//Starter for @followingprotocol!//

"Wait, I think someone's over here!"

Flicker trod over to the collapsed wall in his dinomode and pointed his antennas at the large pile of debris. A few pieces began to tremble, and soon they started hovering in the air.

The young mech had heard a small noise from the pile. He feared that a child had been buried underneath when the building had come down. However, when he moved one of the bigger pieces of concrete out of the way, a cat appeared. As soon as it had struggled itself free, it fled, seemingly uninjured.

Flicker vented in relief. He would later check if anyone had filed a missing cat report. Now he continued to take the loose parts of wall apart until he was certain there was no-one trapped.

"All clear." Flicker transformed back into his bot mode and exited the remains of building through a narrow crack. He wiped the dust off his visor and looked at Chase who'd been waiting outside.

Going through Part I, finding myself smiling very kindly and gently as the main character meets Aubrey. Something tells me that I miss the young fellow... It has been a while since I worked on his path.

I NOW HAVE A VERY, VERY, VERY...

Big Secret

And I'm probably not going to be able to keep it, and you may just kill me. Or he. . . Or we... Or them 3. Probably just me...

Why do I write this shit?! You and I both know you're the only one who knows how to read it.

I MISS TELLING YOU EVERYTHING

I miss the sound of you saying my name

I miss the feeling of winning, in the game of life, but now I'm no longer your wife

I don't know if you even thought twice

... but I sure do miss our life </3

A New Year, A New Plan

The white horse trotted along the quite and tree-filled Elwynn forest while its rider observed carefully for any impending dangers. It was the same path that the horse had taken over and over to get to its final destination. Meanwhile, the rider sat tall with a blue cloak over his left shoulder, the Stormwind sigil covering his body. Beneath that cloak, he wore a simple linen taupe outfit. He wasn’t incredibly dressed for a Winter Veil dinner, but then again, no one expected him to be.

He and his horse approached the farm house close to the river’s edge. Two children ran out past the pumpkin patches and toward the gate. “Uncle! Uncle Alex! Come on!”

Alessandro Mares smiled, his brown hair a mess, as usual. He waved at his niece and nephew and as he approached the gate, he slipped off his horse. “My loves!” He knelt and the children ran toward him, hugging him tightly. “Go tell your momma that I’m here.” He saw the children running toward the home while he moved his horse toward the barn. He escorted the mare to a stall and he closed it. “There you go, girl. Enjoy your night.” With a gentle pat, Alessandro walked out of the barn and toward the home. Upon entering, he heard a woman calling his name.

“Alex! It is you! Ay, these kids! They kept saying ‘guess who’s here!’ Over and over!” Lucrezia, or Lucy, as Alessandro called his sister, ran over and hugged her younger brother. “You look skinny. This is what happens when you don’t come visit us often. Francesc told us you parted ways! Where did you go? Ay, Alex.” She shook her head and walked into the kitchen. “Francesc told you what?” Alessandro called out as he followed his sister. “I told her you just walked away from us one day and went off on your own damn path,” a man responded from the kitchen table. He leaned on his arm as he looked up at Alessandro. “And we didn’t hear from you. At all.”

“Francesc, I didn’t….”

“You didn’t want us to follow you? Or know what you were doing? You could have gotten killed out there,” the gnomish woman said from the table. Alessandro turned and sighed.

“I’m not dead, Antoinette, am I? I’m here.”

“Enough with this dead talk. It’s Winter Veil and we will be happy. We’re all here. You three can catch up later. Help me set the table.” Lucrezia pointed at the plates and silverware on the table and the three of them picked up something and walked into the other room.

As they set the table, Mark, Lucrezia’s husband, walked into the room. “Alex! There you are. Hey, France, he’s there.” Mark laughed and Francesc rolled his eyes. Antoinette giggled and as soon as Mark walked into the kitchen, Francesc looked at Alessandro.

“You could have been killed. The Syndicate was questioning us.”

“I told you not to deal with them,” Alessandro whispered back.

“Well, thanks to Toni here, we dodged that bullet. And sword. And dagger.” Francesc sighed. “Yeah, thanks to me. And thanks to me, I have another meeting with someone who may be some help.” Antoinette smiled and placed the napkins on the table. “What did you do, Toni?” Alessandro murmured. “I am not going to be part of any other deal. I was thinking of going back to Stormwind and ask the Cathedral to be reinstated.”

“Perfect!” Francesc said, placing the last plate down. “The next meeting is in Stormwind. We’re meeting with the infamous Evan Fox.” Alesandro stared at them both. “You know, the great Stormwind philanthropist? That one should interest you, huh?”

“Rumors have it that it’s all a front,” Alessandro said.

“Well, it must be a good one because the city loves him.”

“Loves who?” Lucrezia said, bringing the food into the dining room.

“No one,” Alessandro said quickly.

“Evan Fox,” Antoinette said.

“Fox? He helped with that farm two miles down when the bandits attacked. I hear he’s done wonders for Stormwind. Kids!” She called out and went into the back rooms.

“See?” Antointte said with a smile. “It will be great. Let’s meet with him and if you decide that no, he’s not gonna need our help, then you can go back to being a man of the blessed Light.”

Francesc chuckled, “He never stopped. He visited every holy man and woman he could find while we were out there.”

Alessandro sighed. He walked to the couch and removed his cloak, folding it carefully over the couch. He smiled when the children ran in and he reached out to Lucrezia as she walked in with baby Gerardo.

“Sit down. Alex is going to say a few words.” They sat around the table and turned to look at Alessandro, who still held the baby in his arms.

“Um… Blessed Light, protect us as we enjoy this joyful gathering. We ask for your guidance and warmth on this day and the days to come. Blessed be.” He opened his golden eyes and noticed a soft trail of light in his family members as they held hands. He sighed in relief. The blessed Light was still within him.

Lucrezia opened her eyes in time to see the faint gold in her brother’s eyes fading away. She smiled and reached for the child. “You should go back to the church, Alex. It suits you.”

“Not before we talk to Fox,” Francesc said. Lucrezia sighed and waved at the food. “Eat! Happy Winter Veil!

My Biggest (Realistic) Fear... Realized.

This post was written on February 17, 2024. As of 2 days ago, 34,000 people in tech, media, and advertising have been laid off. I am now one of those people. As the main income provider for my family, this has been my biggest fear. That makes sense, right – without a steady income, how do we live? How would we manage without that paycheck every two weeks? How would we save for college? Save��

Imagine Annabeth and Percy have a kid early, unplanned and it kinda fucks with their finances so Percy drops out of school to get a job so he can care for the kid and support Annabeth in school. At first he gets a job teaching kids sword fighting but then he hears about underwater welding which pays well because it’s dangerous but Percy is a child of the sea so it’s much less so for him. His boss is even willing to give him flexible hours which means Annabeth doesn’t have to take their kid to class anymore and they can actually afford daycare (why does is it the price of a mortgage nowadays???). A huge financial burden is lifted and Percy doesn’t mind the work so it’s good all the way around.

Fast forward to when Annabeth is done her masters in architecture and lands a job at a top firm. They’ve got savings and have Annabeth’s income to rely on. Percy heads back to school and finishes a degree in marine biology, going on to research some really niche topics like how underwater welding impacts the environment and shifting from there until he’s a well known expert in the field.

Just them finding their way. Supporting each other and landing on their feet no matter what
