Mayor Gaston Temasong: I'm delighted to meet you, Your Imperial Majesties Napoléon V: Thank you again for your welcome and discretion

Temasong: Of course. If you'd like to follow me Napoléon V: We'll follow you

Temasong: How's your honeymoon going? Charlotte: It's wonderful. We'll remember it for the rest of our lives

Temasong: I'm delighted. Bora-Bora is the most beautiful place in Francesim and in the world, as you've seen Napoléon V: Certainly, it's like being in another idyllic world

Napoléon V: Is everything going well for you and your people? Temasong: Thank you for your concern, Sire

Temasong: Every day, the independentists undermine my mandate and threaten to overthrow me Charlotte: That's terrible, Monsieur le Maire

Napoléon V: If necessary, I can consult the Polynesians in a referendum. When the independentists lose, you won't have to worry about these ridiculous threats

Temasong: That would be appreciated, Sire. But it's risky, because I've been facing Oscar Sang, the leader of the independentists, for 3 terms. His late Majesty Napoléon IV's last nuclear tests caused a lot of unrest here Napoléon V: Would this Oscar Sang compete in the polls? Temasong: I don't think he has a majority, but his party has become very important in recent years. Some towns have even removed the French flag and official photos of the Emperor from their town halls

Napoléon V: That's unacceptable! Temasong: I share your anger, Sire

Temasong: I have a slim majority, but with your help, we can certainly nip the independentists in the bud!

Napoléon V: I will put the question of Bora-Bora on the agenda of my Council of State Charlotte: Do you fear for your life?

Temasong: No, Your Majesty. There have been no acts of vandalism at my home or at those close to me, nor any attacks. Sire, I'd like to renew the offer I made to your father. If you help me keep Bora-Bora in the empire and my place as President of Polynesia, I'll give you one of our most beautiful atolls

Napoléon V: Come on, Monsieur, there's no need to make such proposals. I'll listen to the French, to all the French, and I'll decide what's best for my people

Napoléon V: I refuse to let my politics be influenced by your shenanigans, however attractive your offers may be Gaston Temasong: I didn't mean to offend you, Sire. We have many atolls for sale, and I prefer that one of them belong to you, rather than to a foreign billionaire Charlotte: Thank you, Monsieur le Maire. We will consider your gracious proposal

⚜ Le Cabinet Noir | Bora-Bora, 14 Messidor An 230

Beginning ▬ Previous ▬ Next

The imperial couple met the mayor and deputy of Bora-Bora, Gaston Temasong. Temasong offered to guarantee the Emperor his place as head of French Polynesia, in exchange for a private atoll not far from Bora-Bora. Napoléon V was offended by this attempt at bribery, but worried about this independence movement, led by a certain Oscar Sang.

(An atoll is a coral island with a large lagoon at its center. These islands are part of archipelagos and are highly prized by certain billionaires)

⚜ Traduction française

Le couple impérial rencontre le maire et député de Bora-Bora, Gaston Temasong. Ce dernier propose à l'empereur de lui garantir sa place à la tête de la Polynésie française, en échange d'un atoll privé non loin de Bora-Bora. Napoléon V s'offusque de cette tentative de corruption, mais s'inquiète de ce mouvement indépendantiste, mené par un certain Oscar Sang.

Gaston Temasong : Je suis heureux de vous rencontrer, Vos Majestés Impériales Napoléon V : Merci encore pour votre accueil chez vous, et votre discrétion

Gaston Temasong : C'est bien naturel. Si vous voulez bien me suivre Napoléon V : Nous vous suivons

Gaston Temasong : Comment se déroule votre lune de miel ? Charlotte : C'est merveilleux, nous nous en souviendrons toute notre vie

Gaston Temasong : J'en suis ravi, Bora-Bora est le plus bel endroit de Francesim et du monde, comme vous avez pu le constater Napoléon V : Certainement, on se croirait dans un autre monde, idyllique

Napoléon V : Tout se passe bien pour vous et vos habitants ? Gaston Temasong : Merci de vous en inquiéter Sire.

Gaston Temasong : Les indépendantistes nuisent chaque jour à mon mandat et menacent de me renverser Charlotte : C'est terrible, Monsieur le Maire

Napoléon V : S'il le faut, je peux consulter les Polynésiens par référendum. Quand les indépendantistes perdront, vous n'aurez plus à vous soucier de ces menaces ridicules

Gaston Temasong : Ce serait apprécié Sire. C'est cependant risqué, cela fait 3 mandats que j'affronte Oscar Sang, le chef des indépendantistes. Les derniers essais nucléaires de feu Sa Majesté Napoléon IV ont causé beaucoup de troubles ici Napoléon V : Cet Oscar Sang rivaliserait dans les sondages ? Gaston Temasong : Je ne crois pas qu'il ait la majorité, mais son parti a pris beaucoup d'importance ces dernières années. Certaines villes ont même retiré le drapeau français et les photos officielles de l'Empereur des mairies

Napoléon V : C'est inadmissible ! Gaston Temasong : Je partage votre colère, Sire

Gaston Temasong : Je possède une faible majorité, mais avec votre aide, nous pouvons certainement étouffer les indépendantistes dans l'oeuf

Napoléon V : Je mettrai à l'ordre du jour la question de Bora-Bora auprès de mon Conseil d'Etat Charlotte : Craignez-vous pour votre vie ?

Gaston Temasong : Non non, il n'y a pas eu d'actes de vandalismes chez moi ou chez mes proches, ni d'attaques. Sire, j'aimerais renouveler l'offre que j'ai faite à votre père. Si vous m'aidez à conserver Bora-Bora dans l'empire ainsi que ma place en tant que président de Polynésie, je vous offrirai l'un de nos plus beaux atolls

Napoléon V : Allons, Monsieur le Maire, inutile d'en venir à ce genre de propositions. Je suis à l'écoute des Français, de tous les Français, je déciderai ce qui est le mieux pour mon peuple

Napoléon V : Je refuse que ma politique soit influencée par vos manigances, aussi attrayantes soient vos offres Gaston Temasong : Je ne souhaitais pas vous offenser Sire. Nous avons de nombreux atolls en vente, et je préfère que l'un d'eux vous appartiennent, plutôt qu'à un milliardaire étranger

Charlotte : Merci Monsieur le Maire. Nous réfléchirons à votre gracieuse proposition

I closed my eyes and I saw everything 3/???

A huge thanks for following the idle adventures of our favorite Na'vi teenagers in my Avatar : The Way of Water fic! Also know that the amount of ship I see in the tags make me really happy. Here is more.

Including mangrove roots, a bead, and a bonding moment.

[Title after this song]

For a moment, the young Omaticaya was almost back in the high camp. Neteyam didn’t know how long he had lay there, lost in his flow of memories, but the Metkayina blue sky had turned into the wood-bark dusk. The village was now buzzing, getting ready for the evening – sharing the goods gathered in the reef or the jungle, reuniting with the family members spread through the island and the inlet during the day, telling each other what the day had been made of.

All the activities seemed so trivial to Neteyam. Didn’t they have anything more important to do? The Omaticaya had explored forests, discovered mountains, fought and overcome the Sky People. Why, of all the clans Pandora hosted, did his father choose such an uneventful place? Were the Sullys so weak that they should conceal themselves in the reaches of the world?

Neteyam clicked his tongue. The feeling was so familiar, and yet so frustrating. But he would comply. As he always did.

With a stretch, he went out of the marui. The salt in the air and on his skin tickled his senses. The distant crash of the waves along the atolls had cradled him to sleep. In a way, he was thankful for that. This everlasting lullaby was way more comforting than the rustling of the rainforest.

“I have been looking for you.”

He barely had the time to properly greet Aonung. The Mektayina threw something at him. Startled, Neteyam thanked his parents for sharpening his senses. He grasped the token effortlessly, and, between his thumb and his index, observed it in the setting sun.

“A bead?” he said, blankly.

“Well, a bet’s a bet,” Aonung argued. “Though you kind of let me win this round. We’re even now.”

Somehow, being even with Aonung had a nice ring to it. Neteyam gazed at the bead with open curiosity. The gem sure was small, and yet so neatly polished, so perfectly round. When he compared it to the beads in his hair, Neteyam could feel the objects shared but only the same name. For the simple beauty of the bead was far greater than any accessory the Omaticayas had ever come up with.

“Where do you find them?”

“Some mollusks hold them.”

“Inside their bodies? Like eggs?”

“Sort of.”

“But they’re no eggs.”

“You bet they’re not! I wouldn’t have offered you an egg.”

Neteyam laughed.

“I would’ve had to keep it.”

Then he added, playfully:

“A bet’s a bet.”

Aonung sighed, but laughed in turn.

“Next time, you’ll be the one fetching me a bead.”

“Well, you’d better teach me where I can find them first. Or you might as well wait for the ikran to bend!”

Neteyam regretted the analogy even before Aonung had frowned. He looked back at the sea as if the great stretch of water could be of any help. But it clearly didn’t know what an ikran was either.

“Ikran are the flying beats we arrived on. And they are a bit temperamental.”

“More or less than a tsurak?”

The picture of the long, many-razor-toothed mouth gliding menace froze Neteyam. Why did Eywa allow a creature so inappropriate, and yet so threatening to swim in the peaceful Pandoran sea?

His face must have sold the boy out, because Aonung burst into laughter.

“Well, mount an ilu first, we’ll see for your temperamental rides later.”

That being said, he took Neteyam by the shoulder, and led him towards the centre of the village.

“We have other plans for tonight, anyway.”

“More surprises?”

He had secured the bead in the palm of his hand, not knowing how to attach it to his braid. He should ask later, preferably to someone else than the giver. He didn't want to give Aonung another reason to witness how awkward he was.

“No,” Aonung mused. “Or maybe you will. I don’t know what will be said, and since you’re so easily moved, maybe some of it will surprise you.”

They climbed on an upper root, leading towards the gathering place like a bridge to society. Beneath them, txampaysye swam idly, as if a part of that communal ceremony as well. Aonung smiled:

“Two beads that you’ve never seen anything like this.”

“Three beads that it does not surprise me more than the tsurak mounting.”

Aonung elbowed him. Neteyam nudged him back.

“I still do not know where the beads lie.”

“Well, that’s entirely on you.”

“Four beads that you show me where I can find them.”

“Five that you beg me to.”

Neteyam gave him a half shocked, half mused look.

“Warriors don’t beg.”

“Warriors mount tsurak.”

“I do mount an ikran.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

They had reached the gathering place. It was a small inlet of sand trapped between the mangrove roots, apart from the beach and the docks. The Metkayina had spread in small groups, some families, others in their age-range. Neteyam looked for his parents, who should have not been difficult to spot, but Aonung didn’t give him the time.

“Whether you can mount your ikran or not doesn’t matter here. Because, here, you must follow the water way.”

Neteyam sighed. They were now walking across the sandbank, towards the jungle. And that piqued his curiosity much more than the Mektaniya spiritual advice.

“And what does the water way command me to do?”

He straightaway hated the Lo’ak tone that had just crossed his lips. Maybe he was spending too much time with his brother. Aonung must not have appreciated it either, for he stopped, a few feet away from a large group of Na’vi gathered in a respectful circle.

“To open your eyes and your ears.”

#mangrove trees are neat #but shipping is neater #even if cameron is better at sinking ships #sorry not sorry (yes sorry)#avatar the way of water #avatar fic #neteyam #aonung #neteyam x aonung #leship #luizascribbles

Just realized since I randomly found your blog on Tumblr the other day after being on your ao3 since basically the start of aToL, I can finally give you the terrible fan art I made years ago, literally the first fanart I did for any fic ever :D its pretty bad and I've improved since but your writing inspired me to art more and now I'm actually okay at art

Okay thank you bye have a good timezone 🫶

Hello!

I'm honored to know that you have been following my stories for so long!

And about the fanart, I think it's pretty good, and I like how all the eyes have different shapes and different pupils. I think it conveys the situation of Soot seeing the eyes in pogtopia and how that disturbed him quite well.

Thank you for sharing your fanart with me ^^

I hope you are also having a good day/night ^__^

#ask answered #fan art of fanfiction #fanart of my fanfic #a twin of light #atol!wilbur #soot #dsmp #W. Agathus Soot #dracolineinnit #[Alexis Answers]

hiii evergreen and coat with whoever you're currently thinking about rn? ^-^

im rewatching criminal minds again and thinking … so spencer!!! ilovehim,, thank you!! hehe ur ask games are always so wonderful i love them

🌲 evergreen — do you and f/o have any winter-related traditions? holidays you celebrate together?

yes, we do! most of the winter traditions or holidays comes from me, though! spencer has a handle on the autumn-y stuff— especially halloween.

the cold weathers’s always really good for tamales, pozole, atole, chocolate y pan dulce. (there’s countless other things!) i was raised knowing how to make them, and i got better at it later… we have a little bit of a tradition to take our free days to cook something together!

🧥 coat — do you ever steal your f/os clothes? what about your f/o, do they ever steal yours? (or are clothes willingly shared?)

i don’t steal really much of spence’s clothes— they don’t really fit me, minus a few larger cardigans he has! sometimes he takes some of my sweaters/jackets and shirts, though he wouldn’t ever admit it out loud, (lol). doesn’t always wear them, usually he just holds onto them.

i do take his glasses a lot— tease him about his awful eye sight (he always shoots back mine is worse… which… is true).

#mailbox.#lovely people.#f/o: spencer!#i was excited about this ask bc i think i’d genuinely love being able to introduce spencer #(or any of my f/os that don’t come from the same cultural background as me)#to what i can from my culture and what i was raised with!!#i think for me personally food would be a nice way to do so!! and spencer would definitely be really willing and excited to learn #especially if he saw how happy i’d get #sorry for gushing in tags ahh

Intro to Japanese Kaiju Films (1950s-1960s)

Over the course of cinematic history, it is difficult to think of a more relevant and revolutionary style of film than the Japanese Kaiju films, particularly those of the 1950s and 1960s. Growing up, my father and I bonded over these movies year in and year out, him growing up on them and sharing them with me to let me experience the same magic that he felt. Because of this, I have a strong sentimental connection with these kinds of films and am extremely excited about having the privilege to study this subject.

Beginning with background on Kaiju films, a “Kaiju” is defined as the Japanese word for monster or “strange creature” for its direct translation. These beasts can come from absolutely anywhere and anytime, from the sea to outer space, some even having their own categories according to their size. For instance, the term ‘daikaiju’ refers to that of the giant monster while ‘kaijin’ refers to the kaiju that take a humanoid form. With that said, “Kaiju” becomes an umbrella term for the many monsters and beings that fall under any of these sub-categories, including their intentions in relation to humans. With this, there comes a fluid range of reaction from being bent on destruction to being protectors of civilization which often serve as a metaphor for a commentary on humanity.

Probably the most iconic of these movies and, the first one that my father showed to me, was the 1954 film Godzilla directed and written by Ishirô Honda. A really important aspect of the film’s production is the very company that produced it though, Toho Film Co. who managed to build an entire empire off the “Monsterverse” franchise. Because of Toho, Kaiju like Mothra, Godzilla, King Kong and countless others were able to be immortalized and celebrated by millions decades after their birth. Fun fact, Godzilla became such a cultural icon in Japan that the nation made him a legal citizen. Referring back to the concept of using the monsters as a commentary on human behavior, Godzilla became a political piece on the subject of nuclear testing in early post-World War II. During the years of 1946 and 1958, 23 nuclear devices were detonated in the area of Bikini Atoll, the very place where Godzilla came from. With that said, the nuclear weapons was “the monster” that humanity created, establishing the potential for unparalleled destruction of mankind which is seen through Godzilla’s rampage on Tokyo. In my opinion, the incredible success of the film leading to one of the biggest cinema franchises all around the world further illustrates humanity’s obsession with annihilation of the utmost extent.

For the remainder of this blog, I seek to expand on concepts like these and dive deeply into the multi-faceted and complex universe of Japanese Kaiju movies. If done correctly, I believe that I, as well as any interested readers, will have the opportunity to utilize the knowledge and context of these films to garner a better understanding about human nature. Thank you.

Hermès Kelly Clutch Summer romance in a cutout costume and sharing my favorites from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. A publish featuring the most effective in magnificence and fall fashion. Summer is made for statement clothes and vibrant color tales. Embracing summer season to the fullest, I paired a voluminous cut-out gown with a gentler hue. One would possibly say that the Pochette Mettis Monogram is simply another sq. shaped bag, but is a lot more than that. Shaped as a rectangular body purse, this small lady accent has a slim and flexible triangular flap embellished with a light pink and gold closing system. Nothing too spectacular, however one method or the other everything appears simply excellent.

Bonten celebrating Dia de los muertos with their s/o?

I'm sorry if I got to this late! I hope you like it ! :) Also this was my first request so I'm very happy! Thank you anon !! You made my day :) <3 I may have let out a scream. /pos

I know there are many other places that celebrate dia le los muertos so h/c will stand for Home Country.

I'm sorry I couldn't write for Takeomi and Mochi :,) I had a massive brain fart !

Bonten Characters celebrating dia de los muertos with their s/o

Characters: Bonten! Mikey, Sanzu, Ran, Rindou, Koko, and Kakucho

CW: a little bit of angst on Mikey's and Kakucho's part, mentions of alcohol on Sanzu's part.

Bonten! Mikey:

-Even though you too shared a house you still asked if it would be okay to make an ofrenda.

-Of course he said yes and asked what it was for and you explained to him what dia de los muertos is.

-He has you cuddled up near him while you explain to him how you celebrated at home or in h/c.

-He lets you have his card so you can go get the supplies to make the ofrenda and helps you set is up while drinking hot chocolate de abuelita.

-While you gather up photos of your passed loved ones you see him standing by the ofrenda and he places a photo hidden between all the decorations.

-Once he step asides and leaves you go and see what photo it is and see it's a younger boy with long black hair.

-"You know you also leave food and things they used to like as well" "Mm, is that so?"

-The next morning you wake up and see a bit of yakisoba on the ofrenda.

-Overall he would respect your culture and know that this tradition is important to you and if he seems a bit cold/distant with it it's because he doesn't want to do/say something that is disrespectful.

Bonten! Sanzu:

-"So it's like Halloween?" "No Haru it's different."

-Sanzu heard skulls and thought it was Halloween. You have to explain for a bit so he can understand.

-Since he couldn't stop talking about the sugar skulls you brought some and both of you painted them and set them on the ofrenda.

-Since he really likes the idea of the sugar skulls you did sugar skull face paint on him and he was obsessed. He thought it looked so cool. He even went into work with it.

-You saw that the bottle of tequila you had put earlier was almost empty and you had to explain to Sanzu that it was for the your passed loved ones.

-If you're really upset then he'll not only apologize but go out and buy more. He'll also help you prepare the favorite dishes of your passed loved ones.

-He'll see you eating by the ofrenda and although you didn't ask him to sit by you he goes sit with you anyway.

-He may come off as a bit insensitive but he's trying. You love him too much to get upset with him but you try to explain the importance of dia de los muertos.

-He comes around to it the next year and it still very much fascinated by the sugar skulls.

Bonten! Rindou:

-I feel like he would already kinda know a bit of it since he did a bit of research of it.

-It's one of those things he searched up when he wanted to know more you and your culture.

-Before the date comes closer he asks you if you wanted to spend dia de los muertos in h/c or any place that makes you feel comfortable.

-He took some time off and you both celebrated watching people sing/dance, ate, and of course visited the cemetery.

-He loves eating pan de muetro with atole. You ask if he wanted to learn how to make it to which he excitedly said yes and now he has sore arms. masar la masa is so tiring!

-He's very respectful and is happy seeing you celebrate your traditions and is happy he can be alongside you.

-For the times he can not take you back home to celebrate due to Bonten work he will try to set time aside to make an ofrenda at home.

Bonten! Ran:

-I feel like a bit similar to Sanzu in the sense that he's not trying to be offensive but just needs a bit of explaining.

-Once he knows he'll still be a little shit about it.

-"Hey y/n is it almost time for h/c Halloween?" *death glare*

-Ran will help you make tamales and he loves when you make agua de jamaica too.

-Another fan of the sugar skulls and asks if you can do face paint on him while explaining the significance of the sugar skulls.

-You make him watch Coco and he swears he didn't cry he just got something in this eye. His face paint says otherwise.

-He knows how your traditions are important to you but he'll still lightly tease you, out of love though.

-He gets his act together when you tell him if he keeps it up his photo will end up on the ofrenda next year.

Bonten! Koko:

-He's another one that takes you to your h/c or which ever place comfortable to celebrate.

-He not only has sugar skull face paint but he also the appropriate dress attire.

-Helps set up the ofrenda, make food, and any other preparations needed.

-He also loves pan de muetro but instead of atole he likes chocolate.

-He likes to watch the bailables and his favorite one is el danza de los viejitos.

-Overall super respectful and loves learning more about your culture.

Bonten! Kakucho:

- He helps you with arranging the cempasúchil flowers, he loves doing that with you.

-He also likes when you show him bailables on YouTube but he pays more attention to the music and even though he can not understand he can feel the emotion of the music.

-His favorites are the La Bujera and La llorona.

- He puts a photo of Izana and starts to cry a bit but you remind him that it's a day of celebration.

-Hug him and let him cry it out because he needs it.

-After a while he starts to feel better and you give him some the tamales you too made together and sit by the ofrenda and he talks to Izana.

i have a TON of domestic burs headcanons to share omg 🙏🙏 they live in my head rent free

- whenever soot wakes up throughout the night and isnt able to get back to sleep, sometimes he'll get up and make breakfast and coffee as a nice surprise for his general

- general started keeping a sketchbook and will occasionally sketch soot whenever the other isnt paying attention. theres drawings of him cooking, singing, relaxing-- soot eventually found the sketchbook and thought it was the sweetest thing in the world. he'll occasionally take it and add his own drawings of the general for wil to find later

- general found a stray cat outside their cottage and started feeding it and got WAY too attached and ended up begging soot for them to keep it as a pet. he said yes (of course) bc he saw how happy it made the general and because he's always wanted a cat but never had the time to keep one

- this one is a little self indulgent but i like to think that the burs have a guest room in the governor's mansion OR some sort of penthouse in the capital whenever they want to visit the city + tommy for longer than a day. everyone loves them of course and it can be a little overwhelming at times, but it's nice to visit everyone

- whenever they do visit the capital, soot likes to take general around and show him all the best shops and restaurants and cafes-- (soot thinks that his general has never seen lmanburg post-independence, general is technically experiencing the beauty of lmanburg for the first time) and they just have so much fun together

sorry this was so long but i hope u enjoy!!! <3 i love ur works more than anything, atol is probably my all time favorite fic and one of the best fics ive ever read :) so happy that they all got a happy ending

You don't need to apologize! I like your head anons very much and they are so sweet!! Made me go 'aww', and it also pretty much fits with the Burs they are very sweet with each other.

And I really like the cat one!(Cause I love cats and I find the idea of them having a cat very cute)

I'm glad to hear you enjoy my works so much!! It means a lot to me. And I'm glad you liked the ending of their story(I hope you'll like the epilogue too ^^)

Thank you for sharing your headcanons with me ^_^

Minerva (Bit 3)

Bit 1 | Bit 2 | Bit 3

Finally I have some writing to share. I might be getting my head back on straight, yay!

Buckets of Science!Gordon in this one. yes, I’ve let my inner geek out, sorry :D

Many thanks to @scribbles97 for the read through and reassurance when I get wibbly :D

I hope you enjoy this pile of marine fluff :D Approx. 2000 words worth :D

-o-o-o-

Gordon grinned and clapped his hands together. “So, what shall we do next? A little Minerva 101? A walk on the reef? Or a swim?” Those hands were rubbed together eagerly.

“You’ve just eaten, Gordon.”

“So?”

Andre stood up. “It is my recommendation that we wait before attempting swimming.”

“Aw, Annie.”

The glare Andre shot his husband almost melted the stern of the boat.

Cecil grinned and winked at his husband.

Virgil bit his tongue. “You think you can lug me onto that reef?” In the distance, the open ocean crashed against the outer reef rim. It was hard to see if there was even any dry land from this distance.

Gordon’s grin turned fond. “Wouldn’t go without you, bro. Told you, I brought the water chair.”

Virgil felt the simple emotion behind that statement and his heart warmed. The water chair was something he himself had put together for Gordon all those years ago after the hydrofoil accident. His brother hadn’t been able to swim and the hoverchair could not operate under or over water. So, borrowing a little Thunderbird technology, Virgil had built one that could. With some feedback and suggestions from its over-the-moon recipient, Virgil had tweaked the design to the point that it could literally operate as a diver assist with minimal effect on its immediate environment while still enabling the operator to ‘walk on water’.

Tracy Industries now produced a trimmed down economical version for world-wide distribution. Gordon was the poster boy for the program and loved seeing people experience water in ways that had been denied them in the past.

But the original, the prototype, was kept on Tracy Island with Gordon. Virgil serviced it every couple of years and it had even been used a few times since.

But never by Virgil.

After stripping into their own water wear, it took some manoeuvring and both nurses to get into Virgil into some wet gear. It was awkward and frustrating, but both Andre and Cecil were gentle and understanding. Gordon stood ready to assist, his eyes warm, his hand briefly brushing Virgil’s hair.

Virgil was grateful, but hated every second.

The casts on his legs were specifically printed for him, a high-tech honeycomb of support, providing strength without the weight and bulk of traditional plaster. And they were water friendly, allowing both air flow and ultimately water flow around his injured limbs.

It took all three men to get Virgil safely into the inflatable.

“Virg, you’ve been stealing far too many of Scott’s apple pies.”

“Speak for yourself.” Virgil grit his teeth as they lowered him into the smaller boat. “Are you sure about this?” So much work to get one person onto a reef.

“Not going without you, bro. Apple pie butt or no.” The determined expression on his little brother’s face put an end to that argument.

The water chair was tucked behind a seat along with snorkelling equipment and a stash of Gordon’s scientific gear and within minutes they were motoring across relatively shallow waters spotted with tropical reef. Virgil peered over the side watching the ever so clear azure pass beneath them. The colours were amazing.

The atoll was obviously the remains of yet another undersea volcano. Living on Tracy Island, which was a volcano itself, gave him some familiarity with the symptoms. But unlike the islands in the Kermadec arc, this volcano hadn’t quite made it above the waterline. It had, however gotten close enough to bring its rim into the sunlit zone of the ocean, enabling coral to gain a foothold and build the reef that had accomplished the task.

As the rim grew closer, the water grew shallower, to the point where Gordon had to slow the inflatable or risk impaling it on submerged living limestone.

The roar of open ocean grew closer. The crash of massive waves that the coral rim was protecting them from. Virgil closed his eyes and soaked in the saltwater air, the breeze and the soundscape.

I was invigorating and relaxing at the same time.

At some point he became aware of eyes on him and he opened his own only to encounter Gordon smiling softly.

Ever so quiet. “That’s more like it.”

Virgil was caught between fondness and embarrassment. But Gordon didn’t say anything else and turned back to steering the boat. Neither Andre or Cecil appeared to have noticed, possibly through courtesy.

Virgil let one hand trail in the cool, clear water and closed his eyes again.

He might have just drifted off right there and then but for the sudden cease of the outboard which had been chugging along relatively slowly in any case. The inflatable drifted as Gordon deployed an anchor and Andre pulled out the water chair, unfolding the leg supports.

“Okay, Virg, let’s get your apple pie butt into the chair.”

Virgil growled at his brother, but Gordon only grinned, climbing behind him and, with Cecil’s help, lifting him enough for Andre to slide the contraption under said butt.

The chair’s gel morphed to his shape, fitting snuggly and supporting his back as Gordon strapped him in. Andre secured the leg braces, connecting them to his casts.

Andre jumped over the side and landed in waist deep water.

Gordon curled his hand around Virgil’s arm. “Okay, bro, let’s see how much fish you have in you.” Another teethy grin as he and Cecil lifted Virgil over the edge of the inflatable and lowered him with Andre’s guidance into the water.

Virgil palmed the seat’s control, which previously he had only used to test the contraption, and micro-thrusters fired up stabilising him as he slipped into the water.

A moment of wobble and the seat settled at waist depth in the water, its quiet hum barely audible over the ripples lapping against the boat.

“Well, it seems those apple pies aren’t going to sink you today.”

“Gordon!”

His brother only laughed as he joined him in the water with a splash…which landed mostly on Virgil.

He wanted to both throttle and hug Gordon to death.

Cecil joined them, smoothly sliding off the inflatable, and all four of them made their way towards the massive reef sticking a good foot above the low tide.

“Watch where you step. Virg has the advantage here. Lots of sharp nasties if you’re not careful.”

Virgil was too busy enjoying the water. The chair automatically adjusted to the surface and he was able to raise or lower it at will. As they neared the inner edge of the reef, he engaged the secondary thruster array and pushed himself above the waterline. The breeze caressed his skin.

The reef ledge was quite a step up. A purple-brown, the limestone sported a continual waterfall of seawater pushed by the swell from the open ocean on the other side.

Gordon slipped in behind him and gave the chair a nudge to get it high enough to engage with the raised surface. Virgil fiddled with the controls until the seat stabilised, hovering just a few inches above the rock and all the rockpools it held.

And there were a lot of rock pools.

Virgil had a sudden flashback to a young Gordon dashing from one rock pool to the next, yelling out his discoveries of this fish, that shell, the occasional ticked off crab…

The incident with the blue-ringed octopus particularly came to mind.

But his little brother had been six then. Theoretically, he was an adult now, one of advanced marine experience.

“Virg! Come and have a look at this!”

Then again...

Sure enough, it was a rock pool and it had some kind of eel trapped in it. Gordon started babbling Latin at him before Virgil had even made it close enough to see the thing clearly.

There was a camera, several shots, some holofilm and lots and lots of incomprehensible marine science-ese.

Virgil had to bite his lip not to grin like a loon.

Cecil appeared to be a disciple of Gordon, his knowledge obviously not up there with the aquanaut’s, but ever so interested and eager to learn. Gordon revelled in the opportunity and Virgil got to sit back and watch his little brother disappear into his element.

Andre hovered about his patient, on duty at all times. “You can relax, Andre. I’m good. Have a bit of fun.”

The quiet man smiled. “I am.” His eyes were on Cecil as his husband darted after Gordon from rock pool to rock pool chattering excitedly with the aquanaut.

Virgil pulled out his phone and took some photos of his brother and his student. “You may never get him back.”

Andre snorted. “I have my ways, don’t worry.”

An arched eyebrow found the nurse smiling again.

With Gordon off in science land, Virgil took the opportunity to do a little exploring of his own. He lowered the chair enough so he could reach down and touch the rock beneath the water. It was sharp, rough and covered in life. The rock pools were truly fascinating. Corals lived in niches, sea urchins huddled in all their spikiness, but it was the giant clams that caught his eye the most.

They had some brilliant colours and they reacted to his presence, closing up abruptly if he startled them. They were quite a distance down and he found himself poking into deeper pools as he scooted along the inner edge of the reef.

They came in a number of shades, but the most brilliant was a vivid blue. His eyes were attracted to the subtle patterns and his fingers itched to record them. His phone filled with shots at the thought of future paintings.

“Thought you might like those.”

Virgil nearly dropped his phone. That, of course, only produced a grin on Gordon’s behalf.

Virgil was hovering over a particularly deep rock pool and at the very bottom, wedged in a crevice, sat a beautiful blue example. It was still mostly open, displaying its variegated mantle. Due to a sudden lack of breeze and the clarity of the water, it was very visible, and Virgil had already taken several holoshots, a composition combining sea urchins, several of the bright red fish and the clam, already in mind.

Behind him Cecil was bouncing on his feet a few metres away gesticulating in excitement as he raved at Andre. Andre had that smile on his face again, the one where love and amusement met and each tried to take dominance.

“I think you’ve started something over there.” Virgil grinned at his brother.

A snort. “Cess has always had an interest. I’m just fanning the flames.”

“Luring him to cook for us forever?”

“Mmmmaybe.”

Virgil chuckled and earned himself a pair of sparkling amber eyes.

“Mel wants a clam count.”

A blink. “What?”

“She’s worried there might be poaching happening here. This place gets a lot of traffic. I had John check for yachts before we came and the fact there are none other than us here is a rarity.”

“People steal the clams?” Virgil stared down at the beautiful creature below.

Gordon sighed. “Is there anything people won’t do? Mel wants a count so we can do a population snapshot. Shouldn’t be too hard. I’ve adapted one of our lifesign locators for their particular form. Not sure it’s going to work, but I was hoping that between us, we could rig it.”

Virgil stared up at his brother. Gordon had planned this, but he had planned it well. Virgil couldn’t resist the challenge, and much like his aquanaut brother, certain stains on humanity really got his back up.

“Sure.”

Gordon’s smile was an honest one. “But no pushing it, Virg, or Scott will have my hide.”

As if summoned by his name, a roar swelled in the distance and out of nowhere Thunderbird One shot into the air space above them, VTOL flaring as she came to a sudden halt.

Their comms spat into life. “Thunderbird One to A Little Lightning, whatcha doing down there?”

Good Causes

I blame this unplanned little story on the fact that I've seen 'Giving Tuesday' posts all over the place today, and also remembering that Kira is just a little obsessed with penguins...

YOU CRAZY, Robin signs, then tucks his gloved fingers back into his pockets.

FOR GOOD CAUSE, Kira signs back. SUPPORT PENGUIN RESEARCH AND CONSERVATION IN ANTARCTICA. JULES AND I DO EVERY-YEAR.

She waves at the redhead with the pixie cut standing next to the sign-in booth. Robin's never met this girl before, but he guesses she's one of Kira's friends from residential Deaf school, given that they've been signing at each other since they caught sight of each other in the sign-in line. Robin thought he was good at this, but clearly Kira's been signing slowly for all her work teammates. With Jules, her fingers and hands are little more than a blur. Robin can catch the odd word here and there, but for the most part, their conversation is theirs alone.

He gets wanting to catch up with an old friend. He totally understands wanting to support something that protects nature. What he does NOT get is signing up to be diving into frigid water.

Apparently, that makes him the minority here.

There must be over a hundred people already. All of them appear to be wearing some variation on a black-and-white color scheme. Kira and Jules both have 'ugly sweaters' with matching penguin designs on them, but a few others have gone the extra mile and are actually dressed to look like penguins themselves.

John sets down a thermos that, if Robin recognizes the smell, is a batch of atole. Warm and thick and sweet. It sounds good already. Robin is feeling a bit frozen himself already, and he's not planning on going in the water. He and John and Cody all pitched in to contribute to the donation fund, but all three of them opted out of going in the water, although John and Robin are tagging along to be moral support, from the comfort of dry land.

Kira looks more excited about this than any human being has a right to. Jules runs over with her copy of her signed waiver, her 'dry land' partner (her roommate Hazel, and who isn't Deaf but is Hard of Hearing, Kira signs) following. Jules looks like she can't stand still longer than a few seconds, jogging in place and bouncing up and down a little. Robin likes her already. Aside from the fact that she's apparently convinced one of the sanest people he knows that this is a good idea.

They stand around people-watching and occasionally contributing to Kira and Jules and Hazel's conversation for about half an hour before someone calls over the loudspeaker that it's time for the first group to get ready, and Hazel taps both the others on the shoulders since they've left their hearing aids behind for this.

Apparently, since the registrations are under Kira's name, they're in the "B's" and get to go with the first wave. Kira sheds her sweater and sweatpants and hands them off to Robin. She and Jules are both wearing black leggings and black t-shirts with white screen-printed ovals on the front, like a cartoon penguin. The printed ovals have cracks and a few places where the design has flaked off, they must be the same shirts they wear every year.

They both run off to the water, link arms, and race down the beach into the water at the same time when the event organizer shouts that it's time to go.

Robin jumps a little at the cacophony of shrieking and shouting. Some people stay in for only a short time before climbing back out and being met by their dry partners with towels. Kira and Jules stay a bit longer, splashing around and jumping up and down when they find someone else who signs. John is chuckling, shaking his head. Hazel rubs her arms through her sweater.

The crowd at the beach and in the ocean has thinned out quite a bit by the time the two girls start wading back to shore, only a few who seem to want to prove they're tough (or may have gone numb by now) are still in the water.

Both of them are shivering when John and Robin and Hazel show up with their towels. It's hard to see a noticeable difference on Kira's brown skin, but Jules definitely has a bluish tinge to her lips and fingers. They're grinning, despite chattering teeth. Robin is pretty sure they must have frozen most of their brain cells to look this happy. He feels cold just watching them.

They both grab their bags of dry clothes and run off to the tent set up for the participants to change. Robin wonders if part of their strategy with staying in longer was so they wouldn't have to wait outside the changing tent in the chilly breeze so long. He wouldn't put it past Kira to literally have this down to a science.

When she comes back, wearing a rusty-orange sweatshirt, thick sweatpants, and a soft scarf wrapped around her still-damp hair, Robin puts an arm around Kira's shoulder, letting his magic spread warmth through his hands. Kira leans into him, and John wraps a blanket around the both of them, it's one of Robin's mom's that he insisted they bring along, the residual magic woven in lends an extra layer of warmth. Robin rubs a hand up and down Kira's arm, feeling the residual chill and shivering slightly when her damp hair presses against his neck and cheek.

Kira takes the thermos from John and pours off a cup for Jules before drinking her own share straight from the bottle.

THANK YOU, Jules signs to John.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

WHAT IS THIS? NOT HOT C-O-C-O-A, BUT GOOD.

A-T-O-L-E. TRADITIONAL MEXICAN DRINK.

KIRA SHOULD BRING YOU EVERY YEAR.

Kira grins. PLAN TO. MAYBE EVEN CONVINCE THEM TO JUMP IN.

Robin shakes his head. He's not going in that water...or at least he doesn't plan to. But coming along for the ride and watching Kira do something she loves? That, he's more than happy to do every single year.
