2023.06.03 21:06 Trash_Tia Camp Redwood are running out of counselors! These children ARE NOT CHILDREN. Update: our counsellors are not who they say they are.

Welcome to Camp Redwood! The feel-good camp for ALL AGES.
We toast marshmallows around the fire, tell spooky ghost stories, and hide in random secret military bunkers under the campgrounds! Because SOMETHING IS HERE WITH US.
Camp Redwood is the PERFECT PLACE for a summer getaway where we start EVERY DAY with a CAMP REDWOOD SMILE. Where our counselors disappear every five minutes, and our campers disembowel us for funsies! Did I forget to mention our littles aren’t actually eight years old, but fully grown adults?
We hope you enjoy your fucking stay!
We are also not responsible for any counselors revealing they are not who they said they are—and not who they appear to be.
...
So. There’s a LOT to tell you and not a lot of time to tell it.
Right now, I suppose you could say we are under lockdown—if that is the word. I want to go over the last several days so get you up to date. That’s all I can do right now. I can hope and pray the thing with Teddy’s voice does not get in here, and once again cry out for help—that I know is not coming. Not from the authorities, at least. But hey, if any of you fancy coming to rescue us, we’re in the middle of the Canadian wilderness. The closest rest-stop is maybe three fucking hours away. So have fun. Has it really almost been a week since I posted? Well, we’re still here!
And surprise, surprise, help is not coming. So, please excuse the salt. I am seventeen years old and I have been abandoned by the adults who were supposed to be looking after us.
Who were supposed to act under protocol if something like this happened. I know they were waiting for it—there are specific fucking guidelines on an emergency evacuation for counselors if this ever happened. But then the little shits took over before we could do anything. I guess I’ll start by letting you know that there are two of us left. (three, if we count Rowan, but I’m not). What I thought was going to be a quiet summer getaway with kids my age has turned into a nightmare.
For one, we have been cornered inside the head counselor’s underground secret bunker. If you want to know why she has a secret military bunker, I guess you should keep reading.
Because shit gets weirder than animal crackers having the power to turn adults into kids, and vice versa. When I made my first post, I thought that was it for us. I thought for sure there must have been a self-destruct somewhere—which meant whoever was running this camp was waiting for something like this. I was sure we were going to die, so after making the post, I have to admit with ya’ll—I just slept. I curled up, tried to ignore Harry and Carmel calling our names through childish laugher, and went to sleep with the thought in my head that I was completely at peace with what I had done with my life.
Sure, I was young. Seventeen years old is too young to be ripped apart by littles who are in fact grown adults. But as I was falling into slumber and allowing myself to fall, with my head resting in my lap, my head turned towards a separate pile of files on the other side of the room—I realized I really wanted to know how this was possible. There was so much I needed to know. Why did eight-year-old Eleanor Summers have a file where here birthday dated back to 1979? Why had supposedly innocent sugary snacks turned our adorable littles into mini psychopaths?
These kids were not kids, somehow. But how? How was that even possible? Could it be that the files were wrong?
1979 was definitely 45.
But Eleanor Summers couldn’t be 45 years old. I knew what 45 looked like. I knew that they thought like. They spent half of their time on Facebook laughing at outdated memes, and the other half… I don’t know, working? They have job’s! They’re happily married with kids, maybe soon grandkids! That was not Eleanor Summers. Because Eleanor Summers was most definitely eight years old. I had played several rounds of teddy-bears picnic, and spent hours reassuring her that Harry's ghost stories were in fact not real, enough times for me to know that this little kid was little—and a kid.
But something was bothering me. More than the secret military bunker, and magic age-regressing animal crackers. When I first signed up to Camp Redwood, one of the tag-lines to gain attraction had been, “Solve mysteries in the woods in the dead of night, with nothing but a flashlight and your fellow campers!” I had no idea I would be solving this thing on my own, trapped inside a bunker.
“What are you doing?” Rowan, who was still looking through Allison’s dinosaur laptop, turned to me with half lidded eyes, when I slowly got to my feet, careful not to make too much noise, and crept over to the pile of separate files which seemed to be crumbling apart from age. He kept his voice low, but it sounded almost like a whine. He could have been scared, but from the way he was sitting, cross-legged with a frowny face, I figured something must have been going on with him. The guy looked tired. More tired than normal.
The bags under his eyes were practically shadowing his face, and were an odd contrast to unusually ashy colored cheeks and slightly dilated eyes. Still though, Rowan refused to look vulnerable. I caught glimpse of Harry’s raybans sitting on his head, pinning back thick dark brown curls from falling in front of sleepy eyes. Maybe he was finally losing his cool and breaking out of the well-constructed façade had head been hiding behind since Teddy disappeared.
We had just narrowly escaped a crowd of psycho littles high on age-regressing sugary snacks who were doing who-the-fuck knows to the other counselors who had been captured, so I didn’t blame him looking like that. I guess he couldn’t look me in the eye, because in Rowan’s mind, he was the reason why this happened. He was the leader, and the camp had fallen to psychopathic little eight year olds who had taken half of the counselors hostage, and the other half—most likely taken apart in the physical sense, after what we had witnessed in Cassie’s cabin. Still though, it wasn’t Rowan’s fault. He could sit there and pull a face all he wanted, it’s not like I was going to blow up him for getting us stuck down here. He actually saved us.
And trapped us, judging from the footsteps upstairs, Carmel and Harry still bouncing around looking for us.
It was a game in their heads. The little’s thought it was cat and mouse. Harry and Carmel were the oblivious cats prowling, while we were the mice, hoping to fucking GOD we weren’t caught and eaten. Ignoring Rowan, I glimpsed what looked like a box full of DVD’S—all of which were labelled with dates and names. I saw familiar ones, my heart racing into my throat. Phoebe. Eli. Cassandra.
Each DVD had one of the kid’s names scribbled on the front, as well as a date.
I found Eleanor’s right at the back of the box.
Eleanor Summers.
08/05/2021. (PM)
Before I could hesitate and think what I was doing, I slid the DVD into the portable player attached to the MacBook. Rowan, to my surprise, didn’t move. But he did make an acknowledging noise when the screen flickered to what looked like video footage. Peering at the screen, I found myself staring at a small white room. There was no door. Only a wooden desk and a chair, and sitting on it was a middle aged woman with dark blonde curls tied into a strict ponytail. She was wearing what looked like a prison jumpsuit.
Her eyes were eerily glued to the camera, unblinking. Her wrists were cuffed in front of her. Though from the look on her face, she saw the restraints as a game. Her eyes lit up with intrigue and I could practically see the cogs in her mind starting to turn as she struggled with them.
As soon as I saw this woman, I felt all of my nerve endings set alight. I wanted to turn the screen off, or look away. But once I was looking at the screen, I couldn’t bring myself to tear my eyes away. “Let’s try this again.” There was a woman offscreen. She sounded young. Too young to be in that kind of authority. I figured there was no way teenagers were being hired as special ops agents, but I guessed I was wrong. She cleared her throat. “It is 4:35 exactly. August 5th 2021. My name is Agent Lemrac,” she stated. “I am asking once again for you to comply with us. As I have said several times, the court are willing to lessen your sentence if you plead guilty with insanity.”
The woman surprised me with a snorting laugh. She seemed to come alive, leaning forward with animated features, her brow reaching her hairline. She was acting like a child, bouncing up and down in the seat, her lips stretching into a wider grin. “What did you just say?”
There was a pause. I could tell the woman was intentionally antagonising the interviewer.
“It means you have been legally declared insane,” the interviewer stumbled over her words slightly. “Mrs Summers, it would be in your best interest to work with us to lessen your current sentence which at the moment is standing at,” the sounds of shuffling paper crackled through the speakers. The interviewer cleared her throat again rustling paper. “Thirty six years. Without parole.”
The woman didn’t speak, only continued to smile—and the interviewer delved further into the sentence. “If you do in fact plead guilty with declared insanity, you will be sentenced to a program which is in the process of supporting and rehabilitating people with your…” she caught herself for a moment. I could tell this interviewer had a biased opinion and it was definitely showing through her interviewing style. I could hear the rapid intakes of her breath as she hurried through what seemed to be a script she was reading from. “Conditions.” She finished. “The Redwood program aims to help people exactly like you.”
Redwood? I thought.
Like… Camp Redwood?
Rowan whistled behind me. I guess I could call that a reaction. The guy was probably still in shock after seeing Café de Teddy splattered all over little Cassie’s cabin floor. I should have fucking know those little bitches weren’t playing Operation for eight hours straight. Turning my attention from Rowan and back to the screen, the woman in the jumpsuit appeared to have changed tactics. Her expression twisted into nonchalance. She leaned back in her chair. “I am not pleading insane because I am not insane.”
“Mrs Summers—”
The woman cut her off. “I am not crazy.” She raised her hands “I am doing what needs to be done.” She leaned forward. “Humanity suffers in the skin. We age and die— and how is that fair? What if we want to see the next millennium? And the next two millennia after that? Why should our bodies dictate our lifespan? Why should we sit here and wait to rot and wither and die when we have the intelligence and mindset to do it? If nobody else is willing to throw ethics aside to take a step forwards in human evolution, I should do it myself.” She folded her arms across her chest, again, like a child. “I did what was to be done.”
“Dr. Summers.” The interviewer’s tone grew stiff. “You and your colleagues conducted illegal and unethical procedures on your family and friends—as well as four other victims.”
The woman inclined her head. “You have a daughter, am I correct? I have a son.”
“A child you killed, Dr Summers.” The interviewer retorted in a hiss which was definitely expressing emotion. She ignored the mention of her daughter, but I could tell it had rattled her to her core. Her voice had cracked. This case was close to her.
That was obvious. Without seeing the interviewer herself, I could sense how uncomfortable she was, shuffling in the chair. Every so often I would hear the sound of her rubbing her hands on her knees and tapping her shoe against the chair leg. She oozed anxiety, not just from her tone of voice, but the way the frame seemed to move with her. “Dr. Summers, you used your son in your research, along with several of his friends. This was not science.” Her voice shook. I heard her sharp inhale. Unprofessional, but very human. Instead of staying stoic and keeping to script, this agent was cracking apart. “It was murder.”
“Agent Lemrac, concentrate on the interview only.” An official voice crackled through what sounded like an intercom on screen.
“Got it.” She spoke through her teeth.
The woman was finding wounds and pressing on them. She was scanning the interviewer for vulnerabilities and preying on every insecurity. She leaned back speaking through a sigh. “Without my son’s sacrifice we wouldn’t have created an answer to death. To growing old and dying, and leaving loved ones behind.” Her voice softened into a murmur, but I didn’t trust it.
After identifying the shattering pieces of this interviewer which were very clear visible in her view, the woman was taking advantage.
“Agent Lemrac, you have a daughter. Am I correct in saying her name is Mari?
“That… that is not relevant.”
“Glioblastoma.” Dr. Summers lips curved into a sickening smile hidden behind mocking sympathy. “A sickness of the brain--which, unfortunately, I cannot fix. If your daughter’s brain was in my hands, I would try. However, not even a brand new body would help her. One which would never age or grow sick. And for that, I am deeply, deeply sorry.” She reached her cuffed hands forwards. “My condolences, Agent Lemrac. Honestly. I have to hand it to you. You are incredibly brave for coming here today and talking to me while abandoning your sick child.” She shook her head.
“Your daughter is dying of an incurable illness, suffering inside fragile skin which will break and fall apart and be unable to keep her standing for much longer. While my son will live on forever. He will see every millennia, a planet which will crumble and build itself back together. And maybe the end of the universe itself.” There was a twitch in her expression and a glitter in her eye I did not recognise. Insanity.
She was fucking insane. I was seeing the pure of it, the depraved and disgusting gleam in eyes empty of remorse and regret. This woman did not care what she had done. I could tell from the look on her face. If she had the chance, she would do this again.
But there was no way they were trying to say her cruelty and complete disregard for her son’s life was due to insanity.
“You are sick, Dr. Summers.” The interviewer said after a moment of gathering herself.
The woman shook her head with a chuckle. “I told you. I am not sick--”
“Sick in the head!” The interviewer’s voice exploded through the speakers in a shriek—a terrified cry she had been trying to hold in. I finally saw her—or at least the back of her. She was a young woman with light blonde hair falling loose on her shoulders. She was trembling. Slamming her hands down on the table, she screamed at the orange jumpsuit woman.
“You are psychologically fucked in the head! You psycho bitch! That is my sister!” She spoke through strangled sobs rattling her whole body. “Mari is my little sister. She is not my child.”
Her breaths were strangled and harboured. I noticed figures looming in the background, but she was continuing. “You killed your own fucking son,” she spat. “You are not legally insane, you are sick!” she shrieked. “You planned and put this together! You sit there and you talk about your son like he’s a… like he’s a tool! You deserve to rot. Do you hear me?” I noticed the orange jumpsuit woman was still smiling, satisfied with the interview’s reaction. Her words were spoken in a vicious poison as she leaned forward and spat directly in orange jumpsuit’s face.
“Agent Lemrac!” Whoever her superiors were—were panicking. “I told you not to turn it off. I knew this was going to happen. Can we stop the demonstration, please? Human emotions present inside an Aceville soldier are too powerful—"
Voices were murmuring in the background, and the Agent Lemrac raised her hands. “I want to stop.” She choked out, her hands trembling. She spoke like she still had control over the situation and wasn’t being apprehended. “I want to stop. Do you hear me?” The interviewer was crying, I realized. “Stop the recording! I can’t do this. Oh god, I think I’m going to sick—”
When the footage ended in a burst of static, I found myself backing away, something slimy creeping its way up my throat.
The woman in the orange jumpsuit who had murdered her son and countless others in what sounded like an attempt at playing god, was Eleanor Summers. I thought back to Teddy’s corpse, and the surgical precision of every organ’s removal. The young interviewer had mentioned colleagues of Eleanor.
Was it possible that Camp Redwood was in fact nothing more than a rehabilitation camp for murderous criminals? There was a loud bang from above, and I was torn from my thoughts.
I turned to Rowan, who had been unusually quiet. And I realized why, when I twisted around to find him three inches from my face, his laboured breath tickling my cheek.
The boy jumped back with a chuckle—like me noticing him was some kind of game, before diving back into the chair. I did notice something odd, as my thoughts spiralled. Rowan couldn’t sit still. Slumped in the leather spinning chair, he fingers tapped a rhythm on the armrests while his feet jumped up and down. In the dim light of the bunker, I glimpsed a sheen of sweat glistening on his forehead and the flesh of his neck. He looked to be… feverish—and now that I was looking at him properly, all of my attention on the boy, I noticed small things which seemed… off about him.
For one, he wasn’t coming up with a plan. Rowan always had a plan. Even if he wasn’t completely sure of it, or was completely winging it. This time though, he was strangely quiet. I found my voice when he stuck out his tongue at me. “What are you looking at?”
“Rowan.” I spoke softly, careful not to garner attention from above us where Harry and Carmel were still clamouring around, playing games. “Are you… feeling okay?” I asked, when he turned back to the laptop, manically biting his fingernails.
“I dunnnooooo, Josie! Am I feeeeeeling okaaaaaayyyyy?” He surprised me with an uncharacteristic laugh.
But I did know it.
I knew it from earlier when he reacted to Allison’s bunker and I had been too freaked out to realize that I was dragging along the enemy with me.
Because the fucking idiot had consumed animal crackers. I had seen him for myself earlier, pouring a pack into his mouth for a snack. Which meant either the ‘kids’ had intentionally dosed him with mind altering sugary snacks, or the more likely, he could not resist those preservatives which was the equivalent of caffeine. It’s not like I could blame him when he harboured the weight of an entire camp, but come on, did he really have to sacrifice his own fucking mind to keep himself awake?
Rowan wasn’t just biting. His nails. He was gnawing. Which he previously thought was a filthy habit. He had yelled at a camper for chewing on her nails a few days earlier.
Now that I was noticing it, I couldn’t… stop noticing it. The boy’s whole demeanour had changed; the way he was sinking into the chair, instead of sitting up straight like usual—- I used to call it having a stick up his ass. The boy started typing on the laptop, ignoring me. But when I watched the pattern of his fingers, he was just typing gibberish. Footsteps pounded above us, Harry and Carmel acting as the kid’s’ brainwashed foot-soldiers. Or, more likely somehow, if the animal crackers had caused the littles, or I guess, the fully grown forty year old criminals, to relapse in age-- then maybe it was possible for the same thing to happen to us. To Rowan.
I could feel myself starting to back away, but there was nowhere to run. I just slammed into a cupboard. My gaze flicked to Rowan again, who was tapping a beat on the laptop tracking pad, swaying back and forth, his eyes elsewhere before his gaze found mine. “Marcoooooo!” Harry shouted from above, giggling with Carmel.
I had to guess their mental age had to be at least 8-10 years old. Which meant I wasn’t just dealing with a camp full of forty-year-old psycho’s, I was also dealing with mentally relapsed counselors acting like toddlers.
Rowan seemed to jolt in the chair, twisting his head around, his eyes suddenly incredibly childlike and playful, and very Un-Rowan, were finding the ceiling, his mouth stretching into a smile, like he was seeing butterflies. His eyes flashed to me, and I caught a twitch in his lip. I knew that look. It was the look on my seven year old sister, who knew mom was mad at me, and wanted to make it even worse.
His cheeks were starting to blossom scarlet from what must have been the overwhelming urge to laugh. Rowan pressed his lips together and held in a breath like a hamster, and the asshole was fucking with me. waiting for me to beat him to it by accident. Kids were fucking ruthless, but there was something terrifying about an 18 year old with a little kid’s mind.
I lifted my index to my lips, miming for him not to even try, but the boy just mimicked me, bugging out his eyes and pressing his finger to his grinning mouth. “Don’t you fucking dare.” I managed to whisper. The boy was definitely playing his own game, moving in twitching movements, baiting me. When he cupped his mouth, I almost let out a cry, but then he dropped his arms with a giggle, as if to say, “I’m just kidding!”
Slowly, I turned around, grabbed the salt I’d found in Allison’s cupboard, and a flat can of soda. Without making too much movement, I poured a handful of salt into the can. But Rowan seemed to know exactly what I was doing. Because in the time it was taking me to advance towards him, with the can of salty soda, one arm shakily ready to grab hold of him, and put him into a headlock, he was cupping his mouth, all logic and everything adult, everything he had been as our leader, igniting in playful eyes, leaving me the last one standing.
“Pollloooooo!”
By the time Rowan had managed to reveal our hiding place in a spluttered laugh, I had hold of the squirming boy, one arm wrapped around his neck, my other forcing the can of soda into his mouth. I had definitely miscalculated his strength. During camp Redwood activities, he was always the last one to come back from the trail, holding his knees and panting. I figured he was unfit. However, I was wrong. Underneath his shirt, the guy had some serious muscles.
It was like attacking a brick wall. However, Rowan was mentally a kid. So, I had my intelligence and logic on my side. When it became obvious I wasn’t going to get anywhere with brute strength, I resorted to tickling him, which made him squirming, squeaking out a laugh. When he opened his mouth to yell at me to stop, I took my chance, thrusting the can into his lips and holding his nose so he swallowed it down.
“No!” His laughter turned into muffled yelling, as he batted his fists at my chest. “No, no, no! Get off, get off!”
His body convulsed as the salt did its job, causing the boy to lurch to his knees and choke up forbidden animal crackers in a gooish sludge which turned my stomach. By the time Rowan seemed half himself and half not, still kneeling, his head pressed against the floor, Harry was poking his head through the door with a goonish grin. “Found you!” He giggled, before forcing the door open, allowing Carmel and Callen, freshly caught mentally turned into littles, to advance down the stairs with equally terrifying grins. There was something wrong with Harry’s face, and I only realized it when the guy himself was hauling me from the bunker, Carmel dragging a barely responsive Rowan. There was nothing in Harry’s expression, only blind childish excitement at winning the game. When he dragged me out of Allison’s cabin and threw me to the ground, I realized he too had insane strength I had not been expecting. But that thought quickly retracted when I was seeing his face in the light of a crescent moon lighting up the sky an eerie glow. Harry’s cheeks were puffy and swollen, his right eye way bigger than it should have been.
When he spoke, his voice was more of a lisp. This was something far more realistic than magical animal crackers fucking with his brain.
“He needs help!” I managed to choke out when Carmel wrapped jump-rope around my wrists. Next to me, Rowan was refusing to get up, still choking up salty soda, groaning into his hands. Every time Callen tried to restrain him, he hissed out like an animal.
“Do you hear me?!” I struggled violently. “Harry needs—”
BANG.
Is what it felt like. The feeling of something—what felt and sounded like a toy car—colliding with my temples, sent me onto the ground, my head spinning itself off of its axis. I remember lying on my back and frowning at the moon which almost looked like it was getting closer to me, blurring into a white ball of light—before reality sunk in, and it was in fact Carmel’s converse coming down to finish me off. I didn’t stay knocked out for long. But I did dream.
I think you can call it a dream? I was lying in bed at home; my room drowned in the dark. I was cosy, curled up in my blankets, when a clammy hand slammed over my mouth, rousing me from slumber. There were two figures in my room. They didn’t have faces. They just existed as shadows, silhouettes. Before one of them raised something above their head, and… impact.
It was the same impact as the toy car hitting me, snapping me back to that night. It wasn’t a dream. Because I remembered his clammy fingers over my mouth, and his hisses for me to shut up as he dragged me from my room.
My parents stood in front of me with expressions of sympathy. Basked in warm light, my mom and dad looked almost otherworldly. “For the best.” Was what they mouthed when my own phantom screams slammed into me, I asked them why, and they didn’t reply, allowing him to pull me further and further from what I knew, from my life as I knew it. But.. that couldn’t be real. I had memories of getting on the bus to camp Redwood. I could recall the whole journey. So, why… why was my tangled mind saying otherwise?
When I gathered myself, the first thing I realized was I was sitting down. I was outside, cool night air grazing my bare arms. There was something attached to me, jerking violently, And it took me several disorientating blinks to understand that I was tied back to back with Rowan. My head pounded, and something wet and warm dripped down my temple. Great. I could add head injury to the long list of things to worry about.
“Let me go you little fucking witch.”
Rowan was back to himself, though from the muffled hissing and the sound of choking—I had to guess he was being force-fed animal crackers.
“Let me—mpphmmm. little…. fucking… mphmmphhmhppmm!”
“Rowan.” I managed to get out in a croak. Through flickering eyes, I caught glimpse of a familiar figure dancing around us. Shivers rocketed down my spine, and I wrenched at the jump-rope restraints, but they did a surprisingly job of restraining my arms behind my back.
Eleanor was with Rowan, while Eli was knelt in front of me. Looking at him, the boy had definitely aged in the face—and I couldn’t help wondering what exactly he had done as a forty something year old to be sent to this place.
“Josie!” Rowan responded in a wail. “Josie. Wake the FUCK up.”
“Stop swearing.”
Eleanor spoke with the cold tone of her actual age.
“Oh, yeah?” Rowan spluttered. “Fuck you.” The boy’s laugh was still rough from almost vomiting his insides out from too much salt intake. “I’m sorry, you were a fucking boomer all along?!” He wriggled in the restraints, lunging forwards, which sent me backwards.
“Stop swearing, Rowan.” Was all the girl responded with calmly.
“Like I’m going to listen to you!” He sneered. “Fuck, fuck, fuckity, fucking fuck!” What are you going to do, huh? Bite me with your false teeth?” The sound of saliva hitting skin made me wince. He was pissed. I had no doubt his completely rational anger was going to get us killed. Rowan was also somehow getting mixed up between forty and eighty. Though he was unwillingly snacking on mind bending sugary goodness.
“Fudge, Rowan.” Eleanor spoke in a giggle.
“What?!”
“Say fudge. Not fuck.”
“No.”
His hiss of pain caught me off guard. I don’t know what she was doing to him, but it was hurting him.
“You fudging fudge! I’m going to fudging kill you when I get out of these fudging ropes—“ his manic cursing became a muffled yell.
“Say fudge,” Eleanor hummed, followed by his hiss when the palm of her hand skinned his cheek. “Fuck is a bad word. You even said so yourself and you’re my favourite counselor.”
He heaved out a breath.
“You fudge,” Rowan spat. “When I get out of this, I am going to fudging kill you, you fudging—” His manic ranting morphed, once again, into muffled yelling, after another fistful of animal crackers were forced into his mouth. When I risked twisting around, I could see his rebellion slowly starting to simmer out as he relaxed slightly. I wanted to yell at him to keep a clear head before cold fingers were dipping under my chin and forcing my head around where I found myself face to face with Eli.
“I like you, Josie,” he said, before untying me and pulling me to my feet. Now at the age of nine or ten, he was a lot stronger. When I tried to pull away, the cruel blade of a knife grazed my gut. I caught his grin. “But we don’t need you.” Eli pointed to Rowan.
“We just want them.”
I followed his pointer finger which went from Rowan to Harry and Carmel, who were just standing there like fucking idiots, probably awaiting the next game. Harry’s face was getting redder. It looked like he was suffocating, and yet his grin was growing wider and wider, splitting his lips apart. “Rowan Atlas.” Eleanor said, dragging him to his feet. Something was stapled to his forehead head, which caused him to howl in pain, hissing another strangled line of “Fudge”. but I couldn’t read what it was.
“Camp leader. Intelligent, and problem solving skills.”
“Harry Carlisle.” Eli nodded his head with a smile. “Quick thinker. Strong minded.”
“Carmel Locke.” Cassie spoke behind me. She had her arms folded, a wry smile on her lips. “Smarter than she makes out—- an independent learner, and can work well under pressure.”
Looking at these kids, I felt sick to my stomach. They were planning something—and had the intelligence of renowned scientists, which was what I gathered from the footage on the MacBook. “What?” was all I could hiss out, as Eli prodded the blade of the knife into my back, ushering me to walk. “What are you talking about?”
“Duh.” He spoke in a more tweeny giggle. “Like I said, Miss Josie. You’re my favorite counselor but we don’t need you, so I’m going to use you for parts.” He laughed when a shiver spiderwebbed down my spine. “See! I told you I was going to show you my collection!”
“But… what do you need them for?”
Eli pressed his index finger to his lips with a laugh before forcing me to face forwards. “That’s a secret!”
When I didn’t, or couldn’t move, he shoved me into a stumbling power-walk, and I managed to turn my head quickly, making feverish eye contact with Rowan.
“Rowan.” I said calmly through the gutter in my throat. “Get…. Get help.”
If I was going to die, I needed him to get a hold of himself and somehow alert the outside world what was going on.
“From whom, Josie?!” He wailed back—and as I was dragged away, I could once again sense the childish undertones in his voice.
I had no choice but to obey Eli’s orders. If I didn’t want a knife in my back. He took me to the main lunch cabin, which, when I set foot inside, almost sent me to my knees.
Something lurched inside me, and I was screaming with no voice, staggering backwards, only to be shoved onto my face. In front of me was what had been the lunch hall, fully converted into the beginning of a laboratory.
What had been cafeteria tables were fashioned into makeshift gurney’s and beds, and I was looking at all of the missing counselors. Yuri and Noah had been skinned completely, their faces laid out on a makeshift surgical table. Joey had been ripped open, his heart and brain removed, a glittering metallic substance creeping its way across his forehead. It was then when I remembered Eleanor Summers words.
She wanted to prevent death and preserve the human mind. Looking at what was in front of me, this was the start of it. There was equipment I had never seen before. Lily’s body was empty, carved out completely, tubes forced inside her. When I glimpsed her fingers move and begin to ball into a fist, I saw red. I saw fucking red. The exit was so close and yet Eli, fucking Eli, wielded his knife. I think that is when part of me gave up. My brain just stopped. It short circuited. Seeing my friends murdered and yet somehow being kept alive through playing god, my body slumped to the ground. I was numb. Completely numb.
I’m not sure what would have happened if those bloody saws and instruments which had been used on my friends were used on me too.
Luckily, that did not happen. Before Eli could get his slimy hands on me, he crumpled to the ground in an almost cartoon-like fashion, and standing over me was Harry. Who was looking better. When he grasped hold of me and helped me up, I only had one word. “Out.” And he was nodding, his eyes glistening as he drunk in our friends’ fate.
“How?” I managed to sputter out, when we made it out of the cabin, ducking behind a tree. Harry turned to me, motioning for me to shut up. There was a group of now ten to eleven year olds already running around, searching for what I guessed was him.
“I’m allergic to peanut butter,” Harry murmured, his grasp tightening on my wrist as he led me across the camp, the two of us stumbling.
“What, and you just magically healed?”
He didn’t respond to that, which bothered me.
“The bunker is our best shot,” I hissed out. “I think we can get in contact with someone down there.” I paused, unable to stop myself. “What makes you so important?”
“Dunno. Maybe I’m their favorite.”
When we found Allison’s cabin, which was more of a safehouse (an exposed safehouse) I found Rowan sitting on the wooden porch with his legs swinging over the side. “Rowan!” Harry hissed. I found it hard to believe their roles had been switched. Now he was the one yelling at the camp-leader. “I told you to stay inside!”
He ushered the boy inside, before barricading the door with some hefty looking equipment. I could tell from the grin on his face that our so-called leader was once again no longer himself.
I had to bite back a groan. “You’re kidding.” I said, pointing to Rowan, who buried his head in his knees and blew a raspberry. “Does he look and act like our leader right now?!”
“It’s Rowan, Josie.”
“He’s a liability.”
“He’s our friend! Wouldn’t Rowan do the same?”
Yes, he would. But. He would also realise we’re lost causes.
“Gag him with something.” I said. “If he makes any more noise, we’re dumping him.”
“He’s a kid!”
“Just the mind one of.”
I don’t know how animal crackers worked, but his age seemed to be progressively younger. This time he just sat with wide eyes watching us.
Harry almost tore apart the place looking for means of communication, before an old fashioned ringing sound made me jump.
“What was that?” Harry turned to me with his lip curled.
“How am I supposed to know?!” I hissed. “Keep looking!” But when I ducked under the table, my hands crawled under the desk, finding a fire—and attached to that, an ancient looking phone which looked straight out of a 1940’s movie, a bright green rotary phone.
Hesitantly, I answered it, lifting the phone to my ear. “Hello?”
“Did you awaken the subjects, Agent Salta?"
The voice on the other end was a woman, an oldish sounding woman with the tinge of a British accent.
“What?” I shot a look at Harry before shaking my head. “No. My name is Josie Greenfield. We’re at Camp Redwood, and we need help.”
The woman paused.
“Where is Agent Salta?” She cleared her throat. “This line is reserved for communication with agents only.”
“I don’t know who the fuck you’re talking about!" he hissed out. “My name is Josie, and whatever is happening here, we need help!”
“Josie. Did you awaken the subjects?”
I paused after a moment, shooting Harry a look when he tried to take the phone off of me. “Yes.”
“And… are our agents unavailable?”
“I don’t understand.”
“When a health and safety breach is activated, our agents are awakened to deal with the Project Spearhead subjects if they were to ever go rogue, or become conscious enough to think. Josie, can you tell me what is in front of you? Describe it to me.”
I held my breath. Next to the hidden phone under the desk was what looked like mismatched wires, all of which had been severed. I lowered myself slowly, poking at mess. “Wires. I see… cut up wires.” I whispered. “Does this mean they know about you?”
She hummed. “Ah…That makes sense. The only way to activate our sleeper handlers would be to send out the signal. You appear to have been sabotaged. Unless activated manually, our agents cannot help you. I am sorry. They are your problem now.” The woman paused.
“If I were you, I would hope and pray they have not sabotaged the self-destruct. If you find that, then you may be able to save yourselves and find peace.” She cleared her throat. “Thank you for your service, Josie Greenfield.”
“Wait.” I managed to get out. “Wait, no! You can’t just… you can’t leave us! We need help!”
I found myself yelling at nothing when the phone went dead. The dull tone of the dead ringtone was clanging in my ears before footsteps from up above. “Fuck this.” Harry picked up a lead pipe. “They’re still little kids, right? I mean, their head must still be partly kids—- so let’s fucking beat their heads in.”
He noticed something, then, starting forwards towards the mess of files I had left earlier. Harry knelt on the ground and picked up Eli’s file, his eyes wide. But he wasn’t staring at the dates confirming the little boy’s age.
Instead, Harry pointed at the bottom of the file. “I don’t want to freak you out, Josie,” he whispered. Initially, I didn’t know what he was trying to show before I glimpsed notes scrawled at the bottom of the file, followed by a signature. “But I’m pretty sure that is my fucking writing.”
Harry was right.
I pulled the paperwork off of him, flicking through each file before turning my eyes to him. “Who the fuck are you?” I managed to hiss out.
A clanging sound from above broke the tension, and whatever Harry was about to reply with was strangled in his throat. He slammed a hand over his mouth.
“Guys?”
The voice twisted me up inside, threatening to release a shriek from my mouth I had managed to clamp shut.
Teddy.
“Are you down here?” His voice was strained, and had an odd tone to it. “I can’t… I can’t see you.”

Can someone please tell me what the fuck is going on?! It’s been a blur of a week. We’ve managed to stay down here, surviving off of Allison’s rations. Rowan isn’t getting any better. He seems to have stopped mentally de-ageing at the age of maybe six. Harry has spent the last few days trying to get in contact with anyone, but it’s like they are IGNORING US.
I’ve been looking through everything I can find on Project Spearhead, but nothing points to Harry being involved. So. How is his signature all over the files? How is it possible that two friends I thought I knew several days ago, are now complete strangers?
Teddy keeps coming back.
He’s crying out to us.
I think he’s… in pain.
My god, I can’t stand this anymore. Please. CAMP REDWOOD NEEDS HELP.

2023.06.03 20:57 Appropriate-Ad4657 Holy SHIT (Part 2: The Electric Boogaloo)

Hey team!
After such a lovely response last time, I thought I’d make another post now I’ve finished The Fires of Heaven!!!!! I once again stayed up all night to finish it so these are sleep deprived and slightly incoherent thoughts!!
I’m not going to lie I enjoyed this slightly less than TSR (although it was still excellent, don’t get me wrong!) but found it had less standout “oh my GOD holy SHIT” moments and fewer moments that made me well up with emotion (apart from the obvious one…) so I think I felt slightly less viscerally emotionally connected to the story overall.
I continue to be ASTOUNDED by the attention to detail and sheet level of world-building in this series. I know pages of description of the details of the environment, the clothes etc are not everyone’s cup of tea but it makes the world feel so much richer and fuller to me so I love it!
I have so much to say and I’m terrible at not rambling so BEAR WITH ME (this is long!) Here we go!
1. CAN WE TALK ABOUT MOIRAINE
Listen. Listen. I KNEW this was coming - the foreshadowing was HEAVY…Rhuidean…her desperation, the urgency of her imparting information to Rand, her cryptic references to leaving…my gal knew she was on a time crunch. But literally from the moment she appeared and Rand commented on her looking more beautiful and regal than normal, I was going oh no…oh no…oh NO…OH NO and when it actually happened I was CRUSHED.
I think particularly having read New Spring first, I was SO attached to Moiraine and her story and knowing how much she had sacrificed to get to this point and the dignity with which she faced the inevitable and knowingly sacrificed everything was gut-punching!
Lan’s reaction followed by her letter absolutely broke me (I cried)… You will do well…TATTOO THAT LINE ON ME. Ugh. Anyway.
I assume her letter to Thom contains the names of the Red sisters who went after his nephew but (and maybe slightly out of left field…) I think there miiiiiiight be something romantic there? I’m probably SO far wrong on this that everyone’s going to be like “wtf you idiot” but there’s been a couple of references to her giggling or laughing around him (super rare for main series Moiraine) and then off the back of that, she made that comment about knowing the face of the man she’s going to marry - and my instinctive reaction was oh THOM even though at the time I didn’t know why that was my instinctive reaction- and I thought the whole scene with the two of them in Tear was quite charged and flirty. Hmmmm. Like I said, a bit of a left field prediction but IF she comes back, maybe there’s going to be something there…or maybe everyone is reading this and thinking I’ve gone completely mad…time will tell!
On that note, I don’t believe either her or Lanfear are actually dead and I think both are going to re-appear at some point but I don’t imagine they’re going to have a great time trapped with the Elfin (in my head the Elfin are the foxes because they have elf like faces and Aelfin are the snakes because Ael sounds like eel…it doesn’t make sense, I don’t know if that’s right lmao) for however long they’re there for.
LISTEN. Her letter specifically says that she is “gone” but she doesn’t say dead!!! And she's Aes Sedai, she's SPECIFIC with her word choices for good reason!
And before you all come at me, I KNOW that Lan couldn’t feel the bond but a) we have no evidence that he can feel the bond across whatever land the red door leads to - it was never specifically commented on when Moiraine goes through the one in Tear and b) even if he can theoretically feel it when she’s in A/Elfin land, my personal theory is that destroying the frame effectively destroyed the only (known) way back and it’s the finality of there being no (known) way for her to return which effectively severs the bond (rather than her actual death). We definitely haven’t seen the last of the fox people and I really really (maybe wishful thinking) believe that she’s going to find a way back.
I also maybe read this wrong but we know that Moiraine specifically set up the angreal at the edge of the doorframe the day before she died and at first I just assumed it was so that everything happened exactly as she had seen in Rhuidean. But as she leaps at Lanfear, it says that she clawed it away from her but it’s unclear whether Moiraine is holding it as they go through the doorframe or whether it falls on the ground but I don’t think there’s any mention of it lying on the ground in the next chapter.
I know this is SUCH a small thing but knowing how intentional Jordan is with his writing, I find it hard to believe that not mentioning the angreal in the pages of description of the dock that follow isn’t a deliberate choice.
Therefore, I’m assuming Moiraine has hold of it as they go through the doorframe. We also don’t know if it’s a ter’angreal or a sa’angreal (interesting but I don’t know how much this matters?)
Knowing both how intentional Jordan is and in-world knowing how intentional and prepared Moiraine is, I can only assume setting this up was deliberate on her part. She had from Rhuidean to prepare for this moment and I’m also wondering if her vision in Rhuidean showed her going through the portal, maybe it also showed her a way to get back and the angreal is part of that.
I THINK that the angreal will either enable her to kill Lanfear on the otherside of the doorframe OR is somehow the key to enabling her to come back OR will help her to survive the fox people (or all of the above!)
My alternative theory (that I think is less good tbh) is that the angreal will help her survive +/- killing Lanfear and Rhuidean did show her a way to get back but it has to be done from outside the fox world and the key to getting her back is what’s in Thom’s letter??
I’m also now wondering if going through the doorway with an angreal was why it went absolutely haywire (in the same with the testing angreal interacted with Egwene’s dream one) or maybe that was just both women channelling as they fell through.
Both of my theories go to absolute shit if I’ve failed to pick up on the angreal still being in the real world lmao so let me know if I’m wrong on that!
2. ALVARIAN as Black Ajah!!!
That SHOCKED me! I guess I always thought that her motivations were aligned with her being White Ajah (very logical etc) and that she was, similarly to Elaida, not a nice person but not downright evil. Interesting!
3. I’m calling it now. Verin is Black Ajah.
I had my suspicions last book because this woman keeps turning up in places she has no right to be with weak-ass excuses as to why she’s there but Moiraines letter solidified it for me - why name Verin SPECIFICALLY alongside Alvarian who we KNOW is Black Ajah unless she knows something we don’t?? I’m willing to be proven wrong on this but my suspicions are strong!
4. Morgase!
LOVED these chapters! Rahvin’s compulsion is literally bone-chilling to me. Ugh. I’m concerned that her and Bryne are going to be like ships in the night given he’s now in Salidar and she’s on her way to Kor Spring and they’re just going to keep missing each other!
I love Lini and will be v sad if anything happens to her. She can look after Elayne and Rands babies whilst they’re fighting the Last Battle (I’m KIDDING lmao I don’t think that’s going to happen)
I also like Tallanvor a LOT. The scene where Lini (?) recounts seeing him sobbing and recanting his new oath made me irrationally very emotional.
6. Intrigued by Egwene’s character arc this book.
I…did not love what she did to Nynaeve in TAR…at all. It was…horrifying…and in many ways fundamentally changed how I view her as a character. I partially get it, in that she was teaching the way that she had been taught and whilst it was intended to be terrifying, I don’t think it was necessarily written with the intent of having the full weight of a sexual assault behind it but, particularly as a woman, it was viscerally horrifying to read.
The thing that is the MOST interesting is Egwene consciously learning how to manipulate people and more importantly the thrill that she gets from it. The tipping of the power balance between her and Nynaeve and how they negotiate that going forward is also going to be super interesting.
When Siuan was talking about needing a new Amyrlin who is separate from the Tower and extremely powerful, my first instinct was “oh that’s Egwene, she’s talking about Egwene”. In hindsight, I actually think she might’ve meant Moiraine (and it makes more sense for her to mean Moiraine because after all Egwene has barely been raised to Accepted let alone full Aes Sedai) but I still think my initial instinct is correct and Egwene will become Amyrlin. The character development that I don’t necessarily like is, I think, setting her up to develop the attributes that will ultimately lead to her taking the seat.
As a side note, how are they raising Accepted to Aes Sedai in Salidar without the terangreal that they have need for the testing? In New Spring, training for the testing was a Big Deal and I don’t understand how they’ve raised Faolin without her going through that?
7. I think Nynaeve is going to learn how to heal stilling/gentling.
This is based on nothing but vibes and her sheer determination that she CAN learn how to do it and I think once she puts her mind to it, there’s very little she’s not going to be able to accomplish. Plus it makes sense with Min’s visions of seeing glory for Logain and it’s good for the plot.
Nynaeve’s character development in this book was NEXT LEVEL. There’s a point quite early on where she talks about the joy of healing being enough to bring her to tears and how one day she’ll heal Thom and he’ll dance again and that part made ME well up! I think that just sets up her motivations so well and also encapsulates that as frustrating as she can be sometimes, at her core, she’s ultimately a Good Person and (although not completely) selfless. Her whole arc post Brigette-gate was just some A+ character development and I LOVE that she’s teetering on the edge of self-introspection and actually putting that self-reflection into action which I think is SO realistically human.
8. The cuendillar discs
I found it super interesting the the cuendillar disc broke at some point on Elayne and Nynaeve’s journey from the menagerie to Salidar. Also super interesting that they both felt some kind of “darkness” coming from it.
My current assumption is the malice they’re sensing comes from the Dark One himself trying to break free and my THEORY is that this has a similar effect on people to the dagger from Shadar Logoth, which is why the girls were being particularly snippy and aggressive to each other and their improved mood (which Nynaeve assumes is because they’re forced to smile all the time so it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy) actually correlates to the point at which the disc broke.
My other kind of related theory is that one of the refugees is Moghedien (leaning towards Ariena as the one with the most suspicious backstory) and the breaking of cuendillar is related to being in proximity to a Forsaken (although I think this might fall down because the discs that Moiraine had on the wagon are - to my knowledge - intact, despite being in close contact with Lanfear)
I don’t think Moghedien can be one of the Aes Sedai because it would make no sense that she found Salidar on her todd and made it there before the others so I think she has to be one of the refugees. It’s super interesting though that posing as a refugee shows the Moghedien actually has a fundamental understanding of who Nynaeve in order to take the gamble that she would let them on the ship, ultimately playing on her humanity.
9. I still really like Elayne!
I know there were some comments on my last post with people saying she does terrible things but FOR NOW for a very young girl coming from a very privileged background suddenly thrown into an entirely new life, I think she’s doing well! And she’s also still fundamentally a good person!
That said, I didn’t like her flirting with Thom. I get it. But I didn’t like it. Weird and icky. Was v glad when it ended.
11. I like Gareth and Siuan.
That’s it. That’s the post.
It amuses me how much better Jordan is at writing adult relationships than teenage ones.
Gareth/Siuan, Morgase/Tallanvor and Moiraine/Thom are actually (now I think about it lmao) all currently theoretical and have been given FAR less screen time but are FAR more realistic and I’m waaaaaay more invested in literally all of them than eg: Perrin/Faile or Rand/Aviendha
12. I missed Perrin in this book. The part where Rand mentions that he’s probably showing Faile off to his mother and family made me sad because he’s not because THEY’RE ALL DEAD
13. Elayne bonding Birgette as a Warder is SUPER INTERESTING! I love Birgette as a character and I can’t wait to see what Jordan does with her further down the line
14. AAAAH PROPHECIES!
So I initially thought that Mat being hung in Rhuidean was his “die and live again” but now he’s died in Camlyn and been brought back to life by balefire, I think THAT was his “die and live again as a part of what was” which I think makes more sense - particularly the “a part of what was”, referring (I’m guessing!) both to a part of him (his memories) being from the past and to the fact that the Balefire that brought him back erased a thread of the pattern, making it so Rahvin’s actions never existed (“what was”). One prophecy down! Now he just has to marry a Seanchan princess and give up half the light of the world to save the word (whatever that means)!
15. I’m not going to lie…I’m not a battle girlie…all of the descriptions of large scale battles and factions coming from East or West and the tactics used go straight over my head and (this is going to be unpopular lol) Mat leading the battle in Cairhiean was by far the most boring part of the book for me (not being deliberately inflammatory but FAR more boring than any part of the circus plot which I actually really enjoyed lmao) HOWEVER I am psyched that he killed Couladin and psyched that he has his own group. All three of the Two Rivers boys leading their own groups!!
16. Melindra being a Darkfriend was ANOTHER plot twist I did not see coming!! I don’t really have anything more to say apart from the fact that I was shook!
17. Oh this is a random one but I just remembered. Rand is being over dramatic with this whole “I need to die to save the world”. My man my dude. All the prophecy says is that your blood will be on the steps of Shayol Ghul. Conveniently, you have a giant wound in your side that seems to break open and bleed every time you’re in a battle / in proximity to a Forsaken…Sir, no-one is saying you have to die to fulfil that part of the prophecy!
18. Uhhhhhhh just when I thought all the plot twists for this book were over and I could settle into the final pages….WHO (the fuck) KILLED ASMODEAN?! Maybe Fain (because god know where in the world he is right now) but that seems unlikely…I don’t think he’s got good enough motivation to kill him but I can’t think of anyone else! Someone Asmodean recognises which suggests one of the Forsaken??
AAAAAAAAAH!
I desperately want to start Lord of Chaos but I’ve promised it to myself as a reward when I’ve finished doing all the work I haven’t done because I’ve been too busy reading!
PS: to the man who tried to start small talk with me in King’s Cross station (unrelated to WoT, that conversation I would’ve engaged with) when I was reading the last 50 pages, I’m sorry I lied and told you I had to catch my train, I just needed to finish reading! If you see this, I hope you understand why!

2023.06.03 20:47 InnerAd118 This was originally a joke..


Is this real after all?
This was originally displayed here as an april fools joke over 3 years ago, referring specifically to "Nefertari D. Buggy".
Obviously, this artwork looks way to good to be "completely fake".. and with the most recent revelation that Nefertari Lily, the original queen of Alabasta was also a 'D'.. And the fact that Buggy's surname has never been revealed.. however his place of origin has (stated to be the grand line, which if you look at the first major island of the grand line..), AND the fact that it's ironically funny that Crocodile now works "For" Buggy, a (potentially) long lost descendant of the Royal Nefertari family.. (and of course, he shares a very distinctive hair color with vivi), AND the fact that Buggy, being a D, would fit the theme between him and shanks (assuming he really is a celestial dragon.. well, on his mom's side anyways.. I still kinda think his dad might be rocks).. with that blue hair of course being shared by none other than wapol (and guess who is being protected and hidden by big news morgan right now?)

>! To be honest, I think Oda himself made this picture and intentionally shared it on april fools as a way to throw people of the "Scent", and also as an epic foreshadowing. All of this of course is one piece going backwards to the end (clearly, with egg head being the opposite of ennies lobby i think), meaning the next saga will bring the return of eneru followed by the first confrontation with Black beard, and then vivi returning to the crew temporarily, (robin getting kidnapped by buggy possibly?, but not before she translates the poneglyphs), but ending with the remaining nefertari family members reuniting (buggy, vivi, wapol maybe) and teaming up with the straw hats to take on black beard who "killed" shanks, and some more stuff until finally the straw hats make it to laugh tale to find shanks was waiting there all along. (ok, most of this stuff im just spit balling, lol. But i do believe there is clearly a Vivi, Wapol, and Buggy connection, as well as a Shanks, Rocks, Figarland connection.!<

2023.06.03 20:27 Best_Club_In_America Food for thought: was Epstein communicating in code when he said he was "calling his mother" the day before he was found in his cell?

Epstein's final phone call: Pedophile lied to jail guards and asked to call his mom (who died in 2004) but actually spoke to his Belarus girlfriend, 30, hours before killing himself, NYTimes report reveals

  • More than 2,000 pages of Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) records were obtained by The New York Times
  • The release comes just days before Epstein's alleged co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell is set to start trial revealed
  • On the evening of August 10, Epstein was assisted by a unit manager at the Manhattan Detention Center in making a 'social' phone call
  • The call was not properly logged and the unit manager said that when he asked Epstein who he was calling, he said it was his mother
  • The call was actually to his Belarusian girlfriend Katyna Shuliak, 30, and lasted about 15 minutes
  • Epstein helped put Shuliak through dental school. He gave no indication during the call that he was going to commit suicide
Jeffrey Epstein's last hours were spent in part on a call to his girlfriend in Belarus, made under the ruse that the billionaire pedophile was calling his long-deceased mother, according to newly revealed records.
More than 2,000 pages of Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) records recently obtained by The New York Times - just days before Epstein's alleged co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell is set to start trial - have revealed Epstein was a con artist up until his last day.
On the evening of August 10, 2019, Epstein was assisted by a unit manager at the Manhattan Detention Center in making a 'social' phone call, The Times reported.
The call was not properly logged and the unit manager said that when he asked Epstein who he was calling, the prisoner said it was his mother.
Epstein's mother has been dead since 2004.
The call was actually to his Belarusian girlfriend Katyna Shuliak, 30, and lasted about 15 minutes, records show.
Epstein helped put Shuliak through dental school. He gave no indication during the call that he was going to commit suicide, according to the newspaper.
It fits with the remainder of the unclassified pages - including a clinical intervention report - which were uncovered after The Times filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit. The report was filed on July 11, 2019 stated that Epstein 'continues to deny any suicidal ideation, intention or plan.'
'I have no interest in killing myself,' the disgraced financier told a prison psychologist, according to the BOP documents. He also said he was a 'coward' and did not like pain.
'I would not do that to myself,' he added.
During another psychological evaluation just days after arriving at the prison Epstein told a psychologist that 'being alive is fun'.
He also reportedly requested to speak with his lawyer, brush his teeth and have a shower and the psychologist noted that Epstein was polite and even had a sense of humor.
The psychologist wrote: 'He was future-oriented,' and noted that he denied having ever sexually abused anyone and believed he would be released after his renewed bail hearing.
But less than a month later, on August 10, the financier hanged himself with a bedsheet, according to the medical examiner.
He was pronounced dead while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges and was facing 45 years in prison if convicted.
Epstein was tossed into the the federal jail in Lower Manhattan on July 6, 2019, after he was arrested aboard his private jet at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey following his return from Paris.
Two years after Epstein's suicide the embattled federal jail closed down. The BOP cited crumbling security measures and infrastructure at the facility, which was once considered one of the most secure detention centers in the country.
The 233 inmates at the prison when it closed were transferred to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, where Maxwell has also been staying.
An indictment stated that Epstein had recruited dozens of teenage girls throughout the 1990s and early 2000s to engage in sexual acts with him and his billionaire friends at his mansion in Manhattan, estate in Palm Beach and private island in St Thomas.
In exchange he would pay the young women hundreds of dollars in cash, according to the indictment.
After the loss of his freedom, the 66-year-old spent a lot of time in conference rooms with lawyers to avoid his dirty cell and spent the days leading up to his death meeting with psychologists to discuss his mental health, The Times reported.
Here, Epstein reminisced about his star-studded social circle and even offered psychologists and other inmates investment advice.
He also complained that he was 'upset about wearing an orange jumpsuit and being treated like "a bad guy" when he did not do anything wrong in the prison'.
He asked why he had to wear the brightly-colored jumpsuit 'due to his being housed in SHU' - also known as Special Housing Units and 'the hole' - which is where the Federal BOP segregates prisoners by disciplinary action.
Epstein 'requested that he be placed in a brown uniform during his legal visits,' and 'was told his concerns would be addressed in the SHU meeting'.
The report also revealed that Epstein complained about the running toilet in his cell, his difficulty sleeping, numbness in his right arm, 'feeling cold in his cell (and) not having enough water in attorney conference'.
According to The Times, the report failed to prove any conspiracy theories that Epstein's death was not a suicide, or that he was assisted in killing himself, to be true.
However, they detailed how Epstein consistently lied to correctional officers and reassured those who interacted with him during his 36 days of detention that he had much to live for.
The court document noted that 'he did not appear to be in any distress at this time' and even said that he was living a 'wonderful life' despite being on suicide watch.
The BOP, which The Times sued in order to access the documents, had created a task force reportedly committed to strengthening its suicide prevention program.
One month later, Epstein was found unconscious after hanging himself in his jail cell, leading then-US Attorney General William Barr to blame his death on a 'perfect storm of screw-ups,' according to The Times.
Barr said there were 'serious irregularities' at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, and although he failed to elaborate, a 15-page psychological report of the billionaire's death compiled by bureau officials five weeks after Epstein died said that his identity 'appeared to be based on his wealth, power and association with other high-profile individuals,' according to The Times.
An intake screening also falsely described Epstein as a black male and noted that he had no prior sex offense convictions - yet he was a registered sex offender in Florida with two convictions in 2008 for solicitation of prostitution and procurement of minors to engage in prostitution, according to The Times.
He was sentenced to just 13 months following his guilty plea in 2008.
It was also revealed that phone calls he made were also not recorded, logged or monitored, which was against the detention center's policy.
Epstein lied to jail officials up until the night he killed himself to get a moment alone, which was not allowed considering Epstein was monitored around the clock and was supposed to be assigned a cellmate.
He said he wanted to call his mother, who had died in 2004 but instead phoned his 30-year-old girlfriend Karyna Shuliak, from Belarus.
Call logs showed that Epstein called Shuliak on July 30, too. She was one of the largest beneficiaries of several trusts that Epstein set up over the years, according to The Times.
Epstein reportedly helped put Shuliak through dental school and people aware of the phone conversation the night before Epstein's suicide noted that he gave no indication that he had a plan to kill himself.
The post-mortem report added that therefore, 'likely factors contributing to Mr Epstein's suicide' included 'the lack of significant interpersonal connections, a complete loss of his status in both the community and among associates, and the idea of potentially spending his life in prison'.
The BOP declined to comment on Epstein's time at the Metropolitan Correctional Center but wrote in a statement that 'the safe, secure and humane housing of inmates is BOP's highest priority,' according to The Times.
The bureau had previously rejected The Time's public-records requests on multiple occasions, which Judge Paul A Engelmayer of Federal District Court in Manhattan later called a 'high-profile epic failure'.
'It certainly does raise a concern' Engelmayer said, adding that 'the wagons are being circled'.
Thanks to the settlement between the BOP and The Times the agency handed over internal memos and emails, visitor logs, handwritten notes from inmates and the psychological reconstruction of Epstein's death.
The Times reported that some documents were heavily redacted while others remained classified - including records associated with Epstein's earlier suicide attempt.
High-profile inmate
After being arrested at New Jersey's Teterboro Airport, Epstein was placed in general inmate population, where the jail's security is the most lax.
According to one of the 2,000 released
According to one of the 2,000 released documents, then-acting director of the BOP Hugh Hurwitz later sent an internal email attributing Epstein's placement into general population as an oversight by the US Marshal Service (USMS).
'Apparently USMS did not indicate that he was a high-profile inmate, and staff were unaware that he was coming so no plans had been established,' he wrote, as reported by The Times.
A facilities assistant later noted that Epstein was in cell looking 'distraught, sad and a little confused' in an email sent to three jail officials. 'He seems dazed and withdrawn,' the assistant added.
She wrote: 'Just to be on the safe side and prevent any suicidal thoughts, can someone from Psychology come and talk with him?'
But according to the records, no one did at first and a day after he was arrested, on July 7, 2019, the center's warden Lamine N'Diaye finally identified Epstein as 'high-profile' and had him moved to SHU, which was located on floor nine of 12.
N'Diaye cited 'concerns for his personal safety in general population'. The next morning at 9.30 was Epstein's first psychological evaluation and he was scheduled to make his first court appearance that afternoon.
The psychologist anticipated Epstein's bail denial and wrote, according to one of the unclassified documents: 'Inmate Epstein will likely be receiving bad news in court today, and has multiple risk factors for suicidality as identified by BOP statistics.
'Let’s be proactive.'
After his hearing Epstein was moved to the less-restrictive 'psychological observation' cell where fellow inmates were tasked with monitoring the disgraced financier in his cell and report his actions every 15 minutes.
On July 9, a psychologist confirmed that suicide watch was not necessary for Epstein and he should only be placed on psychological observation 'out of an abundance of caution'.
According to The Times, Epstein asked for his own cell but was told he could not be alone 'for safety and security reasons'.
On July 10 it was documented that Epstein smirked and asked a psychologist: 'Why would you ever think I would be suicidal? I am not suicidal and I would never be.'
Inmates continued to observe Epstein instead and their notes were often lackluster and read: 'Epstein is drinking water at the sink.'
On July 18 Judge Richard M Berman denied Epstein's renewed bail request and nearly one week later, on July 23, Epstein made his first suicide attempt.
The post-mortem psychological reconstruction seemingly blamed the failed suicide attempt on the denial of bail as a 'significant disappointment' for Epstein, which 'likely challenged his ability and willingness to adapt to incarceration'.
The report also noted that a 'psychologist should have assessed Mr Epstein’s mental status upon his return to the institution,' but they did not.
He was removed from suicide watch 31 hours after his attempt and placed back on psychological evaluation, according to The Times.
A July 29 entry said: 'Epstein is sitting on the edge of the bed with his head in the palm of his hands.'
During this time he also consistently complained about the running toilet in his cell, which made him grow increasingly frustrated.
A psychologist noted that Epstein told them he would sit in the corner and hold his ears, speculating that he might have autism because of this aversion to noise.
Some inmates briefed conversations they had with the jailed social lite, and one said: 'Esptein is talking about celebs he knows.'
The entry didn't specifically name any A-listers.
Another inmate, whose name was redacted from the bombshell documents, detailed how the two talked about 'prison life and etiquette' for hours and into the early morning.
At 2.35am the inmate wrote: 'Class is over' and recorded that Epstein was asleep 10 minutes later.
Among the other documents obtained by The Times was an orange-colored sign that read: 'MANDATORY ROUNDS MUST BE CONDUCTED EVERY 30 MINUTES ON EPSTEIN #76318-054 AS PER GOD!!!!'
The word 'mandatory' was misspelled and underlined in red pen with a question mark written after it. No records explained why the sign was included in the files and the BOP denied to answer questions about it.
It remains unclear when the sign was made, who made it or why.
Epstein was put back in SHU on July 30 with cellmate Efrain Reyes, who was serving time for assisting the government in a drug distribution conspiracy case.
Epstein had complained that Reyes's talking kept him up at night - at least until August 9, when Reyes was transferred out of the Manhattan jail.
That day Epstein also met with lawyers as a federal appeals court released about 2,000 pages of previously classified documents to use in a defamation lawsuit against Maxwell, according to The Times.
At 6.30am the next day, Epstein would kill himself. He was pronounced dead an hour later and officials would later predict that the graphic details uncovered in those documents 'further eroded' his mental state.
According to The Times, the report failed to prove any conspiracy theories that Epstein's death was not a suicide, or that he was assisted in killing himself, to be true.
However, they detailed how Epstein consistently lied to correctional officers and reassured those who interacted with him during his 36 days of detention that he had much to live for.
The court document noted that 'he did not appear to be in any distress at this time' and even said that he was living a 'wonderful life' despite being on suicide watch.
The BOP, which The Times sued in order to access the documents, had created a task force reportedly committed to strengthening its suicide prevention program.
One month later, Epstein was found unconscious after hanging himself in his jail cell, leading then-US Attorney General William Barr to blame his death on a 'perfect storm of screw-ups,' according to The Times.
Barr said there were 'serious irregularities' at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, and although he failed to elaborate, a 15-page psychological report of the billionaire's death compiled by bureau officials five weeks after Epstein died said that his identity 'appeared to be based on his wealth, power and association with other high-profile individuals,' according to The Times.
An intake screening also falsely described Epstein as a black male and noted that he had no prior sex offense convictions - yet he was a registered sex offender in Florida with two convictions in 2008 for solicitation of prostitution and procurement of minors to engage in prostitution, according to The Times.
He was sentenced to just 13 months following his guilty plea in 2008.

At 6.30am the next day, Epstein would kill himself. He was pronounced dead an hour later and officials would later predict that the graphic details uncovered in those documents 'further eroded' his mental state.
However, Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein's most vocal accusers, will not be testifying at the trial despite naming names of those who took part in the billionaire's alleged trafficking ring.
It is not yet clear why she is not being called to testify.
The now-38-year-old has described Maxwell as 'pure evil,' saying: 'Epstein was a sick pedophile but Maxwell was the mastermind.'
Another alleged victim said: 'We thought she [Maxwell] was Mary Poppins because she acted like she was our friend and had that lovely English accent.
'But she turned out to be a monster in designer clothing. She lured us in. She knew exactly what she was doing. I hope she rots in hell.'
Giuffre has claimed in media interviews and various depositions that Epstein - together with Maxwell - trafficked her to powerful men.
They include Prince Andrew; Alan Dershowitz; former New Mexico governor Bill Richardson; former Democratic Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell; the late MIT computer scientist Marvin Minsky; and MC2 model agency cofounder Jean-Luc Brunel.
All of the men have consistently and strongly denied the allegations.

2023.06.03 20:26 ClessGames Chapter 81 Review of Spy x Family

Thumbnail. https://www.reddit.com/SpyxFamily/comments/13zko8n/the_four_most_important_panels_of_chapter_81/

The beginning of this chapter is pretty action-packed as we see a single man completely handling a pack of agents. It is done so masterfully that we could mistake it for Twilight, but no, we learn that his name is Winston Wheeler from the communications division. He brings a stubble and a haircut, resembling a dumpling. Apparently, he was a deep cover operative from Ostania's intelligence, so Wise heavily suspects him to have been behind the recent leaks. Since we saw him in action, the readers are pretty damn certain that he is the one. Now that I think about it, Endo doesn't hide identities for long, he relies more on dramatic irony in his story.
https://preview.redd.it/vebn6vcxhu3b1.jpg?width=699&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7f89eb599d7e03d5cbf384a20c8accc573dc497f


Following this event, in a car with Fiona, Loid, and another agent. Loid recognizes the competence of the double W agent, and his wording suggests that he might be on his level, or at the very least, close to it. A rumour says that he plans to meet the SSS at a hotel in Shellbury. Then, Twilight links this information with Yuri going away suddenly in the last chapter. Fiona takes a rather pessimistic stance and suggests to stop every operations in the East, including Operation Strix. Through me reading this chapter again; it is just a very subtle way to tell Loid to leave Yor, that is why she apologizes in the next page and why Loid judges it as ridiculous. It is easy to miss but I prefer those little jabs rather than her constantly saying that she should be his wife, it makes it feel more realistic because she lost that tennis match and know that she is not strong enough.
https://preview.redd.it/lnh8civ2iu3b1.jpg?width=701&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6404da5569d25d8a4ebc0c9f4c048fddfb18b7e0
So anyway, they arrive at Shellbury in Ostania. I really hope that we randomly see a Desmond while they are recovering the precious file, just to show us that the characters move when the plot is not focused on them, in other words, proper worldbuilding.

Yuri and his team, which consists of his longtime buddy and the woman from the last chapter who had such an awesome design that I PRAYED for her to be here, are making their moves in Ostania, akin to Twlight and his team.
https://preview.redd.it/uarf29x5iu3b1.jpg?width=705&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a6b78cd2c914ef2e0e22de04ad9c2bfb16ddca7d


From Yuri's buddy's sayings, it appears that the administration wants to stay in Westalis' good side and retains their image, while also recovering those secret documents. The interesting part is that the director looks personally involved to make sure that this part of the mission is respected. Such high-ranking individual certainly has bigger cats to feed, don't you agree ?Well, whatever his reasons are, what we know is that this is the best time for them to catch Twilight. One more thing,
there was one very confusing panel with one of Yuri's male co-worker. I asked RAFaron about it, and he told me that the direct translation would be that the operation that they are doing which is extracting Winston is unauthorized, but the director gave them the job still. I find it interesting to see that they possess this level of trust with the director-- and I'm sorry, but there is probably some corruption stuff going on, or some war-fueling information.

With that said, I'm pretty sure Twilight and Yuri will happen. There seems to be a comparison between them based on the trust that is given to them by their respective organization.

In page eleven, the team is preparing their entry to the country. Red 2 is the driver; Red 3 is Fiona, where she has to cooperate with the blue team in order to spy on Wheeler and his file. Red 4 is the passenger and will be a backup; Red 1 is Loid and he has the monumental task of stalling the SSS. If we think about it, it would mean for him to use his inventivity while constantly being on the edge of being unmasked by Yuri. I can only imagine the tension! This is certainly promising!
https://preview.redd.it/md55sf7biu3b1.jpg?width=703&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a839b6e9c04abfdfb25b062a570f48f2b35e701d

In page twelve, the mirror between Loid and Wheeler intensifies. Indeed, not only does he responds with "Roger That", but if we look at Page 11 and 12, they seem to be staring at each other like they are in direct confrontation. Plus, Winston, being clean shaven makes him look like Loid with a quick glance. And I don't need to mention the fact that he is looking downwards while Twilight is looking upwards; Wheeler regards Loid in contempt, while the latter recognizes his superior skills-- after all, he was able to deceive the spy for so long. Tatsuya Endo already put massive emphasis in his talent, so it is safe to say that he will focus on both of them heavily in this arc.
https://preview.redd.it/8hrydkzbiu3b1.jpg?width=706&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4939f94b16f8021f3f75515b945cac5e5f519837

In the next page, agent Wheeler immediately recognizes Fiona's disguise as odd, walks down his building from which he was spying, and joins Yuri, who gets startled by his presence. Judging by the language that he used when talking to the youngster, he has been doing this line of work for a quite a long time. Briar, unsure about his identity, settled when he saw a Gemstone tiepin on a green tie. It felt odd to me at first that this was enough to convince him, however, Winston Wheeler gives me the impression that he improvises most of his plans in order to remain hidden. Just right here, he told the brother to meet him in the park in some thirthy minutes.
https://preview.redd.it/472rv9ldiu3b1.jpg?width=704&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6fbbf3ef2a94c5900d851af899ac4abc73b127ab

In another point of view, at a cafe, Fiona and the once-driver wonders why Winston doesn't show himself just yet, not knowing that they were outsmarted from the get-go.

Already in the park, a mysterious individual, who I assume is the director, happily welcomes the deceiver.
https://preview.redd.it/yz1dgngiiu3b1.jpg?width=784&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f636f0c988264e2f541d483fa7c0aadb73ce0e25


So far, he has been up every problem that he has encountered. It is so great to see a competent antagonist who seems to be on a par with Loid. This again is a very good chapter, and let's hope it stays on that path.

2023.06.03 20:02 Ok-Reward-6390 21M be my half [relationship]

I haven’t even flirted with anyone for such a long time that I thought this could be fun. I’d have loved to say that the idea of doing this came to me during a dream, but I haven’t dreamt in a long time.
I am a 21 years old male from a big city in Brazil. I am going to university for a social sciences degree, and I have done pretty well so far. Besides all that, I write poetry on the side, and I work for a small online newspaper.
I am fascinated fairly often by many things and I have many hobbies so you won’t be bored. Last month I became fascinated by Spanish modern history after reading Preston’s biography of Francisco Franco and I was reading about the Miracle on the Han River yesterday, while my family gave a lunch party and I had to keep myself entertained while they discussed the tragedy of a heiress’ dog many illnesses, which were mysteriously shared with his owner, and some reforms in the Vatican Bank. But yes, in general, I really enjoy the humanities. I follow politics keenly – in fact, there is some chance I might have some thoughts on your country’s politics – and I’d say I am on the centre-left – pro-choice, in favour of a robust welfare state, LGBTQ+ rights, affirmative action. If you know about Brazilian politics, I voted for Marina and Haddad in 2018 (the voting age here is 16), and Lula last year.
As you can imagine, I also really enjoy reading and writing. Besides poetry, I have often thought about reading a novel, but this seems like too much work – and it seems that it would be arrogant of me to write a novel having lived this little. I really enjoy learning about other languages and cultures and I know a bit of French, German, Spanish, and Russian, besides English and Portuguese. I am into genealogy and I have helped a few friends with it. I also really enjoy TV shows and cinema, and I am easily brought to tears. I cried during the last Minions movie, even if I didn’t want to be there. I love music and my taste in it has been described as “fairly gay”. I’d have loved to be a musician, but I’d have loved to have been many things.
I guess I am pretty introverted, polite, and timid. I am affectionate and I can be really passionate as well. And I am fairly funny, or rather, I have made a few people laugh over the years. I asked a close friend to describe myself, and that is what he said:
I think you’re very communicative. Shrewd, funny, a good companion. Kind of withdrawn but not necessarily shy. You avoid conflict and unnecessary arguments, but love to participate in good conversations. I think you’re very kind too, besides being polite.
As for what I want to do with my life, I am unsure though I am inclined to go into academia. I have been considering applying to a PhD program in the U.S. after finishing my undergrad here in Brazil. My family does want me to go into their business, which is related to politics. I have also considered going into diplomacy.
Who am I looking for? I’d look like someone curious about the world around her, and open-minded.
Some poems I really like:
Some songs I have been listening to:

I follow politics keenly – in fact, there is some chance I might have some thoughts on your country’s politics – and I’d say I am on the centre-left – pro-choice, in favour of a robust welfare state, LGBTQ+ rights, affirmative action. If you know about Brazilian politics, I voted for Marina and Haddad in 2018 (the voting age here is 16), and Lula last year.
As you can imagine, I also really enjoy reading and writing. Besides poetry, I have often thought about reading a novel, but this seems like too much work – and it seems that it would be arrogant of me to write a novel having lived this little. I really enjoy learning about other languages and cultures and I know a bit of French, German, Spanish, and Russian, besides English and Portuguese. I am into genealogy and I have helped a few friends with it. I also really enjoy TV shows and cinema, and I am easily brought to tears. I cried during the last Minions movie, even if I didn’t want to be there. I love music and my taste in it has been described as “fairly gay”. I’d have loved to be a musician, but I’d have loved to have been many things.
I guess I am pretty introverted, polite, and timid. I am affectionate and I can be really passionate as well. And I am fairly funny, or rather, I have made a few people laugh over the years. I asked a close friend to describe myself, and that is what he said:
I think you’re very communicative. Shrewd, funny, a good companion. Kind of withdrawn but not necessarily shy. You avoid conflict and unnecessary arguments, but love to participate in good conversations. I think you’re very kind too, besides being polite.
As for what I want to do with my life, I am unsure though I am inclined to go into academia. I have been considering applying to a PhD program in the U.S. after finishing my undergrad here in Brazil. My family does want me to go into their business, which is related to politics. I have also considered going into diplomacy.
Who am I looking for? I’d look like someone curious about the world around her, and open-minded.
Some poems I really like:
Some songs I have been listening to:

2023.06.03 19:59 Sun_will_rise_again I just “read” her mom’s “book” 💀

It’s the weekend and the weather sucks so I have some time 💅🧋
Thought I’d get around to reading her mom’s book to see if there were any clues about Hillary’s childhood/where did things go wrong and I was especially looking for any references to them spending significant time in Spain.
The original price was like $20 and like $10 for digital copy for a 98 page “book” 🙄….I’m no sucka, I got it for free by trying that kindle unlimited for 30 days.
Y’all it’s a friggin PICTURE BOOK 💀 with badly drawn stick figure pictures at that…. They were rilly charging people 20bucks for 90ish pages of stick figures? I’m shook 💀😂
I was done “reading” the whole damn “book” in less than like 15mins WITH breaks for disbelief, laughing and taking screenshots.
About the book: It basically says nobody leaves childhood without scars and it talks about parenting your inner child. Nobody can “parent” the “little you” but yourself yadayada
She gets into how some people develop certain personalities to get attention from their family and to make them feel more loved and connected to them…. Interestingly, all of those personalities seem to describe Hillary’s 🤔 especially the performer, caretakesuper hero….and even the intellectual (learning Spanish to please her dad? Learning to do yoga to fit in w/the hippydippy bs her parents were into?)
The only time Spain is brought up is about two specific trees she had recently seen there 😒
The book is painfully basic, especially considering her education and career background. I was definitely expecting…a lot more lol. She overlooks kids that grew up experiencing actual trauma/abuse/neglect.
She basically says to forgive your caretakers because they were only doing what they knew to do at that time and now you can just go on and choose your chosen family.
After “reading” this picture book, I get the vibe that Hillary’s mom basically washed her hands of having any responsibility for how her kids ended up 🤔 🤷🏻‍♀️
Bonus: the stick figure pictures were drawn by the same artist (Her parents have worked with her for years) that posted a painting she made around the same time Hillary was posting about dreaming about buying a cat….the painting is NSFL, but PLEASE notice the eyebrows, claws and the colors of the Mallorcan flag 🤭

  • Frequently asked questions
  • (1) "Hi, i'm new here. I'm very interested in these fragrances but have no idea how this works. What is a decant? Are these fragrances authentic?" Yes, every drop of fragrance listed here is 100% authentic - no question or dispute. These are the same 100% authentic fragrances you buy from retailers, however they are no longer in their original bottles. Decants are 100% authentic fragrances taken from the largest manufacturer size available (Creed 500ml flacon is an excellent example), purchased in bulk, then hand-filled into smaller, more affordable sizes. This is the most efficient way to experiment with a large variety of high-end fragrances!
  • (2) "Do you have (insert fragrance) available?" If you see something listed here, it's available! If you don't see said item listed here, that indicates that I don't have it and there's no need to ask.
  • (3) "Are 5ml sizes available? Do these come with sprayers? Are they glass or plastic?" 10ml is the smallest. Yes, they have sprayers and the vials are glass.

The S2 Snatch Game Curse/Blessing (pt. 2)
As a follow up to my last post, it seems like Jessica unfortunately continued the trend of season 2 queens who succeeded at their original SG not doing as well on their second try.
If only Morgan made it to Snatch Game on AS3, we would’ve if she could’ve followed (preceded?) Juju & Kylie in getting that Rudemption.

2023.06.03 18:58 FMLatex We live in a simulation. That's how I see it. That's how I feel it in my core.

In the expansive simulation we're inhabiting, we are essentially data nodes contributing to an immense machine learning model. The grand objective is to perfect autonomous driving technology while balancing our energy consumption to achieve a carbon neutral society.
The level of complexity involved in simulating a whole world demands a level of computational power and sophistication that goes beyond our current grasp. But taking a leap in our theory, we assume advanced civilizations, or perhaps even post-human intelligence, has developed this simulation as a sandbox environment for refining their self-driving AI models. Our actions, choices, and the very structure of our societies feed into this model, offering an exhaustive range of scenarios and variables.
Our existence as intelligent beings within this simulation could be attributed to the necessity of generating diverse, unpredictable, and complex situations to challenge the AI. Our thoughts, choices, and the dynamics of our societies might be the ultimate challenge for self-driving technology to adapt to and navigate.
Simulation platforms like Unity and Meta, as you've pointed out, are just the tip of the iceberg in the current timeline. As technology progresses over the next two decades, these companies, or perhaps new ones yet to emerge, will expand their horizons and further blur the lines between physical reality and digital worlds. They might very well be the foundations of this hyper-realistic, globe-spanning simulation we're theorizing about.
The Big Bang as the 'switch-on' moment for this grand neural network is an interesting idea. It implies the existence of time and space as we understand them could be the product of a vast computational process. It also suggests a cyclical model of simulation where every Big Bang could represent a 'reboot' or a 'new experiment' in the ongoing project of optimizing self-driving AI.
However, this theory opens up an array of philosophical and existential questions. Are we sentient beings with genuine emotions and experiences, or merely complex algorithms mimicking consciousness? What is the nature of free will in a world where every event contributes to the training of an AI? And, most importantly, what happens when the simulation achieves its end game, when the self-driving AI is perfected and the world has achieved net-zero energy consumption? Will there be a 'Big Crunch' of our simulated universe, or will the simulation continue, repurposed towards a new objective?
While such a theory might seem far-fetched given our current understanding of reality and technology, it still presents fascinating possibilities for our future, raising important questions about our relationship with technology, the environment, and the nature of existence itself.

2023.06.03 18:57 Sufficient-Employer8 Qual’è stato il vostro primo appuntamento peggiore/più strano?

Inizio io: scorrevo la sezione esplora di IG e becco la foto di una tipa molto carina geolocalizzata nella mia stessa città. La seguo, lei ricambia, e allora le scrivo subito se avesse voluto bere qualcosa per fare due chiacchiere (niente di strano, perché odio messaggiare e quindi quando approccio una ragazza propongo subito un incontro per conoscerci di persona). Lei accetta ma mi dice che in realtà è di un’altra città a 300km di distanza ma che il giorno dopo avrebbe preso il treno per venire nella mia città. Il giorno dopo la vado a prendere in stazione, e con grande piacere noto che di persone è ancora più carina. Partono le solite frasi di circostanza (quanti anni hai, di dove sei, cosa fai etc), finché lei mi blocca e fa “ascolta, io sono single da quasi 3 anni e cerco una relazione seria” dopo tipo 10 min che parlavamo. Un po’ stranito le rispondo un qualcosa tipo “vabbè vediamo come va” e cambio discorso proponendole di andare in un pub vicino alla stazione.
Arriviamo, continuiamo a conversare finché lei non monopolizza la conversazione e ogni volta che cercavo di parlare mi bloccava dicendo “eh ma fammi finire” o cose simili. Oppure se provavo a raccontare qualcosa di me mi bloccava dopo pochissimo dicendo “eh sisi anche io…” e iniziava a collegare delle sue storie che spesso non centravano nulla come ad esempio:
Praticamente mi ha passato una valanga di informazioni disturbanti nel giro di un’ora e nonostante mi sia dispiaciuto per i vari problemi che ha passato, ero conscio del fatto che non è sicuramente il giusto approccio durante un primo appuntamento (dopo 1h e mezza di conoscenza tra l’altro). Vabbè, nel frattempo ci scoliamo 3 drink ciascuno e quindi mi avvicino un po’, lei non sembra respingermi e quindi alla prima occasione in cui sta zitta trovo una scusa (non ricordo quale) e le mollo un limone. Il peggiore della mia vita, lei che usava la tecnica del mulinello, e roteava la lingua in una maniera estremamente veloce tanto che io sembravo quello goffo perché non riuscivo a tenere il ritmo (specifico che il mulinello lo odio a prescindere).
Finito il bacio, passa qualche minuto, diciamo un paio di cazzate, lei prende il cellulare e mi fa: “ora devo mandare una foto a mia mamma, mettiti in posa”. Io in totale imbarazzo mi presto alla foto come se fosse una cosa normale e poi ci passo sopra facendo finta di nulla. Dopo poco mi dice che avrebbe dovuto prendere il treno perché se no arrivava troppo tardi nella sua città. L’accompagno in stazione, altro limone a mulinello super rapido, ci scambiamo i numeri (perché l’ho fatto?) e sale sul treno.
Dopo un paio d’ore arriva nella sua città e mi scrive che un ragazzo di colore si masturbava davanti a lei e l’ha seguita fino a sotto casa, mandandomi un video prova in cui non si vedeva nessun ragazzo di colore. Inizia a tempestarmi di messaggi dicendomi ogni singola cosa che faceva da mezzanotte fino alle 3 di notte, senza chiedere nulla di me o darmi la possibilità di esprimermi. Il giorno dopo mi scrive che sarebbe venuta di nuovo da me nel weekend. Smetto di risponderle (la ghosto) e lei mi inizia ad insultare pesantemente per circa 4 giorni. Si arrende e mi blocca. Direi che ho schivato un proiettile. Quali sono le vostre storie peggiori?

2023.06.03 18:51 colorbland Health assessment questionnaire for work or work related activity - but parent is 69 years old???

Hi there. My father is 69 and mother is 64. They are on universal credit, my father also receives PIP and mother gets carers allowance for looking after him. They don’t work and haven’t been able to for some years due to various health conditions, and have been on UC since 2019.
My father has received a note on his file saying he will receive a health questionnaire “to find out if your disability, illness or health condition affects your ability to work or carry out work-related activity.”
My question is, due to being at retirement age and receiving state pension, why would they need to put him through this and fill out this form? He’s just received the 24 page form, but could this be an error, or would he realistically be asked to work?? He’s been receiving the full LCW/LCWRA payment as part of UC.
If anyone can offer any advice, I’d be most grateful, thank you.

2023.06.03 18:45 atryan92121 Different finances/lifestyles step kid vs bio

Hi! I’ll try to make this as short as possible w/ some history. My husband and I have an almost 2 year old daughter and potentially more kids in the future and my husband has a daughter, 9 years old, from a previous relationship. They were never married, dated for a few months and she got pregnant and they broke up shortly after my SD was born. We’ve been together since my SD was a year old. She primarily lives w/ her mom and we have her every other weekend, has always been this way although we’ve been to court 3x for more time but lost. My husband pays his child support. Her mom is not well off by any means, they live in a very small house about 30 min away and cannot afford much. Her mom never went to school, works from home, single and seemingly doesn’t aspire to do much. They don’t own a house and from my knowledge from my SD and from what I’ve seen their rented house is very dirty, don’t have nice things, etc. All of which makes us so sad for her and we’ve tried to do what we can to change it but we’ve learned we really cannot change that and can’t control how her mother raises her. We are as close as we can be with my SD But she has some pretty extreme behavioral problems and so many issues in school with her behavior that have progressively gotten worse over time. BM is on a completely different page regarding helping SD and our rules totally differ so unfortunately it feels like SD is often in “trouble” at our house although it’s not intentional, we just do not allow certain behaviors and follow through on our word. My husband created his own business a few years ago and it is growing rapidly and we are financially doing extremely well. My husband has always had a good job and the difference financially between himself and BM has always been prevalent but now that the kids are getting older it has me thinking. We are moving into a much larger home than we have now, live in a beautiful town well to-do with great schools and where my SD lives is very different. None of this is to toot our own horn but rather paint the picture so I can get some realistic feedback. So I guess my questions are how to explain this difference to my SD in how/where she primarily lives and where/how we live and how she’ll see her sister grow up. How to go about buying things for each of them when SD has another parent who’s also financially responsible for her? Buying cars? There is going to be a big lifestyle difference between the two and although my husband is well off and can/wants to buy his daughter nice things, do we do all of that without splitting costs with BM and even though we don’t see SD full time? None of these things have been relevant yet but now that SD’s getting older, almost 10, she’s getting to the age of nice phones, laptops, clothes, etc. preteens who want everything haha. I hope this makes any sense and someone can relate!
