traders tend to miss. Why Most Traders Get It Wrong (And How You Can Avoid It) Let’s be real: most traders treat chart patterns like they’re at a buffet—piling on everything from flags to triangles, hoping something sticks. But the diamond bottom, with its unique V-then-box shape, is a pattern that demands discipline. Common Pitfalls: - Forcing the pattern: Not every symmetrical squiggle is a diamond. - Ignoring volume: This pattern thrives on volume clues during breakout. - Late entries: Jumping in after the breakout candle closes 300 pips later is like showing up to a movie halfway through and still expecting popcorn. Pro Tip: Use the 1H or 4H timeframes on EUR/AUD to catch the diamond bottom in its early form, and always combine it with volume indicators or ATR filters for confirmation. The Hidden Geometry of the Diamond Bottom (And Why EUR/AUD Loves It) The Euro Australian Dollar has a reputation for exaggerated moves—it doesn't just trend, it waltzes across your screen like it's auditioning for "Dancing with the Forex Stars." And guess what? That makes it a perfect candidate for diamond bottoms. Here’s how the geometry plays out: - Price drops sharply, forms a volatile base. - Then, it tightens into a symmetrical range. - Finally, it explodes upward in a classic bullish reversal. Insider Tip: According to Kathy Lien, managing director at BK Asset Management, "EUR/AUD is one of the most volatile G10 pairs, often leading to exaggerated reversal setups." Source Case Study: EUR/AUD Diamond in September 2023 Remember the Australian employment report in September 2023? Most traders fixated on the headline numbers, but the real play was brewing quietly on the EUR/AUD 4H chart. Here’s what happened: - Sharp drop: EUR/AUD plummeted after positive Australian job data. - Diamond shape formed over 48 hours. - Breakout came after ECB comments about inflation. Result: 250+ pip move in under 12 hours. Traders who identified the diamond early had time to set tight stop losses and ride the wave. Diamond Bottom Strategy Blueprint (Step-by-Step) This isn’t your average cookie-cutter guide. This is for the trader who’s tired of stale strategies and ready to spot gold in the rubble. Step 1: Identify a strong downtrend on EUR/AUD, preferably after news-driven movement. Step 2: Look for wide, choppy volatility that begins to compress into a symmetrical range. Step 3: Confirm the diamond shape with four anchor points: two highs, two lows converging. Step 4: Add volume or ATR (Average True Range) to confirm reduction in volatility before breakout. Step 5: Entry triggers when price breaks above the top resistance of the diamond with a high-volume candle. Step 6: Place stop-loss just below the lowest wick in the diamond. Step 7: Set take-profit using measured move projection (height of the pattern added to the breakout point). How the Smart Money Uses It (And Keeps It Quiet) Institutional traders love patterns retail traders ignore. The diamond bottom, because it appears disorganized before it forms symmetry, is a prime example. According to a report by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), more than 65% of retail traders underperform because they overtrade recognizable setups while missing complex structures. Source Translation? The pros are watching the mess turn into a diamond while retail is chasing flags like they’re in a Formula 1 race. What They Won’t Tell You: Contrarian Techniques That Actually Work You won’t find this in most courses, but here’s a contrarian gem: Front-run the breakout. Yes, you heard that right. If you’ve backtested the diamond bottom setup and confirmed the compression phase, a limit order just before the breakout line (with tight SL) can often offer insane R:R ratios. Pair this with StarseedFX's Smart Trading Tool to automate your position sizing based on risk and volatility. Try it here Bonus Tip: Combine with Economic Events Want to turn up the accuracy dial to eleven? Time your diamond pattern setups around macroeconomic announcements (employment, interest rate decisions, CPI). The EUR/AUD reacts heavily to these, often forming traps that explode into clean reversals. Track real-time events and get exclusive data from our Forex News Hub at StarseedFX News. Elite Summary: What You Now Know You now have access to a strategy that most traders overlook and institutions quietly profit from. Here’s a quick recap: - The diamond bottom is a rare reversal setup perfect for volatile pairs like EUR/AUD. - Look for compression after a large drop, and confirm with volume or ATR. - Use a step-by-step entry plan and always align with macroeconomic catalysts. - Front-run breakout levels (with tight risk) to unlock insane R:R potential. - Integrate tools like our Smart Trading Tool for edge amplification.

How to Stay Safe on the Road with Proper Tire Maintenance

When it comes to road safety, most drivers often focus on seatbelts, brakes, and airbags. However, one of the most critical—yet often overlooked—factors is your vehicle’s tires. Proper tire maintenance not only extends the life of your tires but also plays a vital role in keeping you and others safe while driving.

Whether you're planning a long road trip or simply commuting to work, taking care of your tires is essential. If you ever notice unusual wear, cracks, or a persistent low-pressure warning, it's wise to consult a professional. For residents in and around Virginia, a reliable tire repair shop Winchester locals trust can help ensure your tires are in top condition before you hit the road.

Why Tire Maintenance Matters

Tires are your vehicle’s only contact with the road. When they’re in poor shape, your car’s handling, braking, and fuel efficiency can all be affected. Poor tire condition is also a leading cause of road accidents, especially in extreme weather conditions.

Tips for Maintaining Your Tires

Here are some key tire maintenance tips every driver should follow:

1. Check Tire Pressure Regularly

Underinflated or overinflated tires can cause uneven wear and reduce traction. Use a tire pressure gauge at least once a month and before long trips to ensure all tires are inflated to the manufacturer’s recommended PSI.

2. Rotate Your Tires

Rotating your tires every 5,000 to 8,000 miles helps distribute wear evenly and extends their lifespan. Make sure to follow a tire rotation pattern suited to your vehicle type.

3. Inspect Tread Depth

Worn-out treads reduce grip and can lead to hydroplaning. Use a tread depth gauge or the penny test to check. If the tread is less than 2/32 of an inch, it's time for new tires.

4. Balance and Align Your Wheels

Unbalanced tires or misaligned wheels can cause vibrations and uneven wear. Have your alignment checked if you notice your car pulling to one side or the steering wheel isn’t centered.

5. Watch for Visible Damage

Look for punctures, bulges, or sidewall cracks. If you find any, have your tires inspected by a professional immediately. Sometimes, a simple repair can prevent a dangerous blowout.

Seasonal Tire Care

Changes in temperature affect tire pressure. In colder months, tires lose pressure, while in hotter climates, they expand. Adjust accordingly and consider switching to winter or all-season tires depending on your region.

Final Thoughts

Proper tire care doesn’t just save you money—it can save lives. Make it a routine to inspect, maintain, and when necessary, replace your tires. Always be proactive; your safety and the safety of others on the road depend on it.

Avoid fabricated reviews—verified purchases and reviews with advantages and disadvantages are preferable.

4. Product Specifications

An effective utility must align with industry standard and be suitable for your car needs. For instance, in the purchase of a jump starter, its rating of power (amps) and being compatible with your car battery must be assured. The same applies to cleaning materials as they ought to be compatible with your car paint and interior material.

5. Compare Prices and Warranty

Quality does not have to be costly. Compare the prices of different stores to receive the best value. Many websites offer discounts, yet be cautious to buy from a credible seller. In addition, look at products that are under warranty or offer return policies against defects.

6. Look for Expert Recommendations

Car journalists and car bloggers also rate and review car accessories. YouTube channels for car accessories, Car and Driver website, and Auto Express website publish detailed reviews and comparisons.

7. Buy from Authorized Dealers

Buying from reliable stores such as byconnectingwithFabtecbysimplycallingthemon+91 9711393973 guarantees originality. Buy only from third-party authorized resellers who are certified.

8. Try and Keep Your Purchases

After purchasing the utility, check it to confirm that it works. If, for instance, you purchase a tire inflator, use it with a spare tire occasionally before a crisis hits. Tool maintenance, like recharging jump starters and cleaning microfiber cloths, extends the life of the tools.

Conclusion

Buying quality car utilities involves careful research, brand name, and careful price comparison. Prioritize utilities with positive reviews, guarantees, and specifications that suit your requirements. Buying the right utilities improves your driving experience and enhances road safety.

How to Choose the Best Vehicle Storage Unit for Your Needs 

When it comes to safeguarding your vehicle during periods of non-use, selecting the right storage option is essential. Whether you’re moving to a new city, going on an extended vacation, or simply need extra space at home, a reliable vehicle storage solution can keep your car in top condition. However, with multiple options available, choosing the best vehicle storage unit requires careful consideration. 

This guide will help you understand different types of car storage, factors to consider, and how to prepare your vehicle for storage. 

Types of Vehicle Storage Options 

Car storage facilities offer different types of storage based on budget, security, and protection. Below are the most common options: 

1. Indoor Vehicle Storage Units 

Indoor storage space for cars provides the highest level of protection. These enclosed units keep your vehicle safe from weather, dust, and vandalism. Climate-controlled automobile storage units are ideal for luxury cars, classic vehicles, and long-term storage. 

2. Outdoor Covered Storage 

This option offers a protective roof or carport-style covering to shield your vehicle from direct sunlight and precipitation. While it doesn’t provide the full protection of an enclosed unit, it’s a good middle-ground solution. 

3. Outdoor Open Storage 

The most budget-friendly option, outdoor vehicle storage involves parking in an open lot. This is suitable for short-term storage or for vehicles that are not sensitive to weather conditions. However, it’s important to use a high-quality car cover for additional protection. 

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Vehicle Storage Unit 

To find the best automobile storage facilities, keep these factors in mind: 

1. Security Features 

Look for car storage facilities that offer:  ✔ 24/7 surveillance cameras  ✔ Gated access with passcodes  ✔ On-site security personnel  ✔ Alarm systems and motion detectors 

2. Storage Unit Size 

Choose a vehicle storage unit that comfortably fits your car. Here’s a quick size guide: 

Sedans and small cars: 10x15 feet 

SUVs and trucks: 10x20 or 10x25 feet 

RVs and large vehicles: 10x30 feet or more 

3. Climate Control Options 

If you own a high-value or classic car, opt for climate-controlled automobile storage units. These regulate temperature and humidity, preventing rust, battery drainage, and paint damage. 

4. Accessibility 

Consider how often you’ll need access to your car. Some vehicle self-storage providers offer 24/7 access, while others have limited hours. Choose a facility that aligns with your needs. 

5. Cost and Payment Options 

Pricing varies depending on storage type and location. While indoor units are pricier, they offer better protection. Some facilities also provide flexible rental terms—ideal for both short-term and long-term car storage. 

How to Prepare Your Car for Storage 

Before placing your vehicle in storage, follow these essential steps: 

Clean Your Vehicle: Wash and wax the exterior to prevent dirt buildup and rust. Clean the interior to avoid mold, odors, and pests. 

Check Fluids and Battery: Top off all fluids, including oil, coolant, and brake fluid. If storing long-term, disconnect the battery or use a trickle charger. 

Inflate Tires: Keep tires properly inflated to prevent flat spots. Consider using tire blocks for added support. 

Use a Car Cover: Even in covered car space storage, a breathable car cover provides an extra layer of protection. 

Engage the Parking Brake: If storing for an extended period, use wheel chocks instead of engaging the parking brake to prevent brake pad sticking.

If you’re looking for a secure and hassle-free vehicle storage solution, Pineapple by ELE offers top-tier automobile storage facilities tailored to different vehicle needs. With flexible storage options, nationwide availability, and doorstep pickup services, they ensure your vehicle remains safe and well-maintained for as long as you need.
