Sherlock Holmes is autistic

- “...he had contrived, with that cat-like love of personal cleanliness which was one of his characteristics”. (HOUN) -  “I have [...] an abnormally acute set of senses” (BLAN) - “My friend, who loved above all things precision and concentration of thought, resented anything which distracted his attention from the matter in hand” (SOLI) - “I was never a very sociable fellow, Watson, always rather fond of moping in my rooms and working out my own little methods of thought, so that I never mixed much with the men of my year" (GLOR) -  “Who could come tonight? Some friend of yours, perhaps?” “Except yourself I have none, - he answered. - I do not encourage visitors” (FIVE) - “...his disinclination to form new friendships...” (GREE) - “Without having a tinge of cruelty in his singular composition, he was undoubtedly callous from long over-stimulation. There was no trace then of the horror which I had myself felt at this curt declaration, but his face showed rather the quiet and interested composure of the chemist who sees the crystals falling into position from his over-saturated solution” (VALL) Low empathy - “He was a man of habits, narrow and concentrated habits“ (CREE) - “He had a horror of destroying documents, especially those which were connected with his past cases [...] Thus month after month his papers accumulated, until every corner of the room was stacked with bundles of manuscript which were on no account to be burned, and which could not be put away save by their owner” (MUSG) - “He appears to have a passion for definite and exact knowledge “(STUD) - “...never have I wondered at it more than upon that spring morning in Cornwall when for two hours he discoursed upon celts, arrowheads, and shards” (DEVI) special interest/infodumping - “'My dear doctor,' said he, kindly, 'pray accept my apologies. Viewing the matter as an abstract problem, I had forgotten how personal and painful a thing it might be to you. I assure you, however, that I never even knew that you had a brother until you handed me the watch” (SIGN) low empathy - “Arrest you!' said Holmes. 'This is really most grati - most interesting. On what charge do you expect to be arrested?” (NORD) low empathy -  “We were residing at the time in furnished lodgings close to a library where Sherlock Holmes was pursuing some laborious researches in early English charters” (3STUD) special interest - “My friend's temper had not improved since he had been deprived of the congenial surroundings of Baker Street. Without his scrap-books, his chemicals, and his homely untidiness, he was an uncomfortable man” (3STUD)  - “Holmes could talk exceedingly well when he chose, and that night he did choose. He appeared to be in a state of nervous exaltation. I have never known him so brilliant. He spoke on a quick succession of subjects - on miracle plays, on mediæval pottery, on Stradivarius violins, on the Buddhism of Ceylon, and on the warships of the future - handling each as though he had made a special study of it” (SIGN) special interest/infodumping - “His studies are very desultory and eccentric, but he has amassed a lot of out-of-the-way knowledge which would astonish his professors” (STUD) - “He is not a man that it is easy to draw out, though he can be communicative enough when the fancy seizes him” (STUD) - 'Holmes is a little too scientific for my tastes - it approaches to cold-bloodedness. I could imagine his giving a friend a little pinch of the latest vegetable alkaloid, not out of malevolence, you understand, but simply out of a spirit of inquiry in order to have an accurate idea of the effects” (STUD) low empathy - “He appears to have a passion for definite and exact knowledge” (STUD) - “He seized me by the coat-sleeve in his eagerness, and drew me over to the table at which he had been working” (STUD) personal space problems - “With an apology for my intrusion, I was about to withdraw, when Holmes pulled me abruptly into the room, and closed the door behind me” (REDH)  personal space problems - “...his long, nervous fingers tapping upon the arms of his chair...” (DISA) stimming - “He paced restlessly about our sitting-room in a fever of suppressed energy, biting his nails, tapping the furniture” (BRUC) stimming - “He began biting his nails and staring blankly out of the window” (STOC) stimming - “Yes, I have been guilty of several monographs. They are all upon technical subjects. Here, for example, is one "Upon the Distinction Between the Ashes of the Various Tobaccos." In it I enumerate a hundred and forty forms of cigar, cigarette, and pipe tobacco, with coloured plates illustrating the difference in the ash” (SIGN) special interest - “'Well, he's that strange, sir. After you was gone he walked and he walked, up and down, and up and down, until I was weary of the sound of his footstep” [...]  “I was myself somewhat uneasy when through the long night I still from time to time heard the dull sound of his tread...” (SIGN) stimming - “...in his nervous restlessness, he could not sit still, but paced the carriage or drummed with his long, sensitive fingers upon the cushions beside him” (THOR) stimming - “He appears to know every detail of every horror perpetrated in the century” (STUD) special interest - “When left to himself, however, he would seldom produce any music or attempt any recognized air. Leaning back in his arm-chair of an evening, he would close his eyes and scrape carelessly at the fiddle which was thrown across his knee” (STUD) stimming? - “But this is my special hobby, and the differences are equally obvious. There is as much difference to my eyes between the leaded bourgeois type of a Times article and the slovenly print of an evening halfpenny paper as there could be between your Negro and your Esquimaux” (HOUN) special interest - “'You are hungry”, I remarked. “Starving. It had escaped my memory. I have had nothing since breakfast”.''Nothing?'' “Not a bite. I had no time to think of it” (FIVE) eating problems - “...for days on end he would lie upon the sofa in the sitting-room, hardly uttering a word or moving a muscle from morning to night” (STUD) a shutdown? - “My friend had no breakfast himself, for it was one of his peculiarities that in his more intense moments he would permit himself no food, and I have known him presume upon his iron strength until he has fainted from pure inanition” (NORW) eating problems - “But how do you know that it is hereditary?” ''Because my brother Mycroft possesses it in a larger degree than I do” [...] “He has an extraordinary faculty for figures, and audits the books in some of the Government departments“. [...] . There are many men in London, you know, who, some from shyness, some from misanthropy, have no wish for the company of their fellows. [...] My brother was one of the founders, and I have myself found it a very soothing atmosphere”. [GREE] autism run in families - “We had a pleasant little meal together, during which Holmes would talk about nothing but violins” (CARD) special interest/infodumping - “For two hours the strange business in which we had been involved appeared to be forgotten, and he was entirely absorbed in the pictures of the modern Belgian masters. He would talk of nothing but art, of which he had the crudest ideas” (HOUN) special interest/infodumping - “I remember that during the whole of that memorable day he lost himself in a monograph which he had undertaken upon the Polyphonic Motets of Lassus” [...] “As to Holmes, he returned refreshed to his monograph upon the Polyphonic Motets of Lassus, which has since been printed for private circulation, and is said by experts to be the last word upon the subject” (BRUC) special interest - “Kindly look her up in my index, Doctor,' murmured Holmes, without opening his eyes. For many years he had adopted a system of docketing all paragraphs concerning men and things, so that it was difficult to name a subject or a person on which he could not at once furnish information” (SCAN) - “Sherlock Holmes sat moodily at one side of the fireplace cross-indexing his records of crime” (FIVE) - “The first day Holmes had spent in cross-indexing his huge book of references. The second and third had been patiently occupied upon a subject which he had recently made his hobby - the music of the Middle Ages” (BRUC) special interest - “An anomaly which often struck me in the character of my friend Sherlock Holmes was that, although in his methods of thought he was the neatest and most methodical of mankind, and although also he affected a certain quiet primness of dress, he was none the less in his personal habits one of the most untidy men that ever drove a fellow-lodger to distraction” (MUSG) - “Sherlock Holmes was a man, however, who when he had an unsolved problem upon his mind would go for days, and even for a week, without rest” (TWIS) sleep problems - “The mere sight of his excellent appetite was an assurance of success, for I had very clear recollections of days and nights without a thought of food” (VALL) eating problems - “You are knocking yourself up, old man,' I remarked. 'I heard you marching about in the night”. ''No, I could not sleep”, he answered” (SIGN) sleeping problems - “I do not know how far Sherlock Holmes took any sleep that night, but when I came down to breakfast I found him pale and harassed, his bright eyes the brighter for the dark shadows round them” (NORW) sleep problems

So, let me be a dear and give you an gree pass to talk about ideas for the new AU (we need a shorter name for that-) or to put a fictet

-White

in hindsight i know very little about spiderman and should’ve probably thought about this before bringing up the scenario lmfao. this is to say ill be making stuff up as i go (read: borrowing world building and mechanics from dc which is what i do read ..)

man I thought i was being so original and was about to suggest the alias ARACHNE for roier but it turns out theres already a marvel hero by that name fuck everything WHATEVER. arachne is a cool hero name im claiming it. I thought of using it because of the greek myth about the weaver who was more skilled than the goddess Athena and got cursed to become part spider, as a “punishment for her arrogance” . he wears that mantle ironically, naturally. he’s doing the punishing.

hero roier would honestly be more like vigilante!roier. he’s a genetic experiment— stemming from getting caught up with an ill-intentioned research lab as a child — and because of that he can shoot webs from his wrists (the material is stifling enough to suffocate, not that he has needed to resort to this more than a handful of times.), can use arachnid vision (with an extra set of eyes just below his human ones) and is just generally a very good acrobat.

unlike a friendly neighborhood spiderman, he DOES kill. it’s not something he’s proud of, and it’s not like he’s racking up body counts, but there’s history there. this roier is down for anything to ensure his survival and this includes hurting people, though he tries not to.

i briefly entertained the idea of roier wearing his hero suit WHILE in drag as melissa, just as an extra layer of protection for his civilian identity (we need a reason why his identity would be so important though… help me out?) but honestly idk about the practicality of it! its just a cool visual lol and funny to think about when cellbit tries to unmask him for the first time and finds a Beautiful Girl……

as for cellbit in this au, i think he’d actually be more of a journalist! a classic! our lois lane stand in or whatever! and I thought maybe he’d become fixated on finding arachne’s true identity after a close encounter — like being saved from an active robbery or something. he’d be almost obsessed with this figure and go really really far in trying to find the person behind the mask

---

Casque shifted from foot to foot nervously. He wanted to claim he wasn't nervous at all - he was a member of the 501st, for crying out loud! He'd been through some of worst and weirdest osik in the war!

But this was about Shim. How could he admit he hadn't reached out to his Guard batcher until just last night? The war had been over for months, and they were the only two remaining in their batch.

No wonder Shim hadn't picked up. Casque hadn't bothered to keep in contact during the war. There'd always been reasons.

There were a lot fewer reasons for why he hadn't tried to comm even once since the ceasefire.

It was hard enough admitting that to himself. He really didn't want to admit it to the 41st vode he needed to talk to. They had a relationship with their Guard batcher.

Casque squared his shoulders and stepped into the Temple chamber the 41st ARCs had claimed for themselves. He wished he had his helmet to just read IFF off everyone else's armor, but no. Being fully armored up while off-duty inside the Jedi Temple made the initiates (and some of the padawans) anxious.

At least he had a good description of Dan and A'lor. 'Both of them keep their hair red like Gree's. Dan has chunky braids and shrapnel shredded one of his ears. A'lor keeps his hair short and his circle beard neat. They're practically twinned. If you find one, the other's nearby.'

He spotted them pretty quickly. A flash of movement caught his eyes, and he turned to see a pair of vode matching their descriptions throwing a knife back and forth.

ARCs.

Casque crossed over to them and batted the knife out of the air when it was gently tossed in his direction.

"You're supposed to catch it," Dan reproached.

"Don't trust myself not to catch it with my breastplate," he admitted. "I've heard you two have a batcher in the Guard."

"Squaddie too," A'lor said.

"Magpie can go fuck himself," Dan grumbled.

A'lor rolled his eyes. "Still mad he kicked your ass around the block last time we met at 79s?"

"He has no karking sense of humor since he transferred to the Guard."

Casque interrupted; he recognized an argument that could go off on a tangeant when he heard one. "I've got a batcher in the Guard. I think. You know what they've been saying about the Corries shuffling numbers."

The two ARCs nodded. It had come out just days before the ceasefire. Some small number of senators - Seppie sympathizers, he figured - were abusing their authority to decomm Guard troopers. Well, they tried to decomm Guard troopers. The commanders had swapped numbers with KIA Corries to protect as many of their troops as possible.

Casque was pretty sure Shim was still Shim, but that was honestly just him hoping.

"Would you ask your batcher if he knows of a Guard named Shim?"

"Sure," Dan said. "Won't have an answer for a bit, though. We were supposed to go out bowling today, but Flinch had to cancel on us. Some sort of big Guard thing."

-

Baat hurried down the hall. It was Centaxday, which meant the Guard by the stairwell should be Magpie. After pulling an all-nighter to find the research that backed the Senator's talking points, he just wanted to shoot the breeze a little before going home to collapse.

Magpie wasn't at his post. No one was at his post.

Baat blinked horizontally. He turned to look for the next-nearest Guard to ask them about it. But that post was empty, too. In fact, as Baat gazed back up the hall, he didn't see any of the Guard at all.

-

Jilili was late for her shift because for some bizarre reason, the Senate Guard was handling security. They didn't know what they were doing; she'd barely stopped herself from snapping at them to go get the actually competent Guards.

She slung her apron on, tying it even as she walked to her station. Mid-afternoon shift change at the cafe was always a hot mess, and today was worse than usual. Apparently the Corries just hadn't shown up for work today?!? What the in the name of surface darkness.

A couple of hours later, it calmed down enough for her to actually talk to the other women on shift. Shanath looked about five seconds from screaming, and Kina was getting that twitch to her head that meant a severe migraine.

"I can't believe Tezia just quit like that," Shanath grumped. "Didn't she always say this was the best job she ever had?"

"Best paying job," Kina corrected. "But she and her Corrie boyfriend were getting hitched and leaving 'scant."

Jilili grinned. "Good for them!" A thought occurred to her. "Can they even get married? The senators are always babbling about how the Guard is government property."

"The senators think we're government property."

Kina shook her head. "Tezia said it was going to be purely a religious ceremony. Clones aren't legally sentient so she can't legally marry him."

"'Clones aren't legally sentient'," Shanath mocked in her snottiest tone. "Whose bright idea was that? Because it's dumb as shit."

"Probably our evil-Jedi ex-Chancellor."

"Fuck him, and not in the fun way."

-

The problem with giving someone your contact information, Aayla thought muzzily, was they might actually use it. She didn't recognize the particular chime coming from her comm, which meant she'd set this contact back when she was still a padawan.

Aayla was very comfortable with Bly radiating heat beside her. But she was a Jedi, so she wriggled out of his embrace to answer her comm. After setting it to voice only. "Knight Secura here."

The woman who appeared on her comm display was a darker Kessurian in formal businesswear. "Greetings, Knight Secura. I'm Selea Vental, president of the Galactic Republic Senate Employees Credit Union." Uncertainty entered her voice. "I don't know if you remember me…"

"Master Quinlan introduced us," Aayla reassured her. She vaguely remembered meeting the woman when Quin made her set up her own credit union account 'just in case'.

"I apologize for reaching out directly, rather than using the public contact numbers of the Jedi Temple. But it's about the clones, which means it's about the war…"

"What happened?" Aayla asked, nudging Bly with the Force to wake him up. She still didn't understand why Mx. Vental had called her. At least she was now decent enough to turn on the visual side so the other woman could see her.

"It's just… the Coruscant Guard is missing."

Aayla stared. "How do you mean, missing?"

"Not here. Not in the Senate Dome, not in any of their other posts in the Senate district. My branch managers at other Senate locations have checked there, and they're not there either." Mx. Vental took a breath. "We've tried contacting public lines and any private comms we have. Nothing. Commander Fox usually answers me quickly, even if it's just to tell me he's busy. My comm was chiming for him for over an hour before I called you-" She took another breath. "I don't know what Jedi General manages the Guard. I've never had to know that. There's never been a problem with the Coruscant Guard. You're the only Jedi I know besides Master Vos-"

Aayla held up a hand to forestall her saying anything else. "I'm not aware of anything that should affect the Guard. But I don't know all of our troop movements. I'll bring this to the Council's attention immediately."

"Thank you, Knight Secura. Everyone here at the credit union is worried about them."

Bly was looking at her wide-eyed from the bed, puzzlement painting him in the Force.

Aayla said her good-byes to Mx. Vental and flicked off her comm. "Didn't you mention once Commander Fox was your batchmate?"

"Yeah," Bly reached for his gauntlet. "Let me comm him…"

Aayla nodded and commed Obi-Wan herself. "Sorry to wake you, Master Kenobi, but there's a situation."

-

Bly only half-listened to Aayla explaining things to General Kenobi. Fox wasn't picking up his comm.

He might be sedated in the Corrie medbay again. That happened worryingly often. Bly tried Thorn instead.

He didn't start to worry until none of Fox's sub-commanders picked up either.

ARCHIVE M: Transmission 3

No. 3120

SECURITY STATUS: Absolute Secrecy

TYPE: Document/Bound/Book

RECOVERY: [REDACTED]M31

ACQUIRED BY: [REDACTED]

ACQUISITION CONDITIONS: Great Crusade, [REDACTED]

PROVENANCE: Human, Date Uncertain

PRIMARY INVESTIGATOR OBSERVATIONS:

Subject is a bound leather (Calfskin?) book, about twelve inches tall by eight inches in depth, with a thickness of approximately 24” non inclusive of bindings. Trace markings on the cover indicate title painted in gold or orichalcum leaf, but condition was too heavily damaged to make any conclusions regarding title.

Subject’s pages are vellum, very high quality, thick. No title page. No author. Ink iron based, greyish, but in this case quite legible. We have been unable to determine identity of the writer, but the language is Low Gothic/Late Albian, so fairly easy to translate. Writing style is at first neat, in same hand throughout, but neatness of writing degrades over time.

<<Archival Note #3120a:

Subject’s author may have aged over writing period, may have suffered injuries or mental illness impairing fine motor skills. Seems to be suggestion inferred by original investigating authorities, but with incomplete records, who knows? -K>>

This is essentially a gigantic list of names and/or titles. It begins with a a large heading in what is admittedly quite beautiful handwriting:

Being a Record of His Names

Each page denotes a series of names. There are hundreds, perhaps thousands. Every so often, a red “cross” shaped marking is placed opposite the last letter of the entry. We are unsure as to the meaning of this. [REDACTED] and I believe that this may indicate a “dispute” of sorts over the nature of the name/title.

Some names and titles are clearly recognizable from Old Terran mythology or from pseudo-Terran mythologies post First Empire. However, some are utterly foreign. Many have the “look” of human names, but of uncertain provenance. Civilian Archaeologist-Remembrancer [REDACTED] was permitted to briefly view selected, hand copied passages. She agreed with our assessment that many of these were “human like,” but admitted that even with her training in Archaeo-Linguistics she could not properly place them. Suggested they were corrupted names, perhaps lost in transliteration?

ABBERANT PROPERTIES:

Subject would, by all appearances, seem to have limitless pages. Over a dozen attempts have been made, at time of writing, to count full number of pages and record all content. In every instance, the number of pages seems to grow larger, and the “names” within seem to increase, or upon occasion, even decrease in number. At last count, there were well over one thousand names recorded, with the largest number being recorded, in Examination #7, at two thousand five hundred and eleven.

<<Archival Note #3120b: A list of the names most consistently present according to remaining records has been attached to this report.- K. >>

Research Note 1:

Repeat tests have shown that subject has no discernible psychic properties. Exact nature therefore disputed.

Encrypted Note #1a:

<broken code string> suggests likelihood, Warp origin. Most of <broken code string>gree.

Research Note 2:

Leather tests show similarity to extinct Terran bovine species designed #332y by Ministry of Agriculture, last sighted M22. Ordo Ceres has requested permission to use test strip for genetic sequencing.

Addendum 2a:

Request denied, Administratum.

Research Note #3:

Three individuals: two Legionaries (#01, #02) and one Mechanicum Adept (#03) were asked to select randomly numbered pages, marked via electronic tracking, noting names on pages selected. In all cases. A fourth individual, Control A, had last known pic-scan, all pages.

#01 reported eighteen names, pages 332-33. None varied from pages as recorded and referenced by Control A.

#02, a Chaplain, referenced pages 50-52. Reported pages 50, 51 blank. Does not match pages as recorded and referenced by Control A.

#03, Techpriest, referenced pages 500-510. Only forty percent of names matched original as recorded and referenced by Control A.

Encrypted Note #3a:

I did not track, nor did I record, a page 510 when the document was prepared for examination. Nevertheless, tracking device was present.

Exploring Cusco's Hidden Gems - A First-Class Photography Experience

Uncovering Cusco's Best Kept Secrets 1. San Pedro Market The San Pedro Market is a must-visit for foodies and those interested in local culture. It's one of the oldest markets in Cusco, dating back to the 16th century, and is a hub of activity with vendors selling everything from fresh produce and meat to souvenirs and traditional textiles. Don't miss trying some of the unique local dishes, such as cuy (guinea pig), alpaca, and rocoto relleno (stuffed peppers). 2. Sacsayhuaman Sacsayhuaman is an impressive Inca fortress located just outside of Cusco. It's believed to have been built in the 15th century and is made up of large, intricately placed stones. The site offers stunning views of Cusco and the surrounding mountains. Visit early in the morning to beat the crowds and watch the sunrise. 3. Cristo Blanco The Cristo Blanco statue overlooks Cusco from the top of a hill and provides breathtaking views of the city and surrounding landscape. The statue, which stands at 26-feet tall, was a gift from Arabic Palestinians in the 1940s and has since become an iconic symbol of Cusco. 4. Choquequirao Choquequirao is an ancient Inca ruin that is often referred to as "the other Machu Picchu." The site is situated on a mountaintop and can only be reached by a two-day trek through the Andes. It's relatively unknown to tourists, making it a serene and off-the-beaten-path destination for adventurous travelers. 5. Huacarpay Lake Huacarpay Lake is a tranquil oasis located just a short drive from Cusco. It's a popular spot for bird-watching and nature walks, with over 60 species of birds and other wildlife to observe. The lake is surrounded by stunning mountain views, making it the perfect place to relax and unwind after a busy day of sightseeing. Capturing the Perfect Shot: Photography Tips 1. Get the Right Equipment Invest in a good camera that suits your needs and budget. A DSLR camera works best for travel photography. You also need a variety of lenses, including wide-angle, standard, and telephoto lenses. Don't forget to bring a reliable tripod for stability and a spare battery. 2. Plan Your Shots Before you arrive at your destination, research the best spots for photography. Use Google Earth or Maps to get an aerial view of the area. Take note of the time of day when the lighting is best for your shot. Also, consider the weather conditions as they can affect your shot. 3. Composition When taking a photo, think about the rule of thirds. Divide the frame into three horizontal and vertical sections, and place your subject at the intersection. This will make it more appealing to the viewer. Don't be afraid to experiment with different angles and perspectives. 4. Lighting Lighting is crucial in photography. The golden hour, which is an hour after sunrise and an hour before sunset, provides soft lighting and warm tones, ideal for taking photos. Avoid shooting in harsh midday sun as it can cause shadows and overexposure. 5. Edit Your Photos Editing can enhance your photos and make them stand out. Adjust the brightness, contrast, and saturation to make the photo pop. Crop the photo to eliminate any unnecessary elements. Use Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop to edit your photos. In conclusion, capturing the perfect shot can be challenging, but with the right equipment, planning, composition, lighting, and editing, you can create stunning photos. Don't forget to have fun and enjoy the experience of exploring Cusco's hidden gems. San Pedro Market, located in the heart of Cusco, is a colorful and bustling marketplace that offers a wide range of products, from fresh produce and meats to handicrafts and souvenirs. It's a great place to immerse yourself in local culture and explore the vibrant colors of Cusco. Fresh Produce The produce section of San Pedro Market is a feast for the eyes. You'll find piles of colorful fruits and vegetables, from bright red tomatoes and yellow peppers to green avocados and purple potatoes. The vendors are friendly and will often let you sample their products, giving you a chance to taste the fresh flavors of Cusco. Meats and Seafood If you're a meat lover, you'll enjoy exploring the meat section of San Pedro Market. Here you'll find all kinds of meats, from beef and pork to alpaca and guinea pig. You can also find fresh seafood, such as trout and shrimp, caught from nearby rivers and lakes. Handicrafts and Souvenirs In addition to food products, San Pedro Market offers a wide selection of handicrafts and souvenirs. You can find everything from alpaca wool scarves and hats to silver jewelry and Peruvian musical instruments. It's a great place to pick up unique gifts and souvenirs to take back home. San Pedro Market is a must-visit destination for anyone exploring Cusco. It's a vibrant and colorful marketplace that offers a true glimpse into Peruvian culture. Whether you're a foodie, a shopper, or a photographer, you'll find something to love at San Pedro Market. So be sure to bring your camera, your appetite, and your sense of adventure! Walking Through History: Discovering Incan Ruins One of the best ways to immerse yourself in the rich history of Cusco is to stroll through the ancient Incan ruins that dot the city and the surrounding hills. These magnificent structures were built using extraordinary engineering techniques and provide a fascinating showcase of ancient architecture and culture. The most famous of these ruins is Machu Picchu, but there are many other hidden gems to explore. Sacsayhuaman The fortress of Sacsayhuaman is one of the most impressive Incan ruins in the area. It was constructed using massive, perfectly shaped stone blocks that were fitted together so tightly that not even a blade of grass could pass between them. The fortress was used to protect Cusco from invading armies and is now a popular tourist attraction. Visitors can explore the walls, guard towers, and underground tunnels of this awe-inspiring structure. Qorikancha The Qorikancha was one of the most important religious sites in the Incan Empire. It was an exceptionally ornate temple that was covered in gold, silver, and precious stones. The temple was dedicated to Inti, the Incan sun god, and was considered the most sacred site in the empire. Today, visitors can explore the restored ruins of the Qorikancha and marvel at the exquisite stonework and intricate carvings that remain. Moray The agricultural terraces of Moray are an architectural marvel that is still baffling scientists today. The terraces are shaped like giant concentric circles that descend into the earth, and they were used by the Incas to test the effects of different growing conditions on crops. Because the temperature and moisture level can vary significantly between the top and bottom levels, the Incas were able to create highly specialized growing conditions that allowed them to cultivate a wide range of crops in the high Andean climate. Tipon The hydraulic system at Tipon is a testament to the Incan's exceptional engineering skills. The system consists of a series of channels, dams, and terraces that were used to irrigate crops on the steep slopes of the Andes.

From there, a short bus ride takes you to the entrance of Machu Picchu. Discovering the Ruins Once inside, visitors can explore the ruins at their leisure. A popular spot for photos is the Intihuatana Stone, which is believed to have been used as a solar clock by the Incas. Other fascinating sites include the Temple of the Sun and the Royal Tomb. Make sure to bring comfortable shoes and plenty of water as the altitude can be challenging. Sunrise at Machu Picchu One of the most stunning experiences at Machu Picchu is watching the sunrise over the ruins. If you're up for an early start, consider queuing up before dawn to be one of the first to enter the site and watch the sun break over the mountains. Tips for Visitors Visitors should note that Machu Picchu is a popular destination, so it's best to arrive early to avoid crowds. The site can also get chilly, so bring layers. Finally, be sure to follow all rules and regulations to preserve the site for future generations.

Drinking Green Tea May Help You Lose Weight

A number of small but respectable clinical trials have found that overweight people who had green tea—either in drinkable form or in extract form—lost more weight than people who didn’t have any. Science being science, there are also a few studies that showed no benefit from green tea drinks or supplements. Overall, “I would say it may assist modestly,” says Kristin Kirkpatrick, R.D.N., consultant for Integrative and Lifestyle Medicine for the Cleveland Clinic. Therefore, only a few fat loss supplements have real evidence to support their use. Time and time again, the beneficial effect from these supplements comes when combined with exercise training. It's best taken regularly throughout the day but at least, at most minimum twice a day. Researchers focused on decaffeinated green tea because the literature shows that caffeine has a stimulatory effect.

ONE | TWO | THREE | FOUR

Two years of pocket change and Seungmin had finally saved up enough money to afford to study abroad. It had nearly taken him life and limb, and he might’ve suffered (1) concussion from a bowl of soup being thrown at his head, but, he had done it. 

With grease stains on his sneakers Seungmin traversed the long and stretching corridor of the airport terminal with his backpack strapped onto him tightly. The air smelled different here. It was fresher than he was used to--coming from a large city center--everything here felt more pristine. Outside of the tall glass windows, airplanes lifted off into the sky like massive metal giants. He couldn’t remember properly, but the last time that he must’ve been on a plane, it likely had been when his mother...

Seungmin shook the dusty and cobwebbed ideas out from his head. 

No more sad thoughts. 

I’m gonna like it here. He thought to himself, then clipped the little buckle to his backpack straps over his chest with a determined huff. 

I’m really going to like it here. 

With his phone in hand, he tried his best to decipher what the signs said above him. Mostly, they looked like a jumbled mess of symbols, but luckily he had spent some time trying to learn the language between shifts and sneaking peeks at his little dictionary under the diner counter. The whole terminal buzzed with a lovely kind of energy, and he was thrilled to get to know it better. The first wonderful thing about travelling abroad was that no one knew who he was, and he could be whoever he wanted. In this new land, no one knew him or anything about the dingy little apartment that he had lived in. No one knew about his less than honorable roommates or the debt that he had put himself under to go to college in the first place. 

I could be a prince for all they know. 

Seungmin liked that idea a lot. 

His stomach grumbled as he passed by food stands, however he hadn’t had the chance yet to change his currency, so he knew that he would have to wait just a minute longer. Seungmin had been assigned a host family by his college, and he hoped like crazy that they would be the kind to cook for him. Seungmin had heard somewhere that kids who go on study abroad gain a ton of weight at first...but he didn’t mind. Where else would he get the chance? 

There had been a host father that had sent him an email a couple weeks ago--that he promptly had to run through Google Translate--who told him that he would meet him outside the main luggage claim area after his flight landed. Seungmin had tried to look up and see if his host family were on social media, but he could find no such profile of theirs. He decided it probably was better that it was a surprise. 

Seungmin lugged his two large suitcases out to the summer air of the new and strange land, and it finally hit him. Standing on the solid ground of another land thousands of miles away from his home, it was really all happening. 

The landscape outside was like that of a movie scene: rolling hills and jagged mountains capped with snow, adorable little homes built into the countryside and tiny cars with horizonal license plates. The sun was warm in the cerulean sky that puffed with perfectly white clouds. On the air, the scent of flowers wafted, and he was certain that there was a lake nearby too--he had researched it. There were old men in their caps with a crook in their back, and ladies with long floral skirts and dresses with Mary Janes. Each of them had smile lines on their faces and under their eyes as if they had all lived lives well lived. There were pretty girls too with slender legs and delicate arms swaddled in light scarves. 

Seungmin wouldn’t have minded getting a girlfriend on this trip. While he kept the fact to himself, Seungmin had never really done anything with a girl before outside of some awkwardly handsy kissing in middle school. Maybe this time around, he would finally get his chance: he had read somewhere that girls often like foreigners. 

“Seung Min! Seung Min?” A man’s voice called. 

The young college student whipped his head around in the direction of the sound, finally finding a middle aged man with salt-and-pepper hair with whiskers of the same color. He had red cheeks and a large nose, and looked a bit like a character from a comic. Seungmin waved back, greeting his new father. When they met, the older man threw him into a large hug with a chuckle. He smelled a bit like Tabaco and old leather. He had a couple missing teeth, but that didn’t lessen his bright smile. 

“English?” Seungmin’s host father asked. 

“Yeah! I can speak English.” He returned with a welcoming grin. 

“I thought it would be good for us to speak English since I don’t know your tongue and you don’t know mine...meet in the middle?” 

“Thank you for coming to get me!” He said, handing the man his suitcases which were just a bit too big for the tiny trunk of the car that looked as if it had come from the 80′s. In the end, they decided to put his bags in the backseat. 

The man beamed with smiling eyes. “Of course...son!” 

Seungmin gave him a little bow, “Heh, thank you.”

“Get in the car! You must be hungry right? Long flight?”

“Oh yes, it was really long.” 

“You will eat well here! Mother knows how to feed well. She will put meat on your bones. She did with me!” He guffawed out with hearty laughter, and Seungmin already knew that he would really like this man. 

“We have a room ready for you back at home, and I will show you tomorrow how to use the buses. Okay?” 

Seungmin nodded with a bit of rose to his cheeks. He found his hand wandering down to his arm which he pinched at lightly--cliché as it was. His host father coughed and the engine sputtered, then they took off away from the sounds of jet engines to the countryside which was scattered with churches with protruding steeples and all kinds of homes with red-orange roofs and perfectly symmetrical windows. Seungmin couldn’t help but keep his eyes glued to the window as they drove on to take in the whole scene. Never had he seen a place so beautiful or magical looking. They drove on past a crystal clear lake that stretched on and on to the base of a mountain appearing to claw at the heavens, and adorned in emerald green pines and other deciduous trees. If it was even possible, he had never seen greener grass in all his life. 

“Beautiful, eh?” His host father said while tuning the radio. 

“It’s amazing.” The young student said in his amazement. “Oh, do you know if there is somewhere I can change my money? I don’t have any of your money yet.” 

“Ah!” The older man said with a wink. “I know of a place. I can take you there first.” 

The radio hummed with a static fuzz as Seungmin’s host father messed with it, skipping over the channels, blurring the music and the talk radio all together. 

Seungmin tried out the best he could to make out the words he knew, but even then he didn’t focus too hard, not when he had all this to take in. 

Mad....crime....joke...violence in the South...drugs...unknown...information...hiding...red... 

“Ah!” His host father called out after changing the channel once more, “I love this song!” He held his chest with an affectionate grasp. “The song of my homeland!” 

Seungmin whipped his attention back, trying to listen to the song that sounded anthem-like, and was sung by what sounded like several men harmonizing. Seungmin tried to focus on the melody--it was nothing like he head heard before. It sounded very...honorable. 

The small car whipped up to what looked to be a gas station on the edge of the town with one single pump and a little convenience store attached to it. In the window he read the yellow and black sign saying Currency Exchange. 

“This is what you need?” 

Seungmin nodded in his thanks then stretched his legs out once he exited, slinging his bag over his shoulder. “Are you coming too?” 

The older man shook his head and took out a pack of cigarettes. “I’ll gas the car, you go in.” 

The young man gave his host father one more nod, then set fourth inhaling the immaculate summer air into his lungs. It was as if the very oxygen there held the vitality of life; he almost felt bad wasting it on himself. 

The door swung open with the tiny tinkling of bells and he entered to the smell of cured meats hanging on hooks along side the dry scent of the refrigerators holding their display of soft drinks with labels that he had never seen before. He chuckled a little seeing the giant slab of meat with twine hanging from the ceiling as such. 

“Free sample?” The attendant said while he picked his teeth with a toothpick. “Foreigner?” He added after looking Seungmin up and down. 

“Yes, and no thank you. But, can I exchange my currency here?” 

The unamused man nodded in the direction of the little kiosk in the corner of the shop. He went back to reading his tabloid where he slumped in a stool surrounded by an assortment of candy and cookies. 

Seungmin picked his mother tongue first on the little screen, robotic and green, thankful to see Korean for the first time in this new place. He navigated to the options screen. Behind him, the little bells tinkled to the shop door again, followed by the sound of the attendant scrambling out of his stool, metal legs scraping the floor. 

The student turned his head around in the commotion, taking in four very strange looking customers. Firstly, they were all covered in blood in one way or another, and each of them wore clothes--pajamas from the looks of it--which were shredded, torn, and blackened by something that might’ve been soot. Three men and one woman, and they all had a bit of a crazed look to their eyes. Clearly, none of them cared that they had walked into the store looking as such. 

Seungmin pressed his body to the corner of the shop, as if this could make him invisible. The attendant cowered behind the counter with a series of scared sounding whimpers. 

“Wh-what do you want?” He asked in his native tongue with quaking breaths. 

One of the men in the group wearing a flannel with chocolate brown hair threw open one of the fridges, took out a water bottle, cracked it open, then greedily slugged the liquid down his throat. 

“Pay the man, Fox.” He said to a man with pure white hair and shattered glasses. 

The man with white hair and glasses nodded, digging through his pockets. The man with the flannel then proceeded to revenge the place, opening up snacks and shoving the cheesy dust into his mouth with gluttonous moans and crunching loudly with an open mouth. Had he not been doing something as unsavory as such, Seungmin thought that he was pretty handsome, and somewhat familiar. The other three simply stood and watched as he did so calmly, and surveyed the shelves themselves after a moment. 

The attendant clocked Seungmin with fearful and confused eyes and Seungmin truly didn’t know what to do besides melt into the corner with the currency exchange kiosk. 

A man in running clothes ran a hand through his deep brown hair, then turned to grab several first-aid supplies in his hand. Seungmin noticed that he had a horrible gash over his eye that crusted and bled into the white of his sclera. The woman approached the attendant with arms crossed over her thin camisole that was stained a number of different colors which Seungmin didn’t want to identify. He noticed that she was only wearing white socks that were nearly stained green. 

“You do currency exchange right?” She said with a bold kind of confidence. “EGP?” 

The attendant shook in his boots, then pointed a trembling finger at Seungmin. The young man nearly felt his heart stop. The woman had stern eyes that were bagged with exhaustion, but that didn’t make her any less intimating. While she too looked a wreck, there was something about her so cold and threatening that Seungmin felt like crumpling up into a ball. Over it all, she was startlingly beautiful too. 

“Are you done?” She asked him kindly, and Seungmin struggled to get out a feeble “yes.” Of course, he hadn’t actually drawn any money out yet, but this seemed to be the best answer. 

The man in running clothes dumped a large arrangement of goods on the counter with an emotionless expression: coffee drinks, shooters of alcohol, gauze and tape, Band-Aids, anti-bacterial ointment, gum, a couple lighters and toothpaste with four tooth brushes, combs, several bottles of water, sour candy, and, oddly, condoms. 

The man with white hair came behind him to provide the cash to pay, and the attendant rang the odd group up with nervous glances to the man in the flannel who destroyed the store further. That man laughed maniacally as he popped open the plastic packaging to a pastry, then shoved in as of much of it as he could, smearing white cream over his lips. 

“Bee!! You have to try this!! A day driving through the woods and this is fucking fantastic!” He jumped up and down like an ecstatic toddler--but this was a strange juxtaposition to all the blood staining his arms and the fabric of his flannel. 

“Have some decency, Your Highness.” The woman chided, then held out her hand as the bills dispensed from the little machine. 

“Your Highness?” Seungmin muttered, not really understanding why he was still in there in the first place. 

“Fucking scam.” She muttered. “Is this all that you have??” She growled at the attendant. 

“It’s a little thing!! What do you expect??” He stammered with hands thrown in the air as if she had pointed a gun at his head. 

“F, tell Carroll to wire us when we get to Egypt. This’ll barely get us a place to stay.” 

“When I get internet access, sure, I’ll try my best.” The man with white hair said with an edge to his voice, sarcasm clearly giving it a type of bite. He then took to shoving all of their goods into plastic bags since the attendant had been too fearful to do so. He slid a few spare bills onto the countertop. “This is for everything that he ate.”  

“Do you have a bathroom?” The woman demanded, and the shopkeeper nodded, giving one more fearful glance to the college student. 

“Is there somewhere around here to get clothes?” The man with running clothes asked. 

“I-In town, a couple minutes in--” 

Outside of the little store, the sound of tires screeching on cement screamed, and all four of the strangers whipped their heads in the direction. Seungmin jumped too at the sound, and held his backpack to his chest tightly as if it were some kind of safety vest. 

The four strangers gravely exchanged terrified glances before throwing their bodies to the floor without a word. 

“GET DOWN!” The woman screamed, and in milliseconds, the rapid-fire crack of machine gun bullets came shattering the glass of the convenience store. 

Seungmin too threw all of his weight to land on his stomach on the cold linoleum floors and pressed his cheek against it while his ears rang. Tiny shards of glass pricked at his hands, but this adrenaline didn’t even let him feel the pain. He was certain that he must’ve been hyperventilating, because the room had started to spin among the relentless sounds of metal shells hitting the ground and metal shelves being upended from the force. The room filled with the smell of dozen different kinds of foods as packaging was ripped open and food and drink came spilling to the ground. The shopkeeper whimpered out loud prayers in his native tongue while he hid behind the counter. 

Out of the corner of his eye, he watched as three of the strangers whipped out hand guns from their waistbands and knelt down behind the remaining shelves to shoot back at the black van outside. 

Seungmin pinched his arm with eyes shut. 

He wished he hadn’t. 

oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck. He bit the words into his lip. 

“Hey kid!” The man with white hair growled at him. “You okay?” 

While the two of them looked nearly to be the same age, this other man with snow white hair seemed to know what he was doing, so Seungmin decided to take the smallest bit of solace in that over the deafening sound of bullets. 

“I-I think so?!” 

“Keep your head down!” He said with gritted teeth, then angled his gun with a squinted eye. 

“Bee??? Bee?” The fourth man with the flannel cried. 

“Head. Down.” She said while firing more shots. 

The room filled with a thin haze, and Seungmin covered his ears with bloody fingers. 

The strangers fired their guns until there was nothing left, then escaped hiding behind the shelves with heaving chests. The young man had curled up into the fetal position, mouth feeling deathly dry with hot tears streaming down his cheeks. 

Seungmin didn’t know that he had gone on this trip for his life to end. 

How fucking cruel fate was. 

His body shook, and he clung to his bag for dear life, waiting for it all to end, and for his time to come. Seungmin would’ve thought that in the moments before he had died, he wanted to think of all the good things that had happened in his life, but, he was disappointed to find that all he could come up with was fear. 

“Did you get a look at him?” One of the strangers yelled on the other side of Seungmin’s muffled ears. 

“NO!” One of them barked back. 

“He was wearing the crest!! The red!!” The woman called out. 

The world was black behind his eyelids, but anything was better than the scene that was actually unfolding before the terrified college student. Soon, the sounds faded, and Seungmin was then really convinced that it had finally happened. This was it. He was even still scared to open his eyes. 

A grip at his arm pulled him up. 

“You okay? They’re gone. You kinda blacked out there for a second.” It was the woman had pulled him up to his feet. 

His head spun seeing the carnage of the destroyed store, and the student became dizzier by the second. 

“I-I think I’m about to black out again--” His knees felt week and his vision blurred. 

“Hey! Hey!” One of the other strangers, the one with the running clothes scooped him back up and gave a light pat to his face. “You’re alright! See?” 

Miraculously, Seungmin really was unscathed. 

“Who-who are you? Who...who the hell were they? What the FUCK was that?” 

The four of them exchanged glances once more, communicating some kind of silent understanding between all of them. 

“What’s your name kid?” The white-haired one said as he put his gun back into his waistband. 

“S-Seungmin?” 

“Ok Seungmin, there’s a lot going on here that you really shouldn’t be aware of, and there's a lot of answers that I can’t give you, I just need to to trust me, alright?” 

“O-okay?” 

Now that the shop was devoid of windows, the summer breeze came blowing into the store--an odd contrast to the mess that was made all over the glass shards and food. 

“You’re safe now. They’ve gone. No one can hurt you.” 

“A-are you sure about that?” 

“We need to get going. I don’t know why the hell they leaved when they had us cornered, but we can’t be here for long.” The man in running clothes said with a tentative bite to his lip. 

The woman nodded. “You’re right Two.”

“What do we do with him though?” The man supposedly named Two said, motioning to Seungmin. 

“D-do?” His eyes widened to frightful full moons. “D-do????” 

“We take him with?” The man in the flannel suggested and shrugged. 

The woman rolled her eyes. “You don’t call the shots on stuff like this, Your Highness.” 

“H-Highness? What??” Seungmin blabbered. 

The man with white hair snatched the young student’s bag from his hands. “You got a laptop in that bag of yours?” 

“--H-HEY!” 

He man pulled out Seungmin’s dismal Chromebook that he had also saved several months for. 

“Hm. This will do.” 

“I guess we don’t have any other choice...” The woman rolled her eyes. “Introductions later. They could be coming back.” 

“Hey, HEY!” The shopkeeper yelled, then rose from his hiding place to look in despair at his destroyed shop, and his aging cured meat slab stuck with bullet holes on the floor. 

“We’ll take care of it all. We apologize.” The man in the flannel bowed deeply. 

Sunlight stung Seungmin’s strained eyes, and he realized that he had completely forgotten about his host father in his little car from the 80′s. To his surprise, the little car was nowhere to be seen. 

“M-my dad??” He said under his breath, also realizing that all of his belongings had gone with the man too. All he now had left to his name was his passport, a spare set of clothes, his laptop, and a couple school journals. 

“Get in.” The man named Two said while throwing open the door, but then gave him squinted wink. “Been to Egypt before?” 

━━━━━━━━━▲━━━━━━━━━

“This mission is fucked.” Jeongin muttered to you, voice echoing slightly in the cobblestone alley. 

“Yeah, it certainly seems like it.” 

You fiddled with you new blouse. It was two times as itchy as you had expected and two times as expensive, but you had been desperate. With all of the spare supplies destroyed in the bombing, you and your partner had found yourselves hopelessly empty handed. 

“Carroll is gonna have our asses. Fuck...” Jeongin slicked a hand through his hair with a bandaged arm. “We can’t take that kid to Egypt with us!! We already have to be on high alert for the prince...and now this??” 

Your partner threw his head back incredulously against the brick wall, then stopped to watch the rest of the group sitting outside of the café and garnering odd glances from passerby's. 

“Well what the hell else to do we do??” 

Jeongin shrugged, then looking to the side shamefully. “You...know what the protocol is. We can’t stay here to watch over him until someone from the agency comes...and, we’re running out of time...White Rabbit is waiting for our correspondence..” 

“Absolutely not.” 

The poor young kid, naïve as he was, you couldn’t but help but feel bad for him. Not only was he all alone out there as he had explained, it appeared as if his host father had made off with all of his things too. It was hard to not pity the kid. 

“Y/n, you know that he’ll only drag us down. If we take him with, his life becomes our problem. If he dies, we’ll have to answer to whoever his family is and we both know that could get messy. We already have a mission: get the intel, then get the prince home. Not take that kid along with us for the joyride.” 

“You’re forgetting that they’ve seen him with us now. He’s associated with us. If we leave him in the dust, there’s gonna be an innocent kid dead in a foreign land, and it’ll be our fault for letting that happen. Do you want that to happen?” 

Your partner sucked at his teeth in thought for a moment, then groaned out. 

“I really fucking hate this babysitting thing.” 

“It’s the three of us and the two of them. The odds are still pretty much in our favor.” 

“It’s still dangerous odds.” Jeongin threw his hands onto his hips, then paced the length of the alley for a small stretch. “As of now, you’re assigned to the prince. Forget about the kid, Two and I will worry about him. The prince is the priority. If shit hits the fan, don’t even think twice, take the prince and get out. Okay? You should never leave his side.” 

You nodded in agreement, feeling a sneaky sense of pride. After all of the chaos and the uncertainty, Jeongin was really coming into his own. 

From the little patio where the others were, it looked as if Chan and Seungmin were getting a long swimmingly. You assumed that it had something to do with shared trauma. Weirdly, Chan had taken to the young man like a bit of a pet. Knowing all that the prince was going through, it made sense...perhaps this also could’ve explained why he had kissed you more than once. Anyone in his position would’ve acted as frantic as such--at least, this was what you had convinced yourself. 

Two sat with the two men wearing thick black sunglasses to hide his gnarly eye wound, sipping espresso. Jeongin started walking back towards the group when you grabbed at his arm. 

“--Wait, I need to talk to you about one more thing?” 

Your partner’s rather gaudy Hawaiian-themed shirt flapped in the breeze. “What’s that?” 

You drew him in closer. “What do you make of Two? He doesn’t strike you as suspicious?” 

“Suspicious? Why?” 

“I-I don’t know...it’s just a feeling that I’m getting. We know next to nothing about him--” 

“--But isn’t that how this goes? We’re not supposed to know things about each other? That’s the point? He’s stuck with us this far...and...” 

A couple passed by the two of you with linked arms, and Jeongin stopped his thought out of distrust of the two of them listening in. 

His voice lowered even further, “If Carroll trusts him, so should we.” The young man nodded, then patted your scratched shoulder. You winced, and he quickly apologized. “It’s...fine that you’re suspicious. Its best for us to be, you know?” 

“Expect the unexpected?” 

Your partner dished out a little eyeroll, “Yeah. Something like that.” 

━━━━━━━━━▲━━━━━━━━━

It was as if His Royal Highness Prince Chan had never seen the inside of a public airport before. Everything was just so novel to him, and he gasped out at all the little trinkets and tchotchkes. 

As excited as he was, he still tried his best to keep a solid composure under his disguise: a cap, a hoodie, and thick framed sunglasses. The royal didn’t look the most non-descript, but you figured that it was better than nothing. 

The young kid sulked seeing the inside of the airport once more, as he had claimed that he had just left from there. You still didn’t know what to make of him all the way, but at least you could tell that he had a good heart. While in the car he told you and your companions how he had saved up all this money to travel, studied the language and arranged to go to school here too. While all of his plans had been thwarted, at least the kid was still getting to travel...with a price on his head...but still...he was getting to travel. 

Now that Jeongin had been able to contact HQ thanks to the kid’s computer, everything was arranged. Flight tickets, sleeping arrangements, supplies and Bun even knew that you were on your way. You had little desire to see that man considering how you had heard that he was one to live up to his eccentric reputation, but there was little other choice. Jeongin’s words ran through and through your head, “If Carroll trusts him, so should we.” 

Over it all, it was the prince who had worried you most. He was out in the open, and undoubtedly whoever those bastards were with the red crests would be close on your tail. Your neck strained with a pain that only seemed to grow stronger with every corner that you turned to ensure that no one was there. While the handsome prince liked to joke about how his life was on your hands, it was much more serious than that. 

You had seen the fear in his eyes that night--it was so tangible that you could practically hold in your hands. He was a man terrified of death, and he knew that he had little control over it. You had control over it, but you knew that you could only stretch yourself so far. 

Your group of five neared your gate in the international terminal lined with several dozen different kinds of multi-colored flags. You situated yourself between Two and the Prince on one of the thin teal chairs with flattened cushions. Chan tapped his hands on this knees impatiently as he inspected the place. 

“Kind of exciting isn’t it?” He said with a tiny grin. 

“What?” You moved to look at him with his obscured features. “Exciting?” 

“Yeah, you know, travelling together. It kind of feels like an adventure. I mean, they’ve got a gun to our heads, but at least we’re together right?” 

You scoffed, simply amused at how he had taken the severity out of the situation. It was clear that this prince knew little about the concept of perspective. 

“I’m not following.” 

“I get that...we need to be careful, but who said that we can’t, say, enjoy the journey?” 

“You’re saying that you want us to have fun while we’re running for our lives?” 

The prince smiled. “You know that I like having fun. That and...I’m just trying to be optimistic.” Under his cap, he slicked his brown strands back. “The three of you seem to be so tense all the time. Obviously, that can’t be good for your health--” 

You cracked out with laughter. “You’re being ludicrous, Your Highness. We have to be on high alert at all times--” 

“I said, that you could call me Chan, remember?” He rather languidly spread out his legs in his seat, removing his glasses for moment. “How about, when we go to Egypt, I take you out somewhere nice to eat? We can relax, talk, get to know eachother more--” 

You raised your hand up to silence him. “--If this is just a ploy to get me alone, I politely rescind the offer. Here I was thinking that you were concerned about all three of us...” 

“--I am!” Chan quickly piped, “I-I’ll take you all out for dinner! But...but...you’ll have to allow me to take you out for drink then. Just the two of us. I still hold to my word of wanting to get to know you.” 

The prince’s face was puffed and bloated, and scraped with little pink and red cuts, but nothing stopped him from pulling out his signature charming and persuasive grin. 

“Try to kiss me again, and I won’t hesitate. You might be royalty but I don’t ca--” 

“--Hmmm no promises.” Chan then cut in, his grin turned even more indulgent while you watched him inspect your frame in that god-awful scratchy blouse. 

Next to you, Two let out a particularly amused sounding scoff of a laugh. 

“Forward as ever, Your Highness.” Jeongin deadpanned, then buried his nose in his coffee and newspaper once again. He hadn’t gotten to finish doing so earlier. 

Seungmin, the young student stifled his own laughter which then gradually got louder and louder. “I can’t fucking believe this. Me. Kim Seungmin, the most normal-ass person in the whole world with you four: a fucking prince, secret agents...and now we’re going to Egypt??? Egypt???” 

“Why does that sound like the set up to a shitty joke?” Two popped a bubble he had blown with the gum from the convenience store. Turns out he actually had a bit of a “gum habit” as he called it. 

“Settle down kid.” Jeongin said without his eyes leaving his paper. “You’ll make a scene.” 

The prince yawned, sliding his sunglasses back on. 

“I never really did end up getting as much sleep as I would’ve liked.” If you could’ve seen his eyes, you would’ve then seen him eye your shoulder. “May I?” he politely asked. 

Rather than giving him an answer, you rolled your head around as if to say do I need to? 

Chan let out a happy little hum after resting his head on your shoulder, nuzzling in slightly. 

You met your partner’s side eye, and he repeated for you, I really fucking hate this babysitting thing. 

“Thank you Bee.” Chan softly muttered, almost too quiet for you to hear. “I really do owe you everything.” He was careful at first, but he reached out his hand to rest it atop of yours. While the action made you twitch at first, you remembered how the same action had calmed him in the van when you had escaped the gala. 

You told yourself that you were just being nice. 

The young kid pulled out a journal from his backpack and started scribbling something, Two popped a bubble, snapping it on his unnaturally white teeth, and Jeongin sipped at his coffee. 

This really was the set up to a shitty joke. 

A woman cleared her throat over the intercom and announced, Flight C1180 to Cairo will be boarding in one hour. Thank you for flying with us today.

A scribblebit from a barely-researched idea of Bly with DID, post-Order 66.

---

"This is a security breach waiting to happen." 5052 points at the chip on the holographic scans. "The Emperor has already demonstrated that it can be used to override our own decision-making abilities. His timing was acceptable for the operation, but unnecessary losses were taken because we couldn't plan." CC-1004/Gree is dead. 5052 and Bly don't even need to look at the casualty reports to know that. They remember who he was serving under on Kashykk. "If someone else were to find a way in, we could be used against the Empire."

CT-[numbers]/Carrion gives him a sardonic look. "We could. Is this leading where I think it's leading?"

5052 gives his CMO a look. "I want a solution. I want them disabled, and I want it untraceable."

"The Emperor might not approve."

"The Emperor has already demonstrated that he should stick to issuing orders and let us figure out how to carry them out." This would be a lot easier with CC-1004/Gree working with them. He was always good at coming at problems sideways. And he would have accepted 5052 and Bly.

Clones and their College Major Vibes

I’ve been really digging modern Star Wars AUs lately and I am sucker for college AUs, so I decided to make some headcanons for some various clone boys if anyone needs inspiration! This isn’t everyone, it just the ones I know the most about, but if anyone wants some for other clones or characters, I will totally do an another!

-Rex: Health and exercise science major (I could totally see Rex being a physical therapist; the RA that is tired of your shit, for the love of God just follow the rules and have some common sense for once in your dumber than a pigeon’s brain

-Fives: Psychology major; guy who waited to last the minute to decide what he’ll major, panicked and picked psychology because it seemed more interesting than communications, but turns out he’s really good at it and wants to be therapist after college

-Echo: Psychology major with a concentration in neurology; He’s the psych major that knew he wanted to be a psych major since high school because he wants to be a neuroscientist and will fight anyone who says his degree his useless

 -Jesse: Business major (he strikes as a business major, don’t know why); the frat guy who managed to crawl out his bed to attain his 8AM massively hungover and you and him both wonder how he is still alive

-Kix: Premed major (shocking I know); the guy who shows up to your 8AM in an Armani suit and has a double shot espresso, caramel macchiato, light foam, and with oat milk in his hands at all times

-Hardcase: Communications major; He’s the one person in his major classes that actually wanted to be a communications major and is super fun to be around, but runs 10 minutes late to class because he has to pet every dog on campus that he comes across

-Dogma: Political science major; he’s THAT kid in the Honors College (don’t act better than me, we literally go to same school and I got into the research program and the honors college, did you?)

(Sorry Dogma stans, projected on Dogma a little bit)

-Tup: Art major; kinda basic, but really nice and says hello to everyone he walks by and has pretty notes

-Cody: Pre-Law and history double major; that one frat guy who has his shit together and is basically the Dad of the frat, also is his frat’s president

-Wolffe: History major with a concentration in history education; the guy that looks grumpy and is grumpy most of the time, but would totally walk you anywhere if you felt unsafe or wait with you until your ride showed up

-Bly: Elementary education major; he’s the guy you’re mom tells you the marry because he is HUSBAND MATERIAL, but he is in a committed relationship and is probably going to marry his girlfriend as soon as they graduate 

-Gree: Biology and linguistics double major; the kid that everyone made fun of in high school for being nerdy but people love him college because he’s super helpful with difficult homework, but he does have a weird obsession with aliens so do with that what you will and his room smells a little bit like a skunk, if you know what I mean

-Fox: Political science and criminal justice double major; that guy who never gets enough sleep and has a severe caffeine addiction, if you are behind him in the ordering line of the campus coffee shop, you are going to be concern for his well-being (”Can I get five extra espresso shots in that?” “Damn, bitch, just do cocaine”); he’s also super ambitious and while you might think that means he’ll slit your throat if you get a higher grade than him on an assignment, he actually just has extremely high standards for himself (he’s a nice Slytherin and you can pry that headcanon from my cold, dead hands)

-Hunter: Biology major with a concentration in ecology; that guy who looks very tough and cool, but is a complete and utter massive dork (you saw him trip up the stairs going to get lunch and you have also seen him cry over a fawn that had wondered onto campus because it was too small and where was their mama???)

-Crosshair: Math major (I saw a headcanon somewhere that Crosshair is amazing at math due to being a sniper and honestly, I can see it); is friends with the physics major that has literally no impulse control and has helped them calculate the perfect angle to cause mass chaos in your dorm because f the establishment

-Tech: Computer science and engineering double major; guy during finals who has been in his same spot in the library for who knows how long and never seems to blink; also doesn’t get enough sleep but never seems to bother him and thank God, because his roommate banned him from caffeine after the Incident 

-Wrecker: Physics major; is the physics major that has no impulse control; super sweet, but has a penchant for being the reason why you have to evacuate your dorm at 2am because he left his mac-n-cheese cup in the microwave for too long

Lesser-known Clones: First Impressions

So I've been interested in learning more about some of the other clones out there. I have my list of 15 I go through for headcanons. My bois💙 But curious about these other names I see floating around....

I'll do more research eventually, but here are my first impressions of their characters, based solely on their Wookiepedia pic (like clone tinder lmao):

Gree, aka Double Mohawk

Has a weird sense of humor.

On the older side and it's recently started to show.

Likes to keep busy.

(That’s seriously the dumbest haircut I’ve seen in this show.)

Bly, aka Jesse Williams

Looks judgmental and is judgmental.

Very clean and organized.

Doesn't drink.

(Wait, are those bandaids on his cheeks??)

Neyo, aka Barcode

Actually really serious, doesn't joke around a lot.

Reads in his spare time.

Wears strong cologne.

(Good lord his hair is so slick and suave, hot damn.)

Appo, aka Standard Issue

Tells really boring stories.

Hates cats.

Authority kink.

(This pic isn’t giving me much, he looks pretty normal.)

Ponds, aka Snuggles

Looks like he'd give nice hugs, idk why.

Gets cold easily.

Has a scary good memory.

(Why do I want to like him? Is he good? Tell me he’s good.)

Blackout, aka Badass Mofo

Very mysterious, nobody knows a single thing about him.

Doesn't talk, only grunts.

Collects keychains.

(His helmet looks hand-painted and I think that’s very cute of him.)

Keeli, aka Pretty Boy

Total morning person.

Is good at literally everything.

Foodie.

(Holy hell there goes my ovaries.)

Alright fans, on a scale from Crosshair to Stormtrooper, how far did I miss the target?? 😆 🙈 Someone give me the low-down on these guys, I need to know now. Also, who are some other clones I need to know about?
