Hello!! I was wondering how the ROs would react if MC just picked them up randomly (or cause they were exited or smt. For example like,, bride style carrying them??)
The way Anita would melt at this!! She'd be over the moon, giggling like a schoolgirl. She also might just get comfortable in MC's arms. She's affection-starved, so... surprise! She lives there now.
Basil would think it's really fun. He'd probably share in the MC's excitement, whatever it was about. He's also used to getting picked up by his Dad (Mr Laurier Sr is huge and used to lift and toss his son around for fun all the time when he was little, and sometimes still does). So you're triggering happy, nostalgic memories for him! He'd probably feel super safe and loved.
Reem isn't used to getting picked up due to her height, so MC would quite literally be sweeping her off her feet! She'd laugh and then immediately try to make out with the MC, because frankly, I think getting carried bridal style would do things to her.
FLO WOULD SCREAM. I mean you're picking up a guy who's built like the fucking Undertaker, what the hell is going on how are you doing this???? How are you carrying him bridal style this is terrifying

The demo has finally been released! Check it out here.
Prologue Part One is finally done! Although I have to say, I am not completely satisfied with the game right now, but they are honestly minor edits that will be fixed in the future.
In this part, you can begin to customize yourself, get introduced to the members of ST4RDOM, and meet two of the ROs. Not much drama actually happens; more interesting content will be in the second part.
If there are any bugs, typos, or things that can be fixed in the demo, please let me know! I would appreciate it a lot.

OG DEMO + AU DEMO **and a note about the demo that won the vote
Magic is all too real and witches reign supreme.
This is a story of excess & indulgence. Luxury & depravity. Lust & love. Horror & debauchery. 
But mostly it's a story of rediscovering your inner witch. 
Bad Witch is set in a matriarchal, gothic universe eerily similar to our own, where magic runs the world. And at its core, it is a love letter to the incredibly strong and vibrant friendships that we forge in our youth, and how they ultimately shape the people we become.
Witxhes dominate the upper echelons of society, and magic has seeped into every facet of day-to-day life, for witches and humans alike. Humans were relegated to a lower class of living and as witches tend to be quite opulent & over indulgent [and more often than not revelling in their own personal vices], the bougie Season of the Witch began. Witching Society flourished and quickly overtook over the world, trickling down to influence even those without magic.
SO WILL YOU BE A BAD WITCH, OR A GOOD WITCH?
Tumblr media
You were born to one of the most ancient and thus, important witching families; the only child of a famous mother and an even more infamous grandmother. Your ancestors were among the very first witches to lead the revolution, desperate to create a world where their children would never again die by human hands.
Your childhood was rather lonely and spent under the tutelage of the worlds best witches and academics, whilst your mother did her best to ignore your existence whenever it didn’t directly benefit her. And so years later you would often joke that your life really began once you were accepted into Ariadne Academy, the premiere school for exceptionally gifted Witxhes.
You were placed in a coven with eight of your peers; girls and boys who would quickly become your family, until it was almost like you couldn’t remember a time before them. They shared your all-consuming hunger for magic and knowledge and experiences, traits that made your coven [nicknamed the Silverlakers] an unstoppable force within the Demonhall arena. Everything was going so perfectly until it suddenly burned down around you, leaving your coven a husk of its former self.
Aaand this is currently where the stories splinter off.
OG DEMO — In the OG demo, your coven is still somewhat intact. MC’s feelings towards them may or may not have changed, but on the whole, the Silverlakers are still functioning as the overachieving badasses they were at the academy. They’re still your best friends, your soulmates, your lovers. You love them and they most definitely love you — it’s just one big lovefest. 
As a master alchemist you tediously work through trials of your newest potion while still coasting off the success of your last serum, the wildly popular Moon Juice. The story focuses on the unnaturally strong bond that exists between the remaining Silverlakers, and the powerful magic you’ve wrought because of that. The incredibly deep but complicated friendships that you built are maintained to this day, and still just as co-dependent... or have they been making you feel stifled or claustrophobic? 
You can choose how your relationship with Ash progressed post-breakup. Was it messy and dramatic, or did you keep going back to them, again and again? Have you and Ori been just the bestest friends all this time, or have things gotten a bit awkward?
AU DEMO — In the AU demo, your coven was broken following the loss of one of your own. You all went your own ways and everything that you shared was left by the wayside. You’ve spent the better part of a decade running away from your Silver Lake family, the only real home you ever knew. But now, against all of your better judgements, your returning to York. Only for a few days, of course. A couple weeks, tops. 
You haven’t returned since you absconded after graduation, when you used a somewhat controversial but entirely contrived excuse for your disappearance. And as if The Fates themselves had seen to it, you once again find yourself thrown together with the other witches formerly known as Silverlakers. Their reactions to your return are not at all what you had expected, and you’re left second-guessing what actually happened all those years ago.
No matter how deep of a rift was left between your coven, Ori was the one who really refused to give up on you. In their very unique way, they practically strong-armed you into maintaining some kind of contact. Of all your former covenmates, you are hands down closest to Ori. Your breakup with Ash, no matter how it was done, was shocking and cut deep. You can choose whether to stand by your past actions or try to make amends with your first love. 
Both the OG & AU stories will feature opportunities to reconnect with: the former childhood friend turned academy rival; as well as the young professor from your university years. And despite their shorter and more mysterious descriptions, they are both main RO’s, along with Ash & Ori.
Will you try to repair the broken connections plaguing your coven, or forge a brand new path? Will you decide to confront the nightmares of your past face on in the Demonhall arena, or continue to ignore the literal demons that chase you?
Tumblr media
~ Fully customisable character — you can currently play as a woman, man, or non-binary person; straight, gay, or bisexual. Customise your character's personality, style and how they reacted in major moments of their life leading up to present events,
~ Choose how to react to your current coven dynamics — fight to save your soulmates & strengthen your long-established bonds, or play around on greener pastures with other witches
~ Meet your familiar and decide which form it takes, with your familiar's animal impacting the story
~ Set up a cozy, witchy corner to call your own! A few options include a reclaimed lighthouse, luxurious penthouse in the sky, and a secluded cabin in the woods
~ Continue to cross sexual conquests off your list of Lovers to Bed, or get serious and pursue a more serious connection. There are currently 4.5 love interests [all gender variable] as well as an optional poly route. I'm also considering bringing back a character who was cut from the OG story... TBD!
~ Decide what happened to MC's relationship with Ash, in the years since graduation. Have they drifted apart while leading separate lives, or have they been on-and-off for the better part of a decade?
~ Get answers & closure by chasing down ghosts from your past. Give yourself over to the demons in your past, or fight to find a balance between your life and the monsters at the gate.
~ Explore the ever-changing hellscapes of Demonhall and confront your demons, or keep those traumatic memories in the past where they belong
~ But above all else, choose which path your character takes going forward. Chase your dreams and loves, or turn your back, light it up & watch the world burn around you.
Tumblr media
During your time at Ariadne Academy, rumours swirled nonstop about your coven.
You got along too well.
You loved each other too hard.
Some people said you were a bunch of weirdos, while others whispered [a little too loudly] that all of your parents had conspired together, bribing the Witches Council to put you all together in one coven. But back then you couldn't give a shit about anyone or anything outside your Silver Lake home.
You found your first love within your coven, as well as seven other soulmates. And for a long time, that was all you needed.
☆ Elijah Akos {m}
☆ Suki Aoki {f}
♡ Aisling Casablanca {f} // Asher Casablanca {m}

Tumblr media
The grandiose and horrifying Demonhall is a favourite pastime for Witches young and old. Two opposing covens enter the arena (or as it's lovingly called by fans, the Demon Dome) and are sealed inside. Usually a timer is set for 6 hours, but some exhibition games run a 'last Witch standing' simulator, that can go on for days. 
At the core of every Demonhall arena lies it's true power, a demonstone. The crystalized heart of a demon powers and creates unique and dangerous environments for covens to progress through. Whether it's a futuristic, neon playground; the dilapidated ruins of Titans; or a much too lifelike version of the floor is lava, each unique setting has been randomly and lovingly crafted by the demonstone. 
Just as each demon is unique and come with their specific set of baggage challenges, so do their corresponding arenas. Some are more manipulative in luring you into their traps, while others don't waste time in throwing everything they've got at you.
The object of the game, quite simply, is to challenge & toss opposing witches out of the match, using whatever spells & curses, or hexes & charms you keep in your arsenal. All while avoiding the real terror of the Demonhall, the demon itself.
For over a decade, your life revolved around Demonhall. You were the Lead for your coven, meaning you often bore the brunt of whatever the demonstone was hurtling at you. Your Silver Lake coven dominated the amateur Demonhall circuit for the better part of a decade. You and your covemates were elevated to a level of celebrity that few others at Ariadne Academy could relate to, as you were splashed across dozens of magazine covers before you were 18.
You planned your life around your obsession and love of the game, and as your graduation approached, you fielded dozens of offers to play for top-tier professional teams. But then... the unexpected happened during a match and you lost a member of your coven.
Tumblr media
☆The First Love☆ ...& Ash's playlist
Aisling DeLoach {f} // Asher DeLoach {m}, 31
Ash was your first love. You dated for several years during your time at Ariadne Academy. You grew up together in your Silver Lake cottage and soon after you met, you found it hard to deny your teenage crush. 
You bonded over a mutual (rather mad) obsession with Demonhall, and it didn't take long for that bond to translate onto the arena. The Silver Lake Demonhall coven dominated the competition, thanks in large part to the connection you shared with Ash.
You made plans together to follow your passions after graduation, and even courted the interest of several top-tier professional clubs. They wanted you both, and were willing to restructure their teams around you & Ash.
But life happened, and you surprised everyone when you suddenly broke things off with Ash and the Demonhall teams. Instead you followed a secondary love and traveled across the world in pursuit of cryptozoological mysteries. 
In the decade that you've been working out in the field, Ash has been named Demonhall MVP for three years in a row. Their legions of adoring fans have only multiplied. Is there room for you in their life nowadays, or is it truly too late?
☆The Best Friend☆ ...& Ori's playlist
Oriana Helyr {f} // Orion Helyr {m}, 30
Ori has been your longest and closest friend. No matter what your relationship was like with the rest of the coven, you could always count on Ori having your back. And sometimes being a shoulder to cry on, during the rockier parts of your relationship with Ash. In a way, it's always felt like the three of you had your own kind of connection, but at times, that could put Ori in the middle of your shit with Ash.
Ori is a highly sought after Master Architect, one of only two in the country. They’re instrumental to the buildings integrity and the future success of it’s residences. Ori often spends weeks onsite, crafting intricate enchantments around the bones of the structure, ensuring not only structural safety but doing everything in their power to position them for prosperity.
There's never been any fronts or facades with Ori, just transparent (sometimes brutal) honesty. You've never had to pretend around them and you might even be your truest self when you're with them. And then the two of you would stay up all night, talking and watching movies, and polishing off copious amounts of alcohol. In fact, many of those nights ended up serving as inspiration for your new experimental potion, a cure-all hangover draught.
In the years since the academy, Ori has tracked you down across the globe too many times to count. It always seemed like they had some magical way of knowing when your life was going to shit and they'd spontaneously turn up with boxes of wine & chocolate, immediately taking over your kitchen to cook up something utterly delicious
☆The Lifelong Rival☆
Viridian ‘Poe’ Black {f/m}, 31
Poe was one of your very first friends, long before the academy. Your mothers ran in the same high society circles and so you were often left to your own devices. For Poe that usually meant running off into the woods to scout for berries and beasts, or tirelessly watching or reading up on anything to do with Demonhall. And in fact, decades later, you've still never met anyone as obsessed with the game as them. Even as a kid, Poe was haughty and overtly snobby; they always knew exactly what and who they liked, and rarely strayed outside the lines.
But for some reason or another, you were someone they happily tolerated and actually seemed to like. Much to their delight, Their Demonhall fanaticism eventually infected you as well, and you spent countless hours debating the various forms, methods, and positions of the beautiful but deadly game. The two of you would often daydream about your future life at Ariadne Academy, and their eyes lit up with unabashed glee when they spoke of how together, you would bring about a new era of Demonhall. But then came the week before coven placements. And even after all of their extensive testing,  you & Poe weren't placed together.
After that Poe very rarely spoke to you and altogether stopped responding to your many messages over the years, and just like that, the delicate friendship you once shared was snuffed out. And while they'd always been sarcastic and biting, that had rarely been directed towards you. Until you were put in competition, both academically and in the Demonhall arena, and then you were introduced to an entirely different side of Poe. The one that knew your weaknesses and just when to exploit them, who seemed to take a particular happiness from your defeat.
☆The One That Got Away☆
Julia St. James {f} // Julian St. James {m}, 35
The two of you have a rather torrid history. Or at least, you might in another universe. In this one, sadly, your love affair was cut prematurely short after one perfect night. Before it could even begin.
Shortly after arriving in Iceland but before your apprenticeship could officially begin, you found yourself alone in a pub. Suddenly Jules slid into the booth opposite you, apologizing profusely while begging you to let them stay on a moment while they avoided a rather cantankerous individual. You didn’t stop them from ordering a drink, and then one turned into two, and two into three, until neither of you could say how much time had passed while you’d been talking away.
You talked of magic and philosophy, theology and literature, and no matter the topic, there was never an awkward pause or break in conversation. And not once did they bring up Demonhall. It was somehow exactly what you needed at the time, just weeks following your graduation from Ariadne Academy and everything that had had transpired in the weeks before. 
That night you both felt on the verge of something so much more. Before it was complicated by running into a colleague of theirs out with their wife. She was an acquaintance of your mother's and expressed shock that you'd be seen out and about with Jules St. James, the newest and youngest junior professor in the university's history, and a somewhat big deal in deity and divination circles.

When Cloud Waves Break Pinned Post
LINKS: DEMO [UPDATED 30/03/2024] | COG FORUM
SUMMARY
When Cloud Waves Break is a work-in-progress murder mystery/Lovecraftian horror interactive fiction story. After returning to your hometown of Golden Gulf, your older sister is brutally murdered. The method? Poison. The location? The Twin Suns restaurant, on its reopening night. It's up to you to find her killer. But it won't be easy. Between dealing with your hostile brother-in-law, the police force interfering every step of the way, and your own memories about why you left, you're in for a rough time. And that's not even taking into account the weird dreams you've been having…
FEATURES
Play as male, female, or non-binary; straight, gay, or bisexual.
Customize your sister: choose her name, her personality, and determine your relationship with her.
Choose between four possible occupations: actor, doctor, soldier, or dilettante.
Learn more about the history of Golden Gulf, how your family ties into it, and what it has to do with your sister's murder.
And maybe stop a cult. Or join them. It's up to you.
ROMANCE OPTIONS
Officer Wyatt Pierce (M) "I've made many mistakes. But caring for you? Isn't one of them."
Description: An officer of the Golden Gulf Police Department. He also used to be your neighbour when you were kids. Time changes people though. Can you love who he is now?
Appearance: Greying hair - younger than he looks. Massive claw marks across his face, burned into the skin.
Personality: He's gruff and tired. Growing up in Golden Gulf, he learned to let many things slide. It weighs on him, made him callous. But then your sister died. Suddenly, he can't be callous anymore. Not with her dead. And especially not when you're here.
Officer Casey Young (NB) "I'll keep you safe. I promise."
Description: The officer from Augusta, sent to find and arrest the leader of the Burning Waters crime gang, Nina Wu. They don't trust many people. Maybe you can be the exception?
Appearance: Faded tattoo of a monkey on their neck; wild hair; friendly, but cautious eyes.
Personality: They are kind, with a spine of steel, and will always do the right thing. Even if everyone turns against them and they risk losing everything. Make them care for you, though, and the choice will destroy them.
Evelyn Ross (F) "You and me? It just feels too good to be true."
Description: Your brother-in-law's administration assistant. Duty and logic drives her every action. To her, love is a silly afterthought. Maybe you can change her mind?
Appearance: Petite. Lustrous, thick hair. Bright eyes. Glasses. Conventionally attractive.
Personality: Her calculating mind is her greatest strength, but also her greatest weakness. She's aware of all the possibilities stretching out before her, but also of the consequences. And it paralyzes her. But reassure her, become an anchor for her, and she'll lift you up in turn.
Jeremiah/Jessamine Callahan (M/F) "I'd forgotten what this felt like. Thank you for reminding me."
Description: The sole survivor of the wealthy Callahan family. You grew up with their spouse, Riley. They've loved and they've lost. Maybe you can help them learn to love again?
Appearance: Hair braided in cornrows; ragged and tattered clothes; an air of sadness that hangs over them like a cloud.
Personality: They aren't afraid to say what they think and have a very strong moral compass. But it can sometimes lead them to jumping to conclusions. Get them on your side though, and they'll follow you to the very end. 'Til death do you part.
Oscar/Ophelia Lovelace (M/F) "You are everything that I imagined you to be."
Description: The interior designer contracted for the reconstruction. Love wasn't enough to keep you in Golden Gulf. But maybe they can?
Appearance: Very tall and graceful; eccentric sense of style; an ever-present smile.
Personality: They project a polite and mild mannered façade. But their true personality emerges through their design work, which they are obsessively dedicated to. Catch their attention, though, and they'll never let you go.
ADDITIONAL INFO
OTHER IMPORTANT CHARACTERS:
Your Older Sister: She was many things, to many people. How did you see her? Was she self-absorbed? Naive? Arrogant? Or charming? But none of that really matters now that she's dead... Does it?
Benjamin Mullen: Your sister's husband. He's a difficult man to get along with. He also has a problem with you specifically, and isn't afraid to tell you so.
INSPIRATIONS:
Agatha Christie mystery novels, Lovecraftian horror, The King in Yellow by Robert W Chambers, the TTRPGs Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition and Brindlewood Bay, and Slay the Princess by Black Tabby Games.

Wait so Hitman!MC is noseblind, meaning (as I understand) they won't be able to feel the ROs pheromones?
Because I'm imagining Rival!RO doing their best effort to seduce Omega!MC but fails hilariously due to
MC being a serious character immune to flirting and
MC being noseblind rendering them immune to pheromones
So MC is like
Tumblr media
100% this will likely happen.
An MC who is oblivious to the pheromones the Alpha!RO emits to attract MC or coax them to submit, only to be met with MC staring deadpan at them with no reaction, will only make them bring their A-Game in seducing MC even more.
Most certainly Alpha!RO's pride will be hurt at MC's lack of reaction, that that just makes MC more loveable in their eyes.

The Muse: Freshman Year Residence Hall
I forgot to turn off the grid while taking screenshots, sorry! 🤣
Welcome to Lipton Hall! Let's go in shall we!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
On the left is the first floor great room, on the right is a study room and practice studios.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lets check out the great room first! Lots of fun events will be hosted here for the entire residence hall! It's a great place to just hangout or just grab a quick coffee.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now lets head across the hall to the study area and practice rooms! There's a sign up calendar outside of each studio so that students can reserve their time.
Tumblr media
There are three studios: the art studio, dance studio, and music studio. Students must reserve a time if they want to make sure they can use the space.

Lets go ahead and take a look at MCs floor! This shows the layout for each floor there are 8 dorm rooms on each floor, 7 are doubles and the RA on each floor has a single. The bathroom in each room is split sink and toilet on the right on shower on the left. In the center of each floor is a large common area for students to cook, relax, study, and just hangout. RA's will use their floor's common area to host events just for their advisees.

An amazing bonus for Lipton Hall is the cute little outside area! Most halls don't have one.

You are an employee of the Cloverleaf program. Your job is to organize and oversee their seasonal vacation for kids from low-income backgrounds and troubled homes. This summer, said vacation will be hosted at the rustic Camp Solace, a cabin campsite situated right next to the picturesque Lake Solace and flanked by acres of woodland.
Camp Solace is idyllic, calm and far removed from the bustle of civilization. 
V̵̲̂e̶̝͆ŕ̸͍y̷͎̏ ̷͚̎f̵͈̀ā̸̦r̵̀͜ ̸͓͘r̴̜̂e̴͉̕m̵̺̎o̷̢̓v̶̒͜è̴̘d̴̳̐ ̴̀͜i̵̡͊ñ̷̘d̸̀��e̷̪̽ȇ̵̯d̴̜͒.̷̰̚

But you're not alone in this! Working alongside you are Basil Laurier, the free-spirited scion of the wealthiest local family, Anita Merrick, the smart but skittish university student intern, and the Malak siblings, both skilled and experienced teachers. 
Now go take care of those happy little campers.

Romance a charismatic heir, a chronically sleep-deprived psychology student, a temperamental musician or a reserved martial arts instructor!
Get to know your team and form lasting friendships!
Uncover the lakes long-forgotten secrets and save Camp Solace from the horrors that are slowly closing in on you.

Hello! I'm happy to announce that Chapter 2, Pt. 1 is out! The update contains 27k words (excl. code).
Here's the link: [DEMO].
Important note: it's best to delete all old saves and start over, as I've added new variables and changed old ones.
What awaits you in the update:
Another haunting dream that raises more questions than answers.
A conversation with your sister that sheds light on your past. Define why you attended the police academy, learn how your and your sister's paths parted, and why she returned to Fallenmor again.
Another conversation with your sister about your love life. Or, for those who aren't pursuing a romance with anyone, an opportunity to learn more about upcoming life events.
A meeting with Mr. Mosley, the father of the second victim.
A face-to-face meeting with the rest cast of the ROs: the CID team that was sent by higher forces to investigate a murder, and the investigator hired by the Regional Police Headquarters.
An opportunity to try to assert the right to an investigation or the option to choose to continue to follow protocol.
Learn more about what's going on and find out what Morgan has to do with it.
The CID team's POV about their true reason for staying in Fallenmor and how it may be related to you, the detective.
Total word count: 47k words (excl. code) | 56k words (incl. code).

════════════════════════
Hello everyone, I reworked and redid some of the prologue, alongside refining chapter one. The game is taking longer than usual because each choice you make gives room for different dialogues and events (and also I lack the motivation to work on it everyday…) For example, if you choose to hide information from Alfhelia, many dialogues are changed, between you and Alen and other characters as well.
I also like to put attention into the details, if you do something small it might actually lead to a bigger outcome, such choices are few but already implanted in the game.
I have also uploaded Ekhart’s page to the website. And you can view additional information about them, as well as an animated portrait of them.
For next chapter things should (?) go a little smoother, and as Alen hinted, maybe you will get to see something nice :)
As for the Patreon, for now I won’t be opening any sort of money donation. If you guys wish to still support me, I hope you will share your thoughts and opinions about the game.
For this update there won’t be an extra glimpse.
═══════════════════════
p.s as I write this my cat is sleeping like the most adorable thing in the entire world.

SURPRISE!! sooo before I release the 3rd bio I wanted to give everyone a heads up about a couple name changes/shifts...
Hunter St. James will now be Jules St. James [Julia & Julian, to be precise], because I'd like to be able to distinguish their f/m counterparts
as for our dear Viridian Poe... I'm facing the same problem I did with Hunter, but I'm not budging on this name for this character.
I really like Viridian for the male version and Poe for the female version of the character, but I'll most likely be adding an in-game option later today for the player to choose which name their MC refers to them by... does that make sense? 😵‍💫😬🫠
And if you missed it, Ash & Ori's bios! 💕

Demo is up!
The demo for To Be Human is up!
DEMO
Summary:
You find a child, and now you're her parent. She teaches you about the human world, you be her parent. Sounds like a win-win.
Choose how you appear, as well as what your new daughter looks like.
ROs:
Eli/Elizabeth (M/F) The parent.
Eli is the parent of your new daughter's best friend, William. Will you get close to them or will their suspicions override any friendship?
Other ROs are to be decided at a later date.
This project is very much a prototype, so it may never be updated, or I may figure out the story and it'll turn into a full fledged game.

🟠 & 🔵 for the ask game if you’re still taking them! For any characters you want, tho I’m looking at Exo, Nicky, and Dragon the most 👀
Thank you for your question! I feel like a serious IF writer right now. if someone is interested and wants to ask a question, you can take it here
Exo:
Orange: Exo is worried about being discovered and being unable to save his/her parents. At first, he/she resisted this idea, but eventually, he/she came to terms with it.
Blue: He/she would spend his/her day either reading books or watching movies in his/her room.
Nicky:
Orange: Nicky harbors a deep fear of losing control over his/her power, especially during moments of the deepest emotional turmoil, anger, or frustration. He/She refuses to openly acknowledge it to anyone, viewing it as a potential weakness that could be exploited by his/her enemies.
Blue: Nicky would spend his/her day leisurely walking alone in the park, or engaging in training sessions with his/her captain.
Dragon:
Orange: Dragon is afraid of losing their sibling and being unwanted by their master. They is terrified of the thought of it and tries their best not to let it happen.
Blue: Dragon spends his day either with their sibling reading them a book or carving toys out of wood for them
