Hey :))

What if JD had a friend from his band days, like, she had a band and they hung out backstage. Maybe he had a crush on them but had to keep it a secret to now „ruin fans fantasies“ or something

But when he separated they never saw each other again. And years pass, readers band stops making music after a while and becomes a bunch of responsible adults.

But when he comes to tell Branch about Floyd he recognizes his crush/friend and is all over them?

Sorry this is kind of specific :

-(seen other ppl giving names so…) Gummy Anon

Ooooooo ok

Your band wasn’t as well known BUT it always opened for Brozone

You were in a band with three others, and you were the oldest

You were the main vocalist and backup guitarist

And JD was amazed when he first heard you play

He’s the reason you always opened for them-

Though he’ll never admit it

Y’all started the ritual of hanging out backstage before he started to get more stressed about the performance being perfect

You’d mainly chill out, talk about songs that either one was writing- hell you’d even help each-other write songs

Flirting with each other through song and performances

And then one day he just started… distancing himself from you and your band

All his brothers would still talk to you but he always seemed to find a reason to leave the room or ignore you

After a while you went over to Grandma Rosiepuff’s a couple of months of this strange behavior

Cause you wanted to hang out with bitty b after the bad performance yesterday

You wanted to reassure him that happens all the time

But what ended up happening is Grandma Rosiepuff comforting you both as the news of the brothers leaving without a good bye, settled over you

Years later…

You had been with branch throughout all the hard times, helping him where you could and where he allowed you to

And now you were watching Bridget and Gristle get married

“STOP THE WEDDING!”

You whipped your head around- ready to fight, and then you noticed the troll flying through the air and landing on the aisle

Your eyes widened as you recognised who the troll was

Your eyes started to tear up before you turned away and leapt down the stairs to hide behind a bergans leg, signalling them to be silent as you desperately tried to wipe your tears away

“Sorry, sorry- I’m uh, I’m looking for a troll called AH! Baby BRANCH!!”

You watched him scramble up to Branch, feeling bad that you weren’t up there with him but knew Poppy would have his back

He awkwardly interacted with Branch before Poppy insisted he stop and tell them who he is

JD introduced himself and you laughed slightly as Poppy unintentionally roasted him

John Dory’s head turned at heating your laughter looking down at the crowd before turning and asking Branch

“Is… is y/n here?”

You covered your mouth as Branch confirmed you were but holding JD back from looking for you-knowing you’d come out when you were ready

You watched as he explained the situation with Floyd and watched as an Armadillo van emerged from the floor

Whilst Poppy and Branch were being introduced to Rhonda- you snuck aboard

Noticing a framed picture of you and JD by the bed, smiling slightly you picked it up and sat down on the bed- waiting for the group to board Rhonda

“All aboard who’s coming aboard!” JD yelled, hoping that you would pop out of the crowd and run aboard- sighing as he closed the door after Poppy and Branch

“Y/n?…”

You looked up to see the trio looking at you

You made direct eye contact with JD before standing up slowly and placing the photo down carefully

“Y/n… Im sorry- i shouldn’t have ignored you or left without saying goodbye, I was scared of my feelings towards you and- I just got so wrapped up in the band that I let what was essentially my image get in the way of… us. I understand if you don’t wan-“

He was cut off by you bursting into tears and running to him, wrapping your arms around him hiding your face in his chest- not wanting to look at him just yet

He let few tears escape after he buried his face into your hair and wrapped his arms around you- holding on to you like you were gonna disappear

Poppy was awing in the background

For the rest of the journey he was always sneaking glances at you

Making sure you were safe, wrapping his arm around you

Watching as you interacted with his brothers

Doesn’t want to admit the way he blushes when you hid behind him like the old days when you first got to where his brother Clay was staying

Catches you singing along with his parts during the performance at Bruce’s restaurant

He winks at you

Dances with you inside the diamond prison because you were put in the same one

Sings with you during the perfect family harmony, letting both your voices combine

Confesses in the moment before he goes up to sing with Branches band

Hears you scream “YEAH THATS MY BOYFRIEND!” And almost blinds the crowd with how bright his smile gets

Pulls you up on stage when branch pulls Poppy up- you both just enjoy yourself la during the Family song

He dips you in a kiss at the end

Messages From your Dreams ☁️🌌

This is a pick a card reading meant to give you insight about what your dreams are trying to tell you.

Paid Readings | Patreon | Tip Jar

Pile One

Possible things that you're seeing in your dreams: your mother or a maternal figure, disney characters, anger, rocks, forrests and other outdoor scenery, synchronicities involving the number five, trapped, grief, loss, being watched or you witnessing something, technology, leaves, falling, stork, music, weird symbols, premonitions, an account balance, an eclipse.

Your dreams are manifestations of guilt that you feel over something or someone that was lost. There's a need to stop trapping yourself with resentment over situations that were out of your control. "I could've done something"—"I could've done this"—"I could've done that". There's a specific case that I'm picking up where childhood wounds are resurfacing, maybe you had a parent that showed disdain for you instead of love and support, maybe you're thinking of all of the ways that you could've defended yourself from them, but your subconscious is urging you to release the anger that you feel. It's ok to be angry with what happened to you, but your anger is being misdirected. You're mirroring the same harshness that was inflicted onto you by becoming your own oppressor. It's time to take initiative for a new beginning for your healing by taking note of what was missing that you really needed growing up, and taking that Intel to reparent and nurture yourself. Use this self awareness and knowledge for breaking free from your pain, instead of using it for revenge. Justice will correct this situation faster when you release.

Pile Two

Possible things that you're seeing in your dreams: Luna moths, bodies of water, water running down the sink, random rays of light, deities (strongly picking up Aphrodite), cigarettes, fairies, slow motion, an ambush, space closing in on you, grandfather clock, delicate hands, someone gesturing you to come forward, someone offering you something, really long vines, or giant plants.

Your dreams are trying to convey to you that you need to pause before going forward with something. Maybe you're in a tight situation or running out of time with something so you're clinging to the first approaching opportunity that seems like a solution for you. Your dreams are trying to reassure to relax, that you're safe, and you have time. You could be overworking yourself or spending too much time looking at a screen and it's messing with your anxiety. Rest both your mind and your eyes by taking a much needed break, you've done enough, now let your higher power do their part by showing you that what's for you is not going to leave you hanging. They're also urging you to have more trust in your spiritual team. Free fall in your life with faith that your guides will catch you.

Pile Three

Possible things that you're seeing in your dreams: mermaids, sugar gliders, content creating (streaming), other fuzzy animals, yin/yang sign, black and white, skunk, Jupiter, Saturn, auras, village, fish, medieval environment (maybe a past life memory), new york, secret agent, armadillo, feathers.

Your dreams are trying to confirm your suspicions about someone or at least warning you about someone who is who they appear to be. You could be gaslighting yourself in fear of people gaslighting you if you spoke up to them about this person and what's been happening. But I'm feeling some frustration here that could be from your guides. They want you to stop going to other people for their discernment when yours is basically screaming at you but you're choosing not to listen because you don't want to be looked at as someone that's crazy or projecting. Trust your first impressions of people, because I'm feeling that you had it right the first time about a certain individual who's problematic and untrustworthy. There's deception around you, but it's coming mainly from yourself by choosing to avoid your intuition. You don't need confirmations or validations from a crowd. Allow this lesson to reveal to you on how much you haven't been putting yourself first, choose yourself without worrying about who stays or leaves.

Pile Four

Possible things that you're seeing in your dreams: rain, nebulae, masks, joker/trickster/fox/white rabbit/something that you're following around, orange juice, citrus fruits, bubbles, peaches, grapes, crystals, fossils, Mario coins, bees.

Your dreams are telling you that your efforts are not in vain and that it will pay off in the near future. Your hard work is going to bring in something abundant whether that be a breakthrough in your financial situation or recognition for something that you've been passionately investing in. You could be experiencing fatigue or burn-out but your dreams are symbolically representing something that will motivate you and reward you for your patience. It'll be a significant change that will make you have more gratitude in your life because what was troubling you before will not be troubling you now. Your dreams are also trying to evoke more confidence in your abilities to make stuff happen in your life which could look like, cultivating your ideas into something real, or getting back up on your feet again after something that knocked you down for the longest.

They were standing at the same place looking at the Lab as Jeb and Kiyoshi two years ago...

Jack: “Ji Ho, did you know that the nine-banded armadillo can hold its breath for about six minutes allowing it to walk underwater for short distances?” Ji Ho: “Really? Wow!” (They are so tense and anxious and Jack is doing his puppy strategy again to distract them and lighten up the mood. Even if he’s the most frightened himself. :,(

Vlad and Ji Ho are going to search the part of the lab where Jack and Sai were held captive. They won’t let them face this location again. It’s hard enough for them as it is.

It was even almost unbearable for Ji Ho and Vlad. Knowing what their friends had to endure here and the damage that they had taken that still affects their lifes.

Sai: “Jack, full concentration on your nose! Warn me as soon as you scent someone!” Jack: “Ok!”

But then Jack saw the name plate on the desk. ‘Ito K.’ Jack was paralyzed.

Kiyoshi. He had been here. Therefore he was so secretive all the time! He was not working against the council, he was working for the council! How could he have been so stupid and trusted him! Against all the alarm bells that were ringing inside his head! It would kill Saiwa if he ever finds out. He trusted Kiyoshi too. Oh gods and Ji Ho worshipped Kiyoshi, even Vlad liked him! How could they have been so blind! He can’t tell them, it would kill them. Jack needs to kill Kiyoshi before he ever comes near them again.

(Jack and the others don’t know the story of Kiyoshi and Dtui. And that the two were involved in their rescue two years ago.)

farmer joel snippet 04.

Written for Danktober 2022 Day 15: Edgeplay, Armadillo, & National Grouch Day.

Woo! this will be the last farmer Joel Miller snippet I post before the real story goes up. There ARE two more farmer Joel ONESHOTS coming soon (as soon as tomorrow!) but they exist outside of the timeline of the story, though within the same universe. I'm trying to keep them all fairly spoiler-free right now.

warnings for knives, no blood is drawn. implications of suicidal thoughts.

If not, oh well.

Enjoy!

[full danktober list here]

[farmer joel series masterlist here]

"I can't do this."

"Yes, you can."

"You're so much bigger than me, it's not f—"

Joel fixed you with a look and crossed his arms in a truly unfair way that made him look even more broad than normal. You mirrored him, the end of the training knife poking uncomfortably into your armpit. The handle was wrapped in goatskin, the way all the other knives and tools he had were. This one was whittled from a piece of dark stained hardwood, just for you and just your size.

Just your size, that meaning: impossible to imagine using to defend yourself with.

"How in the hell did you survive this long without knowing how to use a knife?"

"I used a gun," you deadpanned. He rolled his eyes. "I've been out of the game a long time, okay? Since the world started to—"

"Enough."

"I said I was sorry about what happened, alright? I don't know how to tell you I won't leave the glade again." Your eyes met your feet, surrounded by soft green grass and the safety of whatever blessing kept this patch of land holy.

Joel's feet joined yours, stepping up close and taking your chin in his hand, tilting your gaze up to his. The expression he held was frighteningly deep, like those pictures of people diving over top of great holes in the earth, just one lapse in luck between them and hell itself. His eyes were dark on a good day, by emotion or by tricks of the light, but now, they held something like fear in the abyss of his irises.

"If you're hurt out here on my watch, I'm never going to forgive myself, sweet thing."

It made your chest ache to hear the confession. Just a few weeks ago, he wouldn't have told you his damn birthday if you'd carved it out of him, and now, you were his sweet thing. His hand opened a little flatter and slid around to the back of your head, pulling you into his chest. The second you were secure against him, he took a deep breath, like he'd been missing a lung in the form of you until he held you close.

"I won't get hurt if I stay in the glade."

"The boundaries of the glade only protect you from that thing, sweetheart. It don't protect you from any of the other monsters out there wantin' to come in."

You remembered cruel, cruel laughter. You remembered a pinch in your neck. You remembered hands tying you to a tree, and the hot wet scrape of skin and blood as you fought for your escape. You wondered if you were still somehow tied to that bloody tree, the slack on the rope just moments away from reeling you back to the teeth.

"Sides," Joel said, kissing your head. "I believe in an after, now. There's gonna be a time where we won't even need the glade to keep you safe, and we won't need a single bullet or blade to feel safe again."

He shuddered out this last confession, whispered it to your hair. What kind of man would whisper hope like a secret, but love like it was any different?

"Okay," you whispered into his chest, and he pulled you to the ground with him.

He faced the house, back to the forest. No use making you more afraid than you were.

"You know what this part's called?" he said, pulling your attention back to where he was holding up his own knife. It was shiny, sharpened to deadliness. There was no point in anything duller, or at least there didn't used to be.

"What part?" you mumbled, distracted by the tiny scars and never-healed bruises on his hands. His hands fascinated you to no end, strong as they were and intensely capable in all areas you'd seen them work.

One of those hands reached up and flicked your nose, making you flinch and huff.

"Horny little thing, pay attention."

You grumbled but nodded, shifting your attention to the weapon he held so confidently in his fingers. How could the point stay outside of his skin and not—oh, his fingers are just that callused up. He pointed to the flat edge of the knife, opposite the bladed edge. "What's that called, sugar?"

"Useless?" you said with a scoff.

"Cheeky," he scoffed right back, nipping you on your ear and pinching the tip of the blade in his fingers so he could take your hand and run it along the flat edge you'd just insulted. "This is called the spine."

"Books got spines. Don't mean they're useful on a knife."

"Will you always be difficult, or do I gotta take you over my knee?"

"We could find out…" you grinned, but turned back to his lesson after getting a goodnatured eyeroll.

"The spine and the handle are the only places you should ever try and touch with your bare hands."

"But you're touching them with your bare hands," you pointed out.

"You know daddy's got rules for you that he don't have to follow."

Your face flushed a deep color and nodded your understanding. "Only the spine and the handle."

"Good girl." He kissed the shell of your ear and moved your touch to where the knife started to swoop down into the slightly-hooked end of the blade. He had you touch the flatter side of the blade, and not where it had been ground into a second edge. "This is the swedge. It's there to help the point pierce easier into whatever you're stabbing."

"Less surface area," you murmured, getting another kiss to your ear as a reward.

"That's right. Now here's the grind line… don't wanna get it too far up or you'll lose the integrity of the blade. And I don't make myself out to be a forgemaster, so you gotta take care when you're whettin' it."

"Are you gonna show me how to do that?"

"Eventually. When I know you won't kill yourself tryna save yourself."

You huffed. He had such an opinion about your abilities, as if you weren't right there in his arms, having survived much of the same apocalypse as him, just on the other side of the country for the most part. "Just because I don't know how to use this weapon don't mean—"

"Did you know seventy percent of knife wounds, even before the outbreak, were fatal?"

He presents that fact to you calmly, like you were supposed to just absorb that.

"No, I didn't," you said, waiting for his point.

"Guns and bows and Molotovs and bombs, I've seen some lucky fuckers survive gettin' hit with. I've never met anyone get stabbed and come out of it the same way. Half the time it was their own damn fault, no fight about it. Shit, I was near-killed after gettin' impaled by rebar couple years back and that's close enough to a stab wound I still feel it sometimes."

Couple years back.

Joel didn't talk much about what he was doing right at the end of the end as some came to call it. It was a sensitive subject to him, anything from five years ago to now. Everything about him made you curious, but you knew there was nothing about you that could coax him into answering your questions about his past.

"I understand, Joel," you said softly. "I'll be careful."

"I know you will," Joel said in your ear.

The afternoon passed in calm instruction, words like choil and ricasso and tang passing from his lips to your ears as the breeze whistled through the trees. He quizzed you lightly, before moving on.

"I'm gonna show you two holds."

"Can—?" you cut yourself off, pulling your hands back toward your chest. His descriptions of the knife, stationary and deadly, had filled you with a healthy distrust of not only the knife but in your own coordination. You'd gotten soft, you knew that, and there was nothing you wanted less than to see that wild look of fear he'd fixed you with when he admitted he couldn't lose you.

"What is it?" he murmured, holding still.

"Can we use the training one? With the armadillo?"

He'd been halfway through the affirmative before your second sentence made him halt. "The what?"

"You carved it in here—arma… Oh that's not armadillo."

You felt him laughing before you heard him. "Amarillo." He threw his head back and laughed, squeezing his arms around your middle and pulling you closer, though you squirmed at being laughed at. You enjoyed the sound of his laughter much more than you valued your pride, anyway.

"You gotta work on your penmansh—knifemanship, Joel."

"Armadillo," he muttered to himself, shaking his head and starting up his laughter all over again. "You're somethin' else, sugar." He kissed the back of your head, and you were half-tempted to throw your head back and break his nose. You told him as such. "Oh, don't be a grouch," he chuckled.

"That's rich, coming from the biggest grouch I've ever met."

You tried holding onto your annoyance. But then he was smiling against your ear and breathing softly as his laughs died down.

"What'd you put Amarillo on the knife handle for?" you said, leaning back to look up at him. Though the trace of his smile still remained on his lips, his eyes started carrying sad, heavy clouds in them.

"It's a silly reason."

"Well, I like silly." You kissed his jaw, right over where the grays collected thickest.

"That you do." He stroked a hand down the back of your head. "I had a lot of dreams way back. Wanted to take a great big road trip along Route 66, just me and… Well. I wanted to take a roadtrip. See America, maybe go down to Mexico or up through Canada if I could. Sorta did, trekkin' from Boston to Seattle and back through the Cascades, damn."

"Did you go through Amarillo?"

"I did not."

"Oh," you looked down at the training knife, running your thumb over the deep gouges of letters he'd carved into the handle.

"Wanted to, though. Lotta museums out there, state park called Palo Duro. They had this… this crazy thing, called it Cadillac Ranch."

"Like the car?" you said, recognizing the name.

"One and the same. Someone, god knows who, they stuck about a dozen cars into the ground, looked like them carrots over there. Just like they sprouted up outta the ground, wheels and all."

"Why would they do that?!" you giggled.

"Artists, sweet thing. Sometimes that's the only answer you can give. Artists did that because artists did that."

"Like that stupid bean thing," you huffed.

"You've been to Chicago?" Joel said, his melancholy passing on.

"Few times, the QZ was pretty difficult to stay in but I had friends there. Then one day I didn't, and… suppose I took my own road trip after that."

He didn't offer any apologies, any condolences. You would've hit him for real if he had. But he knew the manners of the world, he knew the way things were.

"So I… after I… not too long ago, I started thinking of all the things I hadn't done. Places I never went, places that weren't really worth going to no more. Just dreams that I couldn't let go of without feeling…"

"Empty?" you supplied, knowing the feeling.

"Yeah…" he sighed, his hands twitching a little around you. "But one day, I was tryna fix up those shutters on the second floor. Kept fucking em up left and right,. I was too distracted by memories, by those dreams. I started letting myself focus on them instead of pushing them away, thought about the plans I had to go walk through Redwood National Forest in California. Go see where those little alien bears were, go see where… just to be there at the space between the mountains and the sea. I knew the dream was gone when I heard the news of Big Sur turnin' to ash. When I looked up again, the shutters were all fixed, better'n I think I coulda done it if I tried. At the end of it, I carved a little RNF in the corners, hung em up, they ain't failed me since."

"You put your dreams into em?" you said, looking up at him with a look you hoped he didn't misinterpret as pity or sympathy. It wasn't often he spoke this much.

He looked surprised, when you spoke. Like he had somehow forgotten he was speaking to someone. "I suppose so."

"And you were thinking about all those cars in the desert when you carved this?"

"I admit I was." He smiled at you, some sadness still darkening the lines about his eyes.

You thought quietly about what he said, and he seemed to think just as quietly on something else just as heavy and dark. You knew there was… something that had happened, right at the end of the outbreak. Some harrowing, bring-you-to-your-knees type event in his life that almost marked the very end of it. To hear of his dreams being carved into a million little headstones of the life he once had sparked a kind of alarm in your mind, something that told you with no proof, when the dreams run out, so will Joel.

"Can you promise me something, Joel?"

"Sweetheart, you know I can't—"

"It's not… it's nothing bad."

"I don't wanna promise what I can't keep."

"That's just it. Can you promise to keep… keep whatever dream you have of me, in you and not the things you fix and make? Please just keep holding onto it, whatever it is?" You didn't often express your nerves and dread and hopelessness over your fate being tied to that of the monster watching in the woods, but if Joel had to put his lost dreams to rest in things that could burn or rot, you wanted to rot with him, you wanted your memory to stay with him in his heart, not his hands.

You knew in that same innate way of the seriousness of his confessions that if he let your dreams and memory get drained into some carving, the next thing to get carved would be his neck. There was a very thin and fine line tethering him to this earth, fraying with every pass of a chisel or a knife.

Joel seemed to know that you knew his plan. His eyes shone with a mist he didn't dare let collect, blinking a few times and looking all over your face. He knew what you were asking. He was the only one who could know.

"Okay."

"Do you swear?"

Another time, another place, another girl asking him the same thing, Joel Miller would have lied.

"I swear."

"Okay."

It's back: Sparktober Bingo! 🥳

Like last year, I collected a bunch of 2022 -tober prompt lists into one google doc here. (Links to original prompt lists, where you'll find their hashtags and AO3 collections, are on the google doc! The prompt lists are top-notch this year so I highly recommend checking out the originals.)

Add in a list of Atlantis episodes, crank up the soft-serve machine, and…

How to Play:

Choose a mix of “flavors” from the prompt sets below the cut, then paste it into this fandom bingo card generator.

Adjust your browser size til it looks right and take a screenshot!

Sparktober Bingo Rules: (there are no rules)

Complete a row/column, corners, or a blackout of your card by November 1, or not! Update as you go. Spontaneously declare victory whenever you feel accomplished.

Tag #sparktober if you want us to reblog your bingo card & creations!

All fan-works are allowed: art, edits, fic, meta...

You are allowed to pull multiple cards until you get one that inspires you, and you can also edit the prompt list as much as you want in advance to suit your likes and dislikes. I recommend not googling unfamiliar words from your work computer.

Because we are sourcing from multiple lists, prompts may be duplicated and occur more than once. If you get the same prompt twice in the same card, you're legally obligated to fill it. (definitely kidding)

Use the prompts liberally! Episode titles can be treated as the episode or as generic prompts (e.g. “Epiphany” can be for an episode-related fic or a prompt for an epiphany of your choice).

Flavor descriptions:

The prompt lists are below, in the following text blocks. Copy any or all of them into the bingo card generator!

VANILLA: Gen prompt lists from Fictober, Inktober, Flufftober Trektober Gen, Trektober Trek, and Spirktober.

CHOCOLATE: Smut themed prompt lists from Trektober NSFW and two Kinktober lists (links in google doc!).

ROCKY ROAD: Whump prompts from whumptober! The multiple-choice-prompts-per-day have been broken into individual prompts.

Volume One, Episode Nine: “Favorites”

Series: SCWR Rating: PG-13 (Foul Language, Minor Violence, and Subtle Themes) Summary: (3,391 words) “As Security’s investigation into Gae starts getting serious, they notice that they’ve fallen behind their peers. With the Vytal Festival only a few weeks away, Stark agrees to help out with some off-the-books training... However, when only one of the teams gets in trouble, things get a little tense.”

Read on Wattpad

After Team Security's jaunt in Wonderland, they worked out a deal with Checkers. If he happened across any more information about Diana Gae, he'd get in contact with them and they'd trade. Over the course of the next few weeks, they'd learned a few things.

First of all, she worked out of somewhere in the Industrial District. Whenever Checkers received any tips about her, she was always spotted in or near the district. However, it didn't seem like her fights were taking place in the city. Second, she had contacts everywhere. He warned them that she had eyes and ears all over the city and that if they wanted to keep tabs on her, they would need to be cautious. The last thing was her semblance. She rarely fights, but when she does, she seems to always win. Checkers determined that her semblance is pheromones, and she can influence any person just by being near them.

Of course, that also meant that Haddy had to tell the feral his secrets. For one reason or another, Checkers seemed interested in him; which was probably a bad thing. It did mean that he'd accept information easily obtainable to SCWR... and plenty of their lien. Thankfully, Monroe, Robyn, and Ryder agreed to pool their money for the investigation. There was one problem though.

The school didn't want them to have any affiliation with the official police inquiry. Ozpin was afraid that Monroe and the R's had already been scarred enough by the loss of Peri and forbade them from doing anything more than providing statements. Which meant that they had to be very careful who they told and who they let help.

Unfortunately, they'd hit a dead end. Monroe had composed a decent profile for this Diana Gae woman, and the team had already investigated every lead they'd gotten from Checkers. Which meant all they could do was wait for him to sniff out something more... of course, that wasn't important at the moment.

The Vytal festival was only two weeks away. With their investigation and personal lives-- i.e. Haddy's part-time job-- Security was falling behind some of their peers. After much debate, Monroe reluctantly asked Stark for assistance. Which is why they were here.

"Hand-to-hand combat takes skill," Tai started, pacing the line of students with his hands clasped behind his back, "Anyone can swing a sword and draw blood, but to take down an opponent with just your body takes training."

It was a Sunday, so they wouldn't be missed in their dorms despite the lowering sun. The teams were gathered in the mountainous forest behind Beacon. Team SCWR was sitting cross-legged on the ground as they watched Tai walk back and forth with the rest of STRQ standing behind him, grinning. Suddenly the blond stopped and whipped his finger around in line with Ryder. The armadillo swallowed hard.

"Ryder!" Tai exclaimed, "You and Summer, let's go."

His yellow eyes ran across the tiny girl in the white hood and he opened his mouth to protest, but was cut off by Summer herself, "It's okay, Ryder."

Reluctantly, the brutish faunus conceded. He took one last look at his team before standing up and joining Summer. The rest of her team stepped back, giving them plenty of room for their spar. Ryder took up a semi-relaxed stance-- not because he doubted her skills, mostly because of his own-- one hand raised to attack and one lowered to his side for defense as he bounced on his toes. His ombre-haired opponent simply stood with her body hidden within her cloak, the only thing visible was a smile on her lips.

Suddenly, Tai whistled, signaling the start of their match. Before the sound had even finished echoing through the blond's teeth, Summer had cleared all the distance between her and Ryder. The dark-skinned faunus hardly even had time to register as she hunkered down and aimed for a powerful gut punch. He twisted on his hip to avoid the strike but caught Summer's mischievous grin as her hood fell back and her face came by his chest.

As she whipped around and tried to backhand him with the same arm, Ryder jumped back, trying to get some distance for a semblance-enhanced attack. Quickly, he summoned up his sonic power into the sole of his boot as he hurled himself and tried to smack his foot down onto the white-cloaked leader's shoulder. She nimbly avoided the pummeling kick as she dropped said shoulder and almost seemed to dance out of the way, leaving a small crater where Ryder's boot landed.

Ryder was ready though as he used one hand to try to chop down with the same force, creating a loud boom of sound that shook the trees. However, Summer simply jumped back on one foot. Again, the faunus used his power to try to smack her out of the air with his other arm. With a smile, she rolled in the air, easily avoiding the strike once more as she twirled around.

This time she attacked. Using her momentum from the spin, Summer took the top of her foot and connected it with Ryder's blocking arm with enough force to break his defense. Before he could recover, she used her other leg and continued spinning to kick him in the chest, staggering him. With a giggle-- and still without touching the ground-- she pushed off of him with her legs, giving him plenty of space.

Ryder shook his head and summoned up his semblance into his hands again, rushing forward and diminishing the space between them in a fraction of a second. With his opponent being so much smaller than him, he aimed one last, resounding, sonic punch down at her chest.

Everyone watched in slow motion as Summer twisted around the punch, grabbing Ryder's wrist as it passed. She used the force of his blow to pin his arm between hers and her side. She twirled up in a backwards cartwheel using only the armadillo's wrist as support and landed a solid kick right across his jaw. Ryder fell with the toe of Summer's boot-- dazed and concussed-- to the ground where the dark-haired girl easily pinned him with his arm in the air behind his back. She had one foot planted firmly at the base of his shoulder and the other behind his head.

Again, Tai whistled as Summer let go of the once hulking figure of Ryder. She knelt down to help him up as Haddy, Monroe, and Robyn stared in disbelief with their shoulders dropped and jaws slack.

As the dark-skinned faunus was deposited back with his team, Tai turned and explained, "That was a good use of your semblance. Putting power behind your blows is a good way to beat down a foe; but, against an opponent as nimble as Summer... it was your downfall."

He frowned as he looked over the rest of Security before he instructed, "Let's split off into pairs for some one-on-one training." Tai paused before laxly pointing to the redhead, "Since Summer is our weakest hand-to-hand combatant, I want her and Robyn together."

The entirety of Team SCWR exchanged a dumbfounded, wide-eyed look, before Robyn suddenly exclaimed, "Hey! What's that supposed to mean!?"

Before she could complain more, the blond continued, "Let's have Qrow and Ryder together. You both seem to have a more brawler approach." The black-haired pair nodded to each other.

"Hmm... how about Raven and Cade," he smiled devilishly as both girls began to glower at one another, "Because, by the Brothers, no one could stand that much aggression and sexual tension. Plus, it'd be funny."

"Oh, ha ha," Raven sarcastically growled, crossing her arms.

"Which means..." Tai started, turning his attention away from Raven and down to Haddy, "You and me, big boy."

If Hadrian had any less self-control, he would have whimpered.

Everyone broke off into their groups, albeit somewhat reluctantly on Security's part. He was already regretting convincing Monroe this would be a good idea. The husky followed behind as Tai led him along. Once they'd gotten a fair ways away, the blond turned to him with a smile. When he saw Haddy's tail resting between his knees, he pouted.

"What's wrong, man?" he asked.

The husky faunus rubbed the back of his neck and sighed, "C'mon. You're easily the best hand-to-hand fighter in school; teachers included. I don't stand a chance against you."

Tai crossed his arms as he continued to pout and raised a brow. He walked up to Haddy and remarked, "You can't think like that."

"I know I shouldn't, but--" he started.

However, the blond quickly cut in, "No. You can't."

When the husky only looked at him confused, Tai sighed. He loosened his arms and interlaced his fingers behind his head, explaining, "It's something Summer once told me that Ozpin told her. 'Being a team leader isn't just a title you carry into battle; but, a badge you wear constantly. If you are not always performing at your absolute best, then what reason do you give others to follow you?'."

As he finished, Tai put a hand on his shoulder and smiled, "Being a leader is hard, and comes with too many responsibilities to count; as I'm sure you already know. Being an example to your team is just one of them, but if you ask me... it's the most important."

He was right, and Haddy knew it. It wasn't just their fight capabilities that made STRQ the best, it was their ability to inspire others and take time out of their own schedules to help them. They were so kind and generous, even when teaching SCWR and training them for the festival could backfire on them in the long run.

So he smiled, changing his attitude as he elbowed Tai in the ribs and said, "Alright then. Prepare to be knocked on your ass."

That got the blond laughing as he lowered his arms and readied himself. "Better be able to back those words up."

Hadrian followed suit, raising his arms up defensively, never losing his smile. Before they started, the husky said, "Thanks, man. For everything."

"Of course," Tai replied, signaling Haddy to come at him.

The husky steeled himself and charged forward, clenching his fist into an overhand punch towards the blond's face. Tai simply moved his head to the side, hardly shifting his body or toothy smile. As his hand fell down, Hadrian immediately brought it back up to try to backhand his opponent's cheek. However, Tai ducked just as the swing passed over his blond locks.

It was at that point Haddy noticed the blond's hands were resting in the small of his back. He frowned as he shifted into position to give an uppercut into the underside of Tai's chin. Again, he simply moved back, avoiding the swing entirely. This time, before the husky could recover, Tai laughed as he swung his head forward. Their foreheads collided, sending Hadrian stumbling backwards as stars danced in his eye.

This wasn't going to work. He rubbed his forehead and adjusted his headband before changing up his tactics. This time when the husky rushed forward, he leapt into the air and aimed a roundhouse kick at Tai's jaw. Predictably, the blond ducked under his boot. Before he landed, Hadrian swung his other leg around lower, once again missing as Tai widened his stance and further lowered himself to the ground.

As Hadrian bounced onto the ground, he took a half step back. He used the distance to gather momentum into a punch aimed at Tai's face. This time, the blond used his palm to deflect the attack. However, that wasn't Haddy's true intent. He knelt down, using his semblance to whip around as he landed the heel of his foot into the side of the blond's knee. He expected Tai to crumple, but he hardly even flinched.

He didn't have time to recover as Tai chuckled and pulled back his arm for a direct punch into the bridge of Haddy's nose. The faunus's eyes widened before snapping shut.

Before he could land it though, an angry shout rang through the woods. "Mr. Xiao Long!"

Tai's knuckles froze only an inch from Hadrian's eyes, which he gingerly peeked open. Everyone paused and slowly turned to see several teachers trudging through the woods towards them, all with an irate swagger. Professor Cray stomped up to the boys as he pushed them apart with a furious pout on his face.

"I cannot believe that you kids are out here pounding each other into a bloody pulp!" The rainbow-hued teacher continued.

Hadrian took the opportunity to look around. Summer was on Robyn's shoulders with her legs wrapped around the redhead's neck. Qrow and Ryder had already recovered from their fight and were standing off to the side with their hands clasped in front of themselves, trying to look innocent. However, that notion would have been thrown out the window when they saw Raven and Monroe currently in a clump of limbs, pinning each other down as they pulled each other's hair... still fighting.

Professor Cray sighed heavily and rubbed the bridge of his nose as the other teachers-- Mrs. Heather and her teaching assistant, Mr. Port-- moved to break up the remaining fight.

As Summer quickly climbed down from on top of Robyn, and the other girls were pulled apart, Qrow piped up, "Well, technically we were just sparring..."

The pink-haired teacher sighed again, still pinching his nose as he stated, "Which you all should know is against the rules!" He paused to look at all of them before adding, "You know sparring without supervision isn't allowed!"

As the students were gathered into a group, they were all looking down at the ground. Before Mr. Cray could tear into them anymore, another voice spoke up, "This simply won't do..."

The smell of coffee and freshly cut mint could only mean one thing.

Everyone turned to see the headmaster of Beacon Academy pushing a branch out of his way with his cane as his loyal assistant followed behind. Once Professor Ozpin finished his approach, he looked over each one of his students. When his eyes fell on Haddy, the husky could almost see the disappointment in his hazel brown irises.

He paused to look at them all as a group before continuing, "Ms. Rose, you and your team will meet me in my office in an hour. Until then, you are dismissed."

All the students exchanged a quick, lowered glance before the members of Stark scampered off back towards the school, eager to get away from the scrutiny of the young Professor. When they were safely out of earshot, the Headmaster returned his attention to the remaining four in front of him. He again looked at each of them before coming to a decision.

"I am very disappointed in all of you..." Ozpin started, "I think it goes without saying that you will all be punished for these actions... For the time being, you will not be permitted to leave the school grounds for reasons other than work or school activities, and you won't do so without explicit supervision."

With bowed heads, Team SCWR replied solemnly together, "Yes sir, Professor Ozpin..."

"You're dismissed," the Headmaster replied, turning to his assistant.

As the team started their hike back to school, they were silent. When they got out of earshot though, Robyn grumbled, "This is so annoying."

"Yeah, well, it could be worse..." Haddy replied, trying to lighten the mood.

Monroe's scroll dinged as they continued walking. She pulled it out and checked the message. When she stopped dead, the rest of the group waited for her.

She harshly sighed, "Things just got worse." She paused, flipping her scroll around so that everyone could see, before clarifying, "Checkers just got more info on Gae."

"Damnit."

The next day at breakfast, the team sat around scheming. With new information available to them, they could continue their investigation from its dead stop; but with no way to get down to Wonderland, they might as well never learn what Checkers had to offer. They'd stayed up late into the morning trying to come up with a plan, but it hadn't gotten them anywhere.

As Robyn pushed her eggs around with her fork, she mumbled, "Maybe if we offer to pay him double, he'll come up here to do the trade."

"Checkers already made it clear that he wanted nothing to do with the campus," Haddy sighed, running his hands through his hair.

"Ughhhhhh!" the redhead groaned, pushing away her plate as she leaned back dramatically.

Beside her, Monroe complained, "I wish he'd just let us do this over the phone... paranoid bastard..." Ryder nodded in agreement.

As they continued to brainstorm, Summer and the rest of STRQ waved at them as they approached with their breakfast trays. Quickly, the conversation ceased as the other team sat down beside them. Haddy raised an eyebrow when he noticed how chipper everyone was.

"Morning," Qrow chirped, digging into his pancakes.

His sister gave them all an appraising glare before remarking, "You guys look like shit."

"We feel like shit!" Robyn exclaimed, leaning forward onto the table with her chin resting on her crossed arms.

"Is everything okay?" Summer asked.

The rest of her team set down their eating utensils as they turned to their friends. Haddy rubbed the back of his neck and said, "Yeah, we just had plans to go down to Vale today..."

There was a pause before Tai slowly asked, "Okay, and...? Do you guys need airfare money or something?"

Monroe and Haddy exchanged a look before he replied, "Uh, no? We aren't allowed off the school grounds?"

"What? Why?" Qrow asked, bewildered.

Monroe paused, again looking over her team before answering, "Because of the sparring match? Ozpin is punishing us? What did he make you guys do?"

This time it was STRQ who turned to one another, before Summer answered, "Nothing. He just told us not to do it again?"

"What!?" the entirety of Security yelled in unison, causing heads to turn in their direction for a brief moment.

Haddy sat there completely in disbelief. He knew that Team Stark was Ozpin's favorite team, but this was ridiculous. There was no way that any of this would have flown back in Atlas, no matter how much the Headmaster hated his team's guts... and Beacon was supposed to be the more progressive of the two schools!

Robyn stood up, throwing her arms out as she exclaimed, "That's so unfair!"

"No kidding," Tai said, "Do you want us to go talk to him? See if we can get this sorted out?"

Monroe pushed her tray away angrily as she harshly replied, "Oh sure, go use more of your favors to pity us."

No one said anything for a long time. However, after the pause, Summer quietly said, "We didn't know this was going to happen... or that this was the way that things would pan out... we just wanna help..."

This wasn't right. Ozpin wasn't right. But, it wasn't Stark's fault. Sure, he was pissed, but that didn't mean that they had to take it out on their friends.

Haddy stood up, drawing attention to himself as he walked over to Summer. He put a hand on the pale-skinned girl's shoulder, replying, "It's okay, Summer." He looked to the rest of her team and continued, "It's not your fault. We're just peeved. You did us a solid by helping out with training, I'm glad that you didn't get in trouble for something we asked you to do."

When he looked out to the rest of his team, he could still see that they were angry, but they'd realized what he said was true. Ryder sighed and nodded along with every word he'd said. Monroe shook her head as Robyn fell down into her seat with her arms crossed.

Beside him, Qrow stood up, rubbing the back of his neck as he put a hand on Haddy's shoulder and sighed, "Man, if there is anything we can do to make things right between us, just ask and it's done."

The husky's mind was drawn back to their information-related predicament as he replied, "Well... there is one thing you could do for us..."

Immediately, Monroe cut her hand across her throat, signaling him to shut up. However, he only looked at her and said, "C'mon. They helped us when we asked and we know they aren't gonna get in trouble with Ozpin if they're caught..." he paused before adding, "They're our friends."

After a moment of consideration, Monroe sighed and turned to Summer. She reluctantly asked, "Have you ever heard of a bar called Wonderland?"

Armadillo holes

If you see them during daylight hours, it means you have a lot of rats on the premises. Rats are secretive and rarely seen during the day. Holes tend to be 2-3 inches wide and smooth from repeated use. Populations can get quite high, >30 per acre. Look for grooves in the grass where they travel between holes.ĭen entrance is 2-3 inches wide and 3-4 inches long. They are easily seen on warm, sunny days. There may be another hole of similar size within 20 feet. Vantassel.Ĭrayfish can burrow 2 inch wide holes into the lawn. Chipmunks are easily seen during the day. Note the shiny quarter to the left of the hole. Holes tend to be cleanly dug and silver dollar sized. What is the diameter of hole? 3 inches or less? Does the hole end or extend into a burrow? If there is no hole and just a groove present, consider Armadillos. If you are dealing with divots in the soil then click here.

When dealing with moles, the best solution for control is using lethal traps. “Once trapped, armadillos should be humanely euthanized.”Īrmstrong warns that because armadillos are an invasive species, they should not be relocated to another area. “Homeowners can trap armadillos using a cage and a barrier of boards to help guide them into the mouth of the trap,” Armstrong said. Sometimes, using lethal traps and measures is needed to control some animals, such as armadillos and moles. This will make it near impossible for animals to get through. “If the mesh does not work, adding chicken wire around the fence will provide more deterrence.”Īrmstrong recommends if you are using a fence to exclude digging or burrowing animals, the fence should be buried at least 10 inches into the ground to discourage the animal from digging under the fence. “Mesh fencing is the best option for homeowners,” Armstrong said. Installing a fence around your home is a cost effective way to control these pests. There are several options homeowners can use to control digging animals. However, the tunneling activities of moles may disfigure lawns and gardens.” “In fact, they may benefit these plants by feeding on grubs and worms that can damage them. “Contrary to popular belief, moles do not eat the roots and bulbs of flowers and vegetables,” Armstrong said. In fact, if it wasn’t for these tunnels, many might consider moles beneficial to homeowners. These tunnels form ridges in the soil, which can lead to a fairly unattractive yard.

Rise of the Wisps Part 1

Orbot paced about the room–Metal Sonic would be here any minute now, and he was not looking forward to having his superior silently staring down at him. The fur on the back of his neck stood on end, and the armadillo put his hands together, attempting to still his quaking. Dr Eggman had originally been overseeing the project, but since the blunderbots were prone to taking too many breaks instead of remaining hard at work, he had decided to put Metal Sonic in charge of them, which was a terrifying prospect of itself. Orbot’s dear companion, Cubot, wasn’t as comforting as usual, mostly since one of the crates containing multiple Wisp containers had nailed him in the head, and promptly caused his voice chip to become discombobulated. Because of that, well, he wasn’t really speaking at all, and when he was …

“ROCKET!” Cubot boomed, throwing his hand out to catch a tumbling Wisp container that he’d clumsily dropped from his stacked pile. Orbot jumped, and proceeded sigh, shoulders slumping as he walked over to grab his own sets of containers, and bring them over to the nearby Drainer.

“Cubot, can you please be careful? Metal Sonic is on his way, and the Boss already knows we’ve been lazing about… we have to at least appear good at our jobs.” A bit of a smirk from the armadillo, and Cubot turned his head to give a thumbsup. “We really need to do something about your voice chip, pal. It’s no fun carrying a conversation by myse–”

And just then, the exit opened up, revealing Metal Sonic as he stepped into the room, red eyes piercing the dim lighting of the room. Orbot and Cubot immediately stood at attention, saluting their superior officer and looking as professional as possible… until it seemed a good amount of time to set at ease. Metal Sonic wasn’t that talkative, so it was better to try and… figure out what he wanted rather than wait for him to say anything.

“Metal Sonic, Sir! What a–”

“GOOD! GREAT!! AWESOME!!!”

Orbot glared at his companion, elbowing him in the side before turning back to Metal, hands clasped together eagerly, “–Honor it is to work with an–”

“OUTSTANDING!!!!!”

Oh for the love of– “Marvel of engineering such as yourse–”

“AMAZING!!!!!!!!!”

With a kick to the back of the leg, causing Cubot to wobble and nearly lose his balance, Orbot turned to Metal once more and put a hand over the Labrador’s mouth, sighing loudly, “Pay him no mind. His voice chip has been on the fritz, you see.”

Cubot whined out a pathetic “ROCKET!” from behind Orbot’s hands, and the armadillo groaned, rubbing his temples. Okay, back to business. Metal Sonic was already ignoring the both of them, walking to the nearest capsules and examining them. Orbot was quick to remain by his side, ears lifting up. “Now, is there anything we can do to make your time with us more pleasant?”

Those piercing red eyes flashed as the blue robot barely turned to face Orbot, and the armadillo felt a chill of pure dread race down his spine. He let out a little nervous laugh, hands squeezing tightly together as he backed up, bumping into Cubot’s front, “Ah, yes, of course! Our jobs…” So much for more breaks. There’s no way Metal Sonic would allow them time to goof off, “We’ve just got to get these Wisps,” he gestures to the seemingly endless piles and crates of the critters, careful to keep his tone friendly and welcoming, “processed and shipped out across the planet.”

Dr Eggman’s stern words rang in Orbot’s mind, his ears stinging with memory from when the egg-shaped scientist had grabbed them and hoisted him up by them. “And Eggman asked very sternly that we not do it like complete…” he made quotation marks with his fingers, allowing just a bit of his restrained resentment to seep out, “bumbling imbeciles.”

Metal Sonic didn’t seem all that impressed. Actually, he didn’t seem like he had any expression at all, considering he had zero facial emotion to begin with. No mouth, only evil eyes. With the lack of feedback, Orbot bowed low, smiled nervously and gave a thumbsup, before slapping a hand to Cubot’s back and pushing him to another part of the room… To work, to work!

As the two started picking up capsules, Orbot noticed that Metal Sonic had followed them over, and he attempted to remain friendly. Both Cubot and Metal were unable to talk, which made Orbot self conscious about how much he was speaking, and then, well. It was leading him to just talking from a stream of consciousness sort of way, “but don’t you worry–Big bro!–Can I call you big bro?”

Oh no, why did he say that? Metal Sonic was going to eviscerate him. Or maybe it would endear the superior robot to Orbot and Cubot, and like his namesake, he’d want to look out for the two Robians. Protect them! … Not bloody likely. The lack of response of any kind had Orbot immediately speaking again.

“–Anyway, we aren’t bumbling at all! Are we, Cubot?” He’d turned to his companion, who despite being bigger than both of them, was struggling to carry the five or six capsules he’d decided he could totally handle, and they were bouncing around in his arms… CRASH!!!

This was clearly all the evidence Metal Sonic needed, as he immediately took both of Orbot’s capsules from him, turned, and proceeded to head towards the Drainer, with Orbot wincing and walking after him, whimpering as he tried to think of something to say. This was definitely going to get them scolded by Dr Eggman, for sure.

While the three worked, they weren’t paying attention to the secret Wisp Mission happening behind them, with Wisps being freed from their capsules left and right. It wasn’t until a Jade Wisp flew through Cubot that things started to get interesting. His body turned green and became translucent, and the capsules he’d been carrying smashed on the ground, freeing the Wisps trapped inside, much to Cubot’s absolute bewilderment. He was trying to recapture the Wisps, but they were too slippery for the big badnik.

Orbot, who’d been attempting to make sure everything would run smoother from here out, put his hands on his haunches and glared at the Labrador, “Honestly… What did I JUST say about bumbling?” Cubot wanted to whine, but nothing came out of his throat, and so his tail hung between his legs and his ears drooped lower, shoulders sagging. Just then, more Wisps began to fly around the room, escaping out the exit–Orbot and Cubot had to move fast to try to capture them all. Jumping and running to and fro, grabbing as many as they could as Metal Sonic joined in the hunt.

Things were going well, but Cubot bumbled into Orbot, and all the progress they’d made was for nothing–there go all the Wisps they’d just caught! Luckily, Metal Sonic had captured the defacto leaders of the Wisp Resistance, even as they used their abilities against him, he was much stronger than they were.

Still, quite a few Wisps had escaped, and that meant bad news for Orbot and Cubot. Their heads hung as they bowed low to Metal, who walked past them without so much as a glare. Inserting the re-captured Wisps into the Drainer, he mercilessly stole their Energy from them, transforming them into Void Wisps, purple and zombie-like husks.

It seemed that Metal Sonic would be accompanying the blunderbots across Sweet Mountain, to ensure that their jobs were done properly.
