Into, Across and Beyond! Scripting: LM!Sonic's Cruel Nature

EXTRA CONTENT WARNING: Depictions of abuse

After OMT!Tails, Pana and Barry came off the express train to the Gust Planet dorms, OMT!Tails took some time to process things.

OMT!Tails: Whole rooms for each individual member?

Pana: Yep! All personalised to every member and their interests, to make it a home away from home if they can't go back to their dimension for whatever reason, or if a duty requires an overnight stay.

OMT!Tails: Cool! So, please be truthful with me, Pana. Are you and Mina dating, or is there another reason she's been crashing at your dimension?

Pana: Yeah, it's the latter, Tails. She's not going back to her universe by any means, so I let her stay over at mine sometimes when she's not with you.

OMT!Tails: Heh, fair enough.

Barry: This is LM's dorm, isn't it?

Pana: Good spot! Let's head inside.

They entered the room.

OMT!Tails: Oh! Hey, Fiona!

Fiona: Hello, Tails.

OMT!Tails: Man, I can't believe the state of this spot. It doesn't even feel like a room; more like a cluttered workspace.

Fiona: Yeah... That's more his choice.

Pana: How's LM been treatin' ya? I doubt it's very good, considering his current track record.

Fiona: *sigh* You wouldn't know the half of it...

Pana: Look, why not move out of this spot? You've got better positions outside this room.

Fiona: I don't know, it's just...

Barry: Miss Fiona, you can trust us, can't you?

The big machine in the room started firing up and prepared itself... very, very slowly. It was to the point that OMT!Tails was almost compelled to ask about it.

Fiona: Yeah, I know it takes a moment, but... it's his thing.

LM!Sonic emerged from the machine after materialising from it.

Fiona: LM, this is OMT Tails.

LM!Sonic: Yes, I know who he is.

OMT!Tails: Hey! I brought you one of these if it helps!

OMT!Tails passed him the Tex Mexan sandwich he bought.

LM!Sonic: Hmm. Wonderful.

He put it aside for later.

OMT!Tails: Listen, I- I'm really excited to do everyone here a big favour! LM!Sonic: Oh, great. OMT!Tails: I have a plan on how we can go catch Crimtake. LM!Sonic: Oh, wow. OMT!Tails: He just wants to be taken seriously, you know? Like we all do. LM!Sonic: Uh-huh uh-huh.

LM!Sonic promptly threw the nearby garbage can at OMT!Tails as he dodged it and Pana caught it before moving it aside.

LM!Sonic: He's worried about Crimtake. I'll worry about Crimtake!

OMT!Tails (worried): W-What did I do?!

Fiona: LM, it's not his fault!

Barry: Fault? What do you-?

LM!Sonic: YOU BLEW ANOTHER HOLE IN THE MULTIVERSE!

Pana: That's not how Tails works, man! He doesn't play by your rules.

LM!Sonic: Oh, tell that to Mina, then. SHE knew better, and she-.

Pana offered LM a flowery bow, leading him to facepalm.

LM!Sonic: I'm just gonna try to ignore you. I can't even...

??!?????: Come on, LM! Go easy on the kid!

CU!Sonic entered the room.

CU!Sonic: He didn't have the best teacher. Who's to say he had a choice?

OMT!Tails: It's you, Sonic!

CU!Sonic: Hey, Tails!

On cue, CU!Sonia swung in on her mini enerbeam bracelet.

CU!Sonia: Whoo! Hahahaha!

CU!Sonic went up after her as (almost) everyone watched with a smile.

Fiona: Heh, they sure know how to lighten the mood in here.

CU!Sonic: Woah, er... Don't forget to keep your day pass on, mini-blue.

CU!Sonia: Catch me if you can, dad!

Pana: Heh, the kid's a little rebel.

LM!Sonic (sweating): ...I can't take this, I can't take this...

CU!Sonic managed to catch her on the roof.

CU!Sonic: Gotcha! I knew I was gonna regret trainin' her like this. That's a mistake on my part.

CU!Sonia: Heh, NOW you're saying that, dad?

She slipped loose and back to the floor with a mischievous giggle.

CU!Sonic: Hey, Barry. You wanna see pictures I took of her?

Barry: I mean, she's right there, so-.

CU!Sonic: She's incredible! Look, this is one time she helped foil a bank robbery, this is when she confiscated a chilli dog from me out of jealousy...

While he showed Barry the pictures, CU!Sonia was running around OMT!Tails, who found it fun.

OMT!Tails: Hehe! This is so much fun!

She then climbed on top of LM!Sonic's head and started t-bagging goofily.

LM!Sonic (super annoyed by this): I'm trying to hold a serious discussion here...

CU!Sonic: You know you're the only Sonic the Hedgehog here with no sense of humour, right? We're supposed to be funny, man.

LM!Sonic: The fate of the multiverse is-!

CU!Sonic: Yeah, you always lose me with that one. I hear you say "the fate of the multiverse" and, *yawn*, my brain goes to sleep.

CU!Sonia ended up tumbling off LM!Sonic's head, though he paid enough attention to catch her and pass her back to CU!Sonic, all whilst remaining foul-tempered.

CU!Sonic: Yep, she's a Rose. That's what happens when a kid like her has a full chilli dog.

CU!Sonia: Heh, sorry, dad.

LM!Sonic: Miles. You disrupted a canon event.

OMT!Tails: Guh-. That thing EV told me about? Seriously?

CU!Sonic: That's not how Tails works, LM.

Pana (to CU!Sonia): Dumping on the establishment in your own way? I salute you!

CU!Sonia (with a confident smile): You know it!

OMT!Tails: What are you even upset about? I helped save those people back there-.

LM!Sonic: And that's the PROBLEM!

He threw a cricket ball to his side, where it hit Fiona's nose, causing OMT!Tails to realise just why she didn't like being around him.

LM!Sonic: Just escort them back out of here, Fiona.

Fiona: But...

LM!Sonic: That's an order!

OMT!Tails stood up for her, not at all happy.

OMT!Tails: Hold on a minute, LM! You've got a pair of hands to do that job. Why is that Fiona's job when she's not been asked to do it by the REAL leader of this place?

LM!Sonic: It's her role as my secretary, isn't it?

OMT!Tails: And that's solely meant to be a woman's job?

LM!Sonic: Yeah, of course it is!

OMT!Tails: LM, what gender is the late Queen Elizabeth II?

LM!Sonic (sweating): She's a female.

OMT!Tails: And you're suggesting the Queen should be forced to do duties she's not comfortable with?

LM!Sonic: No, not at all!

OMT!Tails: Then actually do your job, then!

CU!Sonic went around to comfort Fiona, who was tearing up from this physical abuse.

LM!Sonic: Hold on a minute... The Queen of England's one thing, but this is my dorm! What the... What the hell am I doing...?! (to OMT!Tails) Now, you listen here, Prower! You may have your fancy education spot, but what goes on in this dorm is my business!

OMT!Tails: Not if people are being physically and verbally abused-.

LM!Sonic: I am talking!

OMT!Tails immediately kicked him over before shouting RIGHT in his face.

OMT!Tails: And I'm not LISTENING!

OMT!Tails: Now, you, LM, you are staring into a deep, dark pit of trouble if you don't cut this out. So I'm telling you, "sir", tell me what's really going on!

LM!Sonic: Grr... You'd never understand. You fox geniuses are too blind to understand.

This ticked off OMT!Tails enough for him to tail-swipe LM square in the face and right out the room, prompting him to bolt it.

Pana: I'll get after him! Tails, Barry, get the data he's hiding and hurry to the main meeting room before LM gets there!

OMT!Tails: You got it!

The two pulled out a data file from LM's cabinet.

OMT!Tails: You can get out of here, Fiona. There's no need to be a part of whatever he's up to.

She just stayed silent, feeling reluctant to disobey him, considering he dishes out physical abuse to those not doing their jobs right.

Barry: It's going to be okay, Miss Fiona. I promise.

The two left, CU!Sonic and CU!Sonia having left a moment prior.

CU!Sonic: We're gonna go have some time out from this. You two get that file to EV! He'll know how to handle it.

OMT!Tails: Right!

Barry: You go on ahead, Tails. Blow that horrid truth to the whole Society, for our sakes!

OMT!Tails: What about you, Barry?

Barry: I don't have the speed to catch up with you. I'll go and inform the girls at the Transport Hub to await your arrival if need be.

OMT!Tails: That's okay, Barry. I'm really glad for your help, either way.

Barry: Hehe! Don't mention it!

The two split whilst Pana engaged with LM!Sonic in combat on top of one of the trains.

OMT!Tails: EV?

EV!Sonic: Reading you loud and clear, kid! Can I ask why you split from the tour before?

OMT!Tails: Well, LM's been hiding some nasty stuff in his dorm, AND he's been abusing Fiona, physically AND verbally.

EV!Sonic: God, that's not good... I'll call several of the elites over ready for your arrival. In the meantime, make sure LM is distracted long enough for you to get here first.

OMT!Tails: You got it!

Can we talk about the dynamics of the group & how precious everyone is? You can't deny that JongKey were really close - Jjong hugged Key the longest after all. And then OMT are respectful enuf to wait for them at the side but started to laugh when they realized that Key was crying and Key was surprised at himself for crying like we know you're a softy, too, Key. You cry a lot in concerts, too. 😂😂 But of course he'd allow Jjong to hug him for as long as he wants. And then we have Taemin who can't stand awkward situations so he goes to address the audience like "they're overwhelmed with joy, you guise" and insert a couple of awkward giggles after. Then Minho approaches JongKey to pat them at the back like how he always does when he's consoling the members like "I got yer back, fam. I'm here." Then when Jjong releases Key, you can see how Key and Minho prepared for a group hug or a final bow but noooo Jjong walks towards Taemin like go let Taemin know u love him, Jjong. But Taemin, being awkward with showing emotion and all, stepped back slightly but then stopped himself so that Jjong won't feel insulted, but also so that they can get it over with coz Shawols know how impatient Taem can be. So he let Jjong hug him, too. 💙 but only patting Jjong slightly at the back with his fingers while reaching out to his Onew hyung then Onew giving him an understanding glance like just let him hug you. Then Jjong was already in a hugging spree so he went to Onew, too. And oh god Key control ur face! 😂😂 and u would know how Jjong appreciates Onew because he clamped his fingers on Onew back so hard and Onew just closed his eyes while hugging Jjong back. :') Then Minho was there, ready with arms open, to hug his hyung. Sweet, sweet Minho... I'd always remember how he surprised Jjong during his last night as a radio DJ and how he asked Jjong, "You will come back as a DJ, right, hyung?" I feel like SHINee always knew. Of course they would. With the way Minho asked him during his last dj night, it was like he wanted to make sure Jjong has plans for a future for himself. Also when Jjong gestured for everyone for a group hug, you'd see Key crying. And I felt that it was also hard for the members - for having depression isn't only hard for the person, it can also be stressful to the person's family and people they always spend time with. And the most that they can do is to be there for Jjong especially during anxiety attacks that are similar to this one. But of course Minho would always try to make the atmosphere light again so he went along with the chant. Then when SHINee spread out, Jjong went to Onew hyung who is always there for him. 💙

In the last three years, the US Federal Reserve has raised interest rates nine times and started to reduce the budget after bringing it to record levels after monetary stimulus plans. The fact that in the "normalization" path of monetary policy the Fed is several steps ahead of other central banks puts it in a better position to face the possibility of a recession. Much better than for example that of the ECB that has already asparato many cartridges. However, Mario Draghi has kept on reassuring investors that he still has many arrows for his bow. Here are what they are.

1) Forward guidance

Draghi is the man who with a single sentence (the famous whatever it takes of 2012) saved the euro and is a champion in managing the expectations of the markets letting you understand what his monetary policy strategy will be. The indication of future moves (forward guidance in jargon) is a tool that, if used well, can be very effective. In the event of a recession or a slowdown in the economy, the ECB can confirm its commitment to keep the rates low for a long time and to reinvest at maturity the securities it has purchased in recent years under the QE.

2) Facilitated loans to banks

One of the measures that, in the expectations of many, the ECB could launch in the coming months is a new round of subsidized loans to the banking sector by means of a renewal of Ltro and Tltro plans launched in recent years. Recently the exponent of the board Bce Benoit Coeuré expressed himself in this sense. These are loans at the official rate that the ECB has provided in the past to ensure adequate access to liquidity to the institutions. They generally last between 3 and 4 years and between 2020 and 2012 the 727 billion outstanding loans will expire, the bulk of which is parked at Italian and Spanish banks. The ECB can simply decide to renew them for the outstanding amount, but it can also decide to pay a higher amount in the event of a recession. This measure, in particular in its "constrained" version (Tltro) which conditioned the disbursement of a financing plan to the real economy, contributed a great deal to reactivating the credit channel. Especially in a country like Italy ended up in the grip of the "credit crunch".

3) Revise the inflation target

The ECB does not have much room for maneuver on rates as they are currently at historic lows and it is unlikely that it will be lowered yet. But there is one thing the ECB can do and it is upwardly revising its inflation targets. Most central banks have set a 2 percent inflation target. The ECB is the only one that has set a target for consumer prices "below but close to 2%". If this parameter were to be revised upwards, the markets could discount a more expansive policy by the ECB. In the past, the Bank of Japan did so even if, it must be said, the measure has not proved so effective.

4) Renewal of the Qe

Another of the options on the table could be the restart of the securities purchase plan (Quantitative easing) interrupted starting this year. Currently, there are bonds in the ECB balance sheet equal to 20% of the euro area GDP. We are 70 percent in Japan. There is potential for maneuvering space. According to Capital Economics, under the current conditions, the ECB is potentially able to expand the size of the QE for a value of one trillion euros (about 40% of the approximately 2600 stocks that it has already bought) even if probably this could imply the renegotiation of certain stakes that have so far regulated the application of the plan. "If there was more flexibility in respecting nationality quotas," Capital Economics writes, "the ECB could, for example, buy up to 500 billion more corporate bonds" (currently it has a portfolio of 178 billion). Another option could be for example to include in the plan also the bonds issued by financial companies so far excluded from the perimeter. According to the British home business, the ECB could increase its exposure to government bonds for another 500 billion. Even more by modifying some rules (for example the limit of 33% of titles of each country). However, the obstacles are not as technical as political. It is clear that an extension of the Qe would benefit the most indebted countries like Italy and less to countries like Germany.

5) Control of the " Yield curve"

A very political one could be another move that the ECB could adopt in the event of a crisis: that is to copy the Bank of Japan's "control of the curve" strategy. Since October 2016, the Japanese central bank has changed the technology with which it purchases securities on the markets. There is no predetermined but flexible amount. The only criterion to be met is that the yield curve for Japanese government bonds remains close to zero. In the context of a monetary union, such a measure risks being difficult to apply for various reasons. The ECB could in fact decide to control only the German government bond curve (which is already extremely low), leaving the other securities to be subject to market fluctuations. But obviously by doing so the ECB would attract criticism from other countries. On the contrary one could control everyone's curve, including the most indebted ones like Greece or Italy, but in doing so it could give rise to these countries to make deficits. A measure of the petraltro kind is at high risk of causing a violation of article 123 of the European treaties that prohibits the monetary financing of member countries.

6) Purchase of shares

Another option on the table could be to make purchases on the stock market as did the Bank of Japan, which since 2011 buys Etf and today has a portfolio in shares of 300 billion euros. In this case there is no risk of violating the treaties and there is no risk of the scarcity of securities to be purchased as the European market capitalizes over 5 thousand billion euro. Such a measure would in any case be very controversial because it would expose the central bank to possible losses and would risk heavily influencing the price formation mechanism. As with many other options available, the question is not whether there is a real possibility of doing so but if there is a willingness to do so.

7) OMT in case of extreme crises

Unlike what happened during the sovereign debt crisis between 2010 and 2012, the ECB has many tools at its disposal to deal with a possible crisis. Starting from the so-called "anti-spread shield" (Omt in jargon) which gives the possibility to buy a virtually unlimited amount of government bonds of a single country up to 3 years of expiry. The condition is that the State make explicit request and agree with the European authorities and the State Savings Fund a fiscal recovery plan. Also in this case the risk is fundamentally political because there is a real possibility that the country requesting it (Italy could do so because of its debt and deficit problems) may not accept the conditions imposed and go to the conflict with the Union threatening the exit from the euro.
