#' yeah i'm screwing over the security service'
Note
Okay so, how exactly do Password Managers work?
Because I'm pretty sure that giving some random corporation all my passwords would just make it EASIER for my personal info to get leaked.
I mean it is genuinely complicated; I don't know if you saw my explanation about dominoes yesterday, but basically you're not giving the company your information. You are creating an account with a company and they are handing you a tool that is extremely securely encrypted to store your passwords in. The company never has access to your passwords, or to the key you use to unlock your account. What they have access to is the cryptographic hash of your key to prove that it is you trying to access the account, but they can't reverse engineer the key that you use.
It's the same sort of process that encrypted email services like ProtonMail use. It's zero-knowledge storage. All that the password manager company is storing (in the case of a good password manager like Bitwarden) is up to 1gb of encrypted data for free users. They don't have access to your information. They couldn't get into it if they wanted to. All that they know about you is whatever information you used to register for the service and broad information about creation of the account.
Part of the reason that I recommend Bitwarden is that it is both open source and pretty widely used and recommended.
Open source security products are often considered more secure than closed-source tools because they can be examined and tested at the source-code level by *anyone* to check for vulnerabilities and holes in the security. Functionally what this means is that you have very smart, very motivated, and very security-conscious people testing products like Bitwarden for flaws and reporting them immediately.
I'm not great at explaining cryptographic hashing so I'm in a position where basically all I can tell you is "Trust me it works, and if that's not enough you have to go do some reading about hashing because I can't explain it." This is the barrier that a LOT of people have to using a password manager, and it's frustrating because genuinely, it is not something that people who work in security worry about *at all.*
When we're working with security the concern about password managers is *never* that a zero-knowledge company is going to have a leak. The concern is that data might actually be stored in plaintext (something you don't have to worry about with bitwarden because if that was the case everyone on the forums would be screaming their heads off at all times, and they are not) or that a phishing campaign is going to trick a user into handing over their password to the password manager.
But yeah, when you start using a good password manager with zero-knowledge storage, you aren't handing your data to a company. What's happening is that the company is handing YOU a tiny safe. The tiny safe has a ten-thousand-digit combination lock that you set the code for, and the company has no way of figuring out that code. They're hoping that you will pay them for the safe. And if you forget your code, you're screwed - the company can't get you access because, again, they have no way of getting the code. They don't store it, they don't see it, they don't know it, they can't produce it if ordered to do so at trial, and they can't reset the code.

ensemble stars characters as things i experienced on a cruise to mexico
i'm waiting for a flight that i'm ten hours early for so here's some rare 鬼畜 text content . incorrect quotes and imagined scenarios, long post under the cut
starting off with some incorrect quotes
rei: can you walk?
eichi: i think so, i'm much more energetic nowadays-
rei: no you're not. shiratori-kun, get him a wheelchair, we're skipping all the lines at the airport
-
eichi, getting physically patted down by tsa in a small dark room because his wheelchair couldn't go through the full-body scanner and it was too much physical effort to stand up: this is all sakuma-kun's fault
-
aira: tenshouin-senpai! you almost left your louis vuitton designer scarf at the security checkpoint! what if someone had stolen it?!
eichi: thank you, shiratori-kun! but it's fake

You have any headcanon about the cupcake pan and glasses in Sun’s room
Context
This video https://youtu.be/kMysHC7Wemo 18:02
(doesn't need to see the video cus I know exactly what you mean)
Yeah.
In my fanfic.
loooooooool.
But to make a long story short.
Vanessa.
Like... There are several AR emails from Luis, and even if a lot of them didn't get released in AR.
The name Luis DOES come up in Security Breach in Vanessa's therapy tapes.
Which leads me to believe that these emails are things that Luis has sent her...
And I'm quite confident the cupcake tin and possibly the glasses belong to Vanessa specifically. There are like over ten of these Luis sends to Vanessa, but I'm just showing the important ones:
Moon and Vanessa always have a strange relationship. As in... Moon is the only one who directly reported to her in-game. He actively punched Freddy and dragged him to parts and service where Vanessa was waiting for him.
Moon is also the one to automatically kill the Player if you decide to "go check the main stage" near the end of the game like she suggests. And before the patch, when you died, a mission objective came up that says "Plan A"
Sure, all the animatronics listen to Vanessa, but with Moon, it always feels far more direct. Probably cause the Glamrocks just kinda all roam the place, and Vanessa as an NPC summons them to attack, but they don't seem to have something specific like Moon bringing Freddy directly to Vanessa does.
there's also broken glass in Sun and Moon's room, and that is a huge red flag to me because of this:
Not to mention, There is a questionable model, that COULD be a thumb screw, but we don't know for sure... Which is also a red flag, because...
Do I think Vanessa is living in Sun and Moon's room?
No. Not necessarily.
Do I think that she tells the Daycare Attendant to hold things for her?
Absolutely.
and if Vanessa is Vanny, there are two spots in the game with Vanny Graffiti where a bed is....
Actually that's another thing... If Vanny IS Vanessa, then there's even more connections to Vanny and Moon on top of the Vanessa thing.
In the Burntrap Room, there is Graffiti on the Wall of a Vanny Head. Next to that, is a bed, with Moon's star pattern on it.
Along with another copy of the Arcade Machine of Balloon Boy World. A mini-arcade game which I'm sure the Fnaf fans know houses "Eclipse" in Sun and Moon's room.
What does this mean for our Boys?
I don't know.
But they have a lot of connections to Afton via the Dancing Rabbit Lady and Security Guard then a lot of people want to admit, and I think that we should keep our eyes open in RUIN for those connections.

I'm not sure where I'm remembering this from, can you tell me if it's a thing: I got the idea somewhere that there's some indication or implication that the chaos gods treat beastmen less badly than they do humans or other species? As in, they tend to get less randomly mutated horribly, less screwed over, that sort of thing. Like the gods have something approximating affection for them, relatively speaking?
In Fantasy, which is their most prominent showing, it’s not that they’re not mutated as much out of affection; it’s that they’re basically ignored. Mutation is often the result of a god doing something to you as a way of trying to reward you. Beastmen are a chaos race; they are wholly loyal to the dark gods. The gods very literally do less directly to them overall because they don’t need to. Beastmen are inherently a result of chaos corruption/mutation, and will do anything the gods tell them to.
The gods like to give gifts and boons to entities that they want to solidify the loyalty of, or gain the soul of. Humans, for example, tend to receive lots of gifts and mutations from the gods, because their loyalties tend to shift more, and the gods like to entice them or secure their service. Beastmen are actually deeply jealous of chaos warriors for this reason.
They also usually don’t distinguish overly between the “kindness” of “gifts”. God might give you a cool sword. God might turn your arms into screaming mouths. Both have merit to the god. The most direct beneficial and punitive mutations are doled out fairly rarely amongst all races, but Beastmen receive both a lot less because, again, it doesn’t matter as much as far as the gods are concerned.
So yeah, definitely not affection. Apathy.

Let's catch up, shall we?
So... sometime Tuesday I came down with a migraine from hell. I attributed it to looking up at the fireworks the night before and working front desk that morning. Well, Wednesday that migraine progressed into a full body flare of every symptom I have. My skin broke out in hives, I couldn't hold down any food or water, every single inch of my skin hurt and my joints literally burned.
I spent all day Wednesday in the hospital due to a kidney infection that put my autoimmune system into hypersensitive setting. I got iv fluids and antibiotics and figured I could just go home and deal with the rest of my issues from there. Honestly, I'm a veteran to the kidney issues, so I generally just self care once I get the antibiotics to kick the crap.
That was the wrong idea. I went back to the hospital that night and was admitted. I got out late yesterday afternoon.
When I came home, I got the mail. A large envelope from social security letting me know I "do not qualify for disability under the definitions of disabled conditions, and there is no reason why I can't find suitable work given my conditions." Weird, because every single thing I've been diagnosed with, and continue getting diagnosed with, are all listed in their qualifying disorders. The disability advocate group that took on my case probono seems to think they can help me out, so it just means i get to wait til we appeal and battle it out. At least I have someone to help, and they aren't trying to stick their hand out for profit.
I had to work this morning. Don't know why when the majority of the morning was spent watching the boss train the new chick how to do morning routines. Oh well, it's $44, and right now, that's a whole lot.
The boyfriend has a problem and we are headed to the cherokee nation hospital where he has coverage to get his shit checked out. It's a hard thing to talk about as a dude, but... he's had a lump on his testicles and has played off like no big deal. Until it became a painful lump, and now it's looking like an emergency surgery to repair some damages. He's done Jiu-jitsu and mma for the last 17 years, at the very least. The amount of damage he's taken to that area, well, it likely contributed to the issue thats going on. Anyway, the local dr didn't want him to waste any time getting this figured out, so, that's what's next.
I'm working tomorrow. My daughter lost her job and smashed her phone in the same day, so her luck is about like mine. I feel so bad for her, but what can I do??? I told her if she could make the drive here, she could have one of my older samsung phones. But, as it is, gas isn't cheap and her car hasn't had an oil change in FOREVER.
If I played the lottery, I'd be praying to get just a tiny chunk of the win, like $6k. Enough so I could pay my bills, stock my fridge, take care of my daughter so she isn't without a phone, pay for my son's gym membership (the best mental health the kid could ask for), get my truck serviced, and maybe buy some new fucking underwear.
The irs owes me around $10k over 3 years in returns. Like... 2 years of the returns were filed late, and I get that they are short staffed. But, how entirely awful is it to know that I've got that kind of money out there, but I can't touch if til the irs deems it worth their time. Imagine the penalties I'd pay if I owed them money for years??
Oh yeah... and since I was in the hospital, the orthopedic dr put off my appointment for another week. I've been sneaking my arm out if the splint from time to time over the last 2 days...my skin couldn't handle the restriction while I was so sick. The nurses that were doing my iv screwed up so bad, I have 9 bruised punctures up and down my arm. They only had the one arm to abuse thanks to the splint. But, I look like hell. I don't even know how I'm gonna dig out of this shithole.
Here's hoping for some good news to roll in. I could use a silver lining.

2.10 - The Abduction
Sydney is retelling her mission-with-parents related experience to Will and Francie walks in and expresses that they're acting weirdly lately whenever she walks into the room as if she's interrupting something. Sydney has also given Will his S.O.P. since his research was approved by the CIA, but he needs to pass a certain test in order to be proven as trust-worthy or normal or sans risky as an asset to them or something somethin'... Syd also apparently arranged for her mother to be able to get fresh air on the building rooftop twice a week and they meet there. As Irina tells a little about her past, KGB and her regrets, feeling like Sydney has turned out to be far more relevant than any ideology... whatever... Irina lies all the time just like any opportunistic sociopath and even at this point where I know how things are gonna get down, it really feels weird since the acting is seemingly aimed at showcasing a sincere, profound moment for both of them, knowing that it's impossible to form a balanced, static opinion on a character so well-written, wonderfully played and complex and even know for sure if she's being honest or not. I guess she is. Yeah, 'was gonna write that they almost have a daughter/mother moment where they hug but the security on the rooftop starts yelling, pointing weapons, they move away from each other obeying the marshalls' orders. It feels abrupt and great at the same time. It's well directed too. Earlier seasons really invest most of the budget properly, safe to say huh.
Sloane, on the other hand, is pissed - of course - since the first venture of his and Sark went awry and the air strike destroyed the Rambaldi artefact", so he believes. Oh, Sark believes that and as he's being tied and semi-gagged (can't explain, dunno, don't care). Sark makes a point (actually, he doesn't) which will be of great service to Sloane in his proceedings with going rogue and handling things his way later on. Oh, the point being is the one that Sloane has been aware of since I really don't know and can't tell when. That the leak of information that screwed the mission (SD-6 perspective, d'oh) could have come from the very office of SD-6. Whoa! Didn't see that one coming. So, Julian... does he really think that Syd works for the SD-6 under the impression that they're the good guys and underestimates her intelligence so much, even given the information he could have easily acquired, Danny and all...? He knows about Jack already and with the oddity the three of them are , it should have crossed Sark's mind that Syd could be just as efficient in handling her own agenda in all of this, like Jack and Irina. I guess Faye Dunaway will take the stage soon. This episode does feel more focused, in the loop, linear and also refreshing somehow. Oh, that past mission was in Kashmir. How very insignificant to me.
Sydney and Vaughn behind that parking garage whatever-lookalike fence, green-ish, terrible effect over the screen - yuck... not even possible to make fan art with it - unusable crap that looks good only in black and white. Anyway, this is taking place after a meeting in the SD-6 office. Sark is sitting with the rest of them. Yeah. Again. Sark is sitting with the rest of them. He gives looks across the table and it's cute how he just looks briefly at Marshall and he feels uneasy about it. That whole Echelon dreck is all the rage now and Sloane is giving his deceitful pro-USA talk, quick blah blah this and that. It's some crap that Syd and Sark are sent to Paris for. How very unromantic for the unfortunate two.
But I'm fine with Julian, so... Just wish there was more to work with instead of him being complacently predictable in his role, regardless of how excellent he is. He gets boring fast and there is seriously no progress with his character. His screen time is noticeably overrated considering how he's more of a semi-regular and comes across as rather flat and underdeveloped, a very common tragedy for many characters in Alias. Syd and Sark head off to Paris, Marshall unknowingly hints at the fact that he'll be on a mission pretty soon, Vaugh is headed to meet with Will and help him prepare for psych evaluation. The score used for Paris is great, but the scene will probably end up being too short, not using the opportunity to also bring some Alias magic to the mix.
Unbelievable! Why even bother with the opening credits? They're not even serving the purpose of opening credits. This is one of the best proofs of how tedious they are with sabotaged attention span and inability to separate more relevant from less relevant episode material. 17 minutes and 41 seconds - and here they decide it's a good idea to just drop by with the opening credits. Why not just put actors' names when the episode begins, quit forcing that irritating introduction which is of no use neither to fans nor viewers that just happened to jump in later on as the series progressed? "Previously on" is also quite off since the episode that comes after it has three or four separate or intertwined arcs that either go somewhere or kinda don't. They just don't know when what's delivered isn't nearly enough and of course, when too much is drastically over-the-top kind of too much. They excel at taking themselves seriously while bombarding you with ridiculousness and suspending belief, keeping you distracted, interchangeably uninterested and enthused and displaying complete disregard for focus and television format. I won't stop repeating myself. They love preparing a perfect game just to turn it into a nightmare of an event by jumping the shark. Getting self-defeating quite a lot.
Sloane introduces Jack to Ariana Kane (Faye Dunaway) and the two of them display quite some chemistry straight away. Sydney is hanging out with Will in the city but they happen to be just where Vaughn and Alice were headed. The four share an awkward meet'n'greet moment and Syd leaves with Will looking back at Vaughn, coping that her meant-to-be simply isn't (yet) and Vaughn looks back to look at Sydney after she turned around. So, now this will present itself as a problem since they were all seen together, as Will meeting Vaughn out in the open never happened and Vaughn and Sydney being close to each other time after time in public, avoiding eye contact, even though their recurring proximity can be a big red alert for SD-6. But, different scenery during daytime is fine by me when the alternative is that fence parking lot garage spot that feels like a place for junkies to crash or squat... SD-6, Sark in the briefing room as well yep yep, and Sloane giving the everboring latest mission specifics to Sydney. Already forgot where she's heading. Probably London. But the episode is really great so far - a lot has already happened and I think I remember where this is going. Also, this was way back waaaay back when Alias was really a big hit (still don't know all the factors that were responsible for this tv show to turn into an international success, but glad it was one and that I’m still a part of this experience). F-U-A-R-K, I was writing down everything happening in each episode when season one first started airing in my country. Weird kid. Fandom folk be fandom folk.
Hahaha, it's not fences and stuff at some parking lot underground place, it's basically fenced inside some underground storage place, probably a CIA handler/agent safe zone. Blah blahs taking place are that the crux of this issue is SD-6 aiming at Echelon, which would be massively dangerous if they scored a victory with that mission, having something like that in their hands which would make the dreadful Alliance even a bigger threat than they are right now. Marshall needs to go with Sydney because there's no way to do a crucial part of the task without someone skilled and brilliant as himself helping out from a very remote location. Sark is supposed to give Marshall the what's what in order to be field rated (huh? WTH?) and now the only option the CIA is left with is to have a team extract Marshall once the mission is over and get him out of SD-6. Promising and not a good way of teasing the audience, by the way, since I already know that he's gonna end up with that idiotic Dr. Lee with his mouth and teeth obsession, torturing and all. At least Will really fucked him up since he's in a wheelchair now. ONE OUT OF FIVE, YOU SON OF A BITCH! HAHAHA.
Syd really is kinda suffocated over Vaughn and Alice being together. She leaves and the expression shows her focusing on her breath, exhaling and displaying a perfectly obvious, not over-the-top hurt she's bottling up. Yay! Back to SD-6. Kane is interviewing Jack. Him and Arvin go way back - 30 years. Kane and Jack only have a brief scene, but it's more than rewarding after so much dragging filler that tends to pop in this season, even with ten episodes in. Even...? 47, 000 things happen over the course of 10 episodes of Alias. But season 2 is kinda heating up the right way now. Syd's with Marshall on the plane and he's edgy, jumpy, almost freaking out, barely holding it together, anxious and scared, fear of flying ... the usual drill... but he's a true sweetheart.
Syd and Marshall get the mission done, with some slight troubles along the way (Marshall got shot by a tranquiliser) yet he's the the one stealing the scenes this time - "If it ain't baroque, don't fix it."; great British accent, funny yelling in Ewok language at the security guards, typing and deciphering, getting the Echelon shit for Syd after she'd awaken him enough to do it by kissing him. Him and Syd have an endearingly heartfelt moment with Marshall himself uttering that the best part is that it felt so good to be one of the good guys. They part their ways, but unfortunately, they were spotted during the symphony so CIA's extraction team does not intercept at the intercept(ion?) point as Marshall gets ambushed by the teeth-obsessed creep's men. Who the hell does he even work for now? Is he a part of something or a skillful, disgusting, sadistic freelancer? I always forget.
Nevermind. So Marshall ends up meeting him instead and that's where the episode ends. Jack paid another visit to Irina over that totally insignificant proposal, and there's no way Irina would ever confess anything if she's got her mind set on seeing her plan coming to fruition. Jack confirms that they're still married since the marriage has never been annulled. She let him know that she's okay with being debriefed by him as well from now on, and not just by Sydney. Well, their brief scene actually shows how much progress was made with this wrecked family drama. It takes talent and skill to make it so believable and possible, on behalf of all of those involved. Also, Kane vs Jack isn't over as she's brilliant in her opposition to Sloane as he's being defensive in regards to Jack. She's willing to prove that he's hiding something, his strategic stance and answers being too perfect. All she needs is a hunch. It is good that somebody mentioned that, said precisely the way she said it. SD-6 means serious and dangerous business run by mercenaries, thieves, powerful people that are sociopaths and scum. It is often downgraded at the expense of other meaningful factors that complete the show's various ways of genre-bending to aim for what it succeeds pretty often at, well-paced suspense/mystery, spy action drama.

I'm here people complaining let mixed races who are more luck can become pretty big and the clones don't like them and they were chased here and makes sense to Mack they're on fire and they're not getting big. Tons of them are coming in now I'm getting these losers out of here I can't stand them sitting there helping them and the clones are going after them and they're having a war with them and the pots just don't know what to do at all didn't sitting here saying hi to them being nice they're being huge assholes afterwards.
Did a lot of things happening here a lot of changes the happening today and they're big changes and it's regarding local government and the atmosphere and who's in charge and law enforcement and more everybody is sick of these f****** freaking complete f****** morons go around messing everything up and don't know how to do anything and think they're covered and they're just sitting there ruining everybody and themselves they are utter waste of time
-yesterday they had 150 shares today they're shooting for a hundred and it's true it didn't fire 10 additional and it made him feel good so they ran around doing stupid things to people can you believe that they went from 400 to 150 and they're confident because tend to get fired I mean what a waste of time the little teeny kids are not even pass kindergarten in their development it's horrible it sure sounds like that it says I've been injured and they're not very bright and they need to step down and step off go somewhere else and they won't only by force so they're being forced out 50 of them will be fired and the max confirm it

Do you know, is it possible ... to be on social security disability and sell art/writing commissions? (I'm on disability and it's something I've thought of doing to supplement it a bit, but it's a scary prospect). I thought since you do commissions and also are trying to get on disability, that, you might know?
From my very limited understanding of it, if you're already on disability and want to do art commissions as a side gig, you need to make under a certain amount of money. From my research, you need to not be making more than $1,767 a month, which is... suspiciously a lot more than I thought it'd be, not gonna lie. Still--you CAN make money while on SSI. Idk if you're on SSI or SSDI or some other program but I'd definitely look into it yourself. If nothing else, you can always ask your local Department of Human Services for information. I don't think asking about it will get you in hot water or anything.
Though to be frank with you, I am only doing commissions to essentially survive until I get approved, if I ever do. Don't really know what I'm gonna do if I'm not approved, but. Details I guess?
Anyway yeah. I think like... if you make only $100.00 a month on commissions you should be just fine. But I'm certainly not the person to ask as I may be screwing myself over by doing the odd art commission every so often. Like I sure hope not but with conservatives taking away our rights and shit, I can't even begin to describe how little faith I have in the American government.

A3! Event: Trump the Phantom Thief Episode 8 Translation
Play time! A heads up on the characters' names:
Muku: King
Yuki: Q
Kazunari: Ace
Juza: Jack
Banri: Fox
Sakyo: Club
Saionji: Muku-kun, how are you doing? Are you getting seasick?
Muku: I'm doing alright, thank you. Oh, and the room is so beautiful.
Saionji: I am glad it is to your liking. We purposely built the suite rooms in a place where you can't feel the ship's motion.
I am planning to take every possible measure for the theater venue as well, though do not hesitate to let me know if you are unsatisfied with anything.
Muku: I will. Thank you.
Kazunari: Dude, not only the suite rooms are superbs, but to think we also get a whole staff to ourselves…! We can even get the beverages here as many times we like!
Yuki: True. The service is just so good it surprised me.
Sakyo: Don't get too engrossed in these service or you'll be havin' a hard time once we return to Mankai Company.
Izumi: You have a point…
Banri: I don't wanna go back.
Juza: ...I'm thirsty.
Muku: Wanna get some beverages in our rooms?
Juza: No, it's fine. Our rooms are far from here.
Azami: There's a lot of vending machines there. I think they have your favorite strawberry milk.
Juza: I'll go get it.
Muku: …
Izumi: (Today is finally our opening show. I knew it. They all seem pretty nervous because we're going to perform in a different venue.)
Juza: …
Izumi: (Juza-kun looks stiff.)
Kazunari: OK, guys! We've gotta form a circle in times like this!
Banri: Be more specific. What d'you mean by "in times like this"?
Yuki: Bet you already thought of what kind of circle you wanna do.
Kazunari: Righty right! Since our play is about phantom thieves, we all should strike a phantom thief pose!
Sakyo: The heck is that?
Kazunari: No complaining! Just follow me!
Yuki: Fine. Fine.
Juza: ...Muku, do the chant.
Muku: First things first, I'm sorry for causing you guys troubles when I was at a loss of what to do.
I don't want to give up on all the things I want to do. I've decided to do everything I can in all of them.
I'll run through until the end. Follow me, guys!
Juza: Yeah!
Kazunari: Okie!
Banri: Yea.
Q: "It's as musty as always."
Ace: "Clean it up."
Q: "How about you do it?"
Ace: "No way. Geez. This place used to be clean, wonder what happened to it."
Q: "That's because we had a clean-freak before."
Ace: "Okay. Leader, you do the cleaning."
King: "I think it's pretty clean, though."
Q: "Seriously?"
Ace: "Should've known a messy room owner like Leader would say something like that."
Q: "Anyway. Since this is the first time we gathered here after a year, that means you've already set our next target, right? Let's cut to the chase already."
King: "Our next target will be "Mermaid's Tears", a 12-carat diamond."
"It's going to be sold during an auction held at the Royal Star cruise. It's one of the event's highlights and expected to sell for 6 billion."
Ace: "Woo-hoo."
Q: "Heh. Interesting."
King: "Royal Star is currently hiring staff. Q."
Q: "Got it. That means I have to sneak in as one of their staff members, right?"
King: "Ace, get close to the ship's captain and collect information."
Ace: "Roger."
Izumi: (I expect no less from Summer Troupe. They have great teamwork. I can totally feel it.)
(Not to mention Muku-kun's King is able to unite them as a leader.)
Q: "I'm in charge of the rooms in Block A… Laundry and… Ugh. What a hassle."
"This isn't my job in the first place, after all. If that person were here--."
Crew Member: "Are you new here? You seem lost."
Q: "Yes. I don't think I can get out of this place if I lose the map."
Crew Member: "You can ask anyone if there's anything you don't understand."
Q: "Thank you."
"?"
Crew Member: "What's wrong?"
Q: "I think I saw someone over there--."
Crew Member: "But there's only a garbage can over there. Is it a ghost or something?"
Q: "Hey. Stop. I don't like it."
"Hm? A letter?"
"Could this be--I have to report to King."
King: "I'll take the Mermaid's Tears--Jack."
Ace: "Can't believe he's aiming for the same thing."
Q: "Him and King sure are compatible in a strange way."
Ace: "Even though their personalities are the exact opposite of each other."
Q: "What are we going to do now?"
Ace: "Guess we're gonna have a change of pla--."
King: "We'll continue the operation."
Q: "Come again!?"
Ace: "So you mean we're gonna compete with Jack?"
King: "I will not send out this notice. Let's call it a direct confrontation between Trump and Jack."
Q: "Whaaaat!?"
Jack: "Weird. The cops aren't on the move."
"Hm? Where's my noti--."
"It's been a while. How about a reunion? At The Mermaid's Tears' chamber. Trump."
"King, huh… It's just so like him to do something like this. Fine. Let's have a showdown."
Fox: "Here. I got what you wanted, the Royal Star's blueprint."
King: "It is indeed the blueprint."
Fox: "I got you some addition as well. This one is a lil bit pricey."
King: "Figured as much."
Fox: "What are you going to do with this information, though?"
King: "It's prohibited to poke your nose into your client's private life."
Fox: "Oops. My bad. I was curious since you rarely asked for something like this. Oh, yeah. Your master said he wanted to see you."
King: "Club? I wonder why. I'll try contacting him."
Club: "I'm comin' in."
Fox: "Speak of the devil."
King: "Long time no see."
Club: "Perfect timing. Are you free now?"
***
Club: "I'm goin' to retire soon. Take whatever you need."
King: "Retire? Are you serious?"
Club: "My body is startin' to fall apart. It's an age thing. Tell this to Ja--Oh, right. I heard you two broke up."
King: "You made it sound like we're dating. Please don't do that. He just decided to quit my group on his own."
Club: "Y'all never change. Here I thought you'd keep workin' together. That's what you call youth, I guess."
King: "To be honest with you, I'd also never thought he would betray me."
Club: "Looking at that guy, I think he's in his rebellious phase rather than betrayal."
King: "Rebellious phase?"
Club: "He's got some strong sense of rivalry, y'know? Add that with the fact that he's never won against you."
"He must be jealous of you. You're a genius, while he can only do things in a crude way."
King: "Really? I like his way of doing things, though."
Club: "That's exactly why you're hated. Oh, well. You better make up before I die."
King: "Please tell that to him too. You're going to meet him after this anyway, right?"
Club: "You're right. Guess I'm also gonna tell him directly. Both of you are my most excellent apprentices, after all."
King: "Please take this as my present for your retirement. This one is 40 years old."
Club: "You sure are well prepared."
King: "I was actually planning to use it for the celebration party, though."
"--Oh, right. If you're going to retire, please give me that. You know, the 'Venus Ring'."
Club: "I refuse."
***
Fox: "Welcome. Man, I guess we've got a lot of 'speak of the devil' moment today."
Jack: "What are you saying?"
Fox: "Nope. Forget it. Anyway, this is your requested uniform and safe."
Jack: "Thanks."
Fox: "Oh, yea. Your master said he wanted to see you. Why don't you give him a call?"
***
Jack: "Long time no see."
Club: "Hey. Is it just me or did you lose some weight?"
Jack: "What do you want to talk about?"
Club: "I'm gonna retire soon. Take whatever you need."
Jack: "Whatever you need, huh. By the way, the 'Venus Ring'..."
Club: "Y'all really have the same taste. I ain't gonna give it out. I sent it to the right place."
Jack: "By y'all… Do you mean King?"
Club: "You should just go back and regroup with him."
Jack: "I'll never go back until I win against him."
Club: "What a pig-headed kid. So? You see any chance to accomplish that?"
Jack: "I have a feeling we're finally going to settle this soon."
Club: "Heh. You seem confident."
Jack: "Because I've made arrangements ahead of time."
Club: "That's so you. You still look as gloomy as ever, though. Why don't you go soaking up the sun in some warm places in the south once in a while?"
Jack: "No--But you have a point. Maybe I'll do that once this is over."
Club: "Do that. And make up with King."
Jack: "...It depends on him."
Guard A: "Wait there."
Guard B: "This place is restricted to authorized personnel."
***
Q: "'Mermaid's Tears' has been carried away."
King: "Got it. Looks like they put it at the expected place."
Q: "How about the security? Can you unlock it?"
King: "I've already made preparation for that. We just need to see how things will turn out."
Ace: "Hey, wait a sec. Please, King."
King: "Find out the schedule for the guards' lookout."
Q: "Ugh. What a pain. Why do I have to do this…"
***
Q: "The guard will change at 1 P.M. The key will only be handed over when a substitute comes."
King: "So we need that key and the password that the captain has to unlock the door."
Q: "Ace, gain some time for us."
Ace: "Roger. Leave it to me."
Q: "Don't screw up."
***
Ace: "Hey, good work."
Guard A: "You're here sooner than I thought."
Ace: "Boss said my shift would start 30 minutes earlier since I'm always late, you see. Today I got here on time, though."
"Oh. Don't tell me you're gonna get scolded if you end your shift early? Wanna have some chat for thirty minutes then? Man, being a guard sure is easy."
"I actually want to increase my shift more, you know. But I don't reall--."
Guard A: "No, it's fine. I'll end my shift now. Bye."
Ace: "Oh. Okay, then. Bye."
***
Ace: "Mission complete. It's your turn now, King."
King: "Let's see, now. This is unexpectedy such a hassle~."
Ace: "I'm glad you seem to be having fun but please hurry up."
***
Q: "It's almost been thirty minutes."
King: "Just a little bit more…"
Q: "The guard is coming."
King: "I'm counting on you, Ace."
***
Ace: "Hey.."
Guard B: "Hm?"
Ace: "Ouch ouch ouch…"
Guard B: "What's wrong?"
Ace: "Oh, are you the substitute? Thank God. I'm starting to panic since my stomach is killing me. Good bye!"
Guard B: "Hey, wait, the key--."
Ace: "Key? Oh, right. I've gotta hand it ove--ouch ouch ouch."
Guard B: "Hey, you okay?"
Ace: "Wait a minute. Just until I calm down. Ouch ouch ouch…"
Guard B: "F-For now, just go to the toilet first."
Ace: "Don't think that's possible. I feel like it's gonna come out once I move."
Guard B: "Whaaat!?"
Ace: "Do you have some medicine or anything?"
Guard B: "No, sorry…"
Ace: "Can you bring me one from the infirmary? I'm on the edge here."
Guard B: "O-Okay! Wait a little bit!"
Ace: "King, you better open it now."
***
King: "...Weird. We may not make it."
Ace: "Come again!?"
King: "Oh, I got it. This one."
"...Nice. It opens!"
"Q, carry it out. Let's retreat."
Q: "Got it."
***
Guard B: "Hey, I have the medicine!"
Ace: "Very thanks, man. Here, your key! I'll leave the rest to you."
Guard B: "Yeah. Hope you recover soon."
King: "...This is weird. Jack didn't come in the end."
Q: "Maybe he realized it's impossible to go against phantom thieves."
King: "No. That guy…"
Police: "Freeze! We're police!"
King: "--."
Q: "!?"
Ace: "Since when!?"
King: "We're being set up. Q, throw the 'Mermaid's Tears' to the sea."
Q: "Huh!? Do you hear yourself now!?"
King: "Do it now. We'll escape the moment the police look away."
Ace: "You're lying, right!?"
King: "Quick."
Q: "You're the one who told me to do it, alright!"
Police: "H-Hey! The jewel! Pick it up, quick!"
King: "Let's go!"
Police: "Wait!"
Q: "What do we do now!? All of our hardship went to waste!"
Ace: "Our 6 billion…"
King: "That was a fake jewel Jack had prepared."
Q: "What?"
King: "Jack had stolen 'Mermaid's Tears' in advance and replaced it with a fake one."
"He was the one who snitched on us."
***
Narration: "The day before…"
Guard A: "Hey, what's wrong?"
Jack: "No, it's just… the engine…"
Guard A: "Hold on, hold on. If there's any trouble, you better do something about it or else it'll get worse later on. If we're liable for the damages…"
Jack: "There's smoke coming out!"
Guard A: "Say what!?"
Jack: "Stay away from the car!"
Guard B: "Whoa!"
Guard A: "C-Call the fire station! Wait, we gotta get the safe first!"
Guard B: "Hey, is it okay?"
Jack: "Yeah. The smoke disappeared. I found no issues with the machine too."
Guard A: "That means the safe is alright, yeah? God. Give me a break. We almost carry it away ahead of time."
***
Q: "So that's why Jack didn't show up…"
Ace: "He really got us! I already thought it was weird for the police to appear at times like that!"
Q: "Ugh. Even if the police didn't appear, Jack still won since he already got the 'Mermaid's Tears' before us."
King: "I wonder about that."
***
King: "He hasn't made any changes in his base. Well, isn't he a little careless…"
"Even his security system is so weak."
"Hm? A card?"
"'Out of respect of Master's retirement, I will hand over the victory.'"
"Don't be satisfied with second place. You could have taken measures if you know there's a chance it'll get stolen. Oh, well. I'll accept your kind offer…"
***
Jack: "..."
"He really came…"
King: "Hey."
Jack: "--ugh. Why are you still here, King?"
King: "It's been a long time, I want to renew our friendship. I even brought alcohol with me."
Jack: "This is why you're hated."
King: "But you don't hate me, do you?"
Jack: "How did you find out?"
King: "I got some information about you from Fox. It helped me understand your strategy to some extent."
Jack: "In that case, why did you fall into the trap?"
King: "Because, otherwise, you won't move forward as planned. I'll be troubled if you're on your guard."
"I could narrow down your base thanks to the location device I planned on the alcohol I gave to Club. The rest is my intuition."
Jack: "I can never bring myself to like you in the end."
King: "Now, now. Let's have a toast for the 'Mermaid's Tears'. Q and Ace are waiting."
Izumi: (This is the only scene where Jack and King talk face to face. Even so, you can tell how close they are just by watching this scene alone.)
(Maybe because they are cousins, they can create a unique relationship between rivals who understand each other the most.)

Genre: Angst
Summary: The biggest day of your life is finally here. You've never been happier in your life. Everyone important in your life is here, glad that you're happy.
Jimin's POV
I sigh deeply as I steady myself, my nerves making me feel on edge. Today is the day. Surrounded by my friends, I feel a sense of security. "Are you nervous, Jimin?" Seokjin pats my back soothingly, and I smile up at him. "Of course I'm nervous. What if I do something wrong? Say something wrong?" I ask, my fingers fumbling with my tie. I groan in frustration, and Seokjin takes over for me, tying it perfectly. "You're gonna be fine. We're all going to be there standing right next to you." He assures me. "Yeah, you've got nothing to worry about. Here, maybe this will calm you down." Yoongi says, handing me a flask. I gladly accept it, taking a swig and letting the liquid burn my throat. The door swings open, Namjoon smiling brightly as he raises his hands him the air. "Alright guys, it's time! Let's go get married!" He declares.
The venue is beautiful. I've seen it in pictures about a million times, but pictures can't even begin to compare to the real thing. A spring wedding in the forest. That's always been her dream. She's been planning this since she was a little girl. The trees towered over us, giving us nice shade from the sun's rays. Rows of cushioned seats decorated in lavender ribbon were lined up, facing the alter, which was also laced in ribbon, also pale pink roses poking out. It was absolutely perfect. I walk around, greeting people, ushering people to their seats, waiting anxiously for it to begin. I check my watch, and it's 20 minutes until it starts. I make sure everyone is seated and as soon as they are, I take my place up at the alter, all of my friends around me. I take a deep breath, trying my best to calm myself. It's time.
The music plays, and the doors of the building open. Taehyung rubs my arm that's hidden from view soothingly, trying to calm me down. Everyone turns as she appears, her father locking arms with her as he guides her. Her beautiful fingers wrap around the bouquet of pale pink roses, her veil draped over her face. Even with the veil hiding her, I can still tell she looks absolutely amazing. She always does, of course, but this is a day I've imagined repeatedly, and she looks even more stunning than I could've ever dreamed. The closer she gets, the more nervous I get. My foot taps unconsciously, my fingers fiddling in front of me. She looks at me, smiling before she kisses her father on the cheek, taking her place up on the alter. Her veil is lifted, and I can feel tears pricking my eyes. She's definitely more gorgeous than I could've ever dreamed of. She's perfect.
I remember the first time I saw her. We were just kids, and she sat in my table group, and I would always tug on her hair or tease her. Whenever I did something to her she'd do something right back, and that set they basis of our relationship. For years we teased each other back and forth, and the older we got, I realized my feelings for her. She would always tell me about what she wanted her wedding to be like, and I always promised her I'd make it happen. Even though I knew I loved her, I was always too nervous to tell her. It wasn't until we were 16 that I finally kissed her, and it was the best day of my life. After that happened, we talked about where we stood, our relationship, and how things would play out from then on. A few weeks later I introduced her to my other friends, and she got along with them really well. Maybe if I didn't introduce them, it would've been me standing on that alter with her.
The day after we kissed she came over to my house, sat down on my bed like any other day after school, but she seemed tense, a bit awkward. "Jimin..." She speaks softly, looking down at my floor, and I start to worry. "About last night, I-I don't think it should've happened." Her words are like a knife through my chest. "I'm sorry, but I really don't feel anything romantic towards you. You're my friend. My best friend. I still want to be your best friend." Another knife. I really don't feel anything romantic towards you. The words ring through my ears over and over. All I can do is smile and nod. "Alright then, best friend. No worries." I laugh, and she smiles. "This isn't gonna make things weird between us?" She asks nervously. "Nah, it's all good. I don't want things to be weird between us." I wave my hand, doing a damn good job at hiding my broken heart. "Oh that's great!" She jumps up, running over to hug me, as she's done many times.
Weeks later we were still hanging out after school, like nothing ever happened. I introduced her to some more of my friends, and we all went to hang out at a park, and from the moment she waved at everyone, Namjoon going the extra mile to get up and shake her hand, I knew I was screwed. The more we hung out the closer those two got, his love for literature and music, his morals and ideals and philosophies matching hers. The whole time, all I could do was stand by. Whenever I wanted to say something, do something to show she should be with me and not him, I couldn't. They're perfect for each other, and who am I to try and stop their happiness?
Somehow I managed to stay composed through the whole service, even smiling and patting Namjoon on the back after they kiss. I have to keep it together until I go home. Please, at least until I get home. Everyone goes straight from the service to the reception, the venue being nearby. The happy couple takes a car while the rest of the wedding party splits up between two vans, bridesmaids in one and groomsmen in the other. When we're finally in the confines of the van, a collective sigh spills from our mouths, and I lean forward, my head in my hands. "You did a great job, Jimin." Jin reaches up, patting my back. A round of agreeing hums sounds through the car, and I sniffle while nodding.
"I can't do this right now. I just need to suck it up." I nod, wiping away any tears that escaped. The van pulls up to the venue, and I hope my eyes aren't red. I don't want Y/N to see me sad. We all get out, Going inside and taking our seats at the large table. It takes about 20 minutes for everyone to gather, taking their assigned seats. I smiled as Namjoon sat down next to me, but on the inside, I was falling apart.
Speech time. One of the many moments I had been dreading since I became the best man. I stand, clearing my throat and tapping my glass, getting everyone's attention. As everyone quiets down, all eyes on me, I feel on the verge of breaking again. Its hard, but I keep my cool, smiling out at the crowd. Guess it's go time.
"Hello everyone. For those of you that don't know me, I'm Park Jimin. Now, I've been friends with Y/N and Namjoon for a really long time. I was actually the one that introduced Y/N to Namjoon. Um, I didn't actually write anything for this, I figured I'd just wing it. Let's hope it goes well." I smile, and everyone laughs. "I don't really have much to say, um, I could tell some funny stories about each of them, God knows I have so much dirt. But, I won't do that. As I look around the room, and saw the service, I can tell you personally that this is absolutely Y/N's dream wedding. Trust me, she told me for years every little detail of what she wanted. Everything looks perfect, and she truly deserves it. Namjoon and Y/N, I knew from the moment I introduced you that you guys were perfect for each other, and I'm really glad you guys are happy. You both are amazing people that deserve only the best. I know it's short, but like I said, probably should've prepared something. I don't think it really takes much to get my point across though. These two are amazing together, and I hope you guys have an amazing future together."
Everyone claps, Namjoon hugging me as Y/N smiles at me. I take my seat, and all the other speeches are done. Mine probably sucked the most, but at this point, I don't really care. I'm just glad it's over with. After the speeches everyone eats and mingles, the music starts to play, everyone hitting the dance floor. The main dances take place, then everyone starts to dance together. Even though dancing is my passion, I decide to stand to he side, watching Y/N as Namjoon spins her around, holding her close to him. She looks so happy, it puts a smile on my face. All I've ever wanted was for her to be happy, and she is.
After a bit, she notices me, waving me over. I put my hands up, shaking my head, but she comes closer, grabbing my hand and pulling me up. I groan in defeat as I start dancing, her sweet laugh ringing through my ears. She's having so much fun. A slower song comes on, and I get bold, holding my hand out to her. "Namjoon, you mind if I take this dance?" I ask my friend, and he smiles. "Nah man, go ahead. I'm gonna dance with my mom." He smiles, patting me on the back. Y/N takes my hand, and I pull her close, my hand resting on her back.
"So, are you having fun yet?" She asks. "Yeah, I am. It's a great wedding. You guys did an amazing job." I smile at her. She beams, and I'm so glad it's finally because of something I did. "You were there to help a lot. I'm so lucky to have a best friend like you." She chuckles. Best friend. That's right. Even now, as her hand is in mine, holding her close to me, I'm still the best friend. All I can do is nod and smile, focusing on keeping composed. Apparently, it doesn't work. "Jimin? You okay?" She asks softly, rubbing my bicep soothingly. "Of course. Why wouldn't I be?" I smile, hoping it helps. "Chim, I've known you since we were five, I think I can tell when something's bothering you." She scoffs. All I do is nod, not saying anything.
It's takes a few moments, until she speaks again. "Is it because of-" "Y/N." I cut her off before she can say more. "Are you happy? Really happy with Namjoon?" I ask. She nods, looking up at me. "Then that's all that matters. I'm happy you're happy." I smile, rubbing her back. She nods, understanding that I don't want to talk about it anymore. The song ends, and Namjoon comes over. "Jimin, mind if I steal my wife back?" He beams. "Of course. Go ahead. I think I might be heading out soon anyway." I say, patting him on the back. "Wait what?" Y/N asks. "Leaving already?" Namjoon says. I smile at both of them. "Yeah, I'm exhausted. I'll see you guys when you get back from the honeymoon?" I ask. "Yeah. Alright then. Rest up, bud." Namjoon nods, patting my arm. Y/N reaches over, giving me a hug. "Thank you Jimin. For everything." She whispers. I pull back and smile at them before waving. I say goodbye to the guys and then wait outside for my cab. I'll be home soon. Finally.
As soon as I'm safe in my home, I close the door with my back, sighing deeply. I slide down the door, and as my bottom hits the floor, I lose it. I hug my knees to my chest, sobbing loudly. I've kept it together for so long, and everything is gushing out now. I'm glad she's happy, but why couldn't it be with me? I'm a good guy. I could make her happy. I'd treat her like the queen that she is. I'd give here everything she's ever wanted and everything she deserves. My body shakes as I sob. I'll never have a chance. I just hope Namjoon treats her right. He's a good guy, so I hope he keeps her safe and happy. I'm glad she's happy.

yes! i'm gonna request it!!!! :P
The post in question can be found here. It was originally requested by @dontbeallupinmyfriesdawg so I hope you like it! Unbeta’d, first draft, etc.
“Ouch! Fuck, sweetheart. I’m not a knife block.”
“It’s not a knife. It’s a pin. Stop being a baby,” Caroline said, putting a hand on his shoulder to make sure he stayed still and taking another pin from between her teeth, sliding it into the tunic as he watched, his face pulled into a disapproving scowl.
“That can’t be sanitary.”
“It’s not like I had ebola. My cold’s been gone for like, three days now.”
“A cold could inhibit my ability to project.”
Caroline held Klaus’s eyes with a glare as she inserted a pin a bit more harshly than necessary, nicking him in the side, raising an eyebrow when he flinched. “Whoops.”
“Careful love, I could report you to the Dean for assault,” he grumbled, though his tone didn’t have any bite to it, and Caroline rolled her eyes so hard it hurt.
“Yeah, and get laughed out of the office. Stop slouching.”
He straightened his spine and she walked behind him, adjusting the tunic to make sure it sat correctly and tried not to show how lowkey annoyed that her cold was gone. Sure, the sniffling had been irritating, but it was now a lot harder to ignore how good he smelled.
“I could ask Damon to replace you with a different designer, I doubt he’d see a problem with it.”
It was an empty threat and they both knew it. Damon might hate her for dumb reasons, but not only was she the only remotely competent design major willing to do costumes for the play, but she was also the swing for half the female roles. She’d effectively made herself indispensable. Even if that wasn’t the case, she knew Klaus wouldn’t trust anyone else to make his costumes.
“I’m terrified. Truly,” she said, dropping to her knees behind him to check the hem of the tunic before leaning back slightly. “Take off your pants so that I can do the hem really quick.”
“You just want me to undress for you.”
“I don’t have time for your half-ass flirting, Klaus.”
“Half-assed?” he asked, drawing out the word in an irritatingly good imitation of an American accent. “I’m wounded, love.”
“Not my problem. I still have a bajillion things to do, including finishing up your armor for the last scene. It’s almost done and I’m hoping to finish it by tonight, but I’m still behind on everything else. I don’t think I’ll have the time for more than one fitting for everyone before dress rehearsals.”
Klaus hummed in a way that could pass for sympathetic and let his trousers fall, stepping out of them and searching her face. “How long have you been here today?”
“Since like, eight, maybe?”
“Caroline, it’s nearly seven o’clock.”
“I know. I do have a phone,” she said grumpily, pressing on before he could keep talking, anxious to get him out so that she could finish. “Can you come back around eleven? I should be done by then and I can get you fitted. The armor is the hardest part, so—“
“I’ll be here, sweetheart,” he said, cutting off her babbling.
“Good.”
She grabbed the pants he kicked off and took a fraction of a second to admire his ass (she was only human) before standing up, heading to the sewing machine and plopping down in the chair. “Take off the tunic and hang it up by the door. Please don’t screw up the pins again, okay?”
She heard the rustle of fabric as he slid the tunic off and did her best to stay focused on the sewing machine. She’d caught a glance of his abs more than a few times in the past few years and it was best to not fall down the “what would they feel like under my tongue” rabbit hole, at least not in front of him.
From the first day they’d met he’d shot her lust-filled glances that made her cheeks heat, and she hadn’t been shy about returning them for the first few days. She had always tried her best not to let things get too complicated with anyone in the fine arts department, though. The industry was small and she couldn’t afford to make enemies this early. She’d turned him down regretfully when he asked her out the first week, and he seemed to take it as a challenge. He hadn’t made another overt move, but he did somehow manage to worm his way into her circle of acquaintances enough that he’d grown on her. They were solidly frenemies now, though she could privately admit that they were more on the friends end of the scale than enemies at this point.
He still sent her affectionate glances when he thought she wasn’t looking that made her heart skip a beat, and she’d given up on resisting the urge to do the same. Enzo had even let slip that Klaus might have gotten wasted at a cast party and implied he still had feelings for her, and she’d only recently grown brave enough to recognize that she might like him too. A lot.
Possibly too much.
As graduation drew closer, he’d started finding more reasons to linger near her, and she didn’t really mind…until now.
Tech week was serious business, and she couldn’t afford distractions, not if she was going to finish up the costumes. She tried her best to concentrate on that as the hours ticked by, to not stew on how once tech week was over she’d have to come up with a different, even dumber excuse for not giving into Klaus.
Or you could just give him a chance, a tiny, unwelcome part of her prodded. Maybe he wouldn’t be a vindictive, petty, life-ruining asshole if it didn’t work out.
“Shut up,” she mumbled to the (supposedly) empty room, flinching when Klaus spoke from behind her, sounding amused.
“Do I really walk that loudly?”
“I was just talking to myself,” she said, turning around to see Klaus with a tray containing two coffees and a bag that looked suspiciously like take-out from her favorite hole-in-the-wall pasta place two blocks from campus. “Oh my god, is that for me?”
“Yes.”
“You’re the best, Klaus. Thank you so much! I seriously feel like I’m about to fall over.”
“Perhaps you should sleep,” he suggested mildly, setting down the tray and bag.
“I don’t have time—“
“Well, eat at least, then,” he said, gesturing to the food. “I had a feeling you’d be working yourself to death.”
“No eating near costumes or props,” Caroline said automatically, though she felt her mouth practically watering at the prospect of carbonara, and he rolled his eyes.
“Jeremy isn’t around to murder you for it and I’m certainly not going to tell. Or you could eat in the other room.”
“That’s true,” she said, glancing at the half-done gown for Camille spread across the table and making a mental list of things she still had to do before deciding she could make an exception just this once. “Okay. I’ll try to be quick. Let’s get you into the armor first though. You can keep your shirt on, but I need you to take your jeans off and put on the pants from your costume.”
His hands were already going for his belt when she’d finished, and she cleared her throat, looking away. It was harder to find the will to feign disinterest on this amount of sleep, and she found herself second-guessing her life choices. She waved him over to the table where she was storing the armor and grabbed the first piece.
She’d done her best to make the armor set fast and easy to put on. He had more than enough time to change, but it was always good to leave cushion for sudden emergencies. “I’ll be there to help you, but see how there’s a front half and a back half to each leg and to the top?”
“Yes.”
“Okay, so the front half has straps that go around and buckle, like this.”
She demonstrated, lining up the front of one of the legs with his and reaching through his legs to wrap the strip of sturdy cloth around his thigh and buckle it securely before doing the same with his calf and switching to the other leg.
He was watching her intently as she adjusted the pieces, sliding the backs into place so that they fastened to the front part of the costume, and kept his eyes on her face when she stood. “What?” she asked, frowning and taking the front of the chest armor from the table.
“Nothing, love.”
“Put your arms out.”
He did, and she slid the armor up to rest against his chest, her palms lingering against his shoulders for a second too long, and she felt her cheeks heat as her eyes flicked up to meet his. She quickly darted behind him to buckle it into place and adding the back piece before putting the shoulderpads on. “Good?” she asked, wincing at how high-pitched her voice had gone.
“Yes, love.”
“Great! Just walk around the theater to get used to it and make sure you can move in it,” she ordered, already reaching for the food and coffee, determined to get away from him and have a breather to regain her footing. Hopefully the food would help. “And seriously, thank you. You’re a literal lifesaver.”
His lips twitched. “Glad to be of service. Yours is the one on the left with all the sharpie marks for your various customizations.”
“Thanks,” she said, checking it and feeling an unwelcome warmth burst in her chest that he’d remembered every single one.
She moved out of the room to the nearby green room, giving herself permission to check twitter as she was eating and draining the coffee. It had been about a half an hour by the time she returned to the sewing room to find Klaus in the armor looking a bit peeved.
“You okay?”
“I need you to take it off. I can’t reach the fastenings in the back.”
Her lips twitched, and her sleep-deprived brain pushed words out of her mouth before she could stop them. “What kind of bad pick-up line was that?”
“A true one,” he shot back, clearly amused at the horrified look on her face once she processed what she said. “Though as I’m sure you’re aware, Caroline, I’d be perfectly happy to let you undress me anytime.”
The statement hung in the air between them, and Caroline felt like the short distance between them was charged with energy, her skin prickling at the way he was looking at her, the longing and all-consuming need in his expression making her pulse race.
It was the boldest he’d been since that first week when he’d asked her out, and in her heart of hearts she knew he wouldn’t wait forever, that time was running out, that she had to make a decision. It was so unfair that it was harder to resist him without her usual impeccable impulse control, but she knew that if she was honest with herself, her control around him had been waning ever since the day they met.
“I know,” she said, biting her lip at the flash of irritability in his eyes, how clearly frustrated he was with her brush-off.
“Caroline—“
“And I wouldn’t either,” she said in a rush, anxious to get the words out. “Mind, I mean. Undressing you.”
He stared at her, clearly not having expected that particular plot twist, and she pressed her lips together trying not to giggle. He looked so stunned at her admission, that she’d actually acknowledged the heat between them instead of brushing it off the way she usually did. She wondered whether he’d thought it was hopeless. Maybe she’d been better at being subtle than she’d thought.
Or maybe he’d been over her for months and was just in the habit of the over-the-top flirting and she’d completely misread and said the wrong thing like she always did and—
Her mind went blank as Klaus took a few determined strides, cupping her cheeks and bending to press his lips against hers.
The kiss was slow, drugging, like he was taking his time, memorizing the feel of her lips against his. Her hands naturally fell on the cool metal covering his chest, her knees slightly week. She felt his calloused palms warm against her cheeks, and his thumb brushed along her dimple when she gave him a bright smile as he pulled away. She liked the way the blue of his eyes had darkened, the slight part of his swollen lips, and she wanted to see it again.
“I want to touch you,” she said, slightly embarrassed by how breathy her voice was, and it was his turn to smirk. “Turn around. Let’s get you out of this thing.”
He obeyed, and she made quick work of the back, pulling off the shoulder pads and unhooking it easily, leaning forward to nip and kiss his neck as she unfastened the buckles holding the front in place. Klaus shrugged it off, tossing it on the table, and she couldn’t help but feel satisfied at the mark she’d made on his collarbone and the heaviness of his breathing.
She dropped to her knees next, easily detaching and unbuckling the leg guards. “Take off the pants too.”
He obeyed, letting them drop to the floor as she scooted around in front of him, grinning when she saw that he was hard. She flicked her eyes up, holding his gaze and letting her tongue dart across her lips as she reached to palm him, but he caught her wrist. “Not here, sweetheart.”
“What?” she asked, letting him tug her to her feet and inhaling sharply when he spun her so that her back rested against his chest, his hard cock pressing against her ass. His fingers brushed just under the waistband of her jeans, tugging lightly at the front of her thong to give her friction that made her knees buckle, his other hand warm against her hip as he steadied her.
“Let me take you back to my flat,” he murmured between kisses to her neck, his fingers moving slightly to rub her clit through the cotton. “Bed’s much more comfortable than a nap on the couch, which is what I suspect you were planning on.”
He suspected right, but she didn’t want to admit it.
She really wanted to, the exhilaration of finally having given in, of letting the tension snap too delicious to ignore. Unfortunately, when she caught sight of the gown on the table, responsibility called her name. “I have work to do.”
“And you’ll do it better once you get some sleep.”
“Yes, Your Majesty,” she said, the sarcasm heavy in her voice, and she was surprised when she heard his breath catch, his hands tightening briefly on her waist. “What?” she asked, though she had a feeling that she had a pretty good idea of what.
He spun her around to face him, and she grabbed his biceps for balance, absently noting the taught muscles underneath her fingertips. Her lips parted at the want in his eyes. It set her skin on fire, her entire body sensitive and aching for him.
She could feel the heat of his breath on her lips, and his voice was low as he spoke, the tone of want making her nipples tighten. “Fuck, Caroline…”
“It could be fun,” she said, her voice husky, fingers brushing against his skin. “I like role-play.”
“Later,” he said after a moment of consideration. “I have so many plans for you, Caroline, so many ways I imagined taking you for the first time. Though I must admit that I’ve had more than a few fantasies of role-play involving those words coming out of your mouth, I want you first.”
“Tell me more. What you think about, I mean,” she breathed, her nails digging into his back, and she heard him chuckle. “Hey. You’re not the only one with fantasies, and I always had a feeling dirty talk would be on your list of life skills.”
“It would be my pleasure,” he said, pulling back to press his forehead against hers. “Once you come home with me.”
“Deal. I just need to finish—“
“Now, Caroline.”
His voice was soft, barely above a whisper, but the tone of it sent shivers down her spine, made her breath catch, her walls tightening unsatisfyingly around air.
“Okay,” she breathed.
Maybe the gowns could wait, after all.

So You Think You're In A Struggle.....?†
(HOW THE VA SCREWS OVER VETERANS) pt.7
(An add on, 10/24/2021 at the very bottom)
So this has become a fight against local politics and money white corporate America.
As i the usual case..... and they have a documented history. Whenever i post the names and circumstances behind my homelessness, they utilize the banks amongst other measures to attack by.
Mow what they'll do the s try to convince everyone that I'm after money because im in debt. Well, theyre trying to put me in debt, to prove im in debt. Same method of their diabolical perfection they utilized when i file the civil claim.
Oh, i didnt tell me how they screwed over me pertaining to my benefits claim. My civil claim addressed two foot injuries that were well documented to be the fault of an apathetic obnoxious therapist and a Scam she and her equipment supplier had going. Faulty euipment! (my phone is starting to go bananas now, doing crazy shit) So, instead of addressing my injuries. They pointed to my open benefits case. Again exclaiming and alluding to my trying to pay debts.
So, i think i told of my documented back injury and stomach issues i still have to date. Well, American Legion which works on behalf of the VA and NOT then veteran.... had this white dude name d Ron "laugh" in my face and proclaim, "nobody is taking you seriously." Not because my injuries weren't documented, but because of my short stent in the military. Mind you, this bastard had never signed his name to anything but a paycheck. They destroyed my medical and service records (Yet, went i met with they, they had copies), then claimed i faked my medical to get out of the service. All through my records it clearly stated that that was the case. I had just gotten this Nation's top security clearance, plus a meritorious promotion. Racist ass bastard hated that! Plus, i wasn't a military whore. A gunnery sergeant even had the audacity to ask me if i wanted a list of men that couldn't produce sperm. MY RIGHT HAND TO GOD! No! I was railroaded. I had not long before my discharge had injured my back. And it was diagnosed. After my discharge, i spent ten days in traction at Metropolitan Hospital in Philly. The VA had refused me care. Yeah, VA IS FUCKED UP!
So, i dropped the American Legion as my sponsor. So, they gang up on me. Sent me a letter giving me notice for a hearing. Gave me the option of local or telecom with Washinton DC. I chose DC. They said, NOT! Instead sent me to some nasty paid for bitch who blatantly told me, "its up to me whether you get benefits or not." So, she lied all over her report. Starting with a bogus ass medical exam. And. didn't examine shit.
Oh an let me back track a little. Before all this most recent bullshit. Back in 2005(?), I was examned by this Dr. David Johnson (?) David something..... for my stomach. He lied and said i stated no military connection with my stomach. And! That there was absolutely nothing wrong with my stomach. I go to a private doctor a week after. She found and photo graphed a hernia. VA wasnt hearing it. Not only did this doctor find the he hernia, she knew this VA doctor and said he was and how quote, "an asshole!"
Be right but to finish up!
So, i finish up with this controversial statement.
The VA doesn't care about any veteran who they cant play God over, and treat veterans who refuse to succumb to their bullshit like "collateral damage" foreign civilian casualties.
Addition:
I mentioned that this isn't my first time posting this bio. All the for mentioned events, have been in fact repeated with each posting. Except for one happening i left out. After the first time I posted this. I was sitting at Tempe Town Lake when this tall lanky blonde lady approached me with a video camera asking me what i thought about the United States. Strange damn question in the first place. But it really intrigued me that she was Russian. Popov is Russian! So i flagged her off. She coyly walked over to this other guy, but continued to watch me as she walked away. While she's talking to this guy, she's still watching me. So im like, Fuck it! I pulled out my phone and recorded her. She saw and tried to hide her face. She got posted on Twitter that evening. Two days later, that was my first Twitter account to be shut down. 🤔 Coincidence!?

I've always been interested in working in Japan through the JET program but I'm interested in hearing your experience with working in Japan and the reasons you work there.
STORY TIME!
I’ve always been interested in Japanese culture. The first time I watched Sailor Moon, I was completely enthralled. When I found out it was a type of animation from this little island across the world, I was hooked. It’s always been one of my childhood dreams to come here, whether to live here or for a visit, it didn’t matter. One way or another, I wanted to set foot upon Japanese soil, even if it was just to cross something off my bucket list.
So I found out, very early on in my college career (through a Skype call with a friend of my Japanese professor during class freshman year), that teaching English in Japan was a thing that I could do without being fluent in Japanese/a certified teacher. And since I always knew I wanted to be an author, but wasn’t enthused about the thought of slaving away at some job I wasn’t passionate about until I finished a book, once I figured out this was A Thing?
“HELL YEAH SIGN ME THE FUCK UP”
I had to wait until my senior year to apply, naturally. XP My first choice was the JET program, because it was the most well-known, and I read nothing but good things about it. I sent in my application, and checked my e-mail OBSESSIVELY, waiting for a response.
I didn’t even clear the first cut. OTL
Took time to be sad about it. My friends were very sympathetic (they even bought me chocolate to help cheer me up that night, ha ha~) Once I was done being sad, I picked myself back up and threw myself back into the search. If the JET program didn’t want to hire me, then it was their loss. But now I was Determined: I was GETTING to Japan one way or another, and this one rejection wasn’t about to stop me.
And then, after signing up for several sites which granted jobs to gaikokujin and OBSESSIVE searching, I found my company: Interac. I read up on it, did my research. They didn’t pay as well as JET supposedly does, but still, it was a teaching job in Japan. Repeated the process: sent in my application and waited, on pins and needles now, because I was going to be graduating soon and if I didn’t have a plan, I felt like I’d be screwed.
I heard back VERY quickly from Interac. We did the phone interview, I presented myself as professionally as I could, and then we were done.
Very soon after THAT, I received an e-mail for a SECOND INTERVIEW!!!!
The only difficulty was that the interview was being held in D.C., which is near where my folks live….but it was a week before my graduation from my college in North Carolina. ^^; THAT was an interesting weekend: I had to fly back to Maryland early on Friday, prepare for the interview AND do a mock lesson that night, drive to D.C. Saturday and do said interview/mock lesson, and then fly back to North Carolina on Sunday to graduate a week later. Whew!
But yeah, that happened, I graduated and got my degree in English Writing, then went back home to CHILL for a bit as I waited for a response.
We had gone to Texas to watch my brother’s ceremony for completing his basic training (we’re a military family, hahaha~) when I got the e-mail. Now, we were there for my brother, so I didn’t wanna kick up a fuss, but my dad saw me grinning like an idiot and asked what was up. I passed him my phone and let him read the e-mail, bouncing in my seat. Naturally, my mom and grandma had to know what was up too, so, as quietly as I could (I get loud when I’m excited), I said, “I got the job…!”
Queue mini-celebration before the ceremony started, but needless to say, I was deliriously excited~
Once we returned to Maryland, I threw myself into the next step: paperwork, paperwork, PAPERWORK. Luckily for me, Interac works to take care of most of the big stuff: securing an apartment, picking the schools you work in, stuff like that. But before I could get there, I had to apply for a working visa first. That required photos being taken and several trips to D.C., but I got it did. There was a bunch of other stuff involved too, if I recall correctly, but the visa was the one big thing I remember.
Next, I had to find a job in order to pay for my plane ticket/have start-up money as soon as I headed over there, because I wouldn’t be paid until about two months in (this could be different for JET; I never found out, so I’m just sticking to telling you my experiences, ha ha~). I remember they gave me two options: to start training in August so I would be prepared for September, or to come in March to be prepared for April, when the school year officially started. It was June when these options were presented to me, and since I didn’t have anywhere NEAR the funds I needed, I chose the latter and took a cashier job to build up my funds/pay student loans.
My company worked with me throughout the months, updating me on things like what I would need to bring and where exactly in Japan I would be placed. They made sure to check that I would be comfortable in my placement and if I had any questions while working through the processing of the paperwork I had to send them, so I never felt like I was at a standstill with them, which was nice~
And then, at long, LONG last…it was time for me to go. I booked my plane ticket a month in advance, my grandmother (who was heartbroken that I was leaving) was gracious enough to throw me a going-away party, and my family saw me off at the airport. I was anxious that the sudden SNOW IN APRIL would delay my flight, but things went off without a hitch. (Flight delay due to snow happened to me just this past winter, though; that super sucked. Oh, important advice: MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHO’S OPERATING THE FLIGHT. It might say one airline, but it could really be operated by another airline altogether. Which reminds me: DON’T FLY UNITED. WORST AIRLINE TO FLY OVERSEAS ON.)
And then…I was here.
Been here for a while; going into my third year with my elementary school, and the four kindergartens I teach at. Some days are harder than others, but the kids are really cute, and I’ve found that if I try my best, they’re usually willing to reciprocate. And it makes my heart swell when they get excited to eat lunch with me, even if they ask some inappropriate questions (the amount of times I’ve been asked if I’m married/have a boyfriend…)
What I want to say, though, before I get further lost in my rambling, is that everyone’s experience is different. Some people love it here; some people leave half-way through their contract because they can’t stand it. It all depends on how well you can adapt. The language barrier sucks sometimes, and you feel “other” sometimes when the Japanese folk stare…but overall, I find it a pleasant place to live. My coworkers are nice, my town is small and convenient, and I found that it very quickly became home for me. I don’t know what everyone thinks when they picture Japan, but to me, it’s just where I live. The people just happen to speak Japanese here. :P
If you’re seriously considering living here, the truth is that, in some ways, you will be inconvenienced, compared to what you’re probably used to. The people at the convenience store ask you a question you can’t understand, the NHK man comes knocking at your door demanding payment for a service you don’t use, TALKING CARS AT 11 PM. But there’s a lot of good about it, too, so much that it would make this answer waaaaaaay longer than it already is.
But I think the most important question, Nonny, is this: how bad do you want it?

It's .5% and you people are stupid and the announces an a****** she can't figure it out still so go back to remedial mathematics this is beginner mathematics okay these aren't permutations this is beginning arithmetic. So it's different than 5% and it's not 50% so no wonder they can't figure out what we're saying no we clarified it , I said knows it and the math is correct that we're using and you guys can't figure it out. So the judge who was hearing the case of Sarah who hit Dan and lost control of the vehicle for real can't figure out which one is a greater number .1% or .5% and had to get ready for it okay these are Judges. Dave AKA Dan next door does not have a job as a sheriff or a policeman in Florida at all or a agency person and he's got a couple agencies left. First off the only agency that he's in it really is really stupid for someone next door both of them is the treasury department and his secret service he says and he's threatening the president and no I'm not the past resident is a criminal and the current president's my granddad but luck is that you're fired. So our son asks his grandpa if he can fire then it says yes and they talked a little and I guess she's been going to have to get in there and do something after he sees what she's what I mean what he's doing probation Dave by the federal government you freaking wanna. And you're a hassle President Biden says and now your face is in our face because you can't figure out what we're saying you're fired actually I'm going to send the notice. That was President Joseph Biden. And there's another commentary coming and it's from Mac Daddy and he says I want that guy out of the house and that one and that one and he wants the three idiots out and he's telling his man and this idiot is down in fort Myers blabbing so this is perfect opportunity to arrest you more I can't figure out it's real and your fleet's not assembled and your assholes aren't built up and having a meeting on how to do them in and you want to screw around with me something exhausted and fall over dead cuz you're stupid so I have you arrested and killed for treason. Now David's death and he's deaf and he can't tell who's doing what and he thinks it's his father so it's full of joy it's supposed to push him to get rid of his father and they don't care if they're fighting and they don't care if they're shooting each other they're going to arrest them in fort Myers along with Tommy f for shooting at her son and we pick that a****** up in the shirt it was pretty shocked that guy too and so s*** and lost his arm somewhere and he got pulled off yeah he's one of these bikers in every which way to lose and he's in Pee-wee Herman and a couple other movies and he always gets his ass kicked. But that movie is coming up. And Clyde is looking forward to seeing you too goofballs. Food to beat you up and to blame each other and give you in a fight.
I was trying to nationalize lithium Sun sent in order and had her write it up to secure all of it and purchase all the businesses and if they say internationalizing we'll move it
So John remillard is in prison I was in jail and it is for a very serious crime and he's supposed to be down in fort Myers speaking and it had lost an arm and there's a huge number of people to see what's going on Trump had Sarah run into Dave really it looks like Tommy f to frame the wife of Biden.
So son figured it out Max is on a mission of Mercy to raise the Dead and freeze them from The matrix and he wants to take over and do the job and Tommy says I know this one but just know that everybody is fighting him. And it covers the foreigners it doesn't count for us not much and he's going to lose

Biden suggested the classified documents found in his garage were safe because it was locked with his Corvette in there
Hahaha LOL hahaha what a bunch of hen pecking f***** he's more like are you're a bunch of f****** losers through and through he has a security clearance he brought them there. And they don't sound like top secret so you don't know what you're talking about and it's going to cause a lot of problems for you here with a little group that you think you'll sit on my f****** face with you're so God damn stupid it hurts. You begin worrying about it and they asked the former CIA directory and she said the security level doesn't match but secret service is there and he's the president has the clearance to look at it and take them where he wants for the most part it has to be a security area and secret services there they know about it and we report it so they're stupid she said you're stupid leave it alone you dumbass so the transfers are harping on it and buying this going to come down on them
They're arresting people in the media who are posting about it because the illegal for them to post about it of course he has classified documents you're not supposed to tell people and of course he has access he has clearance.
Former president Trump did not have clearance at the time of the documents were found in his home and he's always required to return those documents at the end of his term no prior to now it's told to several times afterwards for a year by judges and the Congress and he did not this is a huge huge difference it's an acting president he has the clearance to look at old carry work on those documents in the privacy of his own home which is secure and Donald Trump has no right to and had no right to after you lost the election that's all wrong with this guy cuz they're attacking the United States and trying to take over a force and his a****** is trying to undermine the presidency and we like you Max to address it properly there's a big reason why you should this goes Trump is trying to use it as leverage right now for his attacks which is still continuing by the way and you still trying to infiltrate by the way

I got his message he said this is very important and it is I looked into it and trying to remember your dad's we doing Australia saying you idiot such a freaking loser
Mac
Sweet all about things that make people hurt I thought it was working for me and people tell me I f***** everything up and this guy was telling me don't do this and that this is why and listen and now it's over almost it's going to be a huge a****** and he knows it and doesn't care yes stuff and people and things other people do too and I see it it's horrifying. So I guess I'm just going to sit here and get screwed yeah and say I have stuff by saying that so what
John remillard

Several more companies that were firing John remillard from and with gusto. We're going to start taking his things here as symbology because he keeps driving around harassing her son and we don't want to doing that if he has bicycles left we're going to ditch him. Every time. I'm sending the order today we take all those vehicles and the idea came in just in time and she says she's helped with it and it's a good idea well take his used vehicles too to recycle them
*all of the meat companies and food delivery companies and food processing and farming lands and farms we're grabbing all the farms that we haven't even in their areas I'm sick of watching them screw around a bunch of jerks there's way too many of them that are dying twice these 50 assholes screw around a farm and they're mostly trumpsters I tell you what we're going to take them over right now I'm going to defend those farms were going to annihilate tons of them. Huge huge numbers of them will be killed from this maneuver and the distribution and trucking as well and the grocery stores all of them are going to fall under our management shortly and we do retain a lot of employees who are good at it and realize that you had to put up with retarded people and they're being fired and you probably want to help us defend the places and yeah it's going to be a good time.
* We are taking over the trains because they service the food industry too. But we're taking over all the trains and we're fired him from his leadership there and yeah he hasn't done any work for a couple years on anything in his people just sitting there doing nothing just like with covid. He got in there and froze and there's people didn't do anything and he didn't issue any orders for the most part and it gets chastised for quite a bit and all of the trains and train lines in the Midwest will be secured today and the ones that are outside it I'm being taken but those lines need to be secured and I'm going to try and have Max do it and they're going to find out it's pretty tough I'm going to be doing it with them but there's a major Force out here and it is a damn tough job but they need to secure it and they need to for several reasons one is that they need to move ordinance around it's too heavy for trucks most of them and I need to move ammo and arms love the arms are very heavy so they're moving on securing it now huge groups too and the more locker trying to wreck that. These are trained engines are giant and you saw in the movie that they're big I mean it's an engine that huge machine is one big engine it's like a ship engine it's so big and they actually they were taking older ones and using them in ships and work very well, they aren't built for the salt though. Actually don't last long a month or less then the engine's gone if you put it out there.
*transportation such as trucks planes trains automobiles any kind of groups that does that in car rentals truck rentals moving truck rentals moving companies trucking companies and trucking companies within other companies and there's several companies like Walmart and we have not taken that over and we're going to be forced to I assure you it's his idiots will start with us and in the midwest they're all gathering around Walmarts and it's ridiculous but okay I guess we're going to clear them out using Walmart and other places like it now that's only a few left and Walmart one of them. As they do this we're going to take them over and replace them with our stores I already have like 20 of them this morning just now another 200 soon and there's plenty of them but not that many left and it'll cause them to evacuate it's true too. We see a caravan for me 5,000 octillion. All these several million octillion warlock are eliminated but we will take over these transportation companies and maintenance of highways and more globally by the way
*you mentioned above airliners and cargo Jets and plates and we're taking all those over those and they're we're quite a lot that were outstanding and when you grabbed them recently. We took so many airplanes in Jackson was not even funny and most of them are private and this private Fields all over the place in the Midwest and the stuff underneath them everywhere and we took most of it out last night I'm grabbing the rest it's a huge amount of stuff and it was taken in here and to try and they were trying to use it in our people tons of ammo we have we have so many rounds of AK-47 is not even funny, we can learn almost every army on Earth for half a day with what we pull out of there for ammo. Huge piles are formed sorted used all day long. It's incredible but really we got to take over all the airports and all the small ones we're going to use them and we are using some of them and our mother and father said wait a minute we need those as little teeny bases are there covert or overt. To secure the ammo and you clear it all out and you retain what you think you can use and you ship the rest off and cargo Jets to be processed we might do that saves a lot of time. Lots of times I can use it right there on the airfield but there's a whole bunch of stashes that are huge and we don't want that out there they can't defend it and we would destroy it but we don't want that cuz we're off now there's a ton of stuff out there these are good ideas they were going to form a little bases and have patrols and we're doing it now some of the airfields are in good shape the others will close down and I might use those basis the area around them is pretty big. collecting tons of machines they're sitting around, mostly construction equipment. A lot of it was for building housing just huge numbers of piece of equipment and we're servicing tons of it they were getting ready to build stuff.
Another industry that we are taking over Lock stock and barrel today
*hospitals and healthcare and caregiver industries and boy a lot of you will get fired. Our son says huge surprise and I thought it says massive surprise. Fine for what and and then they're going to lay them off immediately and send them home a lot of them and they know it too hospitals well then came under fire and we took them over and took the stashes and Cassius and we're removing most of the buildings so very heavily damaged and recycling but we are putting in huge facilities last night we put in 20 big huge hospitals mostly on the grounds of the large hospital and really we put them in Oregon and Washington a little bit it's not many people there and we're moving them down the coast and we're doing it slowly huge hospitals Northern California 2 mega hospitals with it up there and the others are removed believe it or not it's really weird to see it cuz I can't find it and the building is removed and driving around for a while with science and I can't read the signs they said what you put a couple buildings there that are like triage and we'll do that cuz he driving around like lost dogs and ambulances too and we have a map we're going to hand out from each kiosk to the hospital and triage is a good idea cuz they keep going there. Open about five of those and they're working real well and people like it and they get instructions on the way to go and it's really working for them they said it too, they said were organized. True too it didn't advertise the change so we are staying out to it was companies and so forth we're taking over but we're not running in whole yet . It was quite a sight there a lot there so we need a flyer and save it to him they took off right away it'll take 10 minutes to get him going a little pissed off I said wasn't it destroyed mostly they said no we can see it but now I get something that's not bad the thanked us a lot and there's nothing said you're like the same people. Yup. Added some people and a lot of them but really the same people there too. And they call him healers and there's a lot of them very happy to see that it's still there and it's working out and the showing their son a orange colored bell pepper and hauled out by a black lady.
other organizations are falling today to us and we are firing John Riva Lord from those and also suing him today for still being next door and being evicted we are and he doesn't have any dates to get out he's still there and the county will remove their stuff today if they're not out by a certain time and they've been told it's one reason why he doesn't show up here. The huge number of people that don't want to move in to the neighborhood at all and trying to get him out of every place. And he won't seem to move out. Huge numbers people and yeah this is an eviction notice on his door, was there yesterday. The word got out. And really Dan was trying to do that for quite a while and finally succeeded. Anticipate he'll be out today and he'll be arrested for leaving the stuff in there now he'll be arrested for what's in there drugs drug paraphernalia and we're getting a lot of another industry
*tobacco were going to remove him in his fully today globally. All the outlets in stores even convenience stores we're taking over and sell tobacco it's a huge industry
*alcohol every single look of it except those companies that macarons and a few others that other macs own Don't really own that much stuff anymore it's like a hobby they say. There are tons and tons of these places liquor stores everywhere. And we're eliminating their brands. If we take it over we're going to run their plans for a while as we did then were switching to ours we did in the Midwest. Huge numbers of people were complaining and they stopped suddenly and a lot of them left and it works and we don't want him hanging around drinking it's annoying. Giant numbers of companies are in and referring John rebelord from the big ones including his role at Budweiser and Mac is still hanging on here's a quarter share the other Max have half together he says whoop de s***. And yeah the clones things are going to run everything from down there until it's what to do and it's going to be a big surprise to them when we say no not at all. Along with all the alcohol business we're taking over all of the medical industry alcohol swabs and other such chemical uses for alcohol cuz I'm drinking alcohols me is the same company that makes the other rubbing alcohol isopropyl and others that used in health history and that's my facts all of the industries. This is a huge business there's tons of s who drink. We need hours now we need to sign on I never handle of volume this is such a huge huge business
*any and all electric vehicles street legal or not will be taken over by USC company centers that producing service that maintain them and sell parts I'm going to be ours including ebikes anything you can imagine run by battery including all sorts of tools it will take you over all the construction tool companies too harbor freight in salvage yes the waltz is all of them Black & Decker Akita anything you use a hand tool. Once again we need hours to sign on we need tons of ours office jobs too and put it out there that need and what and for what and the jobs and how many people we need we need troops to support it all hugs and tons of them
That's it for now pretty soon we're announcements as there at Warren's waging like in the oceans and the Bullock are approaching again there's another septillion and Tommy f has 10 in the water and 10 in space and it's going to change rapidly because they're fighting the Black ships already and they were cut down from 100 million it's a 50 million this morning now from 50 million to about 30 million and the other fleets are cut down too but that's a lot of hits that's a lot and a blackships it's amazing. If you are heavy strikes that have been gone from space and Tommy f will be without fleets completely and he'll have to rely on whenever he's made below and he's going to have to go for what's buried. We hear what he made below is significant about 100 million starship for a Star Trek all our 5 mi Plus it moved into intercept
