Midnight in Salem

HerInteractive was churning out games three a year, and then… they weren’t. I don’t know the details but it probably had something to do with the Mysterious Benefactor no longer benefacting. The next game was going to be Midnight in Salem, and it didn’t appear and didn’t appear and the fandom assumed they’d solved their last puzzle.

The it did appear.

And it was disappointing.

That’s what I knew already but come on, Nancy Drew and witches, of course I was going to play it.

It was indeed disappointing, but not nearly as much as I’d feared. My verdict is that the game is fun but true blue Nancy Drew fans will have moments that just kinda make them twitch because the writers just did not quite get what they were supposed to be going for.

The worst twitch is Nancy herself. She has a new voice, with Lani Minella having retired from the role so she doesn’t sound right. And the writers don’t quite “get” Nancy. Or I guess you could say they’re trying to let her grow as a character, from a teenager who kind of chuckles about mysteries finding her wherever she goes and being “a bit of an amateur detective” to a young woman who is thinking about going into business with the Hardys as an official detective. At the end of the game Nancy makes a quip about wanting to ride a broom because it would be good for “getting an overview of crime scenes” and I just feel like the old Nancy doesn’t think in terms of crime scenes. Our girl has taken a step towards CSI and away from, well, Nancy Drew. A really small step, but enough to be jarring.

Oh, and there’s also a mild subplot where Ned is somewhere else in company with another girl who playfully steals his phone, and he’s concerned that Nancy is hanging out with Frank Hardy. It’s only a few phone calls, doesn’t take up much of the game, but again it’s a jarring change and it kinda makes me clutch my pearls and go, “The real Ned and Nancy would never!”

But Nancy also sounds more… human? Than Lani’s Nancy. She has longer conversations and comforts other characters who are scared. She freaks out when she sees the ghost—she still doesn’t believe in the supernatural, Nancy’s a confirmed skeptic, but in the moment she believes and is really freaked out. Which is how a real skeptic would react, I think. So if the idea is to make Nancy grow as a character, it’s not all bad.

(I, a confirmed magical being, love how Nancy is a confirmed skeptic and there’s always a rational explanation.)

The plot of Midnight in Salem went through some rewrites, so I’ve heard. Apparently the original was more concerned with the witch trials and some of the characters had the same names as historical figures. Knowing that you can kind of see it, there is a lot of witch history in the game but it sort of feels like there was more, more plot threads that were snipped along the way. The story that came out the end of the focus group was about arson at a historical house, a stolen book written by a judge apologizing for, y’know, sending innocent women to their deaths, a witchy tourguide, a girl with strong intuition, and a ghost. The spooky stuff is everywhere but the mystical minigamnes were a bit disappointing. There is a minigame where you make herbal remedies and that’s great but there was room for more ingredient gathering and potion making. You get to do some ghost hunting with a ghost-o-meter but Joe Hardy’s one homemade gizmo is kinda pathetic to everyone who’s played a Darkling Room game. Joe, props for trying but you gotta level up!

The puzzles and minigames are actually good. They’re on par with the puzzles in the rest of the series except for one aspect: their rarity. Midnight in Salem has like half as many wildly unrealistic puzzles as any other Nancy Drew game. Lauren didn’t ask us to help put her teas on the shelf except teas in blue tins have to be next to teas in green tins but teas in purple tins must be on the end of the shelf. Olivia didn’t make us identify crystals in her shop. Teegan didn’t ask us to arrange even one museum display! When we check out the water system we don’t have to reconnect the pipes to find the thing that’s hidden there. The careless judge hasn’t locked the evidence in a safe and forgotten how the unique lock works. Mei didn’t make us beat her at a phone game before she’ll talk to us. How is this even a Nancy Drew game?!

Come on HerInteractive, you gotta up the “Why does Nancy have to do this it makes no sense!” factor. We are not here for remotely realistic. We are here for puzzles.

All that said, I quite enjoyed Midnight in Salem. It’s not a good Nancy Drew game, it’s a fumbling attempt at a Nancy Drew game by people who were trying but didn’t quite get it, and it could have been a better game than it is. But approached with that expectation, accepting that you’ll twitch from time to time, it’s a good game!

And things are looking up for the series! Mystery of the Seven Keys just came out and it’ll be a while before I play it, but I know that HerInteractive did a stellar job of teasing the game through puzzles on the website, bringing the whole fandom together to find clues and solve them to learn hints about the game’s plot. That doesn’t promise a good game, but it’s a really good sign.

April 1st.. how did that happen so fast..

The day we went for a daytrip to a Pagoda, almlst got lost in a forest/holy temple area and our night bus experience.

A lot can happen in just one day. We were so tired from mostly doing research the day before and slept in until almost 12. After paying for our room we realized we barely had any money left. So as we are in a small town there id only one ATM that soesnt charge you a fee or has bad reviews. And of cours ethe day we really needed it - because we were planning ro go to Sapa next and there are no ATMs there - the ATM wasnt working. So we had to get a taxi to the next bigger city to get some money. Thankfully the taxidriver aksed us where we qanted to go next and became our personal chauffeur to the Bai Dinh pagoda (and yes the pagoda was only 12km away. But 40 degrees and these bumpy roads on a bike was not an option). When we arrived at the pagoda the driver told us he would wait for us. Tjis is crazy. Hr knew we would spend at least 3 hours there and wanted to wait for us. It showed us again that in smaller cities the drivers really are struggling to get to drive around people because lost of the tourists just ride a motorbike. And when he brought us back home he also wanted to be our driver the next day. He texted me 2x asking where we wanted to go. Sadly we were taking the nightbus that night to Sapa.

But back to the pagoda. This pagoda is a huge area with many temples and a big buddha statue and a tower. So you can walk around beautiful nature and lots of stairs and discover many beautiful spots. Sadly it is so touristic that the people there sell different types of tickets. The cheapest is just for the entrance fee and to walk around. Not being able to go up the tower or to some temples on another hill. The second cheapest includes the tower.. and then if you want to get brought back to the entrance/exit you can book an extra shuttle service. We decided to just walk around by ourselfes- except for the shuttle that bribgs you to the lower entrance point- and to get inside the tower. This was 100.000 dong and totally worth it.

We thought we could easily make it within 3hours. Turns out we couldnt. So the highlight was the tower. After having seen all the beautiful temples, there is this one big red tower that offers an amazing view. Thankfully it had an elevator. So when we got up there you could see super far and in every direction there were mountains, water, rice fields and temples. It might kot look that spectacular on the pictures but trust me. It was breathtaking.

And now the scary part. Trying to find the exit. When the sun was setting we decided to head back outside and just look on the map where to go. There were 2 options. 1: go back to where we started (3km away) or find the other exit that was super close on the map. We tried to use google maps as a help but it didnt really help. There were no exit signs anywhere and in the end we ended up walking down a path that had no lights, many trees (forest area) and creepy statues. And then there were these sounds that you usually just hear in horror movies. Combined with a very strong wind. So after 15 minutes we finally reached a spot with a guy sitting there telling us that the next shuttle would be there in 5 minutes. It was dark, nobodyelse was around - seriously I doubt that anyone has ever used this exit- and we just hoped that there really was a shuttle. And yes there was. We texted our taxidriver that we finally made it out and he laughed about our story even though I am pretty sure he didnt understand a word we were saying.

After a 30 minute ride back home we got some dinner and had to wait for the nightbus. And this is how it works: we got a whatsappmessage from the tourguide operator telling us that we will be taking the Ha son night bus (????) at 22:40 and she gace us the licenseplate number of the bus. Weird system as we di not book for the Ha son company but specifically for the limousine one. So I guess whatever you book you will never know which bus you will end up in. Lets just hope for the best. When the bus arrived they wouldnt let us in first because they didnt understand our ticket - as we booked via the limousine operator and not on their webpage.. so we insisted that this is our bus and just went inside anyway. Inside there are 3 rows. Every row has 12 beds. 6 on the bottom and 6 on the top. So 36 beds in total. I was super worried about the legroom butvit turns out that the beds were actually 1.85m long. Sonnot as bad as we thought it would be. The bed even had a curtain for some more privacy. The only downside was that the beds are super hard to sleep on and the upper part was going more vertical than horizontal. And one thing if you ever wanna take a sleeper bus in vietnam: most of them do not have a toilet. So dont drink much before. Because the driver doesnt speak english and we didnt know how long they would take a break. So its better kot to have to pee. So lets just say my last 2 hours were interesting to handle.

Having slept 1 hour in total we arrived in Sapa at 7am in the morning.

Battle for the Sun {Diana Prince x Reader Oneshot}

Requested by: @justarookiewriter​ Wordcount: 2768 Summary: Trips to the museum are always fantastic, but a certain curator makes it all the better. But what happens when you keep getting interrupted?

The display that the museum was putting on was absolutely spectacular. You turned up every single day that this exhibition was on, using your membership card to get through the long lines. Italian sculptures, men and women, all sorts of bodies from ones that would be shamed today to the ideal. You walked the long stone halls alone, your hands behind your back, taking in the art as it was rather than trying to take pictures of it. A photo on a phone was nothing compared to the majesty that you were seeing in front of you. You stopped in front of your favorite, a sculpture of a woman. She was kneeling on the ground, her face turned upwards, her dress revealing one breast. There was something delicate about it. The way that the artist made stone look like fabric. It was incredible. But you weren’t just here for the art - there was another reason that you came around, and that was for one of the curators. An astonishing woman named Diana Prince.

You were hoping to see her, but instead, the only person you saw was a security guard who tended to follow you around. Not because he thought that you were up to devious behavior, but because he enjoyed the sight of you. He told you so enough times, and each word out of his mouth made you gag. But the art and Diana were worth putting up with him, just for a little while.

“Oh, you’re here again!” The very wanted voice of the woman that you were hoping to see  came through the room, which cuts the creepy security guard right out of the picture. As it well should have.

“You found me already,” You said, turning the tall woman with a smile. “Usually you only catch me when I’m about to leave. I’ve only been here about an hour.”

“I can leave you to it,” She said, her accent being one that you couldn’t quite place.  There were a dozen or so places that you suspected she could have come from, but never felt that you could ask such a rude question. She was here now, in France, and that’s what really mattered.

“Oh,  no, only if you have other things to do. I never mind your company, Diana,” You said with a smile. The way that she looked today was breathtaking. How she managed to make a simple pair of jeans and a blouse look glamorous, you didn’t understand. You didn’t even have hope that you could emulate such a look. You probably looked horrible next to her, in your comfy University sweater to fight off the chill of the upcoming autumn months. “Not for a little while, no,” She said, smiling back. She stood next to you and looked up at the sculpture that you had been stopped in front of. “Is this one your favorite?” She asked you. You nodded in response, then started to speak, realizing the little gesture was not nearly enough.

“I wish that I knew what she was looking at,” You admitted, looking up into the face of the beautiful piece of artwork. “And how the marble looks like fabric, how you can see through it, it’s...”

“Breathtaking?” Diana responded. You nodded. That was the word that you had been struggling to find. It sounded more sincere coming from her lips. “Yes, I feel the same way. I’m often drawn to it as well.”

You both fell into a silence at that moment, looking at the sculpture. You wished that you could touch it, making sure that it really was stone. You didn’t even realize that you were leaning into the partition rope guarding it from people doing exactly that.

“Hey - stop-” The creepy security guard said, squeezing his way between you and Diana. “You know the rules, you can’t get close to the artwork.”

“I wasn’t going to do anything,” You started to argue back, but Diana interfered.

“You’re excused,” She said, lightly pushing the guard back. Still, it seemed to take him by surprise that he was being handled like that, and he stumbled backwards. He glared at her, and opened his mouth to retort, but she continued on. “And I will be speaking to your supervisor about this.”

“I was just trying to-”

“I’ve already put in a complaint about you,” You said, wanting to back up Diana, just as she was doing for you. “And I have the feeling that I am not the only person who did. I wasn’t going to touch it, especially not with the curator here. Please, do not touch me again.”

It was hard to keep in your temper, but he had been rather rude with you in the past. He once slid behind you in a crowd, his hand touching your bottom a little too roughly for it to have been an accident. You had put in the report, but as you had expected, not too much had happened. “As I said, you are excused,” Diana said, her eyes sharp as she stared the man down. He faltered, and walked away from his post, mumbling under his breath.

“Thank you. I’ve been a bit nervous to come back because of him,” You frowned at his retreating back.

“I’ll make sure that he never bothers you again,” Diana said, soothingly. “Are you alright?”

“I’m fine,” You said, bringing the smile back onto your face. “And so ready to finally enjoy the museum without him breathing down my beck. What is your favorite sculpture here?”

You were getting a tour from the curator herself, walking in her footsteps, taking in all of the information that she was giving you which wasn’t in the placards. You found yourself wishing you had brought a notepad so you could write all of this information down. She gave a much better tour than any of the tourguides or online tours that the Louvre provided.

“And that is all,” Diana said, after explaining the last statue. You had done a large lap, ending in front of your favorite once more. You clapped and felt very fortunate to have gotten such a personal tour.

And, well, very flattered as well that she had taken time out of her busy day to lead you around an exhibit you knew like the back of your hand. This woman was as beautiful as the sculptures themselves, so fine in form, so elegant in her movements. But there were a lot of differences between you and her that made you a little wary of getting rejected, if you did gather up the courage to ask her out.

You two turned to look at each other, both of you smiling. Her painted-red lips opened to say something. They formed your name when there came a loud announcement through the speakers around the museum. ‘Miss Prince, please return to your office, Miss Prince, please return to your office.”

“I’ve kept you for too long,” You said, realizing how much time exactly had flown by. At least two hours! You were just your average guest in the museum but you had taken up far too much of the curator’s time. Diana laughed, shook her head and lightly touched your shoulder. Her hand was well-manicured, warm. Exactly as you thought it would be. Her skin matched her laugh - sunshine.

“No, you haven’t,” She insisted. “I like your perspective on this art. On history. It is refreshing. We should talk more about this.”

“I’ll come back tomorrow,” You offered with a smile. She nodded enthusiastically, before waving her fingers at you and headed towards her office to get back to work.

-

And you did return, catching sight of Diana immediately. She was standing in front of the statue that was your favorite, which also now became your favorite meeting place. It was going to be a huge shame when the exhibit moves onto the next location. Diana had told you that it was Germany. The memories you had with these statues were almost enough for you to move along with it.

She was wearing an all white outfit, clean and completely pristine. She fit in wonderfully with all of the statues. “Good afternoon,” You said, walking up to her and stood next to her tall frame. The look that she gave you, the large smile, almost gave you a thought that maybe, just maybe, she admires you as much as you admire her. It gave you a sense of confidence, made your shoulders straighter, your chin a little higher.

“Hello!” She said, surprising you with a hug that you eagerly returned. “I had hoped you knew this was where I wanted to meet you!”

“Right in front of my favorite, I’m surprised that you remembered.”

“There is no way that I could have forgotten,” She said, ponytail swaying behind her back. “The many times that I saw you looking at it - I wish I could gift it to you.”

“Oh,” You said, eyes wide at the very thought. “No, something like this should be appreciated by everyone. That is the artist’s intention. And I would never want to mess with that.” You smiled, though, very flattered that she thought of something like that. “But I don’t wish to take up too much of your time today, you must have work to do.”

“I do,” She admitted, looking over shoulder. It was as if she was looking to make sure that there was no one around. Though of course there was. The Louvre was one of the most famous attractions in Europe, not just in France. There were plenty of people about. It was hard for you to notice most of them however, next to this very striking woman. “So I was going to ask you-”

“Excuse me,” A gruff man said, pushing his way past you. Despite the rule about no food or drinks in any of the halls, he must have snuck something in, since you felt a liquid go across your chest. The smell that rose from it told you that it was coffee. You gasped, as it was still hot, and immediately tried to stretch the fabric away from your chest.

“Security,” Diana said, holding her arm out to stop the man from going further. Two security guards, neither of them being the creepy man, came up and escorted the man to the security office, probably to fine him for bringing in drinks. But you were more focused on your shirt. At least it was warm, not scalding, you might be a little tender where it splashed but it didn’t look like any real burns.

“I guess this is a good excuse as any to buy something from the gift shop,” You said, trying to make it into a joke.

“Are you sure?” Diana said, examining your shirt with a frown. “I don’t know if those stains are going to come out - come with me.”

Rather than take you to the gift shop, she lead you past the restricted areas, to what was apparently her office. There were many books in here, many artifacts. It smelled of her perfume, delicate but enough to wrap around your senses.

She also had a closet, which she opened up and went through. You looked in awe at the amount of gowns that she had in there; there must be a thousand euros worth, at least! She went through them before picking out a blouse of her own, and holding it in front of you. “This may fit you,” She said, sizing it by eye then handed it to you.

“Oh, um, thank you,” You said, looking around, feeling slightly embarrassed. She pointed towards a door that blended in with a row of bookcases.

“You can use my bathroom,” She said, kindly. You thanked her once more, then ducked into it, closing the door gently behind you. It was a standard half-bath - just a toilet and a sink and a mirror. But it seemed to be well stocked with lavish perfumes. Like she highly separated her home life from her work life. You snorted to yourself as you took off your wet shirt, trying to imagine her in sweat pants. She would look like someone out of a gym commercial if she were to try to wear those.

But what you were thinking was she kept her dresses here, her fancy things here. Maybe she only went to extravagant events for work, but did something else in her down time? Did curators even have down time?

You wanted to know everything about her, especially what she was like when she wasn’t around the museum. You buttoned up the blouse that she was loaning you after drying yourself off with some toilet tissue, then set about trying to get the worst of the stain out in the sink. You managed to get most of the brown liquid off but it would still need a run or two through the wash, with real cleaning liquid and not hand soap.

You folded up your shirt and held it in your hands as you left the bathroom, returning to the office. Diana stood there, waiting for you while leaning back against her desk. The way that the sun filtered in through the windows, reflected off the white walls onto her face - magnificent. She straightened up when she saw you come out. “It fits, wonderful!”

“It does, thank you,” You said. “Do you have a bag that I could put this in?” You brought up the shirt that you had been wearing. “Oh, let me take care of that. I’ll get it cleaned, then return it to you. It’s the least that I could do.”

“You didn’t spill the coffee on me, Diana, it’s quite alright.”

“No really. I want to. Because then I can see you-”

There was a knock on the door and two seconds later, it opened to reveal a man with dark hair and brooding features. You recognized him from somewhere. It hit you within a moment though. Bruce Wayne, of American fame.

You also noticed the dark look that went over Diana’s face, and how her smile seemed to drop when she saw who it was. “Diana,” Bruce said, stepping inside.

“Bruce,” She said, in the same low voice.

“Am I interrupting?” He asked, looking over at you. You glanced between the two of them then smiled your best and brightest smile to try to bring light into the room again.

“Not at all,” You said, setting your folded shirt on top of one of Diana’s chairs. “But one more thing, Diana,” You felt a bit nervous about this part but if you didn’t sputter it out before you left, you knew that you were going to regret it. “I was wondering if you maybe wanted to get dinner sometime next week. To return shirts. If you’re not too busy, that is. If you are, I can just come back and-”

“Dinner sounds great,” Diana said, looking like someone had just turned on the lightbulb inside of her once more. That alone was more flattering than her acceptance, because you had done that. You turned around what Bruce’s visit was, though you still weren’t sure why he was here. “I’ve been trying to ask you for a while but everything just kept getting in the way.”

“I know what that’s like,” You said with a nod. You found a package of post it notes on her desk and scrawled down your name and number on the top sheet. “Call me?”

“Yes, yes I will,” She said with a nod. You bowed your head, gave a respectful smile to THE Bruce Wayne, then headed out of the door, closing it behind you. You didn’t walk away immediately but took in the smell of the shirt that you had borrowed. It had a hint of perfume to it, but it wasn’t strong. It had been washed since she had last worn it perhaps. But it was still faintly there.

The rest of your walk around the museum was not nearly as uneventful as it had been earlier, but as you walked home, your phone began to buzz in your pocket. Unknown number. Only one person that could be and it was a call you were very eager to take.

“I’m not going anywhere Mark, you’re the one who’s leaving” - y/n

Two weeks ago, on your usual evening run at the beach. That’s how you met him. It seemed surreal because you were just listening to his songs through your earphones.

Your first meeting seemed a tad familiar, like you’ve read it on a novel, or watched a similar scene in a movie. But nevertheless, it left a lingering effect on both of you. Especially on him, since he did not hesitate in asking for your number right away.

Which leads to a “friendly date” at a nearby gelato shop. Then, a series of lunches, and dinners, and you taking him to sightseeing and becoming his personal tourguide. No one would have guessed that you just met each other, because both of you could easily pass off as best friends.

It’s really not that hard to enjoy Mark’s company. He’s an interesting personality. The flawless switch between awkwardness to funny jokes that only he can pull off. You couldn’t believe how much he had exceeded the expectations you had from watching him on videos.

“You’re making it harder for me to leave, like- this, this is making me want to extend my break”.

He’s currently lying down beside you, arms behind his head. Your eyes is having a feast from seeing the beautiful shades of oranges from the sunset.

You turned your head to him, “says someone who works non stop for two whole years”

“You’re right, and it’s your fault now if I couldn’t concentrate on comeback preparations and instead think about doing this all the time”

“Great, now your fans are going to blame me for this”

“Hey ! you’re one of them too”

Well, he’s not wrong.

“How about this, you need to work hard on that album, so then you can go on tour again, and you get to visit so many places-“

He pouted, “but I only want to come here”

You narrowed your eyes at him, “and meet new people-“

“But I only want to see you”

You sighed, “is this your best attempt at flirting or what ?”

He wiggled his eyebrows, “well... what do you think ?”

You burst out laughing, “I think the first thing you need to do once you got back from your break is to take flirting lessons from Johnny or Jaemin”

“Right...”

“-or I could just tell Johnny that he’s your bias and have him practice his flirting skills on you and watch as you try to keep yourself calm”

You gasped and poked his sides, “you wouldn’t dare !”

He smirked, “oh you don’t know me that well, baby duck”

Yes. That’s the ever-so-precious nickname you’ve received from Mark. Baby duck. Because you always brought along your tiny rubber duck friend in your bag. It’s your favorite toy as a child and you always kept it close with you for comfort. Which Mark finds both endearing and adorable. So from the moment he knew about it, you became his baby duck.

“Don’t go anywhere will you ? I promise I’ll come back here again”

“I’m not going anywhere Mark, you’re the one who’s leaving”, you chuckled.

You noticed his silence and the change of mood. He seemed to be in deep thought. You wondered what’s going inside that mind of his.

“Hey, you okay there ?”, your voice softened at his expression.

He suddenly sat up, you following suit. Mark sighed, turning his head to face you. He studied your face for a moment, eyes stealing glances at your lips.

“Can I- uh...”, he lets out a deep breath, scratching the back of his neck nervously.

“Mark, what’s wrong ?”, you cautiously placed a hand on his arm.

He shook his head, “it’s nothing, I- I just... I’m gonna miss this place”

“-and you too”, he added.

You might have misheard it, but you were pretty sure you heard him mumble, “mostly you”

Zero One 04: Watch out for incoming lore!

(And for incoming Riders and rocket fists.)

So, I’ve been having a lot of trouble freeing up the brain power to actually, y’know, even get myself to watch this week. It’s not that I haven’t wanted to, it’s just that I’m completely drained. So, this might not go as in-depth as I have in the past.

On a lore episode.

Ah well.

––

We’re starting this episode off with a bang – almost literally. The trip Aruto and Izu are on is to observe Anna, a tourguide HumaGear. At first, he’s still having fun, because, y’know, it’s a bus tour.

And then Anna announces that they’re coming up to the site of a significant event.

Aruto’s excitement drops off.

He was there, after all.

In Daybreak Town.

(One of the young boys who is also on the trip grows just as serious, looking down in the same way Aruto is.)

––

It turns out that Daybreak Town was a collaboration between the Japanese government, Hiden Intelligence, and a number of other corporations to design a city run by HumaGears. It was also where they launched the satellite from, the one that controls them.

We get treated to a diagram of several of the company logos spreading across the city, implying that they each were in charge of a district, before a ‘blueprint’ of the satellite.

I don’t like the phrasing said blueprint uses for some of the data readouts. There’s “Core Unit”, which is fine. The two “M-Wheels” are probably short for Motion, and what keep it stable. The section labeled “Life Line” is a little concerning. And I really, really, wish that Toei had chosen literally anything else for the bottom one, which reads “Slave Analyzer.”

Like, I know this is a Japanese show, and the kids probably aren’t going to be able to read it, but their parents? MAYBE! And since we’re dealing with ‘robots’ who are slowly gaining sentience… yeah. I’m not comfortable with this at all.

ANYWAY. Let’s leave the sub-text issues, and into the real-text issues, shall we?

And it sure is an issue!

Like I mentioned before I got off track, the city was an attempt to design an urban center run by HumaGears, as well as all sorts of research projects, including the satellite.

But 12 years ago, there was an accident in the Research and Development sector. It’s shown as a wide view of the city, showing just how large the explosion was – and it was big. And bright blue. You know. The same type of blue flame that we see in Aruto’s flashbacks.

But the damage didn’t stay in R&D for long, and it spread to the power infrastructure. In the end, the entire city was wiped out.

Even 12 years later, nobody is allowed in.

––

Back in the present, we see Anna and the school tour (and Aruto and Izu) at a viewing platform, with a view of the lake that the city has become.

At one very smug looking students prompting, Anna explains that the theory is that the incident was likely caused by faulty maintenance.

Aruto looks away, remembering how Isamu had said that the truth was covered up, that HumaGears had gone on a murderous rampage.

Nobody sees a certain hooded not-Gremlin approach the bus driver, tapping on the window with a Zetsumeriser and Zetsumerise Key.

Two kids start mocking one of their classmates, the one who had gotten as serious as Aruto earlier, saying that it was his dad’s fault, because he was the one in charge of the factory. One of them says that his dad blew the whole thing up.

The bus explodes behind them.

The bus driver, the soon-to-be-overwritten Bāsu, pulls out his key and ‘transforms.’ I know that his name is basically ‘bus’, but Rider Wiki also romanizes it as ‘Burs’, which I can only assume is because of his incredibly massive sideburns. Like, dang, those are big.

But we don’t have Bāsu for much longer, because he becomes the Onycho Magia, based off of the Onychonycteris, the most primitive form of bat. Interestingly, it may have been diurnal. The fossil record is inconclusive so far, but it may not have had the adaptations to echolocate, or the enlarged eyes that nocturnal bats have.

Something I’ve noticed is that most of the species that have been used as Magia so far have something in common aside from all being extinct: They’re mostly comparatively recent discoveries, and there are very few fossils that have been found of them. Just something I thought might be worth noting for the future.

Also, Onycho has huge claws on his ‘normal’ hands and also on each finger of his wings – remember, bat wings are technically webbed hands. Those ridges are fingers. Onychonycteris had claws on each finger, unlike modern bats, who only have two or three.

As Aruto yells for the kids to get out of there, Jin sits on top of a retaining wall, kicking his legs idly, and asks Onycho – who can’t hear him, anyway – to kill some humans for him.

Whenever he says that to his Magia… that’s the only time he’s really serious. That’s the only time he drops the smile.

Interesting.

––

After the OP, which I love, we cut to Onycho pursuing the tour group through a wooded area, Aruto herding the kids along. One of them, the one who was being mocked earlier, trips. As Onycho catches up, Aruto prepares to transform – but doesn’t get to do more than pull out his belt before shots are fired  from another direction. He hurriedly hides it behind his back as Isamu and Yua show up on scene – somehow – and transform.

Of note, Isamu still has to force his Key open, and he’s still punching the bullet. Yua has no such issue, and just lets her armor form, before they go on the offensive.

She’s still quick and efficient, while he’s more of a wildcard whose primary mood is ‘gun.’

Onycho quickly gets out of range when he goes to hang upside down on a high branch, and then flies away. (There’s an ‘analyzing’ sound effect as Izu watches him fly off.)

The two agents detransform as they go up to Aruto, the boy, and the two functioning HumaGear. Isamu points out that ‘Oh, look, Hiden’s president is here. Again.’ But the boy, who’s been sitting on the ground, curls in on himself, saying something about wondering why this is happening to him.

Both Isamu and Aruto look at him in concern.

––

Back in Aruto’s office, we have Aruto, Izu, Anna, Isamu, and the boy. Said boy’s name is Sakurai Gou, and his father was one of the victims 12 years ago.

I can’t help but wonder just how many people died that day.

Especially when Gou says that people have always told him that it’s his fathers fault it happened. That’s an awful lot of weight on a teen’s shoulders. And, Isamu, I know you mean well, but I don’t think that’s quite the way to go about reassuring a kid that it’s not his dad’s fault. Usually, people don’t react well to someone saying that it was HumaGears, who were designed to kill.

Although, Gou seems to take Isamu’s claim that it was HumaGear who leveled the factory in stride.

Isamu, of course, doesn’t take Izu’s statement that ‘there are no records to back up his claim’ very well., yelling that it’s because it was covered up.

Anna points out that the consensus is that it was caused by faulty maintenance.

Aruto looks down as he wonders if the concensus is the same things as the truth.

Anna watches him, just like she’d watched Isamu during his claim that Daybreak happened because of the HumaGear.

––

Outside, Isamu and Gou are leaving, and Gou says that he wants to know the truth.

Isamu asks if he really feels that way, and when Gou nods… he says that he does, too.

“Hey, kid, want to go break into a secured area?”

––

Ohhhh, man, I like Serious Aruto.

He’s flat out interrogating Jun, asking what happened at their factory 12 years ago.

But all that Jun will say is that he can’t recall.

Anna and Izu both call him out on this – not activating their look-up functions, by the way. Anna asks why there’s no record of the HumaGear uprising. Which implies that she knows there was one, somehow. Izu says that a cover-up seems intentional.

Aruto knows he’s hiding something, the way that Jun is so nervous makes that pretty clear. And he’s not a comedic nervous, like we’d expect from his characterization in the first three episodes. No, he’s scared… and maybe ashamed. Especially given how, as he takes his leave, he says that ‘sometimes, the way business works means that you have to keep the truth in the shadows.’

So, there’s definitely at least one layer of cover-up here. Probably more than one, in fact. This is written by the same guy as Ex-Aid, after all.

––

Later on, Anna and Aruto – without Izu, it would seem – are basically confirming to each other that they want to find out the truth.

Anna is looking into this because, as a bus guide, it’s her duty to know the historical facts of her tour. It’s her duty to make sure the truth is known.

Aruto says that he guesses they’re going back to Daybreak Town then. After all, he’s the president. He can’t ignore an employee in need.

He’s not saying that he wants to know, too. Not out loud, anyway.

––

The next day, at the entrance to Daybreak Town, Gou and Isamu are… actually breaking into a secured area. I mean, it was a foregone conclusion, but I didn’t think they’d be this blatant about it. Isamu’s even got a huge bag with him, probably with some sort of camera equipment or something. They’re not alone, though, when Yua steps in front of the gate, asking what they think they’re doing.

What they think they’re doing is that they’re going to find the truth.

She sighs. She’s not going to be able to stop them, is she? So, Yua pulls out a grey Progrise Key, and offers it to Isamu. She does say that it’s ‘high performance’, and he probably won’t be able to use it. He asks why she’s giving it to him, then, which is a valid question.

Yua just warns him to not forget what his job is.

Isamu takes the Punching Kong key, tucks it into his suit jacket, and takes off his tie, smirking. “Actually, I’m off duty today.”

––

As Isamu and Gou are about to set out on an inflatable motorboat – which appears to somehow be what he had in that giant bag – Gou isn’t sure if they’ll really find anything by going out there, to which Isamu says that they’ll just have to try.

And then a bunch of Trilobite mooks come up – some of them still saying ‘intruder detected.’

See? This is what he means by a cover-up!

Isamu’s shooting some of them down, but one gets close to Gou-

And is tackled into the water by Aruto.

Isamu accuses him of being there to make sure they don’t see anything they aren’t supposed to, but Aruto shoots that down. (Heh.) He wants to know what happened, too.

Completely ignoring Izu’s protests about ‘protecting his secret identity,’ he pulls out his belt and stands next to Isamu.

“Do you want to die, get out of- wait what’s that belt?!”

Aruto, with his serious face on, promises, as Hiden’s president, that he’ll find the truth, and transforms.

Both Isamu and the Trilobites dodge the heck out of the way of that robot grasshopper – and yet he still can’t believe his eyes when he’s standing next to Zero One.

Aruto tells Anna to go with the two of them – it’s a tour guides job to make sure her guests get to their destination, after all. He takes over fighting the Trilobites, as they head out.

––

Ohhhh. I’ve just realized that comment I made earlier about the rarity of the species used for the Magia. I’m making a separate post right now, but I’m copy-pasting it in.  

The skeletal design of all the Magia isn’t just to make it easier to repurpose the suits - it’s because they’re all using extinct creatures as their base. They’re all fossils, themselves.

The main Magia, the corrupted ones with powers, are all powered by creatures that have relatively few examples in the fossil record.

The mooks, however, are Trilobites. This doesn’t just allow the anonymity factor with the shell acting as a mask.

Trilobites are incredibly common, and as such, make the perfect option for a swarm of faceless cannon fodder.

––

In the flooded ruins, Isamu, Gou, and Anna make their way to what used to be the control room of the factory, where Gou’s father worked.

It’s also where the explosion started.

Why… is Anna the one searching for things to help them find the truth? She explicitly says that she will look. That’s odd.

And why would the control room be where an explosion started? Why not, say, the factory floor, or a lab, or a test area?

Why the control center?

––

On the shore, Zero One handily dispatches the Trilobites with a Shark-powered Slash finisher. Much like his Impact finishers, it involves the sword summoning a giant hecking row of sharks teeth.

I love this seasons fights.

And here comes Onycho, swooping in with energy spheres to blast our hero back. Aruto tries to jump after him, to bring him down to the ground, but he can’t jump high enough on command to catch up to someone who’s continuing upward, and misses.

As he picks himself up, Izu throws him a Brand New Toy Progrize Key, which fortunately he catches. Y’know, unlike the unfortunate incident with the Attache Calibur in episode one.

WING

When the robo-bird is beamed down, it attacks Onycho for a while, before Aruto finally uses the key. And there are bright pink feathers fluttering around whenever it hits, too, which is really cool!

Fly to the sky! Flying Falcon!

Spread your wings and prepare for a force.

…We’re never going to see this form again.

Not with how Zero One immediately rises into the air, and doesn’t even try to land as he and Onycho start an aerial fight over the lake, swooping around the buildings, firing attacks, Aruto streaming pink and yellow energy effects with every movement.

This thing requires far too much CGI for us to see it more than… I’d say about one more time in-show, and maybe in one of the movies. Maybe.

This is GataKiriBa all over again.

Also, as he’s flying around, Izu waves, wishing him a safe trip.

Izu, I love you.

––

In the office, Gou’s given up. He can’t find anything… it must have been his fathers fault after all. Why bother looking any further?

…son of a- Toei named this kid Gou on purpose, didn’t they? I was initially thinking, ‘oh, hey, they’re reusing names, that’s nothing new.’ And then I just remembered that ‘Oh, right, the main Gou’s father actually was to blame for the robot uprising in Drive!’

Anyway, significant name reuse aside, the kid’s surrendered, but Isamu encourages him to keep looking.

And then the Trilobites show up. Even as he’s fighting them, Isamu keeps giving small!Gou a pep talk. It can’t have been his fathers fault, it was the HumaGear! So if you don’t believe in him, who will?

Isamu, I get it, but, uh, maybe don’t take this much of this particular trait from Mach? The one where you say that a human can’t have be to blame, it’s the out of control robots? I’m just saying. I doubt this kids father in particular was to blame, but I’m pretty sure at least one human was very heavily involved in what happened here.

Looking at you, Grandpa Hiden. You are very much not above suspicion.

Isamu’s statement, as he is getting very beaten up, that “if you stop now, it’s all over, so raise your head and keep going’ seems to be as much to himself as it is to Gou.

And he’s getting very beaten up, so he pulls out the Punching Kong key.

I’m pretty sure that not only did Yua not unlock it, he’s also opening them wrong. I know that’s just a joke theory at this point, but it really looks like he’s actively blocking the part that swings out when he’s holding the keys, so I think he’s making it worse on himself.

Whoops.

It’s still not fair that his transformation is this cool. This time, instead of punching the bullet dead on, he backhand punches it. Because why not.

Punching Kong!

Enough power to annihilate a mountain.

…Huh. The keys that Vulcan and Valkyrie use don’t have the pre-announcements that Zero One’s keys do. Like, he has the whole ‘fly to the sky’ for Flying Falcon, and the ones for Rising Hopper and Biting Shark, but there’s no such announcement for the three AIMS keys. Interesting.

As Vulcan starts wailing on the Trilobites, Gou takes his advice to keep going forward to heart, and starts looking again. Good thing he looked right in front of him, because he finds an SD card with the Hiden Intelligence logo on it.

According to Anna, it’s the memory chip for an older model of HumaGear. She inserts it into one of her earpieces to start reading the data.

…Maybe you shouldn’t be doing that in the middle of a battle area? I’m just saying. Maybe, you know, wait until you guys are out of there?

Yeah, see? Aruto and Onycho crash in through a wall, and the Magia fires off a set of cables, overtaking Anna. Nobody is okay with this, least of all Anna.

Who is fighting back. She lasts longer than any of the other Trilobite transformations we’ve seen. The overhaul completes, and ‘she’ goes after Gou, grabbing him by the neck… and as Vulcan aims his ShotRiser in her direction, she stops, and her ear pieces start flashing between the hacked red and their native blue.

…wow…

“Now p-playing… f-footage from-”

She activates her ear pieces to play the security footage. And it is still Anna in there. She’s fading fast, but she’s still there. She is so intent on seeing this through… I hate to say this, but Anna would have made an excellent Magia, wouldn’t she?

––

The footage is absolutely heartbreaking.

Gou’s father, Sakurai Satoshi, is in his office, lit by red emergency lights. He’s recording a last message.

“All HumaGear in the factory have gone berserk! The factory is likely going to explode. All the employees should have evacuated, so…”

The monitors are overtaken with static, and the regular displays are hijacked to play a message. A shadowed figure with rectangular yellow eyes stands in front of a purple background, with the logo of metsubojinrai.net in black.

He’s declaring their war against humanity, their intent to destroy the town and annihilate all humans.

But Satoshi says he won’t let that happen. He refuses.

He pushes one of those big red buttons, the ones that should never need to be pressed, closing all gates. He’s sealing all the HumaGear inside… as well as himself. As the head of this factory, he will take responsibility for making sure they are destroyed.

As the emergency alert continues to sound, calling for evacuation, he takes off his microphone headpeice, and all but falls into a chair.

“Gou…”

The scene is covered in flames, before the footage cuts out.

––

As Anna’s hand falls from where she was projecting, she manages to say – without any of the usual broken stutter – that the database is being updated with regards to Daybreak Town. She slumps down, inactive.

Aruto is quiet as he says that Gou’s father was a hero.

Isamu is quiet, trembling with rage, as he says that this wouldn’t have happened if HumaGear didn’t exist. He prepares his finisher.

Why does he get such AWESOME FINISHERS?!

The default Punching Kong finisher? The ‘Punching Blast’?

It’s rocket fists. He literally shoots his gun – and by that, I mean the fists of his armor turn into rockets, going after Onycho, pushing him through three levels of ceiling and out into the sky, where they go right through him.

As the fire from the explosion channels down the GIANT HOLE IN THE CEILING, the fists return and reattach to his armor.

Yo.

Isamu seems… I don’t know if determined is quite the right word? But he’s almost calm as he tells Aruto that AIMS will be confiscating the HumaGear (Anna) and analyzing it’s (her) memory to uncover the truth behind Daybreak-

A spike lands in her back as he says this, and she glows purple, before… well, I hate to phrase it like this, but she basically pops. I wish that wasn’t the sound effect they used, but it’s a dissolving sound effect combined with a balloon bursting. She’s turned into motes of purple light, and is gone.

Aruto and Isamu – still transformed, mind you – run over to where she was, confused.

…The spike didn’t glow, but we didn’t see it after the light passed.

––

A figure in purple, with a yellow belt and rectangular eyes on his helmet walks away, and removes his progrise key from his belt, detransforming into Horobi.

Jin bounces behind him, calling him cold for doing that.

Horobi doesn’t change his neutral expression much as he says that it would cause too much trouble if anyone found out about the Arc. Or, maybe it’s supposed to be Ark? It’s hard to say. But he smirks at the end, before he and Jin walk away.

Well, Horobi walks. Jin is skipping.

––

The next day, we see that the news is reporting on how Hiden Intelligence released new information on Daybreak, showing that the incident wasn’t what was on the record, and that they had obtained footage of those final moments.

Gou’s classmates apologize to him, for being so mean, but he seems okay with it. (He probably wouldn’t have been so determined to find out what happened if they hadn’t been.) As the news report, given via those giant heli-drones, ends, they head off to school.

Aruto watches them from a pedestrian bridge, and Isamu walks up to him and Izu.

“So, you really meant it when you said you wouldn’t cover anything up.”

“And you wouldn’t have known what happened if you had destroyed Anna right away.” Aruto smiles gently, before the comedian sound effects start kicking in. Oh no.

The Awful Pun Of The Day as Aruto flips up his hood is something involving being a ‘hood guy’, or telling Izamu not to ‘sweater it.’

Apparently, the original pun is a combination of the phrase for being indebted to someone, but part of the phrase also contains the term ‘to wear’, as in clothes, so he’s saying this while putting on his hood.

Aruto, please.

Isamu trembles while he’s still facing Aruto, and walks away as Izu starts explaining the joke. Aruto’s desperate attempts to get Izu to stop doing that mean that he doesn’t hear as Isamu almost lets a laugh escape, even while desperately trying to regain his composure.

Isamu’s willpower fails during the closing screen, and we hear him laughing as the Flying Falcon and Punching Kong Progrize Keys show up on screen.

––

Oh, nooooo, the next episode looks like it’s about relegating entire tasks to HumaGear, and also about passion for one’s work.

You know, getting heated.

And Izu’s line in the trailer actively asks if humans have trouble regulating their temperature if they get too passionate.

In the episode where Zero One’s fire form debuts.

Oh boy.

––

So, that’s episode four! I guess I still wound up going pretty in-depth, huh?

Man, the aesthetic of this show. It’s really cool, and I love the music, too.

Zero One really isn’t shying away from the ethics of what’s going on here, is it? And it’s not dodging the terrifying backstory, or putting it off until later.

I hope they can keep this momentum going!

ji is heading back to kr from cebu before bp concert

but I still have to bring this tea up

first of all what kind of tourguide (i am assuming ur friends bro is a local?) is a huge kpop fan?? Are you telling me the guide saw ji, knew who he is and EVEN KNOW he had a dating scandal and decided to ask him about it specifically...

really?

oh okay if hes a kpop fan thats even more shady, is he a jk shipper? if he is, it means he definitely would know jxk broke up right. Who as a decent human being will ask about a stranger guy's ex assuming that ji could be extremely sad from the break up if the rs was ever real.

If i see a friend and I heard about the break up news I wont go like oh hows ur ex r u still dating her lol. id just keep my mouth shut, or ask if my friend is doing okay recently.

secondly, do you expect us to believe that without recipets

thirdly, would ji casually say something that opposes sm's confirmation statement and spill all the beef and tea to a random tourguide he probably don't trust on a personal level?

ji will get in huge trouble if he says something that doesnt align with sm's statements.

how delusional are jk shippers to keep this farce up.

and lastly, no matter how many of you WISH romantic ji will oh so regret the breakup chase after jni for another chance / they secretly keep dating... ok guys time to really wake up not just pretend woke.

ji is in cebu not manilla. ji has been public about this vacay, he is not going against company's confirmation of their breakup and meet an ex in secret.

nothing makes sense. accept they 'broke up' (or accept they were never real). tbh idec if jk shippers keep shipping them. just dont bash us and pretend all woke when you guys make pregnant and spill shit to tourguide rumours.

[innerworks-asks]

Non chap (more good news)

So I forgot to post this here??

Whoops!

---

Ok guys sorry it's been so long but I'm still alive!

My back got a bit messed up thanks to a very rude and impatient tourist (life) and I was stuck in and out doing check ups to make sure that my spine didn't y'know die.

Thank fully it was some minor bruising but like, I didn't stop working during any of the check ups??? ^_^'

Like I didn't have the time to?

Ok ok so

If I hadn't mentioned it before, I'm a general tourguide, but since I'm on an island, I take people out to snorkel our Barrier reef (it's the second largest in the world!)

I guide them, point out the interesting creatures, give my people facts and such about their habitats, behaviors and the like.  So yeah I work as a Marine tour guide (but I have training for terrestrial aswell).

I'm also been getting up and ready for my Dive Master training (under the company I'm working with) but I've got one more speciality to get there, the Rescue Diver. In the meantime I help our guests gear up and get them in the water before following behind, either practicing my leading skills or trailing the Dive Master / Instructor. (So basically boat crew that gets to go on the dive lol)

And unfortunately for me, helping out that particularly rude and impatient tourist, who was a diver btw ended messing my back up with the tank becuase he was too impatient to put the gear on sitting down. Ya girl had to lift his tank and bcd(the dive jacket) which had his weights inside the pockets (as if the damn thing wasnt heavy enough).

But I didn't complain, I was very professional,  I simply helped him into the water  and geared myself up jumping in behind and proceeded with the tour in silent agony. (Cried like a mfo when I got home tho)

Anyway the tours, both snorkeling and diving have been going out every day for like 2 to 3 times a day with large groups of people, usually Highscool kids or college students on like a high end school trips.

I haven't been able to write becuase I've been so damn busy (and in pain) but mostly busy. To top it off the big project, ok one of the big projects I assisted in, was finally completed on the 27th of July.

It was a program that basically got the local children starting from 12 and up to get a chance to be a PADI open water certified scuba diver for free.

And that certification card lasts a life time!

It's a annual summer camp type program called the KIDS IN ACTION. This was the 9th one and it was most definitely a success!

All the Dive Instructors, who took their time out of their busy jobs to volunteer for the cause, dive shops that loaned us gear and tanks, and the kids themselves learning and enjoying the entirety of the program, it was hard work but well worth it! We got to video and their progress and display it up on their graduation day, home video style, so they could see how far they've come. There were tons of laughs and high fives, jabs and jokes but most of all the proud and happy faces of the kids themselves and their parents who came to support them.

I can't wait till next year to help out again.

Continuing now with the good news.

I'm heading to my University for the first time for Orientation.

I'm traveling tomorrow to reach with my auntie, where I'll be staying when the school year officially starts.

See the thing is, General Orientation is on the 31st, so I leave tomorrow. But Faculty Orientation is on Aug 7th and 8th. So I'm just staying with Auntie till the 9th.

On the 10th and 17th of August  I'm presenting and teaching a course about Mangroves and reef conservation to a new group of Marine biologists. They've done all their book work so it's time for the actual water works for them. It's a bit trippy becuase I'm basically teaching people that have a higher degree than I do and they should actually know this stuff, so I really gotta step up my game and make sure I don't screw up.

(Not exactly good for my anxiety lmao, wish me luck y'all)

I'll be back home on island from the 9th until the 18th. (Excluding my presentations of course)

Classes start on the 19th.

So between then (the 11th to the 16th to be more specific) expect the chapter. I'll make sure it's long and angsty I promise, cliff hanger included I swear!

I've just been so busy but it's really paid off!! Heres how things got awesome. Remember how I was checking for a scholarship? Well one of the Dive Instructors found out about my assistance in the Kids in action program and the other project and heard that I was going for my bachelor's in Marine Biology-

Guys, I got  a scholarship!

It's like a major weight got pulled off my chest. (Maybe a bit more placed on my shoulders cause maintaining a 3.25 GPA sounds scary, but I'll manage... I hope)

Anyway sorry about the ramble but I'm super excited and super nervous and I really really wanted you guys to know why the update is taking forever and a half.

But don't worry, the Angst train is coming, next stop...pain. ;)

There's too many to list, but here's 10 off the top of my head. Maybe one will appeal.

Breathing Space: Sci-Fi (Space Western), Various. Same-world anthology featuring interesting stories from around the solar system in the early days of space travel. Mix of hopeful, horrific, tragic, hilarious, all fun and building the overall world. On the off chance episode 1 doesn't convince you, listen to episode 2 before you bail.

InCo: Sci-Fi. A seemingly cool (perpertually stressed) information trader and her peppy bot are thrown off-schedule and into more political intrigue than they bargained for when they rescue a boy floating in space.

Life With Althaar: Sci-Fi, Comedy. A human repairman moves to a space station on the edge of human territory that is perpetually on the edge of self-destruction, and ends up with a less-than-ideal last-minute roomate. Althaar is polite, friendly, deeply interested in human culture, and eager to be friends. Unfortunately he belongs to a species that sends humans into a visceral panic at a glance.

Maps of the Lost: Supernatural, Weird, Various. Tourguide to the strange, magic surreal etc around Britain. A few short entries each episode about the people, places, events you may wish to see, or avoid.

Modem Prometheus: Supernatural, Horror, Urban Fantasy?. Anthology of "modern folktales" all set in the same city, loosely connected. Good writing, and it's fun to see the threads connect.

The Moon Crown: Horror (Cosmic, Supernatural), Surreal, Sci-Fi Elements. Disgraced former transcriber Lou borrows a radio to recount the various horrific choices she did and didn't make to lead her to where she is now. Starting with abducting a vampire. Neat soundwork and a healthy dose of Fillipino folklore.

The Pale: Weird, Supernatural Elements. A reporter on an Antarctic cruise begins collecting the stories of bizzare things happening to the other passengers.

Tell No Tales: Supernatural, Horror Elements. Audio diary of Leo Quin, assistant to the director of Better Place, a ghost removal service, and company that Leo's determined to take down from inside. Their weapon of choice? Interviews, as soon as they can get their audio recorder to capture the voices of the ghosts.

The Vesta Clinic: Sci-Fi. Medical reports from Vesta's newest doctor (and the clinic's AI) on various her patients, human and otherwise. Good blend of creative alien design and personal stories in a cozy setting.

The Weird: Comedy, Supernatural Horror, Tabletop. Tabletop (though streamlined to remove irrelevant chatter) following two agents for the US Department of Weird in the 1990s and their shitty ford fiesta, as they head out across the country to investigate reports of strange sightings and encounters.

Fiction Podcast and Audio Drama folks! What hidden gems are you listening to right now? I need reccs!
