Freedom or Anarchy? Part 2 of 2

Cw: cringe, swears, innuendos. Mondstadt arc has concluded. Next chapter will hopefully be out by Monday. (Expect Monday or Tuesday)

‘Where am I?’

‘What happened to me?’

‘I wanna go home!’

“Time to get up.” You hear someone call. The voice sounds familiar, deep and most likely male (you don’t want to assume).

You open your eyes and see blue. You’re still groggy from Albedo’s tea so you can’t really stand. Someone picks you up, supporting you under your legs and you back.

‘Hang on, if this is Mondstadt… the only man with blue here is.’ “Kae…ya?” You say groggily.

“She speaks… or are you a he? Hard to tell.” He sets you down on a couch in an office.

“This is the terrorist Albedo gave us?” Lisa asks. You can’t quite move but you aren’t as tired as before.

“We’ll have to tie… him? Her? …Ah up! Tie up the terrorist.” Jean says.

“Them… I’m gender fluid. I go by them. Sometimes I’m a he, sometimes I’m a she. But my pronouns are always them.”

“Well, at least we’re getting answers.” Lisa giggles.

You say as Kaeya binds your wrists and ankles with rope. You lean forward onto him and whisper to only him. “Tighter, daddy~”

“Sky, where did you say that Light and Paimon ran off to?” Kaeya asks, embarrassed and blushing.

“We’ve met Barbatos, they went off to find him.” Aether says. That’s right, the twins didn’t tell anybody their real names.

“We’re back! And we’ve brought a friend!” Paimon cheers.

“Obviously this goes without saying but no one can mention this man’s true identity, okay.” Jean states with a harsh tone that you’ve never heard from her before. Everyone nods, except for you.

Venti walks towards you and you look at him. “Are you the one Celestia fears?”

“I have no idea what that means.”

“The descender, the honored one, the adored one. Do any of these names ring a bell?”

“No?”

“Do not lie to me! Albedo said-”

“Why the F you lyin’~ why you always lyin’~”

“…”

“Sorry I have a tendency to reference memes and vines. I’m Gen Z, it’s a part of who we are. I’m kidding, I think that’s just me.”

“So the Adored One has a name, Jen.”

“No that’s-”

“And these “Me-ms” and “vines” must be your sacred texts! You’re a nature spirit aren’t you!”

“No! And for the record I don’t think you are a god!”

“Wow, the honored one looks down upon me.”

“Boys, Girls, and squirrels, listen up! Because I’ll only say this once. I’m not from this world. I want to go home. The world I come from none of you are real.”

“Honored one, saying “Boys, Girls, and squirrels” doesn’t help your claim that you aren’t a nature spirit.”

“Oh for Shucks sake. Actually can I swear in here? I don’t think so. Hell! Bullshit! Kaeya’s tight Ass! Lisa’s big boobies! Mmhmm boobies~” you start to laugh maniacally. “I need to be put in a mental hospital.”

“Oh for the love of-” Lumine cuts herself off and goes up to you then shakes your. “Pull yourself together long enough for us to get answers.”

“Right, right. I’m just a college kid who majored in computer science and engineering. The world I come from you all are a game and I hacked into your code which brought me here. That “Boys, Girls, and squirrels” comment comes from a YouTuber I watch semi frequently.”

(A/n: Danny Motta is his name. He’s pretty funny. Go check him out)

“How’d you heal Stormterror then.” Aether asked.

“The sustainer of heavenly principles gave me her powers.”

“So… none of us are real?” Amber asks.

“Well, I don’t know how I’d be here if you guys weren’t real but to me you’re just a game. Any of you can be killed and revived at the Statue of the Seven.”

“I suppose that does poke holes in my credibility as an archon.” Venti twiddles his thumbs.

“Can I please leave now? I can take Dvalin with me and we can just leave.”

“I don’t think that’s a good idea. If Stormterror is still enraged we can’t let him destroy other nations. It could spark an all out war.” Jean says.

“What if we let them stay at that broken down building?” Aether suggests.

“I still think that we should keep Jen here just in case Stormterror gets any more ideas about attacking Mondstadt.”

“So we use Jen as a bargaining chip?” Lumine chimes in.

“Exactly.”

“Okay if you guys are going to call me Jen can you at least make it Gen with a G? I want to be different.”

“But Jean! Isn’t that basically asking Stormterror for a fight?”

“Amber’s right Jean. If we’re going to keep them here we’ll need a plan to tame Stormterror.” Lisa says.

“I’ll tame him.” Venti says assuredly. “We just have to keep them here long enough for me to calm him down.”

“BARBATOS!” Dvalin calls from outside. “GIVE ME BACK WHATS MINE!”

“Everyone! To your stations! Protect the city at all costs!” Jean shouts and everyone rushes from the room.

“Shit! I have to get out of here!”

“Master Jean! I’m scared!” Klee runs into the office.

“Klee! Perfect timing, I’m your brother’s friend.”

“Your big brother Albedo’s friend? Why are you tied up?”

“It’s a long story. Right now I need you to untie me so I can save everyone.”

“You can do that? I don’t know, usually only bad people are tied up.”

“No no! Klee it’s more complicated. You want to save Albedo and Jean and Kaeya, Lisa, Amber, Razor and everyone else right? Then you have to untie me so I can make Stormterror go away.”

“How do I know that you aren’t lying?”

‘If gold knows me. Chances are Alice will too.’ “Your mom knows me. I’m the adored one. You can ask her about me.”

“Mom knows you?”

“Yeah, and you know about Albedos secret lab in the mountains right? I’ve been there. He told me about how much he cared about you.”

“You’ve gone there?! You really do know Albedo. Okay!” She comes over and unties you.

“Thanks.” You go over to the window, open it up and shout. “Dvalin!” He comes rushing to you at your cry and you jump out the window and grab onto his tail.

He flies towards the woods and you land in a stone arena. “Andrius! I need a favor.”

“What could the East Wind possibly want from me?”

“Protect the Adored one at all costs.

“How can this puny human be the Adored one?”

As the two bicker you quietly sneak away. As you climb out of the arena you stop when you see black boots and look up.

“Who are you.” Diluc looks down at you.

“I am iron man.”

“Iron man?” Dvalin roses as he and Andrius start to brawl.

“Can you get me out of here?”

“Are you the one rumored to have healed Stormterror?”

“Maybe.”

“Come on.” He grabs your arm and hoists you up. He then picks you up and throws you over his shoulder and starts to run.

“Hey! Am I just a sack of potatoes to you?”

“Quiet down or they’ll hear us.” He runs and runs until you two get to a water bank. “Follow this past west and you’ll be in Liyue.” He tells you as he sets you down.

“Oh wow. My own dark knight. How romantic. Well for saving the fair ward of the dragon you get a kiss, as a reward.”

“No thank you.” He grimaces at you.

“Oh come on! I was promised debauchery! You’re no fun.”

“Just leave.”

“Thanks for saving me! I’m coming back for that kiss though!” You say as you run off.

‘Hot dragon archon here I come! Please be like a lizard and have two co-‘

Outlast main characters headcanons because there aren’t many of them and they deserve it ✨

Oh and these informations refers to before the whole mess started

Miles Upshur

•Lemme say this straight, this man is in his mid 30s (I personally hc him as 35) because he’s a walking dad joke

•Even when he wasn’t a freelancer Miles didn't have many friends in his office because of his awkward and seemingly rude personality

•But in fact when you know him better Miles is kind of nice. Of course you have to endure his humor and his swears, but in general I think that deep inside he’s a very likable person

•Had many girlfriends but most of them didn't last two weeks (for the reasons mentioned above)

•Smokes a lot and sometimes ends up drunk, but he reminds as lucid as he can

•He was victim of bullying as a child, but then learned how to fight back. Also used to be asthmatic

•He treats his jeep as his girlfriend and his former coworkers made fun of him, but Miles didn’t care at all

•He tends to inspire fear

Waylon Park

•Yeah actually he’s a huge nerd

•Loves to play video games a lot with his sons. Lisa doesn’t agree with it, because she thinks that they will grow up an obsession, but Waylon think they develop their creativity

•Takes a diary and updates it every night before going to sleep

•Knows how to hack someone’s profile but he would never dream of doing so

•I agree with the popular hc that he was a fan of Miles’ articles

•While I hc Miles as ~35 I thinks Waylon is younger than him, I’d say he’s in his early 30s

•His sons are 6 and 7 years old respectively

•Waylon met Lisa at college. Lisa was studying for being a lawyer (which she eventually became) and they met because Waylon was quite an outcast and shy and Lisa wanted to include him in her group of friends

Blake Langermann

•He and Lynn always been soulmates, and they complete each others. While Blake is more sensitive and shy Lynn is much more tougher.

•At the time of Outlast 2 they had been married for seven months after years of dating

•Blake loves reading, especially historical novel and in general he really likes historical stuff.

•After his childhood traumas he decided at some point to go to a therapist but even with them he wasn’t able to open himself and tell the whole story

•He really hates rude people. Like I said in another post he would not like Miles

•Tends to not talk to much and only with people he personally know

•At the least when he grow up he exposed father Loutermilch as the predator he is and got him fired

•Doesn’t drink coffee because it doesn't let him sleep at night (bro’s just like me)

Hi Lisa, not the person who asked about Luke Castellan but I have a request since I saw you write for him!

A Luke Castellan x female reader, where they are at camp half-blood and reader and Luke have known each other for as long as reader can remember and they always train together and try and be better than each other at sword fighting, and always try to win Capture the flag if they are on opposite teams. Luke is always a bit overly flirty because he has some slight crush on the reader, but she thinks it's normal that he's flirty and doesn't pay much attention to it, deflecting it with her own flirty responses. But one day, Luke decides to tell reader how he feels but has heard that Percy Jackson wants to tell reader that he likes her too, so there's some dispute amongst them and basically it leads to them always trying to get readers attention and trying to be impressive which may lead to some fights. So it catches Mr.D and Chiron's attention and they tell them to calm the fights down and if they really want to win someone's heart they have to do so fairly which may lead to a competition of some sort. (Hopefully you get where I'm going with this, a competition thats not Capture the Flag-) and in the end Luke wins the competition therefore confessing to reader and make it a sweet fluffy ending! (Where reader accepts because I don't want poor Luke heartbroken 😭)

Thanks Lisa ! <33

this is for the luke castellan believers (i am one)

masterlist

You are not in the mood for tricks. That’s why you’re at the sword fighting arena, after all; nothing calms a dangerous temper like swinging celestial bronze at someone’s head. However, the fact that you’ve chosen Luke Castellan of all people as a partner for the afternoon would then call your sanity into question.

If you’re so frustrated with the world around you that you’d glare this ferociously at first-summer campers for daring to walk slowly in front of you, it isn’t entirely clear why you’d go to the son of Hermes as a temporary solution to your anger issues. You tell yourself the only reason you’re walking towards Luke is because he’s the best at sword fighting here, but maybe there’s another reason, too.

Maybe you’re specifically challenging Luke to a round in the ring because you know he’ll fire up your temper even more than usual. See, one of the worst parts about Luke Castellan being your sword fighting opponent isn’t just his uncanny skill with the blade, it’s the fact that he’ll trash talk you the entire time he kicks your ass. That’s why most people choose to avoid him unless absolutely necessary.

That’s also why you like fighting against him most of all. If anyone’s got comebacks strong enough to match Luke, it’s you. You’re also his most challenging opponent. That’s common knowledge at Camp Half-Blood, even Luke has grudgingly admitted it a few times.

Everyone knows that you and Luke would stay in the arena until both of you collapse from exhaustion if Chiron would let you. It’s a shame that the camp activities director won’t allow that to happen, but that doesn’t stop you and Luke from doing your best to get to that point every time you pick up a sword.

Luke appears to have been expecting you. He’s been challenging a training dummy the past few minutes, but he gives up his hacking of motionless targets in favor of one that can actually punch and kick.

“I thought you’d be dropping by,” he grins.

You arch a brow. “Why’s that?”

“I don’t think you can stay away that long,” Luke says matter-of-factly, “what, have you missed me since I last saw you? It has been hours, I wouldn’t blame you.”

You roll your eyes. “If that’s how you’re going to be, I’ll ask someone else to spar. Maybe Percy, he’s been good as of late.”

Luke’s jaw locks, just the reaction you’d been hoping to see. You pretend to start walking away and Luke crosses in front of you, arms folded across his chest.

“Not so fast, L/N. I’m interested now, you might as well commit. I’ve been looking for an easy win today anyway.”

You let out a brief laugh in pretend shock. “Easy, huh?”

Luke cracks a proud grin. “Yeah, just like every other time I beat you. Easy.”

“I’ll show you easy,” you challenge, and swing your sword at his head.

Luke barely blocks the attack, immediately countering at your exposed side. You parry him with ease, taking a step back to give you enough room to put your full force into the defensive motion. Twisting your sword, you lunge forward towards Luke’s bicep. This time, you do manage to hit him. It’s the smallest of grazes, as Luke has already started sidestepping, but you do manage to slice a fine line into his skin.

You smile when drops of red begin to bead up where you’d struck him. “First blood?”

“Won’t be the last,” Luke promises you, redoubling his attacks. It takes everything in you to defend yourself against the relentless onslaught of blows, and even your best efforts aren’t quite enough to avoid Luke’s blade. His last show of force is enough to slice through the side of your shirt, nicking you in the process.

You glare at him. “I happen to like this top, you ass. Don’t do that again.”

Luke’s grin is shameless. “You’d better do a better job at defense if you don’t want it to happen.”

You glare at him, earning only a laugh in return. The rest of the bout follows in the same vein, with you and Luke trading cuts and jabs at the other. You don’t think you’ve ever found two people so evenly matched as you and Luke. The end of the practice session finds both of you chests heaving, lying on your backs side by side in a corner of the sword fighting arena.

“Not bad,” you admit.

“Same with you,” Luke replies. You don’t have to look his way to see that same easy grin on his face. Someday you’re going to have to admit that you like knowing him better than anybody, but today is not that time.

He gets up first, crouching over you with a hand extended. You take it without him having to ask. Luke puts a little too much force into the effort of pulling you up, and you end up stumbling forward a step or two. When you look up, you’re only a few inches away from him, both of your faces turned instinctively towards the other. For some reason, you can’t quite convince yourself to walk away, not yet.

“Easy, sweetheart,” Luke breathes, “Don’t go falling for me quite yet, would you?”

His relentless sarcasm is what you need to break from your spell. You hurriedly step back, waving goodbye to Luke over your shoulder. You can’t quite meet his eyes.

You head back to your cabin in a rush, too lost in thoughts you don’t want to consider for even a second. You’re hoping to put the whole matter with Luke out of your mind, but you’ve barely flopped onto your bunk after a shower when your best friend comes rushing up to you.

“What is it now?” You ask, one forearm pressed against your eyes in an effort to stave away intrusive thoughts that should definitely stay buried.

Your best friend chuckles. “You’re going to want to hear this. Best gossip, straight from the source.”

You raise a brow. “Have you been spying on unsuspecting demigods, Tina? You really have to stop that, you know. It’s an invasion of privacy.”

Tina Hernandez, your godly half-sister and favorite person in the entire camp, doesn’t seem too affected by the irritation in your tone. “Secrets were meant to be shared, Y/N. Do you want to hear this or not? It happens to include a certain Luke Castellan.”

This is an obvious tactic meant to pique your interest and get you to focus on her. Tina is only doing it because she thinks she knows something about you, something which definitely isn’t true. If you were smart, you would ignore the bait about Luke entirely.

You open your eyes. “What is it?”

Tina grins triumphantly. “Knew that would get your attention. So here’s the thing, I was heading back from arts and crafts just a few minutes ago when I heard raised voices. Of course, that’s not exactly unusual around here, but when I heard your name being tossed around I knew I had to investigate further.”

She pauses for dramatic effect, and you wave your hand impatiently. “What was it? I don’t have all day.”

“You literally do, but okay,” Tina replies, vaguely offended by your rushing of her story, “Anyway, I did some high quality espionage and it ended up being Luke Castellan and Percy Jackson. Percy was saying something about how he wanted to tell you how he felt but Luke was having none of it.”

“Why was that?” You ask doubtfully.

Tina groans. “Isn’t it obvious? Luke likes you. He didn’t want Percy confessing anything because he doesn’t want you to be with Percy.”

You laugh incredulously. “You must be out of your mind. Luke doesn’t like me like that.”

Tina scoffs. “Of course he does. He flirts with you nonstop.”

“He does that with everyone,” you argue, but it sounds weak even to your ears.

Tina knows it, too. “Sure thing, if that’s what you want to tell yourself. Regardless, they were both unhappy with each other, and ended up storming away, but not before saying something about proving they were each better or something.”

You frown. “What does that mean?”

“No idea,” Tina admits, “but I have a feeling that we’re going to find out pretty soon. Subtle doesn’t exactly go by the name of Luke or Percy.”

You grin. “You’re not wrong about that.”

She certainly isn’t. Within the hour, you’re seeing evidence that Tina’s investigations were sound. During dinner that night, Luke and Percy can’t stop glaring at each other. The next day, they’re practically at each other’s throats, both trying to outdo each other in obstacle courses and sword training and literally every challenge under the sun. It’s insane.

It takes about a day and a half before things get out of control. What started off as a harmless game of Capture the Flag ended up with Luke and Percy getting into a fight. They were both hauled off to camp headquarters to be chewed out by Chiron and Mr. D. Obviously, this is a private matter, but you can’t stop yourself from dropping by to see if you can overhear a few things later on.

Luke and Percy are being chastised appropriately in one of the rooms of the Big House. If you hover near the outside of the building, just beside a window, you can hear enough of what’s going on to piece together a few things.

You risk a glance inside as you walk over to the window. You can make out Chiron massaging his temples, looking absolutely sick of both boys’ nonsense. Mr. D. is glaring at a soda can in front of him as if willing it to turn to poison so he could down it and be rid of this nonsense.

“You do understand why you can’t be doing all of this, right?” Chiron is saying, “Both of you are role models in this camp for the younger students. That gives you extra responsibilities, some of which involve not tussling in the middle of the woods during a round of Capture the Flag.”

Luke’s voice filters out the window soon enough. “It won’t happen again.”

“No,” Chiron replies firmly, “I have a pretty good feeling that it will. In fact, these fights are going to keep happening until both of you sort out whatever animosity is brewing between you. Either you two talk it out, or you’re going to be stuck on dishwashing duty for the foreseeable future. I leave it to you to decide which fate is worse.”

Percy groans. “Look, sir, this isn’t–”

Mr. D. cuts him off irritably. “What, this isn’t our responsibility? Everything here is our responsibility, boy. Even jealous squabbles between two boys both stuck on one girl.”

You hear a sound that could be Percy choking on his own tongue. “What? That’s absurd. Why would you even think that?”

Chiron might be laughing. Either that, or it’s a truly terrible cough. “Your love lives are your own business. Trust that we want no part of that. What does concern us are the fights, however. Just clear up these problems, alright? I don’t want to see either of you in here again.”

You hear a scraping of chairs, which you assume is the boys being dismissed. Sure enough, a voice soon floats out of the window and down to you.

“This little show is over, Y/N,” Chiron says wearily, “You may now cease eavesdropping under the window.”

You take a few steps back so you can grin up at him. “Duly acknowledged, sir.”

Chiron might smile at that, although you can tell he’s still trying to look appropriately dour. “Do me a favor, Y/N, and make a choice? Those boys need to focus on something other than trying to outdo each other.”

This time you do laugh. “I’ll do my best.”

Chiron raises a hand in farewell and you follow suit before taking off back into the sprawling hills of the camp. Hands in your pockets, you stroll idly through the ranks of campers until you’re reaching the boundary of the forest. When you glance over your shoulder, you realize that there are two figures approaching you. Rapidly, in fact. When you squint to focus, you discover that they’re sprinting towards you at full force.

It appears to be a race, and sure enough, as they draw closer, the silhouettes reveal themselves to be Luke and Percy. You groan, fighting back a laugh. They truly are impossible, aren’t they?

They reach you in a matter of moments. Luke makes it there just before Percy, and you raise your hand in a clear declaration of victory. He clasps it triumphantly, biting back heaving breaths to grin over at Percy.

Percy opens his mouth to say something, but you hold up a hand. “Luke made it here first. Apologies, Jackson.”

Percy nods solemnly and backtracks, heading towards the center of camp once more. When Luke is able to recover his breath, he straightens up and turns towards you. He looks incredibly nervous. It might be the first time you’ve seen him as anything other than overly confident.

You decide to spare Luke the trouble of going through the motions. “I like you too, by the way.”

Luke stares at you in shock. “What?”

You grin. “You’re confessing. That’s why you and Percy were racing here, I assume? Well, it’s good that you won. I’d hate to turn Percy down if he made it here first.”

A slow smile is beginning to dawn on Luke’s face. “Really?”

You raise a teasing brow. “Why are you so surprised? I assumed you already knew.”

“Well,” Luke admits, “I knew what I wanted to think. It’s surprisingly easy to doubt yourself when you’re about to say it out loud, though.”

You reach over and take his hand. “Don’t worry, then. I choose you. I’ll do it over and over again if I have to.”

Luke squeezes your hand. “I’m very glad to hear it.”

For once, he’s not joking with you. Luke Castellan is completely serious about you. You couldn’t be more happy to discover that.

Give each NFCV and Nocturne character ratings, as in scores :P

Why must you hurt me in this way.

Trevor: 7/10. A cliché personality, but enjoyable enough, and with a nice mini arc in S1. Too bad he was turned from protagonist to silly comic relief by S2.

Sypha: 5/10. She's supposed to be the plucky innocent girl, but she's just too rude and insensitive, and not even by design.

Alucard: 1/10. A cunt with a bad boob job.

Dracula: 9/10 in S1, 5/10 in S2. He started out so well in the first episode, being actually the grief-stricken monster he was supposed to be... and then he became a Stupid Old Depressed Man for the sake of propping up Carmilla. bruh.

Lisa: 4/10. Way less likeable than she appears. She's condescending towards the peasants she supposedly wants to help and she doesn't give a single shit about her only son, even preferring to let him grieve the death of his parents.

Hector: 8/10 in S2, 5/10 in S3, 2/10 in S4. Started out as a promising character with an unique worldview and genuinely morally grey. Became nothing more than a punching bag for Ellis, losing his personality and dignity in one fell swoop. Will always be remembered as the dude who fell for vampire pussy. The way he was written in S4, which was supposed to "fix" him, makes me want to destroy a house by punching it.

Isaac: 2/10. He gains some points by being the only character with a coherent character arc, even if rushed like hell. But he's still a pretentious prick who got unfairly sucked off by the story and nowhere near as "deep" as his fans tout - he was just lucky to be the only character written with respect in the shitstorm that was S3.

Carmilla: 3/10. She's like Mephiles and Starline all rolled into one unlikable OC villain who only exists to paint Dracula in a bad light. She seems like a mastermind manipulator only because everyone around her lost IQ points exponentially. She became utterly irrelevant after S2 and had a grandiose death for nothing. She could have been much more, but this is what happens when a sexist pig writes a radfem villain.

Lenore: 1/10. That one point is because she had the potential to be an interesting, fleshed out antagonist with again an intriguing grey morality. But she had the misfortune of being written by a hack who can't give his characters a consistent personality and a sex pest with a clear dommy mommy fetish, so she became rape apologism bait and now she pisses me off at sight :D

The Lesbians: who?/10. Waste of good character designs. At least Striga was used for Berserk bait.

The Japanese not-twins: 0/10. Completely pointess torture porn fodder.

St. Germain: 8/10 in S3, 5/10 in S4. Pretty enjoyable in his first appearance, and surprisingly faithful to the game counterpart in spirit. I didn't even mind his descent into villainy, in theory. But let's just say that his motivation is... lacking. and hilarious.

Death: fuck/10. He's the ShTH of NFCV.

Richter: 6/10. Not too bad? I don't understand the hatred for him. He's perfectly inoffensive, if not bland. The only line that made me go "bruh" was him correcting the girls about the meaning of "fraternity" lol

Maria: 4/10. This is not a character. This is a parody of a communist teen on Twitter.

Annette: 1/10. As I said multiple times, she doesn't feel like a character, but as carefully engineered rage bait.

Tera: don't care/10.

Abbot: 4/10. I would care about his conflict more if he wasn't the stupidest man alive. Also his Devil Forging machine sucks ass.

Cecile: 3/10. Maybe don't teach your student that she is perfectly in the right in looking down her white French friends...?

Edouard: WHEN I'M LAID/10.

Olrox: 7/10. As for now, he's fairly interesting, mainly because of his intrigue. A bit too try hard, though.

Bara Agent Stone: bro really was shocked at the abbot having a child when he was happily sticking his dick in a male vampire/10

Sun Thundercat: 0/10. By far the worst villain I've ever seen in any kind of story.

Tiddied Isaac: 4/10. I would like her more for her unapologetic style (calling it "personality" is a stretch) if she didn't expose the sheer hypocrisy in the fandom :^)

Snippet Sunday - An Interlude

hey folks, getting in a post before i stream (btw, if you want to see me play old video games badly, check me out on twitch as therealgchu).

i started the next chapter, but it won't likely be up until the following friday. this friday, i already have an other vignette planned, this one a fun, steamy, smexy little piece. but, for today's snippet, putting up a sneak peek for the next chapter.

tagging the coemancer crew, @silurisanguine, @atonalginger, @fangbangerghoul, @staticpallour, @eridanidreams, @bearlytolerant, @aro-pancake, @lisa-and-shadow, @a-cosmic-elf, and whoever else i'm forgetting, cos i know i'm forgetting ppl.

if you want to read from the beginning, check it out on ao3.

they grow up so fast...

He handed his pack to Hwa while he scooped Cora out of her bunk, still sleepy. “Come on, gum drop, you gotta walk. You're too big to carry anymore,” he said with a touch of sadness in his voice. She yawned and rubbed her eyes.

“Ok.” She yawned again. “I gotta grab my pack. I’ll be down in a minute.” She crawled out of her bunk and slipped her feet into her shoes. “You know, we could always sleep on the ship. It would be easier,” she said as she grabbed her pack from underneath her bunk and made her way down the ladder.

Sam grunted, “I don’t think my back could take another night in these bunks. I gotta sleep in a real bed.”

Hwa smiled smugly and shrugged. “Not a problem I have,” she said.

“Yeah, yeah, small animal, big animal. C’mon, you two. Let’s get going.”

Cora looked back and forth at both adults and shook her head. She slung her backpack onto her back. “I’m ready to,” she yawned again, “go!”

“Let’s get you back to bed, string bean,” Sam said and led them out of the Razorleaf.

Once they reached the Lodge, Sam walked a half-sleeping Cora down to her room and tucked her into bed. “Good night, string bean,” he said and kissed her forehead.

“Goo nigh…” she mumbled as she was almost asleep when her head hit the pillow.

Sam stood by her doorway for a minute, watching his daughter sleep. She looked so much bigger in her bed these days! He loved the girl she had turned into, but he missed the child. She didn’t rush to him when she hurt herself anymore, begging for band-aids and kisses. While they still ate meals together, she no longer sat at the table and chatted with him about her day. She would clear the table, then run back to her room to do whatever she was doing. Probably reading, hopefully not trying to hack into UC security again. He thought about asking Hwa if there was a way to put something on her computer that would alert them, then thought better of it. When he was Cora’s age, whenever someone tried to put limits on him like that, he made sure he’d break everything. Cora was too much like him, and she’d only try to get around it.

He shut off the lights in the basement and headed upstairs. He found Hwa waiting for him on the second floor landing.

It's kinda gonna be fun when the members reveals their partners Especially tae and jk. The fandoms is 70-80% tkkrs be it closeted or open..most of them from small accts to big accts has started their journey in the fandom with being a tkkr who used to watch those ass slow-mos on yt so it's gona be fun seeing their shit crumble down. Won't be surprised if i see some even trying to physically harm themselves cause they be posting videos of them crying over smallest of jkkrs interaction now imagine the whole castle of delusional they have created crumbling down. Although i know for a fact that alot of tkkrs gonna use the exact things Larries use to this day that it's pr, it's fake to hide real shit. The same they used for tae nd Jennie.

Now for jkk...hm...i personally don't belive they dated or whatever but yeah they could have fooled around e/o won't be surprised over that but ids anything serious happening in there too and it's just gonna go the way most kpop ships go. With jkkrs although i know there's some toxic ones in there too but i know most of them will accept the truth but i know for sure many will always believe that they had something going on in the past.

About y/n then it's mostly tae and jk, Especially jk that will face problem cause he's got alot y/n. Tae too. Jimin's solos are not that shitty when it comes to his dating life, i think they'll be fine. most of them just think of him as some god like figure that's not supposed to be looked like that but just worship from afar lol cause he too perfect and too good 😂 it's funny how tkkrs still think that one of their ship was doing some pr with a female idol while other one is busy playing gay fs with his bandmate yet their ship is real cause it's a whole k-drama of forbidden love for them.

In that last bit - let us think about this:

Why would two 3rd gen idols play "gay fs" to the extent that JiKook do?

A lot of "gay fs" was and is queer idols being fucking queer

What is the PR angle on a phone hack that goes ignored by the subjects but is clearly real, when one of the subjects made violent threats over a dating rumour previously?

A PR angle is Lisa going to SWVI in Singapore and being featured in the SHINee account's photos

There is a k drama angle to the "jikook" romance too

Most JiKook fans won't have an issue because their ideas are based on observable reality; if that reality changes, so will their mindset 🤷‍♀️

I discount y/ns because you'd have to be clinically ill to fall into that category

#i said what I said #jikook and shipping politics

Heyyyy! I'm about to buckle down for a survival-focused D&D campaign. Now D&D isn't ideal for this but I'm stuck with it for the rest of the year, however I would LOVE to know if you have recs for survival-focused RPGs. Thinking heavy on food/resource management; tracking and foraging mechanics; less about the fighting and more about providing for the group. Any ideas?

THEME: Survival Games.

Hi friend! One genre that really knows how to replicate survival and resource management is Post-Apocalyptic games, which is why you’ll see a heavy emphasis on those kinds of games in this short list.You might also want to look into games in the OSR style, which encourages your players to keep stock of their inventory in the event that an item solves their problems better than combat ever will.

Rad Divers, by Oscar C. Tango.

Rad Divers is a game about building a sustainable city in a post apocalyptic world! Featuring a heavy focus on exploration and settlement management, this game is based off of Knave.

So go forth, and dive into the irradiated remains of the world that was!

Rad Divers requires your characters to keep track of multiple resources such as Security, Food, Water, Space, and Meds. Neglecting any one resource threatens to lead to turmoil within your settlement, and your crew must barter, scavenge, and ration their way to success. This is an OSR game, so your characters don’t have a lot of hit points to go around: cleverness will win out over brute force. The pdf layout isn’t anything to write home about, but the ideas within it are certainly worth a read.

Trespasser, Binary Star Games.

The Zone is an area that's been sealed off by a nation or group of nations due to its danger. It's filled with Anomalies, extremely dangerous areas where physical laws like gravity, magnetism, electricity, or chemistry can break down to lethal effect, as well as mutants and things considered impossible. But it also houses Artifacts: small objects that also defy physics, highly sought after by treasure seekers and scientists alike. And at the center is something even greater.

Like many, you have entered the Zone, but not legally. You are collectively known as Trespassers. Some inside are on their own, some in groups, some part of larger factions. But most want one thing: to reach the center and claim what it conceals.

Maybe you'll be the one to get there. Your Trespass begins now. Good luck.

This is a game about approaching the center of a dangerous Zone, uncovering its secrets, and either being defeated by it along the way or, worse, reaching its heart. You can play GM-less or with a GM, solo or with a group.

Trespasser is designed off of Breathless, a game system that slowly depletes at your resources in the form of whittling away at the size of your dice. You’ll start with a few skills at a d6, d8, and d10, but every time you use them, those skills will be reduced in dice size, until they all reach a d4. If you want to bring those skills back up, you’ll have to “catch your breath”, at which the GM is able to introduce a new obstacle or problem for your characters to deal with.

For more Breathless games, you can check out this collection, created by René-Pier Deshaies (the original author of Breathless.)

24XX Joyrider, by SageDaMage.

Inspired by Lisa: The Painful and Mad Max, this 2400 hack describes a post-apocalyptic world revolving around crazy vehicles and drug addicts wracked by the past. Including Cosmic Highway-esque vehicle rules as well as bartering rules inspired by The Dead are Coming, this TTRPG has everything you need to jump right into a gonzo hellscape such as this one.

Welcome to the Last Generation!

2400 games are usually only a few pages, and this game is no exception. However, the scramble for resources is replicated in the way your items are broken in order to prevent a more imminent physical threat. Your characters will also be responsible for maintaining and upgrading a vehicle, your home out on the wasteland. If you want a game about desperate survival in a world that wants to rip you apart, I recommend Joyrider.

Other games I’ve recommended in the past

Reclaim the Wild, by Eldritch Knight.

Numenera, by Monte Cook Games (specifically including crafting and community rules from Destiny).

Secrets and Lies, Part 7

***

As they walked away, Deeks heard Kensi skillfully flirting with Bennett. He was pretty sure he wouldn’t mind if the drinks never showed up.

It took a little longer than Deeks expected to ditch Lisa; she kept trying to get him out on one of the balconies, or to check out Bennett’s ungodly car collection. He’d known she liked him, or at least his attention, but hadn’t realized how deeply her crush went.

“Marty, we just got a new shipment of wine the other day. Maybe we could go down to the cellar and test some,” Lisa suggested, staring up at him hopefully while she clung to his arm. It was amazing how much more animated she became in Bennett’s absence.

“You know, I would love to, but I promised Thomas Walters I’d take a look at a contract for him,” Deeks declined, softening any sting from his words by dipping his head close enough he could smell peaches and vodka. “Rain check?”

“You’re always working. You need to relax.” She smoothed her hand down his arm, a coaxing note entering her voice. “And I have the perfect remedy.”

“Another time,” Deeks offered, gently sliding out from under hand.

Fortunately, she didn’t follow him, and he made a detour to the main reception room in case Lisa decided to watch him, before looping back around and taking a side door to the right wing of the house which led to Bennett’s private office and den.

“Alright, it’s show time, Eric,” he muttered, holding back out of range of the cameras he knew lined the hallway.

“Hacking in right now,” Eric responded, making a satisfied noise. “Oh look, the entire right wing has experienced an unfortunate disruption in service.”

Deeks had some rudimentary lock picking skills, courtesy of Kensi’s expertise, but fortunately they weren’t needed. He slipped into the office, closing the door quietly behind him, and began searching through the mahogany desk in the center of the room.

He heard Kensi’s intermittent responses to Bennett every so often. Right now it sounded like he was giving her a private tour of the spa facilities and questioning Kensi about her last job.

She handled him masterfully; playing into his flirtations and innuendos without giving up too much control. Deeks was certain Bennett was thoroughly distracted for the moment.

“That’s my girl.”

“What was that?” Nell asked, voice rising significantly at the end.

“Uh, nothing.” Deeks internally smacked himself for his slip up. Now was not the time for the team to start questioning his and Kensi’s relationship.

He continued searching the office, taking longer than he liked as he made sure to leave it looking the same as when he arrived. With a growl of frustration, he ran his hand behind bookcase, shaking his head.

“It’s not here,” he sighed. “I’ll have to search the master bedroom.”

“Deeks, Kensi and Forthright, just headed that way to look at the private gallery,” Nell warned. “What are you going to do if you run into them?”

“Do some fast talking and if all else fails, Kensi can incapacitate him, and we’ll lock him in the master bath.” A pointed silence followed and Deeks rolled his eyes. “I’m joking. Mostly.”

“Go ahead, Deeks,” Callen decided, speaking up for the first time. Deeks had to wonder what they’d been talking about off comms.

Deeks ran into a few waitstaff as he cut through the kitchen and took the back staircase to the second floor. Fortunately, most were too busy or accepted when he told them he was one of Forthright’s security.

He was sweaty slightly, heart rate just a bit faster than normal as he finally reached the master bedroom.

He rolled his eyes at the giant bed centered against the far wall with black bedding and a thick slab of polished wood serving as the headboard. The rest of the furniture he’d bet Lisa had a hand in picking out based on their more subtle and attractive style.

While Deeks searched with increasing urgency, Kensi used all her skill to keep Bennett confined to the gallery. Right now, she’d gone into a monologue about Monet. Although he couldn’t hear Bennett, he had the feeling he was looking to move the the tour onward.

When he reached a medium sized table across the room, he found the top drawer was locked. It took a minute for him to pick the lock, and he could picture Kensi standing over his shoulder, gently taunting him about his speed. He sighed when the mechanism finally released and slid the drawer open to reveal a slim, silver laptop.

“Ok, I’m plugging the flash drive in now,” he whispered once the screen was fully loaded.

“Yup. It should be done in three minutes,” Eric told him.

“Nice work, Deeks,” Sam complimented him.

“Thanks.” He exhaled heavily, bracing his hand on the desk as he closed his eyes.

“You gonna be ok, Deeks?” Callen asked, a note of laughter in his voice.

“Yep, definitely fine. Great in fact. Now can we get the hell—”

“Actually, I think Lisa and Marty are probably wondering where we are,” Kensi said suddenly, and this time he heard her voice down the hall in addition to through his comm.

Deeks still, eye flicking to the laptop screen which still showed a loading green line.

“Eric?” he barely breathed.

“I need one more minute.”

“Kensi, stall him,” Callen urged her as Deeks looked around the room desperately.

“Oh, I think there’s something you’d really enjoy seeing,” Bennett said, voice traveling down the hallway and through the walls. “It will only take a minute.”

“Mr. Forthright, I’m not sure what you’ve heard about me, but I’m not the type of woman to go into a man’s bedroom for a couple of drinks,” she teased, playful.

“I think you’re exactly the type of woman I like.” If it was any other time, Deeks would have gladly punched Bennett Forthright in his smug mouth, but for now, he was praying Kensi could guide him away long enough for Deeks to escape.

“We’ve got it!” Eric shouted, making Deeks jump slightly. He ejected the flash drive, tucking it into his pocket, shut down the laptop, and shoved it back into the drawer as quietly as he could.

“Now I won’t take no for an answer,” Bennett insisted, his voice right outside the door. Deeks stiffened for the briefest of seconds, before making a beeline for the walk-in closet.

***

A/N: Duh-duh-duh.

Thanks for sticking with this story. I hope it’s still enjoyable.

I find it really sad when I'm reading a fic that starts off strong and is great only for the writing to get weaker in later chapters. And I feel I have to say "no hate" here in case anyone thinks I'm hating. It's just really sad to begin to get bored of once amazing stories.

There was this older story that was great. Then, the author took a break because of real-life issues. Everyone understood. They came back periodically to post updates, saying they are not abandoning the work and are still dealing with stuff, give them time and be patient, etc. All the fans of the fic gave the author loads of support.

The author finally comes back after a while to finish the story and they post bulletin points for a final chapter and ends with "and Hermione dies. The End."

The author was like, "I don't care for the story anymore. I don't like dramione anymore. I don't like all the "when are you gonna update?" comments, so here you go!!"

People thought it was a prank. Or that someone hacked their account. It was so passive-aggressive and mean spirited. Everyone was confused as to why the author took a turn. And the bulletin points of the ending didn't even make sense with what was already written. The story had over 20 chapters at this point, and then the author ruins it. They ended up deleting their account.

I think for most authors, they just lose steam and get bored or just can't do it anymore. So they take the easy way out. Some unfortunately have to deal with horrible people constantly leaving bad reviews, so it discouraged them. You can't blame them for not caring anymore.

Others just have too much going on, and vet overwhelmed.

And others like the person I mentioned above just really doesn't care anymore and decides to cause chaos, lol.

Good morning! I hope you slept well and feel rested? Currently sitting at my desk, in my study, attired only in my blue towelling robe, enjoying my first cuppa of the day. Welcome to the weekend!

Wow! Here we are again: Friday! Where did that week go? No, seriously, where did that week go?

Next Wednesday, it will be March. Two months gone already! Naturally, it’s impossible to slow down time and, to be honest, I’m struggling to deal with these sands of time slipping away at an alarming rate. Don’t want to sound too morbid but I’ll be dead soon! No, I’m not ill but this is a fact. I’ll become a memory that becomes more distant by the day. You’ll have to read somebody else’s status. Or write your own. Now you know why I do so much. Now you know why I try to stay in contact with so many people.

My Instagram hacker got busy last night. Sending out begging letters to everyone that is STILL on that old profile. (Why are you STILL on that old profile?) People were sending me messages, “I think you’ve been hacked.” I was hacked LAST YEAR and told everyone to unfollow my old profile. The new profile is “wesker.lindsay”. If you don’t unfollow my old Instagram profile, you will continue receiving messages from the beggar. I told Instagram about my account being stolen and they did NOTHING!

Apologies for talking about race again but, yesterday, a black guy told me that his black friends weren’t interested in the ‘Elvis’ movie because of cultural appropriation. Wow, then they’d better stop listening to Adele, Ariana Grande, Teena Marie, Justin Timberlake, Robin Thicke, Hall & Oates, Steely Dan, Bob James, Jimmy Messina, Van Morrison, Average White Band, Boz Scaggs, David Bowie, The Doobie Brothers, Ed Sheeran, Eminem, Mac Miller, Post Malone, Lewis Taylor, Lisa Stansfield, Manhattan Transfer, Yvonne Elliman, KC & The Sunshine Band, Joss Stone, Moonchild, Marie Dahlstrom, Louise Golbey, Jacob Collier, Jon B, Michael McDonald, Ned Doheny, Paul Simon, Simply Red, Robert Palmer, Stevie Winwood, Talking Heads, Elton John, The Style Council, Bobby Caldwell, Amy Winehouse, Kenny Thomas, Level 42, George Michael, The Bee Gees Toto and every song written by Burt Bacharach & Hal David. Yeah, they’d better take those acts out of their playlist immediately! In fact, show me a white act that hasn’t – in some small way – been influenced by black music.

Really hope you can join me tomorrow for the final part of The Letter L. Once we finish The Letter L, it will be three years until we get there again. On March 4, we start The Letter M. My executive producer for M (Pt. 1) is The Very Generous Jen Kyriacou. (You are in for a treat.) The Letter M (Pt. 2) is on March 11 and then there is no ‘A-Z’ on March 18 as The Trouble and I will be down on the French Riviera! (Can’t wait!)

Have a fabulous and funky Friday! I love you all. You’re probably thinking, “You don’t even know me!” but, if people can hate for no reason, why can’t I love?

In a superhero au,which power would each DJATS character have?

Wow, cool and tough question! Are we basing their powers on their personalities ? Or just random powers they got cursed/ blessed with?...

Anyways, here I go :

First lets start with..

• Teddy Price has the power of detecting other people talents and / or super powers. Maybe he can read minds too. He is like Eleazar from Twilight (has the same power: detecting other peoples superpowers) , but in personality he IS very much the Xavier from Xmen or Gandalf from LOTR : The wise leader who can see the true Spirit and Hearts of the others.

• Rod Reyes : He has the power of organisation and order, he always can get everything done just in time magically. He always gets everything rightly done. As a manager Its useful

• Graham It's an empath (like Jasper from Twilight or Will Graham from Hannibal ) he can feel other peoples feelings and manipulate them too...Just in Graham's case he can Only calm people and give them peace .... He has like an anti-stress little ball.. Very needed tbh.

• Julia Its able to detect líes and see the truth , also know as intuitive perception , like the guy from the mentalist or even House from Dr House, she always see the patterns and guess correctly and always rightly when someone IS lying, she sees though people, and always calls out bullshit... Which Its very usefull for her as writer and journalist (I headcanon her as both as an Adult).

• Karen's power Its being a runaway , escaping of everything (trouble) and detecting danger, as she is very independent, I think It fits her.

• Lisa's power is being attractive and liked by people, everyone likes her always, everyone does what she needs them to do, they like to see her, her voice...Its like mental manipulation ...Only it isn't voluntary, she doesn't intend it, Its just like that.

• Warrens power Its super strenght and also being chill, because why not?

• Eddie's power Its super fastness, like the Flash, very ironical, because Billy being slower than him, always seems to get everyone and everywhere before him. Ouch.

• Simone's power Its seeing the future, she has visions. She cant control them, and they always become true. They are unavoidable they are like fixed images in stone. She doesnt know if theyre going to happen in 10 minutes or in 10 years, but they are always true. When the visions are tragic It hurts Her. Her vision of Camila's Destiny, as she can't do anything to fix it, It haunts her forever.

• Bernie Its able to manipulate electricity and Air, that way she can control sound waves thus Its a DJ without machines. She can hack into everything . Its cool, both Julia and Bernie together are terrifying , they know everyones secrets and use them for their benefit.

• Camila's power : None, she's just a nice human. Alternatively, her talent Its , pretty much like in canon, just being nurturing and nice. Everyone feels welcome with her and Happy. She exudes good vibes. Its a beautiful power but not very flashy or useful. She is Anti Bad vibes... Cool, but what about what she feels?? No one fixes that :(

• Finally ....Drumroll : Daisy and Billy, the tough ones.

Daisy Jones Its a SHIELD like Bella from Twilight, she survives everything always mostly unscathed, no one can harm her with their powers, she IS immune to other peoples powers. She IS the most powerful. Undestroyable, but tragically ironical she IS always very hurt by peoples non magical actions (her Mom particularly).

Billy Its to me the most complicated, he IS haunted and also angsty, so i think he should have a better reason than fear and his shitty dad, so i made him be a telepath, he reads other peoples minds,both by touching them (Aro from Twilight ) and by hearing them at distance (Edward Cullen from Twilight and Sookie Stackhouse from True Blood) but as he can't stop hearing them ever, except when he IS drugged and drunk as fuck (like Xavier in Xmen Dotfp movie) he IS a mess. Camila makes him fell better, but he can read her thoughts about being jealous, deceived and betrayed by him, Graham makes him peacefull and sleepy, but he IS scared of his addiction and annoyed by his power, and Daisy...Its what he longs for, a bless for him, because she can block his power, thus giving him pleasing needed silence, but she is also a curse because she IS: 1 - forbidden fruit and temptation, 2- a mess just like him if not worse, 3- also never shuts Up around him (except for kisses, again forbidden because he IS like... You know, Married?) thus they argue all the time, so no silence. All that makes him extra angry and angsty...and longing watcher too . Plus 4- they are both idiots in love and... Its ruining their lives ( Taylor Swift Its a Queen❤️ and TTPD is phenomenal)

In the end, everyone and everything keeps being the same and nothing changes at all. Djats keeps being the same, mostly.

What a cool ask!! Thank you so much!!

Quoting Bugs Bunny:

#answered asks #Djats meta #Cool #Many pop culture references #taylor swift #TTPD ❤️

Cyberpunk 2077 AU

Shinji and Ayame were born with an ability to cause people to become disoriented with them around. (Basically a native ability to force someone into a brain dance)

Of course, they were taught how to control this as they grew older, but as they grew older their ability grew with them, and they required an inhibitor chip. These ended up being upgraded every so often as their ability caught up with the current chip on the market.

Shinji ended up working for Arasaka and was one of the higher ups, he had a subordinate, Sosuke.

Ayame worked under Shinji as well as a secretary. Someone to keep the paper work up to date and filed away.

Ayame also worked with Arasaka and helped with costumes and floats during festivals.

Later on, he'd take on a young Kisuke as an intern/trainee for his division.

(They worked on weapons that'd both cause and prevent manipulation of the mind… (I guess this'd be hacking in a sense?).)

Shinji treated Aizen with suspicion that he was going to overthrow someone in Arasaka. Never treating his subordinate as he would others gained a bit of anger from Aizen that he wouldn't show during work.

However, Shinji would take his new intern out for drinks and bullshit with him about the ropes. What to do when working there, what he expected of the other… even bringing his sister to those, and they'd have fun.

Aizen didn't like this, as he was gunning for a promotion that clearly the intern was going to get.

People, friends of Shinji's, started disappearing from Arasaka. Sometimes shrugged off as they were tired of working there, taking a break or outright quitting.

Kensei started digging into the situation, disappeared.

Mashiro disappeared, as well as most of Kensei's division.

Rose started going into it, also disappeared.

Love? Investigated, thought he got something, disappeared.

Lisa? Disappeared.

Hiyori also tried to dig into it, as a subordinate to Kisuke, disappeared as well.

Ayame dug into that situation and found no one put in paperwork for vacations or to quit their jobs. Everyone was scheduled as normal, and she let Shinji know. This is what put a target on her back. Placards replaced, offices cleared out, but no one quit or anything else… something was off.

Shinji had grown more suspicious of Aizen who had eventually replaced the siblings inhibitor chips with enhancement ones and those were difficult if not impossible to remove.

At this time, Kisuke had put in his notice and didn't go to work the day of the incident, as he didn't think he was going to fit in with the structure of Arasaka.

Bumping Shinji off like that and making him and his sibling worse and unstable caused them to get fired, and Aizen took control of the department.

This left them without jobs and homeless for a time… Shinji was able to gain more control over his ability to disorient people, but the enhancement was difficult to control.

Ayame had more trouble and caused people to become sick from her, causing them to go blind as well as unable to move properly.

All of Shinji's friends were alive… just ended up being 'disposed of' by Aizen.

Shinji ends up taking whatever gigs he can get at one point. They're high risk to be around. So since he was capable of overcoming some but not all of the enhancement… he could do jobs here and there.

Shinji ended up finding out his intern/trainee became a ripper doc and had gone to him since he could control the enhancement to an extent, and tried to get Kisuke's help. He explained what happened and where everyone else went.

This got him and Ayame the help they needed, the enhancement chip being nullified for the most part but unable to be replaced. It could be updated and upgraded as needed, but they had to keep going to see Kisuke for those… which neither of them minded.

Their power could cause trouble as well as a threat to others and trouble for Arasaka… and that's where Militech came in… to take what Shinji knew of what his division was up to, for the right pay. Shinji knew trade secrets from Arasaka, and they could use that to their advantage. Dealing any kind of blow to Aizen's pride was just a bonus.

Ayame becomes Kisuke's Technical Assistant/Anesthesiologist and a potential back alley treatment for those seeking help with cyberpsychosis on the cheap.

Due to the three of them having semi-decent pay, they end up having a 2/3 bedroom apartment together.

Still might summon Mothra.

Entwined a bit with @uraharashouten's Kisuke's Cyberpunk 2077 AU

Leverage Redemption Log: The Jackal Job

Name unlikely to refer to an actual jackal, an animal that is one of the most common aliases for fictional phantom-thief types (probably slightly after "cat" and before "fox" but i dont have any hard data) --- Episode starts, nice old lady is wondering why a man, presumably her son, or one of those court-apointed guardians is stealing her stuff. Fuck its going to be about Elderly Abuse.

As of right now, its not entirely clear as to wether he is an asshole who is exploiting a dementing relative, legitimately trying to take care of her but struggling financially because fuck the economy is just never gonna recover from the multiple financial collapses we've suffered or outright gasslighting her into believing she is suffering dementia. 2/3 options would make him evil and this is leverage so im not holding out hope for him being misunderstood. so like, probably evil with maybe a 2.5% chance of a "he's trying his best and just really shit at showing it". But yeah, this is leverage. He's a baddie, question is just if he's exploiting his mom, or feigning a relation so he can go to the judge and say "she's so far gone, she doesnt recognise her son (who i definitlly am)" --- Episode starts: Breanna is forced to do community service cause she was caught stealing something. (this is our "juror number 6" plot for Breanna.) Take your time, slow down, pay attention to details. Well nice to see Sophie give the crux of this episode away in her first 3 lines of the episode. and she just picked Breanna's pocket. She's an old thief. (wonder if she and Archie ever hung out...) Sophie spots the ring, then the Astonomers by Vermeer and realises instantly that she knows this woman. (also, does the son know that is the genuine Vermeer he's gonna sell, or does he think its one of those gift-store Mona Lisa's? Cause if he doesn't, he's in for the worst deal of a century) --- Alzheimer's... Well guess im going to be feeling a lot less witty writing this log then most. Thats not something i'd like to joke about too much. Ok, Hinkley is not his son, he's a professional guardian. --- just a side-note that we'd better end this episode with at least an alusion to Breanna having hacked whatever servers are tracking her community service, cause she's kind of about to build up a truancy on that stuff. Like i know that "caring for an elderly or disabled person" is the type of stuff that could be court appointed community service, but this was not the task she was court appointed

Sophie is pulling the "im your replacement" card. Jackal picks up quickly. --- Ok the team is all here now, You're being stupid. She's here because she fell in love with the mark, (who is probably but not guaranteed to be her power of attorney). Her last con was a failure or at least not a known success. Looking for the one thing that she stole that was never returned isnt gonna solve anything because she isnt known to have stolen it. --- Ok the little Edie con is working? Basically a violin-sale but Parker is the Violin. Breanna has experience with elderly Alzheimers patients (grandma) We're doing Leverage Crew-ified Flashbacks again... (this is gonna hurt on an emotional level)

Oh i can see where the twist is gonna happen: Josephine was the mark (bars real owner=safe's real owner=safe combination knower)... And Jo, former bar-owner, fled the country alongside her to escape her gangster ex and started a coffee shop in this town. Oops, Breanna just all-but confirmed the first half of my suspicions (which this early in the episode, means im wrong) --- Harry has a little conductors hat amongst his stuff... Oh look at that, he just said the judge gets first pick of his stolen goods... the judge has the gun (and a heck of a scandal it'd be if a judge was found in posession of stolen goods... and a stolen gun belonging to a founding father at that...) Lovely work on the tiny mirror-box (that she definitly hadnt arranged to be there in advance), Elbow bruises. (chances she didnt "donate" the gun cause it was used in the murder of a london gangster named Earl increasing rapidly) --- The painting, find the painting. "prefect never lasts forever"

they had a daughter.

and all was fine until the papertrail caught up to them. (the daughter... She might be our way out) --- get the judge (noted antiques lover) to overhear that the Turlington Pistol was amongst her posessions, divide and conquer. the money was in the car. (i was a bit suspicious when Jo said "its got a couple hundred worth of tips" when they were running away. But i justified it as her being too good a citisen to steal from Earl) --- Tip for showrunners: If you want to start a comercial block on a cliffhanger, dont have it be an attempted murder of our still-alive narrator. It sort of undermines the tense suspension.

so she shot earl (unsuprising.) Back in the modern day we're headed for a warehouse and Jackal is lifts the gun so we can frame Sophie for stealing the gun so they can steal a fake back from Sophie.

Ok not so much a fake (they didnt have time to prep one) as just placing a made in china sticker on the real and genuine article. (amazingly simple act of brilliance)

Parker's reputation is worth its weight in gold. (a personal favour from someone who started this season by stealing 8 Rembrandts in a single night in multiple museums across the entire United States, is worth a lot compared to a contract with a small-time purveyor of stolen goods. Whodathunk?)

Oh they did pull an entire switch with the gun. (honestly, after the little Made In China sticker reveal, the fact they pulled a genuine switch with a store-bought replica instead of a simple sticker-sleight-of-hand is suddenly quite disapointing, especially as we know the fence was on their side anyways.)

Im going to be honest and say that the Jo acress doesnt have the most convincing elderly wig. (also they kept the plushie) ---

Noma Lacri

Title: Angelo Cibernetico. Alter Ego: Unknown. Has gone by Maria or Lisa on separate occasions. Confirmed to have been born human. Private subject. Nationality: Italian. Occupation: Full-time Emancipator, lab assistant to Miss Ion in her downtime. Otherwise unknown. Group affiliation: The NY Emancipators. Base of Operations: Manhattan. Genova, Italy (former). Likes: Friends. Dish-washing (7 limbs help a lot). Dislikes: Enemies. Power outages. Skills: Hacking. Crowd control. Holds the world record at Snake.

Powers: Strange cyber-biological lifeform. Enhanced speed, strength and durability. Able to reconstitute her form following physical injury. Able to travel through electric wiring and enter/speak through/manipulate/fix machinery. Able to "communicate" with machine-based lifeforms. Can produce nanobots to extend her powers to biological lifeforms upon contact, mostly used for healing purposes. Nanobots must be removed or withdrawn quickly to prevent injury to both parties. Does not need to sleep, but requires sustenance to survive. Her stomach appears to contain a miniature portal that compensates for her lack of mouth. Eats by using said portal and using her legs/tendrils to push objects inside of it. Theoretically able to "eat" and convert anything into energy, including living beings. Said option is a last resort. Displays unusual degrees of spatial awareness and cold reading, speaks in inscrutable but often prophetic tones. Unclear if this correlates to any kind of mind-reading or future-telling ability or is another side effect of her biology.

"Honestly, next to Noma? I'm a poser. She scares the SHIT out of villains in ways I couldn't dream of, and she's got some really, really weird powers we know very little about. Don't tell Jeremy I even said this, but I honestly think she could beat Sangrier, and NOBODY beats Sangrier, that's the highest compliment I could give anybody. I know she tends to take this wrong way, and I can't blame her, but I'm not being ironic, I genuinely admire her a lot, I think she's too hard on herself. I'm actually kinda jealous of her sometimes. Being a badass scary monster rules, man, why would you even want to not be one? What, cause people hate you and try to kill you for it? Yeah, tell me something I don't know." - The Vulturine

"I, I wanted to get lunch with her back when we started, just to get to know her, tell her about the costume I was working with Huxley and Ion to design for her, see if she was onboard with the wings and cape and public branding of it all. She can't exactly, um, take her mask off like the rest of us, so I got some takeout. She didn't say anything much, kinda left me talking to myself for most of it, I guess she wasn't hating it? She closed her eyes and made this clicking sound sometimes when I made a joke, I, I'll take that was a laugh. Anyway, dating just came up in the conversation, and she told me to ask out Guard Ramon at some point after work. It, it was this V.A.P.O.R officer I was kinda thinking about a little, and I kinda freaked out that she knew what I was thinking, but she wasn't judgy or mean about it, I didn't, I mean... Okay, look, MAYBE she is kinda creepy, maybe she doesn't get along with most people and, maybe she words everything she says like she's putting it in your tombstone, but she means well, truly. I definitely 100% don't think she's ever going to start eating people and that's NOT A COOL THING TO IMPLY, VULTURINE, OKAY? - Hayato

"I don't think Noma has anything to go back to, outside of what we do in this team. I mean, I don't have anything I'd want to go back to, but that is on me, yes? I left my country and family by choice. I did the right thing. Noma, I, I'm not sure. I don't think she had a choice, in whatever she became. I'm not sure if "right" or "wrong" are sufficient for her. I think whatever Kirigami is planning, what we're trying to build here, maybe she needs it more than we imagine. And we do need her, it's, I don't want her to ever feel like she doesn't belong. I trust her. I'd like to think I have her trust, she looks out for all of us, yes but... But I've been thinking lately and, Noma only speaks generally when she truly, urgently has to, and she speaks to me more so than anyone. We work together, k, that helps. But I wonder if, maybe I'm just not asking her the right questions? ...I'm a little afraid of what I'm gonna hear if I do ask her the right questions." - Miss Ion
