Thank you! :)

15, K: Where no one else goes, “Play along or they may take us both.”

CW: Suggestive

Hero ran the mission again through their mind as they fled from the presence of bright lights and pleasant conversation. The masquerade still echoed in full swing from behind them. Seventh room down the hall, brass key in the fourth drawer down, safe hidden away in the closet. It was their last chance, the only lead the agency had and the only hope of keeping the city from falling to shambles. The fate of everything laid on a single manilla folder, and it just so happened that said manilla folder was stashed away at the venue of one of the largest parties of the year.

A thin sheen of sweat graced Hero’s brow, though their skin was all chills. They had managed to slip past the crowd after what had been a most exhausting dance, but they only had a few minutes before the hustle of skirts and waistcoats gave way to the Supervillain’s toast. When that came, they would have to be long gone.

The hallway was deserted when Hero stepped inside, no eyes to bear their witness aside from the intricate paintings that hung on the walls. Supervillain sure was one for expensive tastes; much to Hero’s misfortune as they hated the way their collar itched and their toes pinched in shoes much too tight.

It was overwhelming, the swell of bodies. Hero had longed for hours to escape the endless chatter and hands, grasping, pulling. They despised the grip of fingers upon their waist, greedy as several of Supervillain’s guests had paraded them across the dance floor. Only they were required to play along. Their own comfort wasn’t worth risking their cover, the agency had made that quite clear.

Now as their shoes echoed across the tile floors of the dim hallway, Hero took a deep breath. Seventh door down the hall. Hero counted, a breath for each step. They rolled up their cuffs to allow for better movement. One, two, three.

The seventh door was by far the most plain of the corridor. It was as if it were trying to appear unimportant, though its lack of gold detailing and shining brass handles made it stick out like a sore thumb. Hero grinned at the sight of their target, hands already slipping to the lock picking kit they had strategically stowed away.

They made quick work of the door and slipped inside without a word. It took but a moment to scan the area. It was a study of sorts. Books lining the walls, dark cabinets, a closet, and tucked into the corner of the room lay a grand cherrywood desk. The wood grain swirled across the surface, adorned with a gloss finish and several brass knobs.

Feet padding across the carpet, Hero prayed they wouldn’t make a sound. They slipped on a pair of leather gloves, should anyone look for fingerprints they wouldn’t find any. Hand trailing down the drawers, Hero settled on the fourth.

Upon opening the drawer they were greeted with a cloud of dust and the scent of old paper. Their nose was tickled from the dirt and against their greatest efforts Hero sneezed.

“Bless you,” the voice came from seemingly nowhere. Hero flinched and snatched up the key as they whirled around. Sultry eyes met their own and Hero would have reached for their weapon if they hadn’t been so surprised.

In two steps Villain crossed the room. They two were adorned in formal dress, including a black mask that rested just on the bridge of their nose. Sequins fluttered to the floor as they slipped the mask off their face and placed it in their pocket. “If I had known any better, I would say you aren’t supposed to be here.”

Hero’s grip tightened on the key until they could feel the brass biting into their palm. It was cold between their fingers, but a solid weight to remind them of the mission at hand. “It’s not as if you’re welcome here either,” Hero said. “Since when does Supervillain invite you to their parties?”

“They don't, haven’t since I made the last one an absolute spectacle,” Villain stepped closer and the Hero in turn took a step back. The drawer pushed closed behind their knees. “After they took my glory, well… I figured I should take something of theirs.”

Something in Villain’s eyes screamed of revenge. Hero was almost certain the Supervillain had caused more than a little embarrassment over a party. This glory Villain spoke of was hardly broken easily.

Still, Hero was not here to help their enemy redeem their injured pride. The key in their palm was gripped tightly. They slipped it into their pocket, just as Villain’s eyes trailed to their hand.

“You’re trying to hide something from me aren’t you?”

“I’m not hiding it. I’m simply protecting it from you”

That drew a laugh from the Villain, “I see. You want what I do, only you’ll take it for some stupid reason. Saving the world or something hopeless like that.”

“Keeping people alive is not hopeless!” Hero drew the key from their pocket and instead clutched it to their chest. Hidden in the closet. The safe was hidden in the closet. Just a few more steps and they could finish the mission.

“Oh but isn’t it darling?” The pet name spurred Hero from their thoughts. They hadn’t noticed how Villain crept closer, nor the finger that trailed down the desk, a mere inches away from Hero’s form. And yet, not a single fingerprint, Villain had worn gloves of their own to ensure that. Ensure no one would ever know. “You work all day and all night to stop a lot of things my dear. Supervillain, me, do you ever think we’ll stop?” Their breath ghosted the shell of Hero’s ear, “You’re better off just to take care of your pretty self.”

Just then the Hero felt a gentle tug on the key. A flick of their eyes revealed Villain had reached for it during their speech. Now discovered they tried to pull it from Hero’s grip.

It was a dance of sorts. One moment the tension built as the two locked eyes, both of their hands enclosed around the single item of brass. The next was a blur of movement that erupted in something truly musical.

Villain had managed to knock the key from Hero’s fingers and caught it out of the air. Before Hero could grab it back they had jumped away, holding the possession like a prize.

“Such a shame, the Hero wasted all their precious energy in the ballroom.” As if to accentuate their point Villain spun, avoiding the heel of Hero’s boot by an inch.

They locked eyes across the desk, two pairs of hands settled on the table. Only one holding the key. Hero steadied themself. One, two, three…

Hero thrust forward, grasping at the Villain’s wrists. Their feet shuffled towards their nemesis, quick to cover ground. They were inches apart, but a breath between their faces- only to be torn apart again as the Villain stumbled.

That was thanks to Hero who had swept the criminal’s legs from beneath them while they had focused on keeping hold of the key. Now the brass trinket dropped to the ground and landed with a soft thud on the carpet.

Hero lunged for the key, ignoring the sharp burn that came as their skin slid across the floor. Their rolled sleeves threatened to slip down their shoulders and their hair was disheveled. It tumbled in front of their forehead in thick dark curls, nearly covering their icy gaze. They scrambled to their feet just as Villain regained their senses.

The Hero tried to tuck the key into their pocket as they had done before though the Villain clutched the back of their shirt in their fingers, yanking them back. Hero stumbled and banged their hip hard on the corner of the desk. It was sure to leave a bruise in the morning.

On and on they fought, slowly becoming less aware of their surroundings. Carpet twisted under their heels and papers flew from where they had been neatly stacked on the desk. Thrown punches left pens scattered across the floor while well placed dodges made dents appear in places they definitely shouldn’t be.

Hero had nearly reached the closet, key in hand before they felt a pressure around their wrist. It yanked back with a sharp force and they were left pinned against the desk, Villain’s arms bracing either side of their hips.

Neither side had realized how long they had been fighting. It was almost a surprise for Hero to gaze into Villain’s eyes, sweat dripping down their temple. They were panting, cheeks flushed from the fight and yet their eyes still remained intense, trained on the Hero with a fiery gaze. Beneath their rumpled shirt Hero could now catch a glimpse of their collar beneath and the skin that shone with a thin layer of perspiration.

“What do you say we end this game, hm?” Villain’s voice was lower than before. They were utterly still, not so much as a hair shifted as their voice dropped to a mere whisper. “Give me the key.”

Hero tensed, “And if I refuse?” Their fist closed tighter until they could feel the key’s imprint sharp in their palm.

“Well then,” Villain raised a brow, “I suppose I would have to take it from you.” Their hand rose from where it had been braced on the desk. It shot towards Hero where their fingers slid around the crime-fighter's wrist just as the door latch clicked open.

Panic shot through the Villain’s eyes, merely a sliver of fear, before the hand constricting Hero’s wrist shot to the back of their neck and dragged them forward.

Their lips collided, Villain suddenly feverish as they trailed kisses across the Hero’s face. Hero didn’t have time to think, though everything erupted around them, a swirl of emotions. They tried to pull away, this was wrong, this was so very wrong- Villain’s grip was like a vice, keeping them pinned in place. Their mouth drifted, brushing lips along Hero’s jaw, “Play along or they might take us both,” they breathed.

Hero obeyed, arms slipping down from where they had pushed against the Villain’s chest and instead settling on their hips. From the corner of their eye Hero caught a face, pale white as it observed from the doorway, but still present. That just wouldn’t do.

Without warning, Hero fisted the front of Villain’s shirt and deepened the kiss. Villain gasped and Hero captured it, smirking a little as they did so.

Though it had seemed to be ages, the door finally clicked shut and the two nemeses were left alone again.

Hero broke away first, hands slipping back tightly to their sides. The key was still in their palm, they had refused to let go no matter what. When Villain gained their bearings, they almost seemed shocked. If they had looked even a bit presentable before then they sure didn’t anymore. Eyes widened, their face was a deep crimson, though now Hero believed it wasn’t just from the fight.

“You never told me you could do that,” Villain breathed.

“Pardon?” Hero had the nerve to look surprised. Of all people to say such things, it had never crossed their mind that Villain-

The hands returned to the sides of the desk and Hero was again trapped. Something yearning resided in Villain’s gaze, though with it there was also a hint of curiosity. “Did you mean it?”

“What? The kiss?” Villain nodded slightly and Hero nearly exploded. “You told me to play along! If anything I saved us from getting caught!”

“Oh we were caught, just not in the way you may have intended.” As Villain spoke, Hero's eyes swept across the floor. Flung papers and toppled items- oh god, what they must have thought the two were doing-

Villain’s hand caught Hero’s chin, drawing their gaze up, “Don’t look so frightened, you’ll spoil that pretty blush on your cheeks, unless of course it was a lie all along and that passion I felt from you was nothing more than a falsehood.”

“I-” The Hero was speechless. Of course it was a lie, they had panicked. It had been the only way, the only chance of not getting spotted. There were no other options, nothing Hero could have done-

And yet as Hero gazed into the eyes of their enemy they felt something flutter within their chest. Maybe they had felt something, a fleeting sensation just as they always seemed to fluster around the Villain. The same way the banter they shared brought a heat to Hero’s cheeks. Normal, it was completely normal for their ears to redden at the sight of Villain’s face or for their gaze to linger just a second longer on the curve of their jaw.

“Your silence concerns me,” Villain leaned close, “Almost as if you’re questioning yourself.”

“I’m not, I would never. You’re evil.” Hero tried to look away, to think about anything else.They had to get to the safe. Supervillain’s secrets, they had a mission to uphold.

The hand gripping their chin slid down their neck and settled on Hero’s shoulders. It drew a gasp from them as they felt the leather of Villain’s glove against their skin, circling where their collar had become undone. “With the display you just put on my dear, I believe you’re just as capable of doing evil things.”

The words were stolen from Hero’s throat. This was treachery, against everything they had lived for. Even the mere mention of such things had to be some kind of crime. They needed the Villain to stop talking. They did so the only way they could think of.

Their lips crashed together and for a moment Villain was shocked, though they soon understood. It was intoxicating. Villain’s hands had started on the corners of the desk though they didn’t stay there for long. One tangled in Hero’s hair, playing with the curls and jerking their head back so they could trail kisses down their throat. Everything about this screamed wrong, though Hero couldn’t find the motivation to stop.

Their own fingers gripped the Villain’s forearms, thumbs brushing delicately over the skin on the inside of their wrists. It left the Villain in ruins, so much that they ducked away for a moment only to tug at their gloves. The key was long forgotten, falling to the floor without so much as a second glance.

“Villain- fingerprints,” Hero whispered.

“Who’s to say I don’t want Supervillain to know we were here?” Villain murmured against the shell of their ear just as their hands slid down Hero’s waist, cool to the touch. It made Hero shiver. “I say it's about time this party became interesting.”

Villain was silenced as Hero kissed them deeper and they were left within the shadows of the study. The mission drifted to the back of Hero’s mind, an afterthought. As the night drew on they drank in the feeling of Villain. It was likely that they would never feel such a thing again. It was quite forbidden after all.

Only as the sounds of distant chatter faded did they begin to separate. Still, each inch apart was compensated by a gentle press of lips, an embrace that lingered a moment longer, hands that squeezed tightly, a goodbye with a promise that maybe- just maybe it wouldn’t be the last. Hero sure hoped such things were true.

In the morning, Supervillain would come to find the room unlocked. They would frantically rush to their safe and find that too had been opened, the manilla folder inside nothing more than a memory. And on the floor would be a single brass key, glimmering beneath the cherrywood desk, which after rounds of testing would reveal two sets of fingerprints and a very infuriated Supervillain.

Fictober 2023 22: “Who takes care of you?”

Clara bit her bottom lip as she hurried through the back alley. Even in the middle of the day the place was gloomy and the shadows seemed too dark and too close. Finally, after what felt like hours she finally found the storefront she had been searching for.

There were only two narrow windows of frosted glass on either side of the ornate wooden door. Reaching in her pocket for the key, he slid it into the lock. Metal grated on metal. It felt like the lock hadn't been opened for years, but it slowly turned and clicked into place.

Retrieving her key, she stuffed it back into her pocket and turned the knob. For a second she was afraid it would just come off in her hand, but it turned with relative ease in spite of the squeak allowing her to open the door.

She hadn't been sure what to expect when she stepped into the shop, but this was certainly not it. It smelled of dust and age, but not mold or mildew. More like the scent of old books and spices. Everything had a thin layer of dust on it, but was incredibly intact. No broken glass in the cases, the empty shelves wee pristine, there was even an ancient looking cash register sitting on the counter.

Locking the door behind her, she walked across the room and set her purse down on one of the counters. Studying the shelves, she was stunned to find that they were made of heavy, solid wood, not particle board like she had been expecting. This place would have been worth what she had paid for it had it been empty, but with all of this already in place it would save her a fortune towards getting her occult book store up and running.

She had just started checking the locks on the back of one of the cabinets when she heard a soft, high pitched trill. At first she thought it was just a bird trapped somewhere until she listened a little more closely. It was humming. A lovely little even tune, high pitched and childlike coming from a doorway behind the counter.

She made a face as she pushed aside the beaded curtain which was filled with cobwebs and groped along the wall for a light switch. She found one and clicked it on, filling the room with a dim yellow light.

She gazed into what had to be a storage room. More of those big, sturdy shelves lined the walls and a few small tables were placed here and there. The humming was louder in this room, but it was beautiful. She knew she should be on edge, but there was something about the music that was so soothing.

It seemed to be coming from an ornate wooden box setting on one of the tables towards the back of the room. It was a dark brown color with lighter sides that were colored with a green wood stain. A design was inlaid with what looked like a thin layer of gold and a brass latch was on the front of the lid. The lid itself was some kind of breathable wooden mesh.

She tapped at the top of the lid and the music stopped. She heard a soft tapping return from inside of the box followed by what sounded like some kind of gibberish. The voice was almost child like. Nervously, she reached out and undid the latch.

Slowly the lid opened and two little hairless hands, each with two fingers and a thumb poked out from beneath the lid. Slowly tow huge brown eyes came into view as the little creature peeked out. It's head was short and wide, covered in brown and white fur save for a small, almost monkey-like muzzle. Two huge, hairless ears, long and pointed stuck out from the sides of its head. It smiled and waved at Clara, not fully opening the box.

Her heart thrummed in her chest. She had never seen anything so adorable in her life. It was almost like a living teddy bear. She opened the lid and very carefully lifted the creature out of the box. It was so excited it gave a little kick, knocking the box over backwards.

“Oh my god, you poor thing! How long have you been in there? Who takes care of you?” She cradled the creature like an infant as she carried it out of the back room.

She didn't see the small card that fell out of the box as it toppled over backwards. It fluttered slowly to the floor and landed face-up just in front of one of the shelves. It simply read:

MOGWAI

DO NOT EXPOSE TO BRIGHT LIGHT

DO NOT EXPOSE TO WATER

DO NOT FEED AFTER MIDNIGHT

Chapter 4.3: The Rainbow and The Echo

Maxim cut the invisible creature’s laughter short as his copper bullet found purchase in its body. The shriveled creature, suddenly, materialized high on the ceiling above the bathroom counter; and its tan skin cracked on impact. The creature’s carved skin floated into the smoky air as the creature drew a rattling breath. It held three long, taloned fingers on each hand and its sallow skin revealed its bones. It twitched and writhed before it relaxed. Its body curled into a tight ball and the singular milky eye rolled back in its head.

“An Oris. The love children of an Io and an Iris. They turn invisible at will and their voices are powerful instruments of confusion.” Maxim explained.

“Rainbows and echoes.” Antwan murmured. “I’ve never seen one before.”

The Oris lurched to its feet and clawed the air. Maxim’s copper bullet was lodged in its windpipe, and it no longer cast its screeches into their brains. Antwan bawled his fist and struck the creature between the eyes and the mythical creature crumpled to the ground in a heap of parchment skin. It was dead.

“A direct message from the Eternal family.” said Maxim. “An Oris is only capable of repeating what someone says.”

“And if the Mont-Claires sent this after us, who else did they send?” asked Antwan.

“What else...” Maxim thought. “We don’t have long before they find us here and I don’t think we’ll survive another in this lovely bed and breakfast.”

“I’ll find some keys.” Antwan volunteered.

Maxim followed close behind Antwan, and they trudged down the winding stairs. The Oris’ metallic voice ran in his ears. He may have shot the abnormal creature, but the copper bullet did not the pounding echo reverberating around in his head.

“Do you feel that?” Maxim called. “The Oris’ screams are still splitting my head open.”

“It’s an Orisean echo, I think, and if I remember correctly, it goes away over time or it stays with you until...” Antwan trailed off.

“Until they find me.” Maxim finished.

“We gotta find Bernard.” Antwan offered. “Fast.”

“You think we need the case?” Maxim asked.

“We’re in deep shit, Max.,” said Antwan. “We need all the help we can get.”

Maxim suppressed a smile. His husband was on his side no matter how angry he was. He followed behind Antwan pushed a sizable door open. They emerged into a sumptuous carriage house, and he stopped in his tracks.

The light-colored bricks and massive arched windows made the space feel infinite and Maxim busied himself in the kitchenette. He rummaged through brass knobbed cabinets. He slammed the doors as quickly as he opened them and found it. He turned to the kitchen island with a bottle and a glass. A slab of solid oak sat atop the floating counter and Maxim wrapped it with his knuckle as he sat his pristine glass down. He pulled the cork from an old bottle of dark liquor with his teeth and spat it into the sink before he held the odd-shaped bottle out to his husband.

“You serious?” Antwan growled. “Now?!”

“I’ll take that as a no.”

Maxim tossed back the room temperature scotch and rinsed his glass. He wrapped the glass in a nearby towel and opened another cabinet. The metallic clang of jingling keys greeted him with their cheerful clashes, and he picked a set dangling from a turquoise, boot-shaped keychain. He mashed the button for the car alarm and waited.

“Dead battery?” Antwan asked.

“Nah, just old school.” Maxim pondered.

They moved into the garage. Antwan’s steps thundered off the polished concrete as he pulled the dusty cover off a beat-up Ford Bronco with chipped white paint and a missing fender. He tossed his husband a smile.

“Down for a joyride?” he asked.

Kitchen Facelift On A Budget: Affordable Makeovers

Homeowners are looking for options for a kitchen remodel that won't break the bank because of the rising costs of large-scale renovations. Fortunately there are minor facelifts including paint, equipment and lighting that can update the look without broad development from your Bakersfield general worker for hire. Instead of undertaking extensive gut renovations, these cost-effective makeovers produce stunning transformations that concentrate on important details.

Strategic Color Schemes One of the most straightforward kitchen facelifts is another layer of paint in effective, on-pattern tones. To open up dark, small kitchens, experts in kitchen remodeling Bakersfield recommend cool colors like airy pastels or sleek gray. Multi-tone schemes add a special depth, while deep hues can make a bold style statement. Think past walls - shading cupboards, islands, roofs and different components can emphatically shift the vibe. Blend sheens like serious shine bases with level complement walls for surface. If you are plan colors strategically rather than completely changing or replacing them, you can achieve polished looks on a budget.

Hardware Updates Something as basic as changing out kitchen equipment like handles, pulls, installations and sinks are can modernize the space immediately. A completely different style is conveyed when outdated brass handles are replaced with sleek black pulls or knobs that are inspired by antiques. Brushed metals like bronze, gold, and gunmetal completes are generally on pattern and give a top of the line look. For maximum eclectic impact, it is popular to mix metal finishes. Similarly think about light installations and one of a kind option in contrast to the customary downward facing light. LED task lighting or one-of-a-kind pendant lamps, chandeliers, or sconces can make a big impact. Also, new sink-spigot mixes change kitchen usefulness rapidly. For task, mood, and decorative lighting, includes pendant lamps, sleek tracks, or accent lighting fixtures. Very much picked kitchen embellishments bring cohesiveness and character financially, shares kitchen remodeling Bakersfield organizations.

Refacing For Facelifts Instead of replacing kitchen cabinetry, an affordable and effective technique is refacing – replacing doors and altering finishes of box frames. Dingy oak cabinets get remarkably modern with lacquered door replacements in gray tones. Conversely, vinyl-wrapped doors can give newer plain cabinets extra warmth and dimension through realistic wood veneers. Aside from doors, refacing cabinet fronts alone through framing, trim and panels also ups sophistication. General Contractor Bakersfield contractors recommend this impactful compromise between alterations and full installations.

Quick Countertop Swaps Though switching countertops fully is pricey, budget-friendly overlays or resurfacing existing counters mimic high-end looks. New quartz, marble or concrete-printed glosses applied atop old counters mustn’t entail tear-outs. Or opt for new solid surface sheets cut to size for overlay directly over worn laminates or tiles. Edge with updated treatments like bullnose, ogee, chamfer profiles. As long as existing counters are structurally sound, these overlays offer cheaper facelifts. For whole slabs, lower-cost prefab counters mimic pricier natural stone aesthetics these days.

A complete kitchen overhaul with expansions, layout changes and new cabinetry installations undoubtedly makes dramatic impacts – but smaller preserving makeovers deserve equal merit. Minor updates across colors, hardware, cabinet resurfacing, accessories and countertop glosses can profoundly transform kitchens without breaking budgets from your general contractor Bakersfield teams. Implementing little upgrades strategically rather than giant demolition allowing preservation also ties into ethical remodeling practices. For instantly renewed kitchen joy minus regrets, opt for a preserving facelift focusing on key surfaces and fixtures rather than large-scale guts.

Tips On Selecting Cabinet Materials And Hardware For Your Kitchen

Your kitchen cabinets are essential for both practicality and style. Your kitchen may be made into a fashionable and functional area by choosing the appropriate cabinet materials and hardware. In this blog post, we will provide valuable tips to help you make wise choices when it comes to cabinets and hardware.

Let's read it out:

Consider Cabinet Materials

Solid Wood: Solid wood cabinets are a timeless option that is renowned for their strength and beauty. Different colours and patterns of grain may be seen in species including oak, maple, cherry, and birch. Remember that solid wood might expand or contract in response to variations in humidity, so make sure you seal and maintain it properly.

Plywood: Wood veneer is layered several times to create plywood cabinets. They are frequently used as a powerful and affordable alternative since they are sturdy and warp-resistant. For visually appealing plywood, look for veneer finishes that is of the highest calibre.

MDF (Medium-Density Fiberboard): Cabinets are made of resin and compressed wood fibres. They offer a consistent, flat surface that is ideal for veneering or painting. MDF is a reasonably priced alternative that can be tailored to create a variety of looks.

Laminate: Particleboard or engineered wood is covered in a synthetic material layer for laminate cabinets. They are a flexible option for contemporary kitchens since they are available in an extensive array of hues and patterns. Laminate is reasonably priced and simple to maintain.

Thermofoil: MDF, or particleboard, is covered in a surface layer of vinyl film in thermofoil cabinets. They are renowned for being moisture-resistant and having a smooth, seamless look. Modern kitchen designs commonly use thermofoil cabinets.

Make Hardware Selection Your Top Priority

Pulls versus knobs: Select the knob or pull type of cabinet hardware. Pulls have a solid grip and a more contemporary design, whereas knobs have a simple, classic appearance. To give your kitchen design more dimensions, you may combine and match them.

Material and Finish: Hardware comes in various materials like stainless steel, brass, chrome, and even glass. Consider the existing elements in your kitchen, such as appliances and faucets, when selecting a finish to ensure cohesive aesthetics.

Size and Scale: Your hardware size needs to match the size of your cabinets. While smaller cabinets and drawers may look best with smaller knobs or pulls, larger cabinets may benefit from longer pulls or handles. Make sure the hardware's scale in the room seems balanced.

Functionality: Pay attention to the hardware's capabilities. Your cabinets' usefulness can be improved by adding soft-close mechanisms and handles that are simple to grasp. Make sure the hardware is pleasant to use by giving it a test.

Consistency: Keep your kitchen's hardware looking and feeling the same throughout. A cohesive style gives the design cohesion and a professional appearance.
