Special Agent Tortoise (He/Him) and Vita (She/They) descriptions below:

First we have special Agent "Tortoise", real name classified but he is an individual from 13th century Scotland who ended up making some deals with rather...unsavoury individuals of both human and inhuman origin, most of which he was unable to repay, and thus they sealed him away in an amulet and made those he held dearest pay his debts. Since then he has been encased, mostly forgotten to time and forced to reflect on his former life. The amulet has the power of possesion, but only with dead bodies, and he now enters the 21st century in his 5th.

After a good few years of familiarising himself with the world, he was approached by the US government after gaining wind that he had claimed a host, wanting to utilise his many abilities for their own cause. After striking a deal, he agreed and has worked with them for many years, though it hasn't been pleasant or easy for either side. Now he has been placed on--as he puts it--baby sitting duty to keep a close eye on the President and act as a middle man between Cognito and the deeper side of the US Government. Tortoise knows Glenn and Orca, as he and Glenn served in the same regiment and then years later he would become Orca's mentor before she left to join Cognito. "Tortoise and Glenn do not get along" is an understatement, and often you have to yell at them both to put their guns down when an argument gets too heated.

Vita is part of a group of Eldritch beings who have come to Earth and intergrated themselves into society through the means of porclain bodies. These bodies are a mixture of puppetry and bisque dolls, moved around and maniulated freely by their true forms within. Sent here on a scouting mission, Vita found herself curious about humans more than intended, and enjoys her mission despite knowing the fact that they may one day have to leave Earth. Vita was approached by the Robes, with the promise of showing them "human life as intended", and present day remains an ally of theirs.

Presently, they are placed as a less obvious bodyguard for the president. Her duty to her fellow eldritch beings outweighs her alliance to Cognito, so taking on this relatively small task was of no hidnernace to her. They know Otto, much more than Otto would like to admit honestly. Vita knows Otto's father, a being who would very much like to know where his child has been for the past millenia. Other than Otto, Vita does not interact with anyone at Cognito much, much prefering to observe and ask questions when it suits them.

In regards to each other, Vita and Tortoise do butt head. Vita is one to ask many questions, and Tortoise is very secretitve due to feeling shameful about his muddy past. Though they do balance each other out, which is why they were made partners on this assignment, with Tortoise being the brains (used loosely he's not always a genius) and Vita being the brawn (she has a 50/50 success rate on actually catching the bad guy, struggles with noticing subtletises in human emotions).

we found a blind deaf cat wandering the neighborhood running into trees - unregistered microchip (SO CHECK TO MAKE SURE YOUR PETS MICROCHIP IS REGISTERED)...fur so matted it was clear the cat had been out for weeks. We take it the vet and it has an eye and lunch infection

owner comes forward and is unwilling to pay the vet bill, saying "it would've been my call to take him to the vet or not"

I AM LIVID! THE CAT WAS LITERALLY DYING UNTIL WE FOUND IT!

My dad keeps calling Micro a ‘smart mouth’ like bro I think that guy is just autistic and has ADHD

Ok, since more than three people seem to enjoy the two ideas I put out into the world, here's another one. (Rest is under the read more because it's a little lengthy and I don't feel like clogging up ppl's dashes today lmao)

Invisible/Ghost!Whumper trapping Whumpee in a room by preventing them from opening the doors. Can be a room at Whumper's place, can be a random room somewhere out in public, or it can even be a room in Whumpee's own home. Maybe Whumper can fuck with Whumpee a little more by turning out the lights, and preventing them from turning back on.

That's not satisfying enough? You want Whumper to mess with Whumpee's head even more? Well have I got just the thing for you! Footsteps. Whumper occasionally stepping around or stomping in the room Whumpee is trapped in. Of course, nothing is ever there when Whumpee whirs around to look. Or... how about Whumper making sure their footsteps are audible (and possibly even letting their feet be seen), as they walk past Whumpee's room? Whumpee pressing the side of their face against the ground as they try to watch the shadows pass. Whumpee's desperate cries, pleading-- no, begging for help as they pound against the door. The dread and doom that settles in Whumpee's body and mind as they listen to the footsteps fade away...

Whumpee eventually wondering how long it'll be until somebody finds them. If anybody will find them at all...

Bonus points: When Whumpee is finally found, the door opens easily, with no resistance at all. As if it was never blocked to begin with.

me: HEY DOC

sixteen of my f/os: (look up in sync) yeah?

just dropped my dog off at the vet :( waiting for the doc to come out

u ever just have a really friendly dog break into ur property

anyways it’s funny how new coworkers who are older than you automatically think they need to show you the ropes like. i’ve been working here for 2 years mark i think i’ll be fine

Things Biden and the Democrats did, this week #13

April 5-12 2024

President Biden announced the cancellation of a student loan debt for a further 277,000 Americans. This brings the number of a Americans who had their debt canceled by the Biden administration through different means since the Supreme Court struck down Biden's first place in 2023 to 4.3 million and a total of $153 billion of debt canceled so far. Most of these borrowers were a part of the President's SAVE Plan, a debt repayment program with 8 million enrollees, over 4 million of whom don't have to make monthly repayments and are still on the path to debt forgiveness.

President Biden announced a plan that would cancel student loan debt for 4 million borrowers and bring debt relief to 30 million Americans The plan takes steps like making automatic debt forgiveness through the public service forgiveness so qualified borrowers who don't know to apply will have their debts forgiven. The plan will wipe out the interest on the debt of 23 million Americans. President Biden touted how the plan will help black and Latino borrowers the most who carry the heavily debt burdens. The plan is expected to go into effect this fall ahead of the election.

President Biden and Vice-President Harris announced the closing of the so-called gun show loophole. For years people selling guns outside of traditional stores, such as at gun shows and in the 21st century over the internet have not been required to preform a background check to see if buyers are legally allowed to own a fire arm. Now all sellers of guns, even over the internet, are required to be licensed and preform a background check. This is the largest single expansion of the background check system since its creation.

The EPA published the first ever regulations on PFAS, known as forever chemicals, in drinking water. The new rules would reduce PFAS exposure for 100 million people according to the EPA. The Biden Administration announced along side the EPA regulations it would make available $1 billion dollars for state and local water treatment to help test for and filter out PFAS in line with the new rule. This marks the first time since 1996 that the EPA has passed a drinking water rule for new contaminants.

The Department of Commerce announced a deal with microchip giant TSMC to bring billions in investment and manufacturing to Arizona. The US makes only about 10% of the world's microchips and none of the most advanced chips. Under the CHIPS and Science Act the Biden Administration hopes to expand America's high-tech manufacturing so that 20% of advanced chips are made in America. TSMC makes about 90% of the world's advanced chips. The deal which sees a $6.6 billion dollar grant from the US government in exchange for $65 billion worth of investment by TSMC in 3 high tech manufacturing facilities in Arizona, the first of which will open next year. This represents the single largest foreign investment in Arizona's history and will bring thousands of new jobs to the state and boost America's microchip manufacturing.

The EPA finalized rules strengthening clean air standards around chemical plants. The new rule will lower the risk of cancer in communities near chemical plants by 96% and eliminate 6,200 tons of toxic air pollution each year. The rules target two dangerous cancer causing chemicals, ethylene oxide and chloroprene, the rule will reduce emissions of these chemicals by 80%.

the Department of the Interior announced it had beaten the Biden Administration goals when it comes to new clean energy projects. The Department has now permitted more than 25 gigawatts of clean energy projects on public lands, surpass the Administrations goal for 2025 already. These solar, wind, and hydro projects will power 12 million American homes with totally green power. Currently 10 gigawatts of clean energy are currently being generated on public lands, powering more than 5 million homes across the West. 

The Department of Transportation announced $830 million to support local communities in becoming more climate resilient. The money will go to 80 projects across 37 states, DC, and the US Virgin Islands The projects will help local Infrastructure better stand up to extreme weather causes by climate change.

The Senate confirmed Susan Bazis, Robert White, and Ann Marie McIff Allen to lifetime federal judgeships in Nebraska, Michigan, and Utah respectively. This brings the total number of judges appointed by President Biden to 193

Oh also unrelated to last post but still important. last night when I was walking my dog I saw a stray cat that looked jUST LIKE MY CAT (a tuxedo…) with only SLIGHTLY different sock patterns and skinnier and like.
