(image id: 6 screenshots of the greater boston transcript. the first screenshot reads: “LEON (sounding tired)”. the second screenshot reads: “LEON: i - uhh - i can’t think straight. it’s as if...i...i need to rest. i need to rest. i need... sleep.”
the third screenshot reads: “LEON (simultaneous) - i think i need to rest. the fourth screenshot reads: “LEON: i - this is getting more challenging to - to - ...keep straight. ugh.”
the fifth screenshot is two excerpts from the transcript stacked on eachother. the one on the top reads “and all i can say is holy shit, leon. i don’t even know how you keep doing it. but you saved me again. like clockwork.
the one on the bottom reads: “ethan had recently read an article about the man who runs the master clock of the world, which most electronic devices used as the universal standard. this was a delicate position requiring incredibly intricate work, and not nearly as easy as some untutored boob would lead one to believe. the disgusting clumsiness embedded into all the ways laymen brayed about time, with purposefully simplistic sentences meant to lull dull minds into confident forms of foolishness. “like clockwork.” if there was no work at all! as if time just pushed the hands of the clocks by itself, through some grand mystical power. meanwhile, discussion of what it takes to master the brilliant delicacy of rendering time? one requires “surgical precision.” ask anyone who’s ever had surgery just how precise the pain was. the master clock position appealed to ethan. he’d be up for taking on the task, of course. perhaps one day he’d make it his ambition. but for now…“ there’s a highlighted segment. “”like clockwork as if there was no work at all!”
the sixth screenshot reads: “LEON: is that-is that an actual feeling of... remorse? i'm feeling-feeling too much. from far too many these days.“ end image id.)
.
...i can’t help but get the feeling that leon is probably going to be reaching his limit soon...
#i yell into the abyss#greater boston#greater boston spoilers#this is certainly a guy who is very tired if i've ever seen one!#i know he agreed to help gemma with red line but uh.............................. frankly i wouldn't at all blame him for peacing out#(i'm actually kind of hoping he does!)#also i'm sure hoping gemma wouldn't blame him for peacing out either because By God! That Looks Bad!#leon stamatis#also sorry for the weird image formatting but it was Important to me that they were Square and this is the only way i could think to do it#there's a whole thing like ''gemma'll help leon escape the crystal ball if he helps her with red line''#and i'm like yeahh.... but i uh...... don't really think he should HAVE to help her with red line in order for her to let him out#even ignoring the fact that it's her fault he's stuck in there anyway....... keeping him trapped in there just cuz he won't help her#................would be pretty messed up :(#there's also the little added part of the deal where she'll help him reunite with his siblings if he helps her and that's. better? i guess?#but again... getting him to his siblings is something that she could VERY EASILY do..... AND he's been stuck in there for YEARS.............#leon's helping her right now mostly because she asked normally and he wants to. but i feel like he shouldn't HAVE TO to like. EARN FREEDOM.#you know????????????#anyway: arugula's trailer got me wondering if we're going to be learning more about leon's character......#i guess we'll find out! <3#the images have comments attached to them that transcribe them

 SERVER'S NOTES : stan twice!!! this was a warm up to prepare for my soon chuuya angst fic... sorry for the wait :( btw here is the playlist of all the songs for each character! i'll make a pt 2 with nikolai and fyodor . :) this was super fun to write lol
Tumblr media
   chuuya nakahara ! The Feels
chuuya has seen you practice the choreography a couple of times . he doesn't really mind when the music blasts and just lets it slide because he loves you so much ! chuuya doesn't know much about kpop but he's heard a couple in your playlists , and hears you play the same ones over and over again ... not like he doesn't mind though . despite it not being his actual music taste, he secretly enjoys listening to it sometimes and it's his guilty pleasure . when he sees you dancing all silly , he can't help but smile in awe . he thinks it's so funny and cute seeing you put your all into it !!
" YOU HAVE STOLEN MY HEART OH YEAHH NEVER GONNA LET IT GO OH OH NO NEVER IT LET IT GO OH OH OH- "
" well uh shit... am i interrupting something here ? "
" lightning straight to my heart oh yeaAAAH WHAT THE FUCK CHUUYA- "
oh, but when you encourage him to dance with you ? who is he to say no with that stupid smile of yours ? no matter how silly it is , he WILL do it .
" ...so uh- "
" ...crash course twice choreography . "
" ...what ? "
" you know what , chuu ? you're in perfect timing . you should really join me !! come on , i'll teach you twice choreography ! "
" huh ?? woah woAH WOAH- WAIT HOLD ON NOW- "
although he is a bit hesitant , he always gives in . and with no regrets after whatsoever !!! he's a very quick learner too with lots of flexibility !
" one , two , three , four , five , six , seven , eight ! one , two , three and four , five and six and seven , eight ! good ! just make sure to bend your knees a bit more... and then... stretch them ! "
" uhuh, okay... like this ? my god- this dance is kinda hard... how'd ya even manage this ? "
" not to worry , chuu ! just like that !! YOU DID IT !! "
"holy fucking shit . I DID IT . "
overall , 9/10 is super into it . always exaggerates his moves but at least it shows he's having fun !! bonus points for being a new little distraction he can do at work ! has definitely had a couple of his colleagues walk in on him . whoopsies !
" you have stolen my heart oh yeah... never let it go oh oh no , never gonna let it go , oh , oh , oh... "
" uh... sir ? the... documents... "
" lightning straight to my heart oh yeaa- GOD WHAT THE FUCK ?! oh . it's you . the documents ? yeah yeah , uh... go put them... over there . "
" ......sir- "
" no . if it's about that , then i don't want to hear it . "
Tumblr media
   osamu dazai ! FANCY
dazai's favorite pastime ? learning twice choreography . and what better ? with you !! he's had his ass dragged into your little dance classes sooo many times... (not like he's complaining though !) he knows somewhat about kpop , he likes listening to it with you (and for shits and giggles . ) also loves to see you dance to the songs yourself !! always tries to copy you so much so he ends up distracting you because it's funny , causing you to mess up the entire choreography :( when he hears the music play , that's when he knows it's time to crash course learn twice choreography !
" ...'samu ! "
" yes lovely ? "
" do you know what time it is ? "
" hmm..... four-thirty . "
" stupid , not the actual time ! c'moooonnnn you knowww thissss... "
" well color me clueless . "
" 'samu.... "
" i'm kidding! hmm... oh , don't tell... it's that time , isn't it ?! "
" you're so right... IT'S TIME TO CRASH COURSE LEARN TWICE CHOREOGRAPHY ! "
a little slower learning the choreography (because mf can't take it seriously sometimes) , but once he gets the hang of it you bet fucker WILL be hitting those moves whenever has the chance .
" it seems another job well done to us for solving the mystery , bella ! oh , OH , OHH !! i feel a song coming ... LET'S HIT IT , [name] !!! ohhh yes GET IT !! "
of course being dazai, you can't have a dance lesson with a little chaos in between ! but that's what makes it even more fun !
" one, two, three and four... no 'samu, that's not how do it ! "
" hehehe. fancyyyy youuu ooh-ooh-ooh- "
" DAZAI THE TABLE-?! "
" ouchieeee.... !!! bellaaaa~ help me out hereeeee... my hips huuurrrrrt !!!! "
" oh my god... "
overrall , 9/10 very chaotic but totally fun experience ! he enjoys it far too much for his own liking . he does a few freestyle moves of his own to " jazz up " the dance takes your dance lessons to HEART . period . kunikida always scolds him at work :P
" OI DAZAI . this isn't some dance class . get back to work !! "
" whaaaat ? sorry kunikida~ i can't hear you right now over the music !! my dearest [name] just taught me how to dance ! and i feel so POWERFUL !! OHH , keep quiet now !! THIS IS MY FAVORITE PART !! "
" DAZAI- "
Tumblr media
   atsushi nakajima ! TT
atsushi is a very interesting case when it comes to learning choreography... he tries his best though ! i feel like atsushi is very open to different kinds of music , so kpop is no different to him and enjoys listening to it ! super fascinated by how you managed to learn the dances . always slides in compliments after you finish with a little clap !! atsushi NEVER thinks about learning the choreography himself . he just likes listening to the music . but who is he to say no to you ?
" atsu !! "
" [name] !! what's the matter ? did something happen ? "
" atsushi . you know the one thing that you're missing right now ? it's that you NEED to crash course learn twice choreography with me . there's no backing out now !! "
" wha- ??? wait- HUH ???? "
poor boy is unfortunately a slow learner when it comes to dancing... but he's trying !!! his moves are a bit stiff , but just a little more practice and instructing will do !!!
" it's easy ! one , two , three , four , five , six , seven, eight ! can you try that for me ? "
" umm... one... two... three... four and five and six and seven eight... ?! did i do it ? "
" close !! there's room for improvement , though ! you're doing great though ! for your first time and the easiest twice choreography to learn ! "
" EASIEST ?!? aaahhhh... this is so hard , [name] ..... can we take a break ? "
practices whenever he can . you've seen and walked in on him practicing in front of the mirror and he's always gets soo embarrassed , but slowly he's starting to get the hang of it and you're so proud of him !!!
" one , two , three , four , five , six , seven , eight... "
" well , someone's been doing their homework ! "
" [name] ?! WHERE DID YOU COME FROM- "
overrall , 7/10 . he's proud to know he's finally learned how to perform twice choreography ! (even if the process was literal hell) obviously still struggles sometimes , but very silly and cute when he does it ! kyouka has walked in on him a few times... but she doesn't seem to mind !
" one , two , three , four...- "
" ...why are you dancing ? "
" YEAOW- oh... it's just you , kyouka... practicing this dance [name] taught me ! ah , where was i again...? one , two , three , four , five , six , seven , eight... "
" i didn't know they could dance . maybe i'll ask them about it later... "

anyone want to hear my six of crows x jane austen's emma au. yes of course you do don't be silly. the only person allowed to be silly is me as I descend into madness in the course of trying to cast this. (if you think 'I've heard this before' yes I've posted abt it before tho I think it was on my main)
kaz is emma, a bored, overintelligent rich bitch stuck in a country house with a bunch of shit idiot neighbours and almost no one to entertain or match him. fucking useless dad per haskell / mr woodhouse is a weaksauce hypochrondriac, and jordie / isabella has gone and got married and ditched kaz, the bastard. the only consolation is their neighbour inej / mr knightley, who is rich, sensible, popular, and elegible as hell... glory be, an intellectual equal for kaz!
in order to be less bored, kaz takes on a protege, mysterious randomer and natural son wylan / harriet smith, who kaz decides to mould in his own image and make a good match for. wylan is in love with gentleman farmer jesper / robert martin, but kaz is a snob and tries to push him towards local vicar kuwei / mr elton (I KNOW. I'M SORRY KUWEI), but that all goes tits up bc turns out kaz is a fucking terrible matchmaker, who'd've known.
meanwhile, unassuming and a little cold, but locally well-liked matthias / jane fairfax has arrived back in the village, and kaz busily commences hating on him because he's another accomplished young man and he makes him feel inadequate. hot on his heels comes the mysterious nina / frank churchill (NINA I'M SO SORRY I FUCKING HATE FRANK BUT THIS IS WHAT WORKS FOR THE COUPLES YOU CAN BE A NICE FRANK CHURCHILL ): ), who kaz is kind of fascinated by and enjoys sparring with, and hence kind of misses the really obvious signs that nina and matthias are secretly engaged, even though inej, ever thief of secrets, has lowkey noticed something's up, like matthias getting mysterious gifts from someone. kaz ends up being convinced that possibly it's inej that's pursuing matthias, which nina encourages because it helps her cover, and kaz kinda panics.
everyone has petty village drama which culiminates when kaz sneers at pekka rollins / miss bates (LISTEN. LI actually you don't need to listen bc I laughed out loud when I thought of this comparison but hear me out, if you just think of it as the equivalent of the church of barter scene except instead of 'I buried him' it's 'when have you ever stopped at three?' it kind of works. sorry to miss bates tho who is still kinda my fave austen character) at box hill, which culminates in inej going BOY WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM and kaz is like wow she kind of has a point should I be a better person :/
uhh what else even happens. there's a ball after nina massively encourages one, inej saves wylan from being partnerless and later dances with kaz (think of the gloveless dance scene from the 2020 adaptation? yeah? yeahh??). the regency gender conventions here are getting so messed up lmao, never mind. in emma harriet fancies herself in love with mr knightley and emma is forced to realise that she likes him, so let's say that wylan pretends to be after inej, in order to strong arm kaz into realising that he's wanted to marry inej this entire time. wylan's dad turns out to be minted (I'm stretching the book here to make it work w SOC but never mind) but that's after kaz has admitted he fucked up and sent wylan off to marry gentleman farmer jesper, yaaay. nina's relatives who are stopping her from marrying matthias die and hence there's a massive revelation with 'oh they were engaged this whole time lol', kaz is PISSED bc he didn't clock it. uh. everyone gets married and now kaz can escape the shit village and actually go places. the end.

4: The Riewa Shield
Date: 10-11-2016 IDST
Nalitie: *crashes through the non-existent roof of Dukermin's house* DUKERMIN I HAVE A FEELING OF IMPENDING DOOM.
Dukermin: Oh okay hi.
Nalitie: This morning, Christine was saying something about.... Golden flower tea or something? And now I feel like something bad is going to happen... Like we're forgetting something.
Dukermin: Oh dear lord... riewa shield....
Nalitie: Crap. *to the world* Hey, world--let's have a really dramatic countdown!
4 Days Until Impending Doom
Doom Spoon: *spontaneously falls out of the sky*
Nalitie: OH MY *faints* *a few unconsciousnesses later* *is back* ALRIGHT let's do this.
Dukermin: WELL YEAH but how...?
Nalitie: Um... I'm thinking nanofiber yarn, because that stuff is pretty strong, and maybe some candy reinforcement... um.... And maybe Alphys and the Voltas could help with... like.... Technological security?
Dukermin: Good idea, ad I can help do a thinng with my cosmologystuff.
Nalitie: Oh! And logic from Piggy, because Flowey really shouldn't be able to get off the planet anyway....
Dukermin: Or be able to move or talk really because he's a flower...
Nalitie: True, but... DETERMINATION... I guess? ANYWAY WE DON'tT have time for this because we have, uh... 192 hours or so. Which sounds like a lot but it isn't.
Dukermin: true. Where shall we start?
Nalitie: Um... well, maybe we should go to Riewa first, and make sure Flowey's... Y'know, still there.
Dukermin: Okay, lets be careful though...
Nalitie: YEahh.... *and then they went to Riewa*
*And then they were at Riewa I guess...
Nalitie: *surveying the surface*
Dukermin: Whheere do we start looking...?
Nalitie: Um.... Weellll... Where would you go if you were Flowey?
Dukermin: I don't know somewhere with water... Or people to manipulate...
Nalitie: Yeah, probably... Are there evven peple on Riewa though?
Dukermin: No not at the moment... Not that I know of...
Nalitie: Wellll.... There's us? Let's just... *aimless wandering*
Dukermin: *Aimless wandering* *boredom* Maybe there's a way to draw him to us... ?
Nalitie: How about.... *throws, um, ffflllloweer.... Fertilizer pellets.......?*
*suddenly, Flowey*
Flowey: *is probably thirsty and starving because riewa is desolate*
Nalitie: YAAARGH *captures him in, uh, a butterfly net* Wait, now what?
Dukermin: I don't know! *waters flowey through net* SORRY
Nalitie: Well... He's still here, at least. I was kinda expecting him to not be, actually.
Flowey: *great, now you've given him ideas*
Nalitie: We should... go find Hope.
Dukermin: Um yeah *runs away*
Nalitie: *follows, leaving the butterfly net and opening a lunchbox*
Flowey: *Attempts to throw friendliness pellets from far away and through a net before disappearing into ground*
Nalitie: *to Dukermin* To Aeuton? *offers portal*
Dukermin: Yep *to aeuton*
*on Aeuton*
Aeutonians: *doing... whatever they're doing*
Nalitie and Dukermin: *appear from the portal*
Dukermin: I don't think I've really been here much before...
Nalitie: Really? Well, I'll have to give you a tour BUT NOT RIGHTN OW BECAUse we are running out of time.
Dukermin: Okay let's do the thing *off to find Hope*
*in the Volta household*
Hope: *probably knitting while Shay is doing whatever he's doing....*
Dukermin: Hello!
Hope: *is slightly confused because she's only ever interacted with Dukermin once and also has been in and out of therapy since then*
Dukermin: I'm with Nalitie...
Nalitie: *in her best worst Temmie impression* hOI!
Hope: Oh, that's right... Dukermin, isn't it? *purposefully ignoring Nalitie*
Dukermin: Correct. We need help and materials.
Hope: I'd be happy to help, but before I agree, what for?
Dukermin: Total Flowey dictatorship. We'd like to not have that happen.
Hope: *actually sort of knows of Flowey because of the whole... Intra-Dimensional Guardianship thing* Oh... Then what can I do for you?
Dukermin: *to Nalitie* We are looking for yarn right?
Nalitie: *nods* Nanofiber yarn.
Dukermin: Nanofiber yarn !
Hope: *getting up* There should be some in the other room. How much do you need?
Dukermin: *to nalitie* How much do we need?
Nalitie: ... Only enough to cover a planet... Or if we don't do a complete yarn shell, enough to support the main systems of the shield.
Dukermin: Well... hmm... *To Hope* As much as you can get us!
Hope: If it's to stop a takeover, you can have my whole supply. I can always get more. *shows her to the room of yarn*
Dukermin: Yay thank you! I'd say we'll repay you but that probably won't happen.
Nalitie: Yeah... Or at least not until after the war. *to Dukermin* We can put it in my pockets. I've got a lot of room in there.
Dukermin: While we're here do you think it would be too much to ask her if we can borrow some hexipals to help with construction?
Nalitie: Oh yeah, I forogot about that part... Probably not, if Shay's willing to lend some of his personal ones.
Dukermin: *To Hope* Could we maybe get some help from the hexipals for construction? It shouldnt take too long...
Hope: Of course! We don't have very many left, but...
Dukermin: We can make do.
Hope: *Um... summons the hexipals I guess*
Dukermin: We could send tem there now... Would they be able to get construction started without any other materials?
Nalitie: Probably, but we don't know exactly what we're doing.... We should... ask Alphys.
Dukermin: They may need to be re-wired. Let's take them with us.
Nalitie: *pockets the hexipals* Well... to Pluto?
Dukermin: *mrs gloop accent* Jah wohl *to pluto*
*TO PLUTO!*
Alphys: *outside of her lab, trying to figure out how to unbury the half that's stuck in the ground*
Dukermin: ALPHYS WE NEED YOUR INTELLIGENCE
Alphys: *squeals and spins around to face Dukermin* W-wait what?
Dukermin: We need to keep Flowey from escaping Riewa and being a jerk to everyone.
Alphys: W-wait, who? D-did you say F-Flowey...?
Dukermin: a little bit yeah...
Alphys: *doesn't exactly know who that is but* O-okay, w-what do you need m-me to do?
Dukermin: Trust me it' bad. We need you to help us figure out howto ma ke a shield over the planet to keep Flowey in there.
Alphys: A-a shield? I c-can do that.
Nalitie: GREAT!
Dukermin: Currently we have nanofiber yarn to work with and nalitie has ideas for other stuff
Nalitie: Like my husband's candy and Purified LOGIC. *to Dukermin* We need to get the island. And make an extractor.
Alphys: Y-you want me t-to make a shield o-o-out of yarn, candy, a-and... Logic...?
Dukermin: Exactly. In this world everything seems to work out.
Alphys: I-I'll, uh, g-get my... *remembers the lab is sideways and embedded in the surface of Pluto*
Nalitie: We can get stuff from the Voltas.... We already have the hexipals, and we could have them bring over stuff.
Dukermin: Yeah , do that.
Nalitie: *calls them and has them get stuff and come to Pluto* *also calls her husband to come with his stuff*
Voltas and Willy Wonka: *have come to Pluto with all of the stuff*
Dukermin: YAY THANK YOU.
Nalitie: Now all we need is Purified LOGIC, but we can add that last... We should bring everyone to Riewa.
Dukermin: Okay are we going to need anything else other than logic?
Nalitie: I don't think so... Except... We shoujldn't leave everyone unprotected. *produces a bunch of miscellaneous weapons for them to use in case of attack from her pockets*
Dukermin: Cool. Are we going to Riewa?
Nalitie: Yep. *opens a lunchbox for everyone to go through*
*And to Riewa everyone went*
Nalitie: *making sure FLowey isn't right there* *sees nothing* Cool cool cool. *to all but Dukermin* So this is Riewa, our war/prison planet... We basically just need a shield around it so that a soulless flower can't escape and terrorize Erscoga.
Dukermin: Superfun place. Anyway Flowey is hanging out around here somewhere but he is not in this exact spot so that's GOOD!
Nalitie: *double thumbs up* *takes the hexipals and all of the yarn out of her pockets* The yarn is one of our building materials, along with whatever the Voltas have and, uh, whatever's on Riewa. Oh, and candy too.
Dukermin: And I can help with stuff too. I'm basically omnipotent until the powercap comes up.
Nalitie: Which we will all discuss later... ANway... building montage?
*Building montage happens*
Nalitie: Shall we? *gestures to the power switch, which she has also made blood-activated*
Dukermin: WE SHALL!
Nalitie: *steals some of Dukermin's blood to activate half of the lock and uses her own for the other half* *turns ON the shield*
Dukermin: It looks GREAT!
Nalitie: All it's missing is the LOGIC. We need the island anyway, so.... Shall we bring everyone home and then go get that?
Dukermin: Yeah. We'll have to find Green Circle Labs won't we because book dimension?
Nalitie: Yeah.... Also, we can't teleport off of Riewa now, so... um... Space gear and flying?
Dukermin: YAY I'M USEFUL *helps with escape because super cool space powers*
*and so they escaped Riewa*
*and brought everyone home *
*and went to Green Circle Labs*
*And started teleporting to the place*
*On the Island*
Piggy: *holding the Conch above his head* Which is better--to be a pack of painted Indians like you are, or to be sensible like Ralph is?
Savages: *booing*
Nalitie: *has managed to set the portal to open a little ways away from the scene* *exits the portal*
Dukermin: *follows* How are we gonna do this?
Nalitie: We should wait until he's just dying, quickly throw a portal to get him to Green Circle Labs or something so they can... un-deading him, and then take the whole island.
Dukermin: Works for me.
Roger: *pushing The Rock*
Rock: *rolls? Towards Piggy*
Dukermin: PORTAL QUICK
Nalitie: *struggles to open the Erscoga hole, but manages to do so and gets Piggy just as he's hit*
*And so Piggy went through his very first portal*
*and Nalitie and Dukermin stole the island and also a Naval Officer so the story can end*
(FIve million timeskips brought to you by idk Menards)
*back in Erscoga, in Green Circle Labs*
Piggy: *is no longer dead or dying, and also very very confused*
Dukermin: Hello Piggy! We saved your life. You owe us big time!
Piggy: You did what?
Dukermin: Saved your life... sent you through a portal right when you were about to be smashed by a rock. No big deal OH WAIT BIG DEAL!
Nalitie: And now we need to endanger your life with some horrible experiments in the name of Erscoga!
Piggy: Wh-what? Where am I? How did I get off of the island?
Dukermin: DOn't ask questions just be glad you're safe and be grateful. Be Happy Be Healthy.
Nalitie: *to Dukermin* I was just thinking, maybe we could re-use the True Lab for this. There's already a DT extractor, we could rewire it to extract LOGIC from Piggy.
Dukermin: That could work....
Nalitie: Ok, cool, let's, uh... go do that! *pockets Piggy and runs out of GCL*
Dukermin: *following...*
*on Pluto*
Alphys: *over with Callie, Sans, and Chara*
Dukermin: ALPHYS WE NEED YOU AGAIN
Alphys: *jumps* Wh-what can I d-do for you?
Dukermin: We need your lab or something like that
Nalitie: We need to do some very inhumane experiments, and we were thinking the True Lab would be just the right place! Also we need your DT Extractor.
Alphys: *blanches* Y-you know about t-t-that?!
Dukermin: We know a lot of things.
Nalitie: But not in a stalker-ish sort of way! Just as people obsessed with you guys *gestures around*, your lives, and your relationships!
Alphys: *is a confused mess*
Dukermin: May we borrow your lab?
Alphys: *isn't really sure, but nods hesitantly anyway*
Dukermin: Thanks you're the coolest. I'm gonna have to get you a present or something but not right now because time.
Nalitie: I have something! *gives her the first things she fishes out of her pockets, which happen to be Piggy's specs* *runs off towards the lab*
Dukermin: *you know, follows*
*and into the True Lab they went*
Dukermin: So where is the thing
Nalitie: Um.... *goes in a direction* It's in here!
Dukermin: Cool.
Nalitie: *takes Piggy out of her pocket* He can explore while we rewire this thing.
Piggy: H-hey! Where am I? I can't see without my specs!
Dukermin: Go explore! Just dont break anything.
Piggy: *does his thing*
Nalitie: So... How do we do this?
Dukermin: How am I supposed to know?
Nalitie: Well, we could... um... not ask Alphys because she doesn't need to know about this.
Dukermin: Agreed.Just mess around with some wires....
Nalitie: *pries off the panel that covers the wiring* Oh. *notes that it's all nice and labelled because organization* I still don't know how... any of this works, but that's nice.
Dukermin: Just put some stuff together that makes sense (ha because logic)
Nalitie: *does that* *shocks herself somehow* Ow... maybe we should have a hexipal do this. They're easier to rewire to do the rewiring for us...
Dukermin:do we have one available?
Nalitie: *produces one from her pocket* I kept one just in case. *rewires it and sets it to work*
Hexipal: *Doing the thing*
Nalitie: *also takes some coffee (both normal and virtual) out of her pocket and sips it*
Hexipal: *finishes*
Nalitie: Shall we test it?
Dukermin: Oh yeah..
Nalitie: *goes off to find Piggy* *comes back with him in tow and... starts whatever the process is*
DT/LOGIC Extractor: *extracts*
Dukermin: Does it work is it working
Nalitie: *watching a vial fill with a dark blue liquid* I think so. This sure as heck isn't DETERMINATION.
Dukermin: So what are we gonna do, just sprinkle it all over the shield?
Nalitie: Actually, I left a little spot for it in the power core of the shield. It should spread it for us.
DT/LOGIC Extractor: *done*
Piggy: *probably in great pain*
Dukermin: Thanks Piggy.

“ Swallowing Courage “
( DANNY WAGNER X SAM KISZKA)
CHAPTER ONE - THE BIRTHDAY BOY Authors Note: This first chapter is dedicated to @imacrowcawcaw because they are just amazing 🥁🤍. Sam and Danny are in their senior year of high school in this story, and well, you’ll see where it goes.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR DANNY.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOOUU.”
The three Kiszka boys sang loudly for their best friend, but Josh’s voice overpowered his siblings of course.
“Thank you guys.” Danny smiled, he paused and closed his eyes for a moment then blew out the candles. The cake was red velvet with white frosting. In the middle there was a drum kit drawn on with red and gold frosting, the edges of the cake were outlined with little hand drawn music notes.
The three boys clapped and cheered, then Jake and Josh went into the kitchen to get plates and forks.
“Wow dude. You didn’t wash the dishes?” Jake sighed once they reached the sink.
”Hey you were supposed to do them today, not me.” Josh shrugged his shoulders and grabbed the sponge next to the soap.
”Yeah, but I went to pick up the decorations. You should have known to do them before we started Danny’s party.” Jake complained as he put away the clean dishes to make room for the newly washed ones.
The twins continued arguing, and Sam reached over the table to grab the bottle of Jack Daniels. He already had a multiple shots before this but felt like he could handle more.
”If you both hurry up THEN we can have clean plates to eat this cake on. Right??” Sam shouted towards the kitchen, then after a few seconds he heard the water running and his brother’s voices softening.
Sam laughed and turned his head back towards Danny.
”Soo, what did you wish for Daniel?” Sam said before chasing his shot with cup of Pepsi.
”Ha. Not telling you.” Danny said.
”What! Just say it. I know you believe in a lot of superstitious shit or whatever, but come on telling me won’t ruin your wish.”
“Uh, yeah it will. The whole point is to keep it to yourself, so I’m not telling you.”
”Please? For me?” Sam laughed and tilted his head slightly to the left, then smiled with his teeth.
Usually his friend smiled with his lips closed, so when Sam randomly decided to smile with his teeth Danny was caught off guard. Whenever Sam directly smiled at Danny, for any reason, it always made him feel way too warm on the inside. This was odd to him, because it would come out of nowhere without warning. Most of the time when this warm feeling happened he would take a deep inhale, ignored the feeling, exhale, and then continue on with his conversation.
Inhale
Ignore
Exhale
Continue . . .
“I don't know, maybe I'll tell you later. If I feel like it." Danny sighed while looking down at his cake. He already knew that he was not going to have the balls to tell Sam his wish, or the hidden meaning behind the wish. Even if Danny did tell him, he knew that Sam could never fully understand it. Danny felt more alone than ever, even on a day like this where his friends are doing nothing but celebrating his life.
"Why do you sound sad??" Sam asked sounding confused yet concerned.
"I'm not sad." Danny denied. "You guys actually made me really happy today."
"Yeah, you did look happy today, but right now you sound like you're sad. Did something happen or what?" Sam asked throwing his arm around the back of Danny’s chair.
"Trust me, I'm fine." Danny answered, growing more annoyed with his questions.
"You obviously aren't, so you might as well tell me what's wrong. I mean ya already tell me everything else." Sam insisted.
"Stop pushing me to tell you. Can you just move on from it?"
After Danny said that, Sam made a dramatic gasp and moved his chair closer to his friend. "Ouch, the birthday boy is a grouchy boy today."
"Why don't you back off and just drop it?" Danny snapped at Sam without even thinking about it. The teasing started to make him feel frustrated. Danny also felt like his friend was leaning in way too close to his face, and he desparetely needed him to back off before that warm feeling came to attack him again.
The combination of the many shots and Danny's attitude got Sam super pissed off. He worked all day to make sure this party was perfect for his best friend, so he felt that Danny had no right speaking to him like this after all that work he did.
"Fine. I’ll back off, I guess. You know, just because it's your birthday does not mean you have the right to be an asshole to me." Sam said standing up, still holding a shot of fireball that he never took. "I fucking spent foreverrrr decorating the house and making this cake FOR YOU. D-Didn’t even let Jake or Josh help me bake, because I wanted to say I made it for YOU. On top of that, I got you a nice gift too. Dick."
After his rant was over, Sam turned his back and starting stumbling out of the dining room and into the living room. He forgot he was holding the shot and started spilling it on the floor on the way to the couch.
"What's are you guys fighting about??” Jake shouted over sounds of running water and dishes stacking together.
"Uh, it’s nothing! Wait, let me help you, okay? I'm sorry." Danny said standing up and quickly moving behind Sam, in case he fell or tripped over something.
Sam immediately stopped moving and started staring into the space in front of him. He put his hand on his chest and his other hand the wall next to him.
”Oh shit.” He said moving the hand from his chest to cover his mouth.
After seeing that, Danny ran to open the sliding door and Sam ran up behind him. He quickly moved out of the way and gently held Sam’s hair back so he could lean over throw up outside the house.
“Ahh gross, we were all just about to eat the cake.” Josh said coming back with clean dishes.
”Shit. Are you okay?” Jake asked following behind Josh.
“Mmm. Hmm. Yup. Ugh I’m okay.” Sam said wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. “I’m sorry Danny. I didn’t mean to get this drunk tonight, but I feel way way better now.”
Danny let go of his hair and smiled in relief, because he knew that Sam was not mad at him anymore. Even when they weren’t drinking, they usually forgave each other pretty easily.
”It’s okay Sam, I’m sorry too. Let’s go eat the cake you made me.”
After eating they all began to feel full and tired, but the twin’s enthusiasm had not died down yet. For the twins the drinking had just begun. Sam wasn’t used to drinking and he was already sick, so he decided to stick with water for the rest of the night. Danny was beginning to feel a little bit buzzed, but he was too much of a control freak to let himself become fully drunk.
“Okay, Okay later. Another shot??” Jake offered reaching for the fireball.
”Oh no- no I’m cool, I’m alright. Sort of already starting to get drunk.” Danny insisted.
“You’re only 18 once!” Josh said coming back from the kitchen with plates and forks.
”Yeah.” Jake said following behind his twin. “You can’t turn in for the night yet.”
“No no, I don’t want to get wasted, I want to be able to remember this! Seriously, you guys didn’t have to do all of this.” Danny said looking down at his homemade cake and then he lifted his head up, glancing at the elaborate gold and black metallic decorations around the room.
“All this?? You didn’t open your gifts yet.” Sam jumped up and went to get his gift for Danny that was in his bedroom. He was far more collected and sober now after eating and drinking tons of water.
”Oh yeahh. Duh. Here you go. Happy birthday to our best fuckin’ friend on this whole planet!!” Jake slurred and handed over gift.
Jake got him these super nice over the ear headphones that he has been wanting for awhile. “YESS! Thank you Jake.”
Josh bought him a few colorful outfits that he thought would suit his friend.
“Wow I love the pattern on this shirt. I bet you wanted to keep it for yourself huh??” Danny laughed and gently kicking Josh’s foot under the table. Josh kicked his foot back harder in response. “You know I did! But I really wanted you to have it.” He grinned widely.
Danny looked over at Sam, and quickly realized that his friend was already staring at him beforehand. Sam smiled once they made eye contact and handed him a small green cube with a ribbon on the top of it.
”Happy birthday Danny. I’m not gonna drag this out, so I don’t sound too much like a crybaby. I just want to say that you have been my best friend forever, and you always will be. I hope everytime you see this gift you remember that.”
“Awe, thank you.” The warm feeling came back again after Sam said that, but once he opened the box it just hit him like an oncoming semi truck. It was a fucking ring. A black ceramic ring. Danny did not waste any time before he put in on his finger.
”I have the same one.” Sam said, and now Danny felt like he was going to throw up in his mouth out of nervousness. It made him excited, but also confused.
”What? Uh, Why?” Danny asked trying to make himself sound more curious than afraid.
“That’s how best friend jewlery works, stupid.” Sam laughed and shoved his shoulder. “I don’t like to wear rings though, so mine is on a necklace.” He reached down his shirt and pulled out a chain with the same black ring hanging on it.
”Thank you.” Danny said quietly. “Well?? Do you like it??” Sam asked eagerly.
”I love it.” He back answered with no hesitation.

It was 3:00 AM now, Jake fell asleep first.
”Get up.” Josh said shaking his brother’s shoulder.
”What?? Why??” Jake mumbled.
”You have to go to your own room, so Danny can sleep on the couch.” Josh said shaking him harder.
”He can sleep in your room. Or Sam’s room.” Jake mumbled again not moving an inch.
“Okay Danny. My room or Sam’s room?” Josh asked. Danny sighed. “Umm.”
He could pick Josh’s room and have no anxiety and no weird warm feeling. Or he could pick Sam’s room where there is a huge risk of feeling uncomfortable and overheated real quick.
“My room is bigger.” Sam said casually, before Danny had the chance to make a proper decision.
“Yeah you’re right. Well goodnight guys.” Josh said making his way to his own room.
-
Danny immediately crawled into Sam’s bed and pulled the covers over his face. Trying his best to start feeling tired and not feel so jittery and alert.
”Do you think you’re going to sleep without telling me your wish??” Sam asked sitting down on the outside of the blankets.
”I was hoping you would forget about it.”
”No I didn’t, so tell me it. Why did it make you get all cranky and defensive earlier?”
”It’s a really stupid wish.”
“I bet it’s not.” Sam was not backing down, so Danny just thought, well fuck it, he obviously wants to know.
”It was to um, have courage.” Danny said quietly.
“Wow, that is a stupid wish.” Sam said back immediately.
”Why do you think so?”
”Because you already have courage Danny.” Sam sighed.
“No I don’t, trust me.”
”Okay then, courage to do what??”
”Toexperimentwithaguyifiwantedtoo.” Danny spilled out without taking a pause between words. “What?? Say it slower than that!” Sam laughed.
”To experiment with. A guy. If I wanted too.” Danny said again but much slower.
“Holy shit.” Sam said with wide eyes that made Danny so much more nervous. “Well, you obviously want to, or else you wouldn’t have wished for the courage to do it.”
That made Danny really think again about his wish, he hated that Sam was right. He couldn’t help the frown that appeared on his face and the tears starting to form in his eyes.
“I’m just so lost right now.”
This made Sam’s heart hurt. He couldn’t believe how emotional Danny was getting over this, this has obviously been taking a toll on him and Sam had no idea this was going on inside his head. He carefully thought about his words before choosing to speak again.
”You know I would do anything for you? Like anything. ” Sam said putting his hand on Danny’s shoulder.
”Yeah I know that you would.” He sighed.
”Okay then, where do you want to start?” Sam asked standing up so he could pull the covers back.
”What!?” Danny almost choked on his own spit. He grabbed the covers and pulled them back towards his body to cover himself. He knew that Sam was openly bisexual, but he never thought Sam would ever think about touching him in a way that wasn’t platonic.
”Don’t make it more weird. Just tell me what you want to do, then we can do that, and move on from it okay? We wouldn’t have to talk about it again if you didn’t want to. Deal??” Sam asked putting a reassuring hand on Danny’s back. That made Danny feel a whole lot better, Sam was not pressuring him to do anything he didn’t want to do, and plus he was right. He trusted that they could just move on and not have to talk about it again, because they were close like that.
”Okay deal.” Danny managed to say after an long pause.
“So what do you want to do first? Kiss or what?” Sam asked casually, the tone of his voice showed that this was not a big deal for him at all.
”I feel like that’s moving too quick.” Danny said shuffling his hands together.
“Too quick??” Sam laughed loudly. “What then? Do you want to cuddle or hold hands first?” He was completely joking, but Danny took him seriously. “Even cuddling sounds like too much for us to start with. I’ve never held hands with a guys before, so um can we just, uh, hold hands for the rest of the night??” Danny asked knowing his face was burning and turning red.
“Alright then Daniel, that’s easy.” Sam said he stood up to turn off the lights and then finally started getting into the blankets. He reached over Danny’s waist, which almost made him jump, then he felt around and found Danny’s hand. At first Sam lightly placed his hand on top of his, then he squeezed his hand tightly, and that felt really good for Danny. The more pressure he used the less nervous he felt. Danny tried to go to sleep, but it was hard with Sam so close to him.
“Sam??”
”Yeah??”
”Thank you.” Danny whispered.
”You’re welcome.” Sam whispered back. He started playing around with Danny’s rough hands. He slowly traced his fingers over the ring that he gave Danny. Eventually he interlaced their hands together.
Danny felt warm all over, except this time he did not feel like running away from it. Danny squeezed Sam’s hand and sighed deeply closing his eyes. Danny was astonished by how comfortable he felt. He didn’t need to do whole “Inhale, Ignore, Exhale” exercise that he normally needed to do around Sam.
He actually wanted to be in this moment, and not ignore or escape it for one minute.
