Salt inconsistencies

2023.03.29 08:34 shimmerbitch Salt inconsistencies

I just finished reading this whole series (very much loved), but what happened to faeries having an aversion to salt? Specifically in The Cruel Prince, it’s stated that Jude and Taryn have their own salt bowl at the table to flavor their food. Plus, Jude added salt to the lunches of Cardan, Locke, Valerian, and Nicasia after being slighted— “Later, when Cardan, Locke, Nicasia, and Valerian sit down to their lunch, they have to spit out their food in choking horror…… But every single morsel in each of my enemies’ baskets has been well and thoroughly salted”. And yet in The Queen of Nothing, in the epilogue, it’s talked about how Grima Mog loves hot sauce, and they all have pizza, which has plenty of salt in it! Is this explained at all? I’ve been thinking about this for awhile now lol

2023.03.29 04:52 JamesCaligo A Cabin vs a Killer from the Stars

Frost collected on the windows as we drove further into the woods. Next to me, my wife of eight years and bringer of many headaches. Now I'll be fair, I contributed to some of those headaches for her as well. But let's face it, we were having marital problems. I know, a cliche sort of story, but a common one in today's modern society.
We were heading to my grandparents' old cabin up north. My aging ancestors said that it would be the best place for us to "reinvigorate the romance" as they put it. Lovely.
But that's not why I'm recording these papers. No, it was something far graver than a failing marriage.
It was 2012 and we had our typical routines. I was an entrepreneur, investing in the stock market with the hopes of making it big. To make the money in this risky scheme of mine, I had to work a regular job just like everyone else. I worked in a factory for cars while my wife, Cassie, was trying to become a hairdresser.
The topic of money was always a strenuous issue for us. Constantly we fought about where the money should be going. Cassie believed that we should save as much as we can, while I was more willing to take the plunge into the market and try to milk this capitalist engine for all its worth.
As you can see, putting those two together created a nasty scenario where two people who wanted to have the best of youthful intimacy, slowly got destroyed by the years of conflicting interests. I still thought she was the most beautiful woman in my life, but the way that she stood in the way of my goals for a better life was starting to make me question this relationship to go on. Hence the cabin.
Now it is December and it's getting close to that date everyone seems to be obsessed over. The end of the world. What a load of baloney.
So that's a little background as to why we're going out to the woods.
But the drive itself was unbearably quiet. Not once did Cassie say anything. She didn't put up much of a fight either when I suggested that we go out to the cabin. Deep down, I think a part of me wondered if maybe she thought this was all in vain and wanted to get it over with. I believe a part of me believes that as well. Perhaps this is all a wasted effort and the ending result will be our inevitable divorce.
But who knows, there's always that slim chance. And when I looked up at the sky, I saw that there was a meteor shower already happening above.
"Hey Cassie, look," I said with childish delight.
She looked up from her window with a stoic expression. But I noticed a slight twinkle in her eye. From what I could tell, she was surprised to see such a glorious display from the beauty of the stars above. Although astronomy was always more of her thing, I still found joy in the little things.
"I'll admit, I wasn't expecting that."
"Right, and once we're at the cabin, we could—"
It just hit me when I realized it. I had no plan going forward. My goal was to get her out of the house. What are we supposed to do the moment we get to that cabin? It's not like I'm going to ask to be intimate right then and there. You got to work things up to stuff like that; especially with how strained our relationship is.
This was going to be more debilitating than I thought. No matter what scenario I thought of, nothing seemed appropriately timed. Make her dinner, watching TV sounded kind of stupid considering that we did that a whole lot back at the house, and frankly I'm not the most creative when it comes to trying to mend a relationship.
"You want to go for a walk later?" she cooed.
My eyes drifted over to her. Looking at her as she fidgeted with her long, light blonde hair.
A small smile grew on my face. At least she was trying to make an effort too. Perhaps there is hope after all. "Sure thing Cassie. I don't mind."
Once we arrived at the cabin, it was within no time that we settled in. Although fully furnished, there was dust everywhere. Surprisingly few cobwebs, so spiders weren't going to be an issue. The old, cabin-like aesthetic with furniture that looked like it dated back to the 1800s and was handcrafted made the entire home feel like it was holding some dark secrets of a mysterious past.
Thankfully my grandparents had been smart enough to remove any food from the house before we arrived. The last thing I'd want is to see year-old spoiled food everywhere, forcing the two of us to clean up any more than we had to.
The only thing I was concerned about was that I spotted something in the closet of the bedroom. My grandfather's guns.
"Couldn't you buy a gun safe old man?"
Cassie peeked over my shoulder and said, "Ugh, why is that even here?"
"Hey, my grandpa was a gun lover. What did you expect to find here?"
"Those things should be melted down."
My wife, though I still love her, was heavily against guns. She believed that they could all be taken away from the civilian population.
Frankly, I thought the exact opposite. I believe that it should be every person's right to get one. Maybe not a semi-automatic or shotgun, a good pistol or revolver would be satisfactory enough for me.
I quickly moved her away from the stash and we returned to our usual business, not thinking about anything else.
The walk would have to happen tomorrow morning. And after driving for the last ten hours, I can safely assume that we wanted to sleep in.
As we were getting ourselves ready for bed, I looked at my wife with hopefulness bubbling in my heart. She always tried to do everything So graceful, considering she came from a family that was quiet, elegant, and frankly made more money than I could ever hope to. Why she wants to become a hairdresser, I had no idea. Perhaps a change of pace or out of spite for her parents.
I thought about saying something to remind her that I still loved her. But before the words could even escape my mouth, there was a flash of a bright light coming from the window.
She looked up and our eyes widened with a fearful stare.
I turned around, wondering what was causing that. It was too bright for me to even see out the glass. Then a loud bang followed afterward, making me believe for a moment that something disastrous was going on. Was it a nuclear war? A random volcano? A freak storm? My mind was racing with every possible scenario. But as quickly as it came, both the sound and the light vanished into the woods.
"Are you okay?" Cassie said, hunkering down behind the bed.
"Yeah— I was afraid I was going to go blind there for a moment."
"I tried to look away as quickly as I saw it. But I was afraid I might go deaf from that sound."
Despite it being freezing outside, I opened the window and looked around. There was no smoke anywhere. Nor was there even a remnant of the light flickering somewhere off in the distance.
I caught the smell though. It smelled like burning rubber. Or perhaps it was more like plastic burning. Either way, it was awful and I quickly shut the door, not wanting any of that to get in.
"That was weird,"
My wife agreed and surprisingly, she wanted me to come to bed. This was a bizarre turn of events for me considering that she never once cared. But perhaps it was because she was scared. Reasonable response.
The next morning, we went about our habits and freshened up. After eating a light breakfast, we finally managed to put on some snow clothes, and go for that walk.
The brisk air and gentle breeze was more than I expected to handle. But I feel like the nervous tension was definitely keeping us warm. I never realized how hard it was to talk to her.
"Cassie... what do you think was that strange light last night?"
Another brief moment passed before she replied, "I don't know. I couldn't get a good look."
Oh well, at least we got to go on this nice walk. Thankfully both of us wore boots because the snow was unusually high.
Not too far down the road though, we spotted a house. There was already a family outside. A man, a woman, and three kids. Two boys, one girl. They were playing in the snow, building snowmen and forts. They waved to us, and it was a bit of a bitter reminder about how we had squandered our marriage with our short-term goals in mind.
Cassie had this longing in her eyes. I could tell she wished that we would have done the same. And if I'm honest with myself, maybe parenthood would've been something nice.
We waved as we passed by, but neither of us wanted to talk about the matter.
Moving further down the road, I could spot some smoke rising from deep within the forest. I looked at Cassie, but she hadn't noticed it yet. I pointed it out to her and we were both curious about what could be causing a fire in the woods?
"Want to check it out?" she asked.
"Only if you want to?"
"Do you or do you not?" she said more forcefully.
"Yes! God all right," I replied back in my own angered way.
I led the way, she followed behind as we trudged through the snow away from the road.
As we got closer, I could smell that horrible stench again. Now I was certain we were getting close to whatever it was that caused that late last night. Perhaps it was a meteorite or a satellite.
Finally, we cleared past the last batch of pine trees and saw what it was. But a huge crater with something metallic in the center.
"Is that a ball?" Cassie remarked from behind.
I moved closer to the edge of the crater, looking down at it. Every time a snowflake touched the metallic surface of the orb, it instantly turned into steam.
I decided to circle the edge of the crater, willing to see if there was a way to get a full view of what it was. Just out of curiosity. I wasn't sure what it was actually; it was a gray orb, no unique details other than that it was 6 ft tall I believe, and that was it.
Well, that's what I thought until I moved over to the other end of the orb and saw that there is an opening to the inside. It looked like a seat. Which made me come to the conclusion that it was a space pod.
"Does NASA build space pods, Cassie?"
"Not to my knowledge. I don't keep up with space stuff."
As I kept inspecting the pod, I noticed that there was some green liquid that was trailing off into the snow up to the crater until it vanished into the woods.
"What in the world?"
Suddenly the piercing sound of children screaming as well as a man and a woman broke through the forest, causing my heart to beat erratically like a pounding drum. Those are sounds I never want to hear.
Cassie's face ran white like the snow around her. She looked almost like she was about to faint just from how sickening those screams were. They had such an oppressive fear behind them, something that may my blood run like freezing water through my veins.
I went back to Cassie and wrapped my arms around her as we kept looking around frantically. Both of our minds raced about what could have caused that sound. But then I remembered that the other cabin was not too far from us. The one with the family.
I managed to convince Cassie that we needed to run back to the house. But in actuality, I just want to get over to the other cabin to make sure that family was safe.
We kept running as fast as we could until finally when we reached near that cabin, I saw with all my despair-inducing horror why they made such a tormented display of shrieks.
Bile came fast up my throat, and I had to hold myself back from throwing up by the horrific display.
My wife also gave way to shrieking, so loud it was that it was actually more irritating for me but I couldn't blame her.
The poor family. That poor, poor family...
We moved on but I couldn't stop thinking about how every single one of them had been torn apart like mincemeat. Scattered about and indistinguishable. There was a hand here, a few toes there, something had shredded them until they were nothing more than a gruesome display of carnage.
We quickly left the scene.
When we got back to the house, I quickly decided to call 911. I told them everything about what we had seen and they said they would send over a squad car to the house.
But that wasn't the whole truth that I gave them. All I told them was about the massacre that happened over at that family home. I didn't tell him about the spherical thing that we found in the woods.
My wife was still anxiously walking around in circles, checking every window as she went.
I ran out to the car, thinking that it would be better if we just left right now. I tried starting the car, but it just kept sputtering but no life. Something was wrong, the car should work, I gave it a full tank of gas.
I got out and noticed that there were some bolts and scraps of metal half-buried in the snow. When I bent down to look underneath, I saw that the entire fuselage had been torn open. Something had deliberately destroyed the car.
Running back inside, I slammed the door shut, and locked it. I went even further to place a chair and wedge the doorknob. Now I was desperate. We had no car, and there was no way I was planning on walking out there again. All we could do was wait for help. At least I was able to make that call on a cell phone because when I went to turn on one of the lights, there was no electricity flowing through. The wires had been cut as well. Whatever did this, it was smart and it was targeting us.
Cassie had at this point started breaking down into tears. She was scared. I was scared. But I knew that I needed to be there for her. Even though our marriage isn't so good right now, there's no way I could leave her in such a vulnerable state.
I felt that maybe I should do something to comfort her, what else could I do? What could either of us do? The only thing that we were able to do was to wait for assistance.
I stretched my hands out to her and pulled her in towards my chest. She didn't even try to fight back, but rather she buried herself. This was probably the most affection I've gotten from her in a long time.
Hopefully, the police can handle this. I wasn't too sure if we could make it all night. Every little cracking sound from the cabin was enough to get my hair standing up. Nothing seemed to have been damaged, so I had to come to the conclusion that whatever "it" was didn't come inside.
It would seem that we were in for a night of no sleep.
The next day, there was a knock on our door. I was disturbed from my rest on the couch with my wife next to me.
I tried my best to get up without disturbing her and made my way towards the door. But I stopped before I went to open it.
"Who's there?"
"Police," a voice said weakly.
I took a deep breath and exhaled. How reassuring.
I opened the door and I saw that a bloody police officer was standing in front of me. He had his hand covering over his abdomen which was dripping with it.
"Geez, what happened to you?"
He was practically about the stumble over until I caught him. Wasting no time, I brought them over to the armchair and I knew my wife would not like to wake up to this.
"Cassie wake up," I ordered, panicking.
When she opened her eyes and saw who was sitting near her, she just about screamed but I quickly covered her mouth, much to her shock until she saw it was me.
"Ben, what is going—"
"No time to explain yet, I need you to go and get me some water!" I cut her off.
As much as I hated bossing her around, time was of the essence. I didn't want to say anything to her but I didn't think this poor fella was going to last.
She quickly got up and ran to the kitchen, faster than I would've expected her. Perhaps it was just the adrenaline rush.
I turned to the poor guy who was wheezing and coughing blood.
"Hey, pal listen, I'm going to need you to tell me what happened?"
"Don't worry, I know this looks bad but I didn't walk all the way over here for no reason. I need you to warn the station,"
"About what?"
Cassie came in with some rags that were soaked and gently pressed them onto his abdomen.
He winced quite loudly, but we both knew this was the best.
"Tell them it's a code Protectorate situation— I... me and my partner, we went to the house as instructed. When we got there, we both nearly lost our sanity. It was so gruesome what we saw.
I could relate to what he's describing. It was a messed up sight and I wished I could unsee that.
"When we went into the house to investigate, something lunged out from the darkness. It cut clean through my partner before he could even have time to react. I fired eight shots into that thing. It was so mortifyingly alien."
"So we're dealing with an alien?"
"I don't know if you can count that thing as one. It was so savage, so brutal. Naked and abominable. I quickly got out of there but that thing managed to get me in the stomach. I fired one more shot near its head and that seemed to scare it away. Then I came here."
Both my wife and I were awestruck. So there really was an alien in our area. And it's killing people, how original. But my biggest concern at this moment was the fact that we were now caught in the middle of it.
The cop coughed a few more times— drips of blood coming down his chin.
My wife quickly rushed over with the cloth to try to clean it out so that he could breathe properly, but he just grabbed hold of her wrist, and through more agitated coughing, he choked, "Leave if you can,"
His eyes quickly went lifeless and he fell limp in the armchair.
His hand released my wife and she quickly backed up into me. Held her in my arms as we both stared at the lifeless man who gave us the only advice I think he could say to us.
But I had to honor what the fallen cop had asked me and I got back in touch with the police to tell them that the cop died after investigating the murder scene. I gave them his name and they were ready to send more help until I cut the lady off and told her that he requested Protectorate. They cut the line after that and I had to deal with questions I had no answers to.
But then a new voice answered, " Please evacuate the area. Your area has been labeled by the Protectorate Extermination Committee as a targeted zone. You have less than one hour to comply with this direct order."
Well, that wasn’t what I was expecting to hear.
No sooner after hearing those words, Cassie ran back to the kitchen and started washing the blood off of her hands. I took a blanket and covered the officer. But I was going to heed his words.
I went upstairs and quickly started grabbing what I could and throwing them back into our bags. We were leaving and that was not up for any discussion. Thankfully Cassie was on the same page as me.
After about ten or twelve minutes had passed, I finished packing, only to hear the pounding beat of a rotor. That was a helicopter flying overhead.
Quickly I went outside and tried to get a good look at it. It was a Blackhawk helicopter flying rapidly.
Out of desperation, I started waving my hands, hoping that maybe they'd land and get us out of here much sooner than what my car could manage for us, but they flew off. I know they saw me, but they simply ignored me.
Cassie came out of the house and asked, "Did they just leave? I heard them flying by and thought that maybe they'd land?"
"I don't think they're looking for survivors. They don’t look like any military group that I recognize."
"What did they look like?" her voice trembled.
"I don't know who they are, but their helicopter was painted black and there was a symbol on the side. It looked like a shield with six wings coming out from the side and an eye in the center of the shield."
We heard the sound of distinct gunfire off in the distance. Whatever it was, I doubt it was military engagement. There was only one firing and it was followed by deafening screams of a man. Only to be drowned out by something unnaturally low and clicky. But this roar boomed across the land.
That was coming from another cabin not too far from us. Whatever it was, surely we were going to be next in the line of fire for this thing. It must have been going around destroying people's vehicles if there were still people around after what happened to that first. I can't imagine all of our neighbors still being here willingly.
I ordered Cassie back in the house, knowing full well that something bad was about to go down when I saw three more of those Blackhawks flying into one single location.
I shut the door again and told Cassie to get down as low as she could. I didn't want a stray bullet hitting either of us, but I couldn't help but remain curious to see if they could get it.
I was expecting them to rain down machine-gun fire, but instead, I saw three huge plumes of fire shoot out from each of the choppers. They were trying to burn this thing. They were hitting it hard too. The amount of flames coming down at such a rapid speed made me think that it could catch the entire woods on fire. Thankfully it's winter, so I don't think a forest fire is likely to happen.
But they never stopped firing and it also seems like they were chasing after whatever it was. My eyesight's not so good, so I wasn't able to get a visual of what it was. But I saw something running on all four, darting through the woods as the Blackhawks chased after it.
"What's happening!" Cassie cried.
I had forgotten about her. I was expecting bullets but I guess it wasn't so dangerous after all.
"They're trying to burn that sick monster."
"Is it working?"
I didn't have the heart to tell her that I think the thing is getting away. Whatever it was, it was weaving fast enough to where the helicopters couldn't keep up. But at least it seems like it couldn't hurt them either.
"They're driving it away. It's moving far away from us. Maybe we could leave right now."
Cassie started panicking and stuttered, "We— we are not going out there,"
"Cassie don't be stupid, we have to get out of here. That creature might come back for all we know—"
"And I don't want to be outside all vulnerable when it gets here!"
That was always something I hated about her. Once she made up her mind on something, there was no way you were going to get her to change her mind.
"It's always about your issues, it's always going to be your way! Don't you realize that there is something that we cannot handle, running around willy-nilly, we've got helicopters outside blasting it with fire that doesn't seem to be doing too much, and you want us to stay here like a bunch of sitting ducks because you're too scared to try and Escape like the officer who died for us, said so!"
"YOU THINK I WANT TO STAY HERE AND GET TORN APART BY THAT SAVAGE!" she got up from her hiding place and pushed me as hard as she could.
Don't get me wrong, I didn't fall down to the ground, but when she gets angry, she's a little extra forceful than you would expect.
She tried doing it a second time, but I caught her arms and threw her back, but not hard enough to make her fall.
"How about you calm down, and THINK!" I shouted back at her with increased ferocity. I was at my limit and I was having thoughts of leaving her here. We were on the verge of divorce anyway and the last thing I should care about is someone who will become a stranger to me and no time.
"I did, I want to hide and not be an open target!"
"And I don't want to sit here like an all-you-can-eat buffet for that thing!"
Before the argument could continue down this heated path, one of those flamers happened to be coming by, burning everything nearby. Thankfully it didn't hit the house or even the yard for that matter, but it was enough to leave me with a shaking stomach.
We both dropped to the ground but I was still curious about what was happening outside.
I crawled up to the front window again and my eyes went wide as I saw one of the helicopters blasting its flamethrower down. Inside the inferno, that creature was walking about untouched by the heat.
I whispered to myself, "It's immune to the fire? How?"
The flames eventually stopped raining down. I think they got the idea too.
I looked up at them as one of the soldiers was changing their weapon of choice from a flamethrower, to something a little more ballistic...
"Run!" I ordered. "To the bathroom!"
Both of us got up and as we got into the first-floor bathroom, the sound of explosions rained down from above. Small-scale explosives were now being used against this alien. It let out another one of those guttural bellows, apparently, this actually hurt it more. I also could hear the constant firing of bullets raining down.
But this was all that I could interpret. Cassie and I were both huddled in the bathtub, praying to whatever God exists that we don't end up being shredded by bullets in the process.
Already I could hear parts of the house getting hit by stray bullets as it seemed like the helicopters were moving more erratically as they chased after this creature again. At least it seems like they were moving away from us, but those were the most intense 30 seconds of my life.
Finally, everything fell silent other than the distant explosions that slowly toned down.
Both Cassie and I were breathing heavily, I even found myself wrapping my arms around her instinctively.
"Are you okay?" I asked.
She wouldn't quit crying. She never responded to my question. Granted it was a stupid question. Nothing about this was okay.
I decided to concede. Perhaps we should just hunker down and hope for the best. Although I was still completely on board with up and going, Cassie was partially right. We would be caught out there in the open and there was no guarantee that these people who were fighting the monster were even going to care about civilian casualties. They certainly didn't mind incinerating entire sections of the woods away, regardless of whatever houses happened to be nearby.
"Cassie, we'll stay here tonight. But I'm using my grandpa's guns."
"I don't care, I want that thing dead. I'll take one myself."
Well, this was a sudden change of heart. Someone who is always against this stuff suddenly wants one. Though I should have known better when I saw her only pick up the pistol.
"If you fail, I would much rather be able to take the easy way out of this mess."
Honestly, I'd rather have that option as well. But I have to try. Plus, if I was to die today, at least I can go down with this beautiful shotgun in hand.
So that would be the update so far. A black ops group is currently leveling the area as best they can to try and kill this thing, my wife is ready to do what she can to avoid a painful way of dying, and I've got a shotgun, scared out of my mind as I wait for this thing to eventually try and get us as well.
And thus began another long night of no sleep.
The clock had now turned to 12:43 p.m. I was dead tired and the exhaustion of staying up for two days without getting any consistent sleep was starting to take its toll.
Thankfully the sun had come up and this creature did not attack during the night. I'm telling you, that is probably the most luck we're ever going to get out of this.
Cassie was getting more sleep than I was, but she refused to leave the bathroom. She stayed in that tub the entire night, while I made myself a little pillow fort in the living room. And before you start getting judgemental of childish behavior, if I'm going to die, I'm going to die in comfort.
All throughout the night, I heard the occasional bursts of gunfire far off in the distance. I tighten my grip around the shotgun, preparing myself for whenever I would need it.
This particular shotgun was a special type that my grandfather was obsessed over. And it packed quite a wallop. A Browning BPS. With sleek, black metal, this high-powered shotgun is all that stands between a ravenous, deadly alien that came from outer space, and me getting torn in half.
And so began the wait.
Hours were going by. Every moment that I heard them chasing that thing out there, was another moment that told me that it wasn't over yet.
I was drenched in sweat, despite the temperature getting increasingly cold with every passing hour. How we managed to survive this whole time is beyond me. I guess the tension alone was enough to make sure that we stayed warm throughout the whole thing.
Then I heard a rumbling sound outside. Then I heard multiple rumblings. And then suddenly a blast of sound exploded so loud that it shattered all of the glass in the house. I was so scared that I almost fired off a shot.
I quickly got up from the pillow fort, Cassie was looking out the bathroom door. She was as confused as I was.
"What are they doing now?"
When I took a look outside, I had a surge of hope. Outside were 8 tanks, as black as the Blackhawks. They were firing off at a distance, firing off their machine-gun fire at the same time as they tried to destroy whatever this thing was with cannon fire from their turrets.
When I peered further out at the patch of woods that were being shredded to pieces by the barrage, I saw that the alien was moving as quickly as they could to avoid. But it kept stumbling around, and explosives kept burning away layers of its skin. There were more helicopters outside that were trying to flame it as well as firing explosive rockets at it.
I was cheering them on. The creature was definitely taking a beating from the constant attacks and it was only a matter of time before that thing would get too worn down. Already I could see parts of its flesh burning off.
"Come guys, get 'em!" I shouted instinctively by the hype of us actually winning. Maybe I would get out of this alive.
From my distance, I had to wear my glasses to get a better view. But my god the battle was intense.
"I think they've nearly killed it!" I shouted in early triumph.
Cassie came out of the bathroom and crawled next to me, wanting to join me and watching as they finally killed that alien. We both watched with anticipation as they finally seemed to be destroying its tough outer exterior.
The animal looked disgusting. That barbaric creature had two long arms with five fingers that looked about as long as a human forearm, it had a triangular-shaped head, rounded around the edges. I distinctly remember seeing it have bluish-gray skin earlier, but I guess after all of the flaming, bullets, and bombings, now it was reduced to a muscular frame.
It staggered after getting hit for over a day's worth and I was surprised that they were willing to keep pounding this thing so hard for that extended time.
Suddenly the sky overhead had a long, loud engine noise burst through the sound barrier.
We both looked up and my heart sank into what felt like ice-cold water because those were F-22s coming down fast from the sky.
I looked over to Cassie who looked like she had frozen over. Without much rational thought, I grabbed hold of her and we both ducked low to the ground.
The glass exploded above us as I heard missiles coming down, explosion after explosion detonating and leveling everything nearby. They were going to keep hitting this thing till it was either ash, or the entire area had been left in ashes.
Cassie kept crying but I also felt a huge overwhelming feeling of dread laying on top of me. I hugged her tightly, wanting to give myself some warmth from the otherwise cold, apathetic attack that we had found ourselves stuck in.
She kept whispering through choked up words, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry,"
"Cassie, listen, we're going to be alright. You hear that! We are going to live!"
The last explosion was so close to our house that I think part of it was coming apart at that point. The whole house shook violently and Cassie and I were even momentarily lifted off of the ground by how much power was behind that last explosion.
I slowly got back to my feet, my ears ringing exceedingly loud. I can barely hear whatever Cassie was saying to me. I still had the shotgun in hand. I was clutching that thing as my life depended on it.
Everything was a blurry mess, I was so dizzy I couldn't even focus entirely on anything.
Cassie was trying to tell me something. She kept pointing around me, her face full of fear.
Finally, things were going back to normal quickly and I was able to understand what she was trying to say.
"IT'S COMING THIS WAY!"
My eyes widened and as I turned around, the entire wall exploded inwards. I found myself being tossed over the couch and Cassie was quick to try and crawl back to the bathroom. I think she left her pistol there.
When I got a good look at it, I realized it was at death's door. It was all bloody, muscular, one of its eyes had fallen out. And it had this blood-filled shrill escaping from his mouth that made your skin curl in itself. Frankly, it sounded like no animal on Earth.
Bullets started raining in, a little too close for comfort for me.
I had to make a decision, the thing was eyeing down my wife. She turned around towards me, her eyes filled with tears.
Without much hesitation, I pumped the shotgun and unloaded an entire blast into its chest while it was distracted.
It screamed out in a horrific shrill, probably more stunned that a simple firearm is enough to finally get this thing injured at this point.
I kept blasting, pumping, blasting, pumping, repeatedly doing this while screaming as I kept shooting that sick animal. It swung its broken fingers at me, cutting a bit of my leg in the process. I fell down for a moment, but I knew I had to get back up for Cassie. It didn't do so well when I finally was able to get close enough to it, point the double-barrel right at its head, and blast straight into its mouth.
Strangely enough, that wasn't even enough to kill it. It fell back, squirming around in writhing pain, and I was shocked when I saw Cassie come out with her pistol and unload all eight bullets into the creature as well. I joined her in the attack, and we kept shooting at it until it finally stopped moving.
We both were out of breath, completely in shock, and frankly just wanting to go home. Maybe even see a therapist.
I rested on the floor next to Cassie who had lost her strength as well. We were just too tired to even run and I had no intention of getting out on my own.
Through the smoke, four soldiers in full body armored gear painted black entered through the gaping hole in the wall.
I was so tired I was sure I'd lose consciousness. Sure enough, everything faded to black. I could briefly hear the chatter of radios, but what they said I could not remember.
When I woke up, I was sitting in a hospital bed. I looked around in frantic movements, wondering where Cassie was— where my wife was?
I saw her completely passed out in the bed next to me. I was so relieved to see her safe and sound.
When I looked around, I saw that we were in a military infirmary tent. It was still snowing outside, but thankfully these tents know how to keep you warm.
But as I was about to get comfortable in my bed, two guys in suits- not black suits, thankfully they weren't going to be so cliche— walked in with two guards in uniform behind them.
The man who appeared oldest, complete with a bald head and big, bushy, gray mustache said, "Good morning soldier."
I chuckled a little bit. "Soldier? I wouldn't say I'm a soldier."
He had a charming laugh that I could tell you enough that he was more of a ladies' man in his spare time when he wasn't working to be some high-up government official.
"Ah, but weren't you the one who managed to kill that extraterrestrial?"
Clearly, he knew what I had done, so there was no point in lying. "Yes sir,"
"That makes you a soldier I guess. You may be just a civilian, but anyone who has the guts to take on something that took tanks and Blackhawks an entire day's worth of fighting to kill is deserving of such a title."
"I'm honored," I responded with unease.
"Well, I feel like it's the least we can do considering that even though we did most of the work, the fact that you managed to kill that thing with a shotgun and revolver is my definition of bravery. So we will be needing you to do a few favors for us in return for some added benefits for your heroism today."
I was well-versed in this kind of stuff. You watch enough movies, read enough books, you learn a little bit about what they're going to tell you next. Of course, I had to sign the documentation that neither of us would ever talk about what we had seen today. We were to never acknowledge any information that was related to what had happened today. And we were to tell anyone we came across that we had a lovely second honeymoon trying to rekindle our marriage.
But in return, I did get some financial help from these guys. They gave me a reward of $100,000 each. Although I'd like for more, I'm not going to pester them with that feeling. Beggars can't be choosers, right?
Although after all of that happened, I and Cassie did manage to recover somewhat of our marriage for the time being. What happened that day wasn't going to save it though. In 2018, we decided to go our separate ways. But we still get together occasionally to talk about what happened on that fateful winter day in 2012. She says that she still has nightmares of that thing chasing after her. I don't suffer from the nightmares of that thing, but I can understand where she's coming from.
The recent events have changed that. After everything that happened and now that I've been a single man for quite some time now, I recently became more interested in what's going on above us.
I started collecting information about aliens, thinking that they were nothing more than little gray men and the occasional giant monster creature. Oh, how I was wrong. I was extraordinarily wrong about what was really going on in the stars.
But I suppose that isn't relative to this story. Despite all of the horror that I experienced, the horrors I experienced now are far worse, but I think it's time I sign off on this message. And so I will go back to a night of no sleep.

2023.03.29 04:48 Grailswar1 48 [F4F] #Cleveland, Ohio fun people with a really twisted imagination, looking for that special girl to abuse horrifically.

We have been at this a while anything its a slippery slope as most are. We have met some great people, had some amazing experiences and ultimately keep wanting to go that little bit further. Like most things when you look back at where started it seems far off indeed.
So here we are, somehow in Ohio this is fine but only for the time, adventure calls. There are different kinds of adventure of course, exploring Bondage is one of those roads we keep travelling.
We are so into CNC and BDSM that vanilla threesomes are barely of interest, sure a beautiful woman is alluring, but one that wants to be choked and violated, forced to endure bondage, well that is our kind of girl.
Heres the breakdown:
US- a couple.
Male (me) 47 5'10 190, in good shape.
Female (wife) 48 5'3 116 in great shape and aftermarket additions that you will notice.
What we're looking for, a woman, (this is a hard rule) no guys, no penises, I have mine thats enough, I dont get why women like them, they look dumb, women are streamlined and have such fun parts. so no men, we have no need for more man parts.
Age- 25 and up or very mature for your age.
We like soft, thin, feminine, in shape, we dont like BBW, as for race any is fine, we would like to play with an Asian woman as we never have though that is just a plus, we're open to any race.
Clean shaven, a little hair is okay, but a seventies bush or armpit hair, leg hair, hard pass.
Kinks- Lets remember we're not trying to insult anyone here and consider this the fair warning that we like some really hard stuff, so if you dont or dont think people should be allowed to consent to what they want to do, then you're just not going to like what we have to say.
Still here?
Good girl. (Gentle biting on the neck as I whisper it)
The basic's, slapping, flogging, whipping, restraints, choking, hair pulling, degrading (verbally, whore slut basic stuff). Now if any of these are are hard 'no' we may be able to work around them but, if 2 or more are on your list, well you might want to swipe whatever way is away, because its going to get worse.
Roleplay- you're a visitor, who gets abused, not to far from the truth, but the best stories always intertwine the reality and fiction.
The harder stuff- this stuff that you can object to, and we get it, its all the harder stuff that we kinda grew into and get that not everyone is going to be all for it, you can pick and choose.
Fisting and or large objects and stretching, DP we really like to DP a woman, you pinned between us, so sexy, so full, eyes rolled back my hand at your throat, giving all you can give but we're wanting more, my wifes nails gently biting your skin. Yeah, we like DP.
Shockers, Estim, prod the jolt of pain, if you do it wrong it can be dangerous, so we have studied and are careful to make sure everyone gets out without any long-term effects. A shocker to the ass, breast, leg or clit, while you're being fucked, in between being stimulated the contrast of pain and pleasure, we love to see that in a sub.
Degrading (part 2, the first was level 1, this is the upgrade) We like the mental aspect of BDSM, its that connection when you have it with a sub, its so sexy. If she wants to be broken mentally, we want the tools to do it. We need some input here, tell us what are the words the things that you secretly hate the feellings that you have that you want to expose but need to be deep in session, walls down, to really admit what you feel about yourself. Its primal and goes far beyond the spat 'slut, whore' If you know, then you do, if not it may not be your thing. Its ours though, let us in, so we can break you more effectively.
Paddles, with the intent to bruise, we like to see our handywork, the paddle gets the job done. We're artists in a way, and you're a canvas.
Overstimulation- the toying till you're cum drunk, you're hurting but were going to keep fucking you hitting you choking, using you like our whore, on this night you are ours and we want you to give yourself to us completely. You have our undivided attention.
Squirting- if you can we are going to be super interested and want to bring you home for a nice night that will end very harshly, we'll keep you hydrated.
The REALLY Hard- Most people won't be for the following, if you are and you have the other third of this mysterious amulet which we have had since we were babies, we need to meet you.
Sounding, the placing of smooth metal rods in your peehole for stimulation, usually it results in you peeing and losing control, which is sexy.
Watersports, you being degraded by my wife peeing on you, or you peeing on yourself.
Waterboarding- you strapped to a board and being tortured against all Nato sanctions, it is rough and extreme and youll lose focus when your clit is being stimulated and you're dry drowning. Not for everyone but sexy if you're the woman we're looking for.
Knife play- we dont do cutting, but using the knife as a prop forcing you at knifepoint to surrender and subject yourself to everything we demand.
Needles- This would be a first, but the acupunture needles look interesting, this would be something wed have to really discuss and plan for, so not 1st session kind of stuff.
The off limits- things we wont do. Nothing Illegal, no kids (both gross and illegal), no breeding you, we dont want any subsiquent kids, not with you, not with anyone nothing ruins kinky fun like crying babies.
No- hard drugs, we dont use anything that alters our thoughts during BDSM, bad mix. So we expect you to be clean too.
No- longterm damage, lets have fun and kink not hospital bills.
No- dudes (I thought it was worth repeating)
No- feet stuff, we dont like feet.
No- furries, not my kind of fun, I'm not dressing in one of those outfits.
Most other things are on the table- do you have a fantasy? Tell us about it we are likely down to try it. Is it twisted and kinky? then we really need to hear about it.
Location- US, we'll take care of travel, if we get along and have a connection, come spend a weekend see clevelands sports teams (we dont do sports so whatever, I hear were not missing much) and get abused (more than by just having to watch Clevelands teams take a whipping).
Experience, we have been doing this for a while but you dont need to be experienced, some of our best experiences were with beginner subs, we all have to be on the same page and have a clear understanding of where this is going, and where it stops.
Lastly- consent, there has to be consent and anything were going to do must be discussed and safewords will be in place. Dont tell me you dont need safewords, youre either unhinged or lying, this should be like a haunted house scary but you know you can leave at anytime. (I mean halloween haunted houses not creepy old houses with ghosts, those are scary)
If you got this far, lets talk, if youre deeply offended by us, please lets not talk, lets just part non-enemies.

2023.03.29 04:40 Rainbow6SiegeCreator What If Legends and Canon Merged? Part 8: A Bolstered Hope

On the barren desert world of Tatooine, we see two sapphire sabers clashing with 4 soldiers surrounding them. After the younger of the two jedi was knocked to the ground, he began to notice a firefight in the orbit above.
Luke: Master, look up in orbit!
Obi-Wan: An Imperial Star destroyer? Here? There hasn’t been one around here in years.
In the battle above, Vader had commanded that the ship be neutralized for capture. Many rebels aboard the now captured ship took defensive positions the Empire prepared to breach the door. As the door was being sliced open, the explosion had sent fragments and smoke throughout the hall, giving the stormtroopers ample time to fire upon their targets. With the rebels on the backpedal, two inconspicuous droids made their way to Princess Leia so she could move the plans away from the ship.
When the captain of the security forces was surrounded, Raymus Antilles became the first target of interrogation by Lord Vader.
Vader: Search the servers for the plans.
Stormtrooper: Yes, my lord.
As a squad of stormtroopers cleared the server room. They began searching through the many files before sending one trooper back to report their lack of files.
Stormtrooper: The plans are not in the primary computer.
Vader: Where are those plans you've transmitted?
Raymus: We have received no such transmissions. This is a consular ship, we're on a diplomatic mission.
Vader: If this is a consular ship where is the ambassador?
Before Captain Antilles could answer, he had succumbed to the choke hold Vader had him in, and when Vader realized this, he had literally tossed him aside.
Vader: Commander, tear this ship apart until you found those plans, and bring me the passengers. I want them alive!!!
As Vader's forces swept through the ship, officers aboard the destroyer had seen an escape pod.
Officer 1: Sir, one of the escape pods has been jettisoned.
Officer 2: Hold your fire. There's no life forms aboard.
Officer 1: We need to report this to Lord Vader.
In one of the darker sections of the ship, 3 stormtroopers came across a woman in a white dress and cloak.
Stormtrooper 1: There's one. Set for stun.
After a brief exchange and 1 stormtrooper is killed, Leia then collapses after getting stunned and the pair of stormtroopers are about to bring her to Vader.
Stormtrooper 1: Inform Lord Vader we found our ambassador.
As Vader had intensely debated the Princess, Obi-wan, Luke, and the Bad Batch had found the escape pod with two droids that Kenobi could definitely recognize, despite not seeing them in almost 20 years.
3PO: Thank the Maker! I'm so glad that you came to rescue us. We came from a ship that rudely sent us away.
Kenobi: C-3PO? R2-D2?
3PO: Yes, I am C-3PO, human/cyborg relations, and this is my counterpart, R2-D2, who has been saying repeatedly to find an Obi-wan Kenobi.
Luke: Then you found him. Master, how do you know these droids?
Kenobi: That is a story for when we return back home.
When the pair of Jedi and clones returned to Kenobi's hut, R2 went to Kenobi and gave him the button input and Leia's message began to play for all of them to see.
Leia: General Kenobi. Years ago. You had served my father in the clone wars, from what he had told me prior to your rescuing me from Daiyu, you were a capable leader of men, and able to win battles for the Republic. Now, the Alliance is in its darkest hour. Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope.
Obi-Wan had remembered rescuing her on Daiyu almost a decade ago, and knew that this would be a good test for Luke to face Vader. When the Bad Batch were curious to know what the plan was, Obi-wan had begun formulating a rescue attempt.
Kenobi: We need to head to Alderaan and meet with Bail once again. If we can meet with another spy within the network, we can use their ship to slip past the Imperial patrols.
Tech: If we do get caught, I can create some fake chain codes and get us past if we get stopped.
Luke: What do I need to do when we get to Alderaan, Master?
Kenobi: You will stay at my side in case Vader makes a surprise visit.
Luke: Vader? I'm not sure I'm ready for this.
Kenobi: Don't give into fear. It leads to the Dark side.
Luke: Yes, Master.
Aboard the Death Star, Leia is brought to the cell block and Vader begins the interrogation. A black, spherical droid with a syringe containing a truth serum floated into the cell approaching the Princess after a path was cleared.
After the serum entered Leia's system, Vader began to assist the hallucination, and slipped in a little bit of the truth unbeknownst to both parties.
VadeBail: Princess, this is your father. I've been cut off from my royal guard and need to retreat from Imperial Forces. Where is a rebel base I can evacuate to?
Despite Vader's efforts, Leia had resisted the urge to tell the truth, at the cost of immense pain and suffering. When the serum wore off Vader took the droid and reported to Tarkin on the observation deck.
Vader: Her resistance to the mind probe is astonishing, but she will break soon.
Tarkin: I understand, Lord Vader. We have to meet with the rest of the Moffs on level 81C.
As the many officers and Moffs have a heated discussion about the very station they are residing in, Tarkin and Vader come in and their mere presence had stopped the bickering, if only for a small moment.
Moff: The Rebellion, who's too well equipped, mind you, will continue to garner support in the Imperial Senate…
Tarkin: The Imperial Senate is no longer a concern to us. We had just received word that the Emperor has dissolved the council permanently. The last remnants of the Old Republic have been swept away for good.
Moff: This cannot be! How will we maintain control without the bureaucracy?
Tarkin: Regional governors, General Tagge. They will keep the systems in line through fear and maintain control over these territories.
Tagge: Again, what of the Rebels? If the plans remain in their hands, they may find a weakness and exploit it.
Vader: The plans in question will return to Imperial custody.
Motti: Any revolt made against this station by the rebels will be a futile gesture, no matter how much data they obtained. We are now standing inside the ultimate power in the universe. My suggestion is that we use it!
Vader: The power you boast about this technological terror, has inflamed and bloated your pride. The ability and decision to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force.
As the Moff began to insecurity salvage his pride in the station to Lord Vader of all people, Vader had grown tired of this Moff's rambling and discrediting of the Force, and raised his hand to hold his tongue for the officer, or rather his throat.
Vader: I find your lack of faith disturbing.
Tarkin had noticed one of the moffs struggling and realized that Vader's physical domineering would further divide the conference and dely any decisions the Empire had to make.
Tarkin: Enough of this pointless bickering! Vader, release him!
Vader: As you wish.
Motti then began to regain his breathing and a newfound level of fear for the Dark lord.
Tarkin: Vader will extract the location of the Rebel Fortress and crush the Rebellion in one swift stroke by the time this station is operational.
Tarkin then adjourned the meeting and when the officers left, he sent a communication to the cell block.
Tarkin: Bring the princess to the observation deck. Her interrogation is far from over.
Station Trooper: Yes, Sir.
Tarkin: Observation deck, set course of Alderaan.
Officer: Yes, Sir.
When Vader and Tarkin arrived at the observation deck, they were greeted by the troopers escorting Princess Leia. The leader of the Imperial Moffs then mocked a courteous greeting to the rebellious princess and began his own methods of interrogation.
Tarkin: Princess Leia, how lovely to see you again.
Leia: Governor Tarkin, I knew I smelled a certain familiar stench when I was brought on board, as well as who held the leash of this mechanical monster.
Tarkin: Charming to the last. Before I sign the order of your execution, allow yourself to be my guest in unveiling the full power of this station, assuring that no one will be able to oppose the Emperor.
Leia: The tighter you make your grip, Governor, the more star systems will slip right through your fingers.
Tarkin: Not after this little ceremony, my dear. Since this is a special occasion, I will let you choose which planet will be destroyed first. Depending on your choice, I may disregard your execution.
Leia: The fact you have the guts to end my life surprises me. I never took you for someone to do such a thing.
Tarkin: Since you have proven yourself reluctant to give us the location of your rebel base, this station's inaugural target shall be your home planet of Alderaan.
Leia: No. Alderaan is peaceful! We have no arms to use and would never…
Tarkin: Then you would prefer another target? A military target? Then name the system!!!
Leia couldn't maintain her professional facade any longer and knew she had to pick a system to appease the Imperials' demands.
Vader had told Tarkin prior to bringing her to the observation deck that if she was to choose Dantooine, the place had been cleared out by Imperial Forces when they rescued him.
Tarkin: This will be the final time I ask you. Where is the rebel base, child?
Leia: Dantooine. They're… They're on Dantooine.
Tarkin then began to feel satisfied with the answer and continued with his operation to destroy Alderaan and continue to psychologically torment the young princess.
Tarkin: There. You see, Lord Vader? This one is capable of reason. Continue the operation and you may fire when ready.
Leia: What?!
Tarkin: You're far too trusting. Dantooine has been clear of any significant rebel activity for quite some time now and is unworthy of a proper demonstration. I will credit you for giving me some true information, but it was not the information I needed. No need to worry, Your Highness. Your rebel friends will be dealt with soon enough.
As the main superlaser eye of the Death Star began to charge, the people of Alderaan had no idea of their imminent demise from not only galactic records, but off the galactic map entirely. One such fighter, who had been punished years ago for insubordination was about to reenter the fight when the Empire cut his freedom to operate short.
Saw: I understand that my actions on Geonosis years ago were wrong, and that I had made a tactically unsound move against the Empire. I thank the ones that had rescued us and I apologize for the men I abandoned in pursuit of a goal that consumed me and made me act without honor.
Bail: You have served your sentence and we need your ability to lead now more than ever. Are you willing to keep yourself under control when being handed the responsibility of leadership once again?
A captain of the Alderaan protection detail had warned Bail Organa of the Empire's presence in the system with a large moon-like object appearing in their skies.
Saw looked up and saw it from his seat and whispered what would be his final words.
Saw: No… So this is how it ends. I'm ready. I'm coming, Steela.
As the eight small beams of light focused into a single beam of energy, every citizen of Alderaan sought cover, but the energy blast was too much for everything to withstand. When the blast reached the palace, Bail, Breha, Saw and every citizen, structure, and ship, as well of the planet itself, became nothing but debris, asteroids, and a symbol of the Empire's new capability of destruction.
Moments before the destruction of the planet, The Bad Batch had looked around for any sign of Luke's uncle and aunt. When Luke found the group near a destroyed homestead with Owen and Beru shot and beaten to death by Tusken raiders, Luke began to examine the bodies of the closest family he had for a little over half his life. Obi-Wan found the group and saw his apprentice begin shedding tears over who had been his guardians and family, something Kenobi knew his father had, but in Luke's case it was a more stable family than Anakin's. Luke remembered his Uncle showing him the unmarked stones near the homestead belonging to his biological grandmother and his step grandfather, and began carrying them to the burial plots near the two graves made over 2 decades ago. As the Bad Batch helped Luke bury them, Obi-Wan had some words of advice for the young Skywalker that he had regrettably neglected to give Anakin.
Kenobi: I never told your father this because I was too focused on my mission before the Clone Wars. Even though they had no belief in it like we do, they too are now one with the Force. If you need time to think about your path from this point forward, whatever you choose, I will completely understand.
Luke: It's alright, Master Kenobi. I want to continue my path as a Jedi, like my father before me. I understand why they showed me the graves of my grandparents and why they kept the truth about my father from me. When I chose to go with you, when I was a kid, I dedicated myself to the memory of who my father was. I still do so today. I will not let the memories of my father, my uncle, my aunt, nor even my mother be squandered in my path to be a Jedi.
Kenobi: I am so proud of you, Luke. Your father would be too.
Hunter: I understand the loss of a home, Luke. We all do.
Tech: Yes. Change is inevitable and if we take advantage of it, it'll be for the better.
Luke: Thank you all. Master, I have an idea. You and I will take the landspeeder and head into Mos Eisley and we'll find someone to take us to Alderaan and rescue the Princess.
Tech: What about the Marauder? We can take you there just fine.
Kenobi: You will be hunting the Tuskens that destroyed the homestead and killed the Lars family. Wrecker, you will pose as a wanderer and wizard sent to bring oblivion to the Tuskens.
Wrecker: Do I still get to blow stuff up?
Hunter: Yes, Wrecker. You're "commanding" explosions.
Wrecker: Oooooooooohhhhh!!!!!! I LIKE the sound of THAT!
As Wrecker and the Bad Batch tormented the tuskens, Luke and Obi-Wan went into town to find a member of their spy network and sneak them to Alderaan. When they pulled up to the cantina, the bartender gave them notice about the droids needing to stay outside. When a large hairy creature greeted the master, Obi-Wan understood him and beckoned Luke to follow him to the table where the Wookiee sat.
Han: My copilot, Chewbacca, tells me that you and a few others need a ride to Alderaan.
Kenobi: Yes, and you are.
Han: I'm Han Solo. Captain of the Millennium Falcon. What’s the cargo?
Kenobi: Let’s see, about six passengers, two droids, and no questions asked.
Han You are asking me to transport a lot of people. Given that amount, I have to take a certain fee for any extra passengers. I’d say that would get you about… let’s say… 24,000 credits.
Luke: Master, we can get a pretty decent and comfortable ship with that price.
Chewie then “nudged’ Han, although harder than a human is used to, to drop the price because of who they were.
Han: Alright, Chewie. Fine. I’ll drop the price. If we don’t get a real profit from these guys Jabba will leaving more than a slime trail wherever he goes. Alright, gentlemen, I’m willing to drop the price by 30%...
Chewie roared in a slight protest.
Han: Ok, 45%, because he likes your kind of people. Given that discount, you’ll owe me about 13,200 credits.
Kenobi: Sounds reasonable enough, if it’s a fast ship.
Han: Fast ship? You’ve never heard of the Millenium Falcon?! It’s the ship that made the Kessel run in less than twelve parsecs. Name me one other ship that has done that or even anything close to it!
Kenobi: Alright. We’ll pay you 5,040 now, plus 17,400 when we reach Alderaan.
Han: 22? Hmm. Alright, old man, you got yourself a deal. Meet us in Hangar bay 77 when you’re ready.
When the Jedi left the cantina, Chewbacca went to get the repairs underway and prepared for a fight with anyone trying to stop them. Luke then contacted the spies they had assisted and told them to link with the bad batch. When the Clones dropped the ship in one of the other hangar bays, Tech used the forged chain code and met the group. After a confirmational exchange of ships, The Bad Batch received communications about the deal their Jedi commanders had struck with another deep cover spy.
Just as Han was about to leave the cantina himself, he was stopped by a Rodian with a blaster to his chest. When the pair sat back down, Han explained his tightness for credits to the Rodian messenger of Jabba the Hutt, to no avail. After a few more exchanges of quips and empty promises, both fired their blasters at the same time, but Han’s was the shot that landed in the Rodian’s chest, while the Rodian’s landed on the floor, startling the next customer that walked in. After shots were fired, Han paid the bartender for any damages that were caused by the short firefight.
When the Bad batch got to the hangar bay, they decided to wait by the door and split up walking around to blend in and waited on the Jedi as well as the pilot of their transport. As an Imperial squad came up to the pair near the landspeeder, the squad asked for their identification, but the Jedi have been practicing.
Stormtrooper: Let me see your ID’s please.
Obi-Wan: You don’t need to see our identifications.
Stormtrooper: ‘We don’t need to see your identifications.’
Luke: You will apologize for interrupting our business.
Stormtrooper: ‘We apologize for interrupting your business.’
Kenobi: Move along.
Stormtrooper: Move along. Move along.
As Jabba found Solo, who had snuck up behind him and Han made his case personally. After convincing the large slug-like crime lord to give him more time to pay the debt he owed, Boba had a strange suspicion that that turn of events was not going to transpire.
A black hooded figure with a comlink had found the Millenium Falcon and notified the Imperial Garrison to meet him near the hangar bays. The squad commander had asked for directions and the black-hooded spy pointed through the doorway to Bay 77. As the Bad Batch boarded the YT-1300 freighter, Luke and Obi-wan were right behind them and as Han and Chewbacca were about to board and get it up and running, the squad of stormtroopers had rushed into the hangar bay and Han landed a few well-placed shots, before Chewie fired up the engines and escaped the clutches of the sand troopers on Tatooine.
On the other side of the spaceport, another rebel spy group took the Marauder back to Yavin 4 to take the heat off of the Falcon.
When the coast was clear, the group came out of the hidden compartments in the floor of the ship Han used to smuggle spice. Han and Obi-Wan were coming up with a plan that involved disabling the tractor beam, rescuing the princess, and leaving the station. Tech, Han, Luke and Hunter were the only ones that could fit the Stormtrooper armor so they were going to don the disguises. Echo and Kenobi were going to disable the tractor beam, and Wrecker was going to stay with the droids and update the team regarding the ship.
Han had called out for some assistance with a lot of "cargo" to offload and Echo and Tech blasted the four that came up and stripped them of their armor and weapons. Luke then donned his armor and Obi-Wan held onto his apprentice's blade as the pair split up to perform their parts of the plan.
Wrecker stayed in the Falcon and kept a watch on the two droids while the rest of them went along with the plan. When the group made it to the observation post above the hangar, they decided to get their nerves out in the air.
Tech: I can concur with Rex. These Stormtrooper helmets are really difficult to see out of.
Hunter: Can't say I agree. I'm not having any problems seeing out of this.
Echo: Because Tarkin probably saw your helmet design and mass produced it for the stormtrooper design.
Han: Cut it out! I need to think!
Obi-Wan: Echo, you're with me.
Han: Where are you two going?
Kenobi: Disabling the tractor beam like we planned.
Han: Alright, old man. At least someone remembers the plan.
Kenobi: You know your position, Luke. May the Force be with you all.
After the Negotiator and Clone snuck their way to the tractor beam control room, Han and the rest of the "stormtroopers" began "escorting" their wookiee prisoner to the cell block to get the princess from her cell. Whenever the group was alone, they'd have their own conversations about the past, opinions about those they just met, and put them aside when they regrouped.
After X1 had finished his Force-assisted torture, Leia was visibly shaking from the nightmares X1 put into her mind. In her mind, she kept the image of the Jedi who rescued her and the hope that the rebellion remained safe. The lightsaber wielding commander then felt a disturbance in the force and decided to inform his master.
X1: The princess has been interrogated, but I saw in her mind a forest with ruins, it was dark inside what looked like a temple, but the images flashed at a blazing speed. Also, I feel a disturbance in the Force.
Vader: Excellent work, my apprentice. I have felt it too, but it seems familiar to me.
X1: The one that I have felt is someone far younger. Could it possibly be an apprentice? As Vader and X1 continued to identify who they found in the Force, Vader figured it out and ordered X1 to follow him. They were to update Tarkin about who they found.
Back with the Cell block, the officers and other stormtroopers were killed and another officer had tried to check on the cell block from the comms.
Officer: We heard blaster fire coming from your cell block. What’s wrong?
Han: Uh, uh, my apologies. There was a slight weapons malfunction. We’re alright now. Thank you.
Officer. We’ll send a medical team immediately to your location.
Han: NO, no! One of the stray shots triggered a reactor leak and it’s a rather large one. I repeat, large leak, very dangerous.
Officer: Who is this? What’s your Identification number?
Han had no idea what to tell the officer next and in his stress, fired at the comms and sped up the rescue plan. Luke opened the cell to see Leia get up from her cell’s bed/seat and comment about his height.
Luke: Huh? Oh, yeah. I’m Luke Skywalker, we’re here to rescue you. My master is Obi-Wan Kenobi.
The mention of Obi-Wan sparked the Princess to join in the escape and Chewie, Tech, Hunter, and Han were holding back the incoming waves of Stormtroopers trying to find a way out. When Luke found a grate, he told Han to cover him, but Leia took the blaster and covered him while he used the Force to remove the grate. When the wookiee, clones, smuggler, princess, and jedi padawan jumped into the grate, Luke sealed the grate shut with the Force and they found out that they were in the trash compactor.
Back with the elder Jedi and the clone, they found the tractor beam terminals but Echo did his best to act like a droid doing maintenance. What moved the troopers away from the clone was the Jedi making an imaginary stone appear and knock on the walls, forcing the troopers to check it out. When the tractor beam generators were deactivated, the Jedi and Clone went their separate ways back to the Falcon. When Vader and X1 approached Tarkin they gave him their confirmed identities of the jedi.
Vader: He is here.
Tarkin: Obi-Wan Kenobi?
X1: He also has an apprentice with him. We will put an end to these Jedi and grind the rebel’s efforts to a halt.
Tarkin then recieved a communication from another officer about the Princess escaping her cell with some help. Vader then ordered a new squad of troopers to report to the hangar where the Falcon was kept and capture any others who are aboard or nearby.
As the stormtroopers scrambled to find the Princess and her rescue party, the droids stopped the trash compactor from crushing the group, and when they got the uncomfortable plastoid armor off, Luke departed from the group to get his saber back. As the clones, smuggler, and wookiee saw the Falcon in the hangar bay they had to plan how to get past the stormtroopers.
Leia: You came in that thing? You’re much braver than I thought.
Han: See, fuzzball, I told you she would be interested.
Leia: Keep it in check, flyboy.
In the hangar bay, Wrecker began to get a bit nervous and saw the dorids moving the mechanism before hearing stormtroopers secure the hangar, and lots of them. Before X1 joined his master, he planted a tracking beacon on the Falcon so they could escape and lead them to the rebel base. Just as Echo reunited with the group, Obi-wan had begun hearing a breathing along with two sets of footsteps. Vader and Obi-wan activated their blades with Luke’s gaze fixed on Vader, while X1 had his eyes focused on Luke.
Vader: I’ve been waiting for you, Kenobi. We meet again at last. The circle is now complete. When I left you, I was but the learner, now I am the master.
Kenobi: Only a master of evil, Sith.
As the two blades clashed, X1 had begun charging at Luke with his saber ignited. Luke snapped out of the stare of awe and focussed on his first test. He activated his blade before X1’s sapphire blade could cut off the young padawn’s head with a reverse gripped slash.
X1: It’s been a very long while since I clashed blades with a Jedi. Didn't your so-called master teach you about underestimating your opponents?
Luke: You’d be surprised.
As the two continued clashing blades, X1 continued to use his own version of Dun Moc to excite himself and add more fury to his strikes. During one clash, Luke mentioned that he talked too much and broke the saber clash, landed a kick to his gut and pushed him into the adjacent wall knocking him out. Luke then made his way to confront Vader with Obi-Wan. Luke activated his blade and the duo managed to put Vader on the backpedal. When a blast door closed separating Luke and Obi-wan, Obi-wan was alone in facing Vader.
Vader: Your powers are weak, old man. Your apprentice is strong, but not strong enough.
Kenobi: He may have much to learn, but if you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine. You know you can’t win this, Sith.
As Luke saw Vader and his master dueling, even the stormtroopers took an interest in something that hadn’t happened in a little over 3 years for some, but only 3 days for others. This gave the rebels and droids a chance to escape, but Wrecker was ready for a firefight, and almost raring for one. As Luke saw his amster for what would be the last time, Kenobi surrendered himself to the will of the Force. As Vader took a downward slash from Kenobi’s left shoulder across his chest, but to the surprise of both Vader and Luke, Kenobi disappeared into thin air. This was a lesson that Kenobi had learned while in exile and while training Luke. He became one with the force the instant upon death.
Luke: NO!!!
With that, the stormtroopers focussed their fire on the escaping rebels, and Wrecker was having a blast, figuratively and literally. Luke activated his blade and deflected blaster fire with every shot that came his way, and when one shot hit the blast door’s control panel, Vader began to see the battle for himself. Luke had continued to fight off the Imperial blaster fire despite all the others telling him to get on board. As the Blast doors closed, the only voice that got Luke to budge was that of Kenobi. Vader had heard this and slowly became unsettled.
Kenobi Ghost: Run, Luke! Run!!
Vader: Kenobi?
As Luke ran for the Falcon, the crew lifted off and Vader ordered a squad of TIEs to pursue the Falcon.
X1: No, Master. We have to let the ship go.
Vader: You dare disobey me?!
X1: No, Master. I slipped a tracking device into the ship so we can jump to where the base is.
Vader: I see. Your training has served you well.
When the crew escaped, Wrecker and Hunter manned the top and bottom guns to repel the TIE fighter squadron sent to take them down. Luke had secured Leia and allowed himself to break down and let out some of his emotions, although slowly. In that moment, the voices in his head soothing him were Obi-Wan, Yoda, and a Jedi he had met on Mandalore once.
As Han and Chewbacca began maneuvering in ways that the TIEs were missing most of their shots, Wrecker and Hunter had each tagged 2 as Luke stood in the middle of the guns and closed his eyes. He reached out with the Force and threw one fighter into the other to the surprise of the clones in the turrets. After the last of the TIEs were shot down, they began heading back to Yavin, with Luke passed out from exhaustion. Wrecker carried the unconscious padawan to the bunks and when Leia woke up Luke, the group exited the Falcon and Han and Chewie collected the payment and began to store it in the Falcon.
Luke was going into the briefing when he was stopped by a Togruta.
Ahsoka: Luke. Hey. Are you alright?
Luke: Ahsoka? I thought you'd be in a deep cover operation.
Ahsoka: Master Yoda told me to look after you. I know what happened to Master Kenobi.
Luke: I'll meet up with you later. I have to get to this briefing.
As Luke got into the meeting, he listened to how the battle station was going to be attacked. In the Hangar bay, Leia and Chewbacca had been talking to Han to convince him to stay with the rebellion.
Han: With this payment, I can get that slimo off my back and be done with this Empire nonsense.
Leia: If you do get whoever it is you owe out of your life, what will you do next, in case you didn't realize it, your best friend has been part of our Alliance for years.
Han: What?! Why didn't you tell me, scruffy?
Chewie then explained to Han about it and Han had started thinking about ending their friendship with Chewie right then and there.
After the Bad Batch reunited with their ship, they found a familiar Twi'lek and caught up on everything that went on between them. They even met a young Jacen Syndulla for a short while before hearing over the intercom that the Death Star had arrived in their orbit.
Leia: While the Empire may have found our location, we can still prevent them from wiping us out in both the surface and in orbit. Rex, you and Ahsoka prepare the ground forces for a ground assault and any reprisals after we destroy the station. Ahsoka, if Vader joins the ground assault, you take him down. X2, Grey Leader, you and your Squadron know your mission with Gold and Red squadrons.
As every pilot began boarding their fighters and bombers, Luke happened to run into an old friend.
Biggs: Luke?
Luke: Biggs!!!!
Biggs: What are you doing here? I thought you were still shooting womp rats on Tatooine!
Luke: I've actually been with Old Ben and learned some pretty cool skills.
Biggs: you got one of those laser sword things?
Luke: Yeah, but this was my father's.
Biggs: Still, a Jedi! Whaddaya know?!
Luke: It's a lifetime commitment, but we gotta get up there!
Biggs: Right! See you up there.
After the X-wings and Y-wings got up to orbit and every wing reported in.
X2: Grey Leader, Standing by.
Rebel Pilot 1: Gold Leader Standing by.
Rebel Pilot 2: Red 3, standing by.
Rebel Pilot 3: Gold 4, standing by.
Rebel Pilot 4: Red 2, standing by.
Rebel Pilot 5: Red Leader, standing by.
Biggs: Red 7, standing by.
Porkins: Red 6, standing by.
Grey 3: Grey 3, standing by.
Rebel Pilot 6: Gold 3, standing by.
Grey 2: Grey 2, standing by.
After many pilots fell in line, Luke was the last to finish it off before the rebels advanced on the station.
Luke: Red 5, standing by.
Back on the Ground, Wolffe had made himself known to the princess and offered to lead the ground assault when the battle above concluded. The princess granted his request due to his previous service in the Clone Wars.
Wolffe: Mech, get to the walker and take position near the left side of the temple! Massiff Squad, take your positions near the ruins and cover the walker as it comes by. Hunter, Tech, take a few soldiers and do some recon. Wrecker, stay near the AAC-2 tanks and tackle any additional heavy threats. And Rex…
Rex: I got my position, Wolffe, you gonna command the battle from the Walker?
Wolffe: Yes. What about the Commandos?
Rex: Boss, Fixer, cover the Recon team as they surveil the enemy.
Clones and Rebels: Yes, Sir!
As the battle began to rage above the surface of the battle station, Red Squadron handled the fighters, Grey Squadron targeted the turbolasers near the trench, and Gold Squadron was to deliver the ordinance into the exhaust port that was about two meters in diameter.
Inside the Death Star, Stormtroopers and pilots were scrambling to their fighters and X1 reconvened with his master as Vader began laying out the plan.
Vader: X1, You are to reboard your destroyer and take as many troops as you possibly can for a ground assault. You two pilots, with me.
X1: Master, I will lead the ground attack and catch the rebels off guard. After your role in the defense is done, reboard my destroyer. Let them think you are dead or at least out of commission.
Vader: Go to the other side of the planet before the assault begins.
X1: Yes, Master. All ground troops report to the hangar bays and board the Avarice.
When Vader and his TIE escorts joined the battle, the bombers began their attack through the trench. As the trio of TIEs pursued the bombers, many fighters were too occupied by the other fighters and turrets to divert their attention to Vader. In a few decisive moves by the Empire, all the Y-wings but Gold 2 were shot down, Red Leader, Red 6, and Red 9 were shot down.
Luke: Grey Leader, See if you can take off some of those TIEs, a couple of us are going into the trench.
X2: Copy, Red 5. Grey's 4, 3, and 5, go with Red Squadron and take down more of those fighters and turbolasers. Grey's 2 and 6, with me. We have to cover the trench.
Grey Squadron: Yes, Sir!
Gold 2: Red 3, This is Gold 2. Can you take a couple fighters and get the Imperials off me?!
Wedge: Copy, Gold 2.
Luke then switched on the targeting computer and had Red 7 and Red 2 covering him. Vader then made another attack run. Vader then took down the X-wing on the right and Luke realized that it was his best friend. After Luke was by himself, another voice spoke to him.
Kenobi Ghost: Use the Force, Luke.
With those words, Luke switched off his targeting computer and everyone monitoring Luke noticed.
Vader: The Force is strong with this one.
Rebel officer: Luke, you switched off your targeting computer. What's wrong?
Luke: Nothing. I'm alright.
When Vader had locked onto Luke's X-wing, a stray barrage of blaster bolts destroyed the TIE on Vader's right. This caught Luke and Vader by surprise, but Luke heard a familiar whoop from the smuggler who helped rescue the princess. When the TIE on Vader's left went Rogue and escaped the trench, Vader lost control of his fighter and flew out of the trench.
As Tarkin found a straight shot to the planet, Luke was speeding ever closer to the exhaust port.
Han: You're all clear, kid! Now let's blow this thing and go home!!!
As Luke took the shot, every rebel had their fingers crossed, and every Imperial Moff and officer that remained on the station had kept doing their duties and hoped that the rebels were quashed. As the proton torpedoes entered the port and Luke pulled up with every rebel ship, including the Falcon evacuated the battle station, one large explosion put an end to 2 decades of oppression on a large scale.
Han: Great shot, kid! That was one in a million!
After some more encouraging words from Obi-Wan's ghost. Luke came down from the adrenaline in his system and when the rebels landed, R2 had to go into the repair room and the rebels prepared a ceremony awarding Luke, Han, Chewbacca, Wedge, X2, and many others. Ahsoka and Rex were watching it and the togruta began to tear up because Luke's actions reflected that of her master.
Rex: I recognize that kind of flying anywhere in the galaxy.
Ahsoka: That's our Skyguy.
The following day, the rebels had prepared escape plans for the Empire's revenge. The AT-TE was positioned in a hidden side of the temple and covered in camouflage. The rebels and Clone specialists took their positions as Hunter led the Recon team of Tech, a few rebels, with Boss and Fixer covering their flanks.
Back at the base, Wolffe commanded the Vehicles from the AT-TE with Mech taking the pilot seat. As Rex and Ahsoka led the defense, X1 began leading the assault with Crosshair at his side once again.
With the clone recon team, Hunter found Crosshair with X1 and Hunter had to put aside his rage and report back to the Alliance command.
Hunter: Commander, We have a positive ID on the Imperial Assault. Crosshair is second in command.
Rex: I see. Massiff Squad, take your positions by the fountain.
Howzer: Right away, Sir! Boys, we need to hold the fountain. It's gonna be a clean path for the Empire if they don't make it through the ruins.
Tech: Wrecker, can you position yourself near the ruins and beat down any Imperial tanks?
Wrecker: Sure thing, Tech! I'm ready to blow some stuff up!!
When Leia had begun evacuating the transport ships, Luke, Han, Chewie and the princess had to find locations for a rebel base. As X1 began the charge he sent the walkers through the ruins and tanks through the hills. Crosshair stayed in cover moving with every shot he took.
As the Commandos saw X1 join the battle, they threw 2 thermal detonators at him, but X1 saw this coming and blocked it with the Force. As the two commandos fought the Imperial commander in hand to hand, X1 thought that these commandos would be easy pickings. After Fixer landed a mandalorian martial arts combo on the Imperial commander, the now bleeding commander thought that the fun was over. Boss drew his blaster and X1 drew his own and as the two began to fire, X1 threw Fixer towards the other commando. As the two commandos got up, they both charged the secret sith apprentice, but Boss was stabbed by the commander's sapphire blade. The blade had impaled his stomach, and X1 then slashed across the commando' chest. As the Commando collapsed on the ground, Fixer began firing his blaster at the commander, while X1 deflected every shot until the commando ditched the blaster and extended the wrist gauntlet blades and he lunged from above only to be suspended with the Force. After getting thrown, X1, twirled with the blade, cutting through his chest and decapitating the clone. X1 then pursued the rebels and joined his men.
As X2 had begun repairing the systems along with Echo, Shara had begun helping X2 take down the data spike and extracting the information before heading to the AA guns. When X2 had to reach a certain part on a high ledge, he tried jumping for it, but when he leaped high into the air, he grabbed the item and landed on his feet with some struggle. When X2 and Shara got the data extracted, Echo boarded the Marauder and went to pick up the rest of his squad.

2023.03.28 22:21 throwawayDMV1234 37 [M4F] #Maryland DC/MD/VA Married Dom seeking kinky sub

Me: 37, White, 5'10", DDF, handsome face, clean. Located in the DMV area. Body shot is on profile. I do have a full beard now though.
You: DDF, discreet, kinky or heavy desire to try. I'm not hung up on age or race.
I am a Dom seeking a kinky sub for a long term friendship and sexual partner. Just go give you an idea of what interests me, some kinks below. I'm experienced and this isn't my first time, I prefer and have had years long partners in the past. Hopefully you'll be the next one.
Kinks: Hair pulling, choking, spanking, dirty talking, name calling, slapping, spit, cumshots, deepthroat/throat fucking, porn, etc.
I may be extremely dom in bed, but trying to act it 24/7 doesn't interest me. I want to have a normal friendship and equal trust with you when we're not trying to get off. Basically, I want to destroy you in the bedroom, and then have a pleasant conversation after.
I want to know the side of you no one else does. We all have it. Stuff that is too dirty to share with the people we have to face every day. I want to be the person you can be your honest self with and not be judged for it. I want to talk about your fantasies.
The ideal woman would be within an hour and be interested in meeting weekly or biweekly, but also willing to chat and message back and forth daily if desired.
Sound like we'd make a good match? Drop me a message. If you've read through this then say hello, and tell me the basic things about you, plus your favorite food so I know you actually did. Also, I would like a picture, because I'm going to ask for it eventually. It can be just a SFW body shot, without your face, just something.

2023.03.28 22:05 DrZola707 Not Sure If I Am Looking For Advice, Or Just Needed To Vent

My girlfriend and I really hit it off when we met. A few months into dating each other, I felt myself falling for her, but didn't want to tell her. I wanted to be sure it was love, and not the usual thing of people who fall too quickly.
I knew she was friends with her ex, which didn't bother. I'm friends with two or three of my ex's from past relationships. The only issue I had was the drama behind their breakup, which from what she has told me, I've concluded that the breakup was such a mess because of him. I know you might be thinking that I feel that way because I am bias, but I honestly say that from an objective point of view, though I think she may have been convinced by this guy that it was all in her head.
For some context about her and her friend:
Long story short, girl meets guy, girl and guy hookup which turns into a multi year thing, but when girl finds out that the guy was sleeping with two other people, he tells her they were never "officially" dating. The guy decides to "officially" date one of the other two girls, and my girlfriend stops talking to him.
A few months go by, and they start to talk to try and work on just being friends, but this quickly turned into her sleeping with him, despite knowing he still had a girlfriend. This went on for a month or two, but ended in May after a conversation they had gave her the expectation that he was going to talk to his then girlfriend to end it to be with my now girlfriend.
The details are a little blurry for me here, but what little I know is, that never ended up happening. He stayed with the woman and he convinced her that she "misunderstood what he meant" during whatever conversation they had where she thought he would leave his girlfriend to be with her instead.
I am still not sure if there was another period of time between these events and when I came into the picture, but I assume if there was, but they reconciled and remained just friends.
Fast forward to December:
Her and I meet, we hit it off, and things are going better than you could imagine. Yes the ex turned friend stuff was there and I had feelings about the guys character, but none of the other stuff mattered, because it was before I knew her.
A few months in, she's crying on my couch, and very upset because the friend was being an ass, and was threatening to walk away from their friendship. I do not remember exactly what it was that she said was his reason for this, but what I do remember is the reason led me to the assumption that the friend was upset she had met someone she was happy with and committed to, and would no longer enable him to cheat on his girlfriend. Basically he was throwing a tantrum, and showed me that he was only being her "friend" because he wanted to use her.
I told her what I though, and felt that if this is how he is going to handle her being happy, then she should really reconsider her friendship with him, because from my perspective, he did not actually care about her. She agreed and we carried on as best we could despite the fact that our evening plans had been completely derailed by this guy's BS.
A week later
We were shopping when she noticed a Lego set that she said her work friend had been trying to get, but had been unable to find. It wasn't a cheap purchase, about $260 plus tax, and I made the joke "Wow you must like your friends better than I do! Who's this for, your boss?". She told me it was for that guy.... The guy, who a week prior threw a fit because she wouldn't sleep with him and enable him to cheat anymore. The guy who had her in tears on my couch. I told her I was under the impression that they were no longer friends, and was confused because it was sudden flip to "we are friends again". She told me that this is how they always are, and they always end up making up. It really bothered me how causally she said it. Like... Do you not remember how upset you were over whatever awful things it was he was saying to you? How could you just disregard how he made you feel so casually?
Another week goes by
We had planned to have a date night in and hang out at my house for drinks, dinner, and a movie, but she was on her phone texting the entire time. I don't me she was on it once or twice, but every couple of seconds, every time I walked back into the room after getting drinks, food, letting the dog out, or using the restroom, she was on her phone texting away. At one point I mentioned I had noticed she was on it a lot, and asked if everything was alright. She said something about her friend who thought he had bipolar disorder and really in his head about it, so she was just trying to be there for him. I told her if she needed to call her friend, I could go into another room of the house and give her some privacy, but she said it wasn't necessary. At one point our phones ended up next to each other, and I grabbed the wrong one by mistake. When the lock screen came up, I see that it was multiple texts from that guy, and started to become suspicious.
When she left my place I told her I would need the weekend to myself to finish up some housework, but really needed time to myself to decide what I was going to do. By Sunday, I had gone over to her place, and broke up with her.
I had convinced myself that either she was cheating on me, or would very soon be cheating on me with this guy. I have been through that before, and I decided it would be better for my own well being, and avoid the heartbreak of finding out down the line that they had been sleeping together. I told her I wasn't feeling the relationship, and wanted to end it, or some similar version of that BS answer.
Three weeks later
I missed her. Even in my decision to avoid heartbreak, I had broken my own heart. I reached out to meet for drinks that Wednesday evening. I told her I made a mistake, that I was scared of how quickly I had fallen for her, but that I was very much in love with her, and I wanted to try and make it work.
I discover that she had started talking to some other guy, and immediately knew who it was... And I was right. Apparently he had broken up with his girlfriend at some point over the past few months, but was not in a good mental state to discuss dating with her at the time, so they decided to table the conversation.
I decided to tell her how I was feeling about their friendship prior to our split, and that her now talking to the guy made a part of my mind feel as though I was right to suspect her while we were together. Over the coarse of several very difficult, painful, and emotionally exhausting conversations, she tells me that the real reason he was threatening to walk out of their friendship several weeks back, was because he said he realized what he had with her before, and had asked her to leave me and be with him... But she told him no. She told him that she was committed to me, and that she had moved on.
So as you can imagine, I am now feeling awful that my mistrust in her was misplaced, and it should have been directed at him. Yes she hid what his real intentions were, but she wasn't stepping out, and she wasn't planning to in the future. After a few weeks of being in this limbo state of not knowing if her and I are dating exclusively, or if she is still trying to figure out if her and the friend will try dating. I finally tell her that I cannot continue this is she is trying to choose between me or him, and I would not continue to see her if she was going to be seeing him in a romantic capacity. But even if she doesn't choose me, I supported her decision, but still felt she deserved better than being with her ex/friend.
This particular fight ended with her finally realizing that her decision to hide what her friend had been asking her to do while we were together was a piece of what ultimately led me to end the relationship before. My boundaries were that she not text with him while we were together, and that I was not comfortable with them hanging out privately, whether that be just the two of them in public, or at either of their apartments.
It has now been about a month since we got back together, and it hasn't been easy. I have been vocal about being uncomfortable with their friendship, because the guy still texts a lot while we are together, and I have felt neglected both emotionally, and physically. My romantic gestures and comments about how much I enjoyed the evening are met with a reply that makes me feel more like a friend. When I attempt to initiate sex with her, I get the impression she isn't in the mood. I'm sure someone else here will understand what I mean, but when you start making out with someone and they suddenly pull back and just give you a peck on the lips... but don't continue doing anything after... Just makes me feel like they aren't in the mood... But I digress. More importantly, she had told me, when we first reconnected, that she didn't want me to stop saying that I loved her, but that she wasn't ready to say it. She said she was having similar feelings before, but when I broke things off, which from her perspective, was out of the blue, she was really hurt and hadn't gotten over that. I continued to say it, and even though I did not say it expecting anything in return, it started to crush me every all I would get in return is a cute extra squeeze or a smile and hug.
One weeks ago
She stayed the night, and I am already logged in for work in my office when she gets up. Before she leaves, I ask her to text me if she still wanted to get together that evening, since she mentioned not having any plans the day before. She tells me she is going to be at her friends helping clean up their apartment, which happens to be in the same town as the friend/ex. I do my best to contain my paranoia and let it go. I text her a few times after work, just little things asking how work was, how her night is going with her friend. There is about an hour between my texts and her replies, which normally isn't something someone would pay attention to, but knowing she has her smart watch and phone around at all times, it did not help my concerns. In my last text I asked her to let me know when she got home so I could say goodnight. She only live 10 minutes from me, and I had actually wanted to drive over and bring the desert we had not gotten to after dinner as a surprise.
She texts around 11pm saying that she was going to bed. So I drive over with my surprise desert in tow, only to discover her parking space is empty. I call her phone, but it goes straight to voicemail. I text and her phone is not notifying me that her notifications aren't silenced, but they go unread. So I wait... I waited for almost two hours, called several times, and left several messages before I finally gave up. She calls me back about 10 minutes after I get home asking if I am alright. I tell her yes, and ask where she is. She says she decided to go to her mom's and spend some time with her after leaving her friend's apartment. I told her where I had been, and that my brain had spiraled into convincing me she was at her friend/ex's place, and was lying about where she had been all evening.
She isn't angry, but actually very concerned about causing me to feel that way. She came over to be with me because I was a wreck. After we talked for a bit we decide to go to bed. She goes into the front room and returns with an already packed overnight back despite her decision to go to her mom's place being a last minute decision. She can see that this has sent my mind into another spiral and explained that she had pre packed one and left it in her car after falling asleep at my place the night before, when she wasn't originally planning to. I told her that it was all very coincidental, and did not look good. I told her that I trusted her, but that she had to understand that my trust in her was very fragile currently, and I needed her to be more mindful of it going forward so it could heal. The next morning she is very upset over a several nightmares she had that were about me leaving her because of what happened. She asked me to cuddle and comfort her because she didn't want to lose me. And she told me she loved me. I could not bring myself to say it back, because to me it felt like she was saying it under duress as a result of me being so upset. I told her that I appreciate if she means it, but said it was not the time for it to come out.
I decided to increase my therapy sessions to talk through my insecurities in the relationship and work on ways to get myself out of my own head more quickly rather than being consumed by it. Things started to improve over. We actually enjoyed several nights/days in a row of fun time together without getting into a difficult conversation or fights.
We went out to a concert two nights ago after spending most of the weekend together. She wanted to come over a few hours before the show to hangout, but when she arrive, she was already in a bit of a mood, and so was I. I had not gotten as much of my day job work caught up from the past week where I was a mess from her not being home and all the insomnia caused by the stress of it all. She had a lot on her plate with her day job and house work, and had apparently gotten a little overwhelmed by it all. We tried to power through it, but it was a little tense until we met up with our friends at the bar for drinks before we all made our way to the show.
Now keep in mind, I had not been eating much lately, and hadn't had a proper meal in over 24 hours, and am now four or five cocktails, and one beer in. She made some joke as a response to me teasing her to the effect of "Ok well I'm cute, I'll find someone who will come home with me", which was not a great joke in my opinion after all the shit we had gone through that week, but I let it go. At one point we are up near the front with our friends watching the band, and I am really enjoying the moment holding her and enjoying out evening. I lean down close to her ear and tell her I love her. She responds with the same extra squeeze as she had before, and it just flipped a switch in my mind. I felt crushed again. I felt like she had only said it earlier that week to get me to calm down, not because she actually meant it. It turns into a huge fight, and we leave the show. On the way home she's angry with me because she was about to say it back, but I had already gotten cold and closed off. She says it was only a brief moment between when I had said it and when she tried to respond, but I don't think that it was. But again, I was pretty drunk, so it could be that I am not remembering correctly. We are having another difficult conversation in her car, and I am so upset that I am trying to choke back the tears that have begun to roll down my face, so I tell her I am fine and I have to go.
I get inside and immediately lose it. I completely broke down into a hysterical mess curled up on my kitchen floor. I was in so much pain over the situation. I was so angry at myself for letting things get to me so easily. I was angry at her for the way she has been acting closed off. I asked her to call me. I told her I needed her there. I didn't want to argue, but I was so distraught thinking that I had just drove the last nail in the coffin and she was going to be done with me for good. I had been through so much pain and was falling apart because I felt as though I turned into the one to casing it to go up in flames.
She told me she couldn't be there for me in the way that I needed right now, and that she needed to be at home and take care of herself and process everything in her head for a few days. She reassured me that she was not ending it, just that she needed to be alone. I was so upset hearing that. I was a little angry even. When I thought she had been lying about where she had been last week, I put that anger aside to be there for her and comfort her, because I wanted to believe her. But now that I am the one who needs to be comforted, I was told that she could not. The next morning I sent a text telling her I hope she has a good day.
It's been just about two days since I've seen her, and about a day since I received her last text. She tanked me for the text and wanted to reaffirm that she was not done with the relationship, but still needed a few days to herself. I understand to a certain degree, even if I didn't in that moment.
So that is it. Not really sure if I am looking for advice or just to be heard in an sudo anonymous forum here. But take that story and do with it what you will.
Cheers

2023.03.28 21:15 Modern-Monarch Family

I never spoke to anyone about this... But honestly I'm craving for love and it's hard to admit, I grow up in a toxic family where once you cry or broke down weak ka or parang tanga kana or pag depressed ka sasabihan ka pang magpakamat*y kana lang tutal pagod kana, tumatak to sa brain ko. I grow up having two personalities one for my family and one being the real me; it feels like I can't be me when I'm with them I'm restricted or choked specially dahil na rin sa religious beliefs. Bumabawi naman sila rn the only problem is it's too late, I love them don't get me wrong but there's a wall between us na di ko na matatanggal kahit kelan and dahil broken family kami and di ko rin nakasama mga grandparents ko ngayon parang nag ccrave ako sa pag mamahal nang isa pamilya pero di sa pamilya ko it's like gusto sa ibang family mang gagaling kasi pag sa kanila feel ko di totoo, ang hirap bukod pa yung sa mga exes ko na toxic and manipulative feel ko damage na damage nako. Naiisip ko kinsan gusto ko magkapamilya pero everytime na naalala ko yung naransanan ko no thanks nalang plus yung paghihirap sa pilipinas ngayon ayoko na dagdagan yung problema. Torn ako di ko alam until jow I know depressed pa rin ako I know deep inside me di pa healed yung inner child ko.
I'm 24 already.

2023.03.28 18:23 CaffeineGoliath Some random thoughts, ideas and opinions on KF2 and future content.

Hey! Sorry this might be a pretty long post and English is not exactly my Forte so sorry for any mistakes, errors or grammatical blunders, I'm also "New" to reddit in general I've been lurking several sub reddits about games I enjoy for years but don't exactly like interaction, hell my only two "real" posts were both either caused by drunken anger at FOMO or drunken existential depression, but that's not what this post is, I was playing killingfloor this morning grinding out EXP for SWAT and just got to thinking "what could make this game more fun then it already is?" I love arena horde fighting games, they are honestly my favorite type of games, I could play them for hours! and this game series really fills the itch of some random punk picking up a gun and taking on an entire army of horror freaks, usually you only see that content in old action movies or anime. This originally was a horror game as I understand but starting to play KF2 in late 2021 and never playing the first my intro to this game series was a buff santa-claus beating in the head of a gingerbread gorefast with a shovel to the tune of a heavy metal remix of "god rest ye merry gentleman", and that being my very first sight fresh into the game kinda made me fall in love with the goofy action rather then the horror, so that's my perspective going into this, so if you are a veteran of this game/or a horror FPS enjoyer you might want to take my opinions with a grain of salt as this is the perspective of a run and gun/hack and slash my way through enjoyer.
(mostly a solo and normal mode player so don't go thinking I subject poor unsuspecting people to my mindless and dumb run into horde and bonk tactic)
That being said I wanted to voice some thoughts and opinions, this is not speculation, this is not saying "Tripwire/Hardsuit lazy and have less creativity then my left pinky" vent post, though it does get a bit venty in some places, this is not a rage post and this isn't exactly a "KF3 idea" post, it's just more of a shoulda, woulda, coulda post of ideas that feel like the spirit of KF or Tripwire/Hardsuit in general
Idea one: New roles and perks
Now there are three main roles and 10 perks
The three main roles being Big zed killer Trash cleaner And switch Though switch is less optimized since only two perks can be eficient at both killing trash and big zeds without needing an entire loadout change.
If I could make a change I would add a few new roles and optimize some perks to do as such A defacto "boss killer" and "agro gain" role, I hear and see several complaints day in and day out about how some boss's are wet paper and some bosses are unkillable nightmares and that just depends on the person and playstyle. And the whole load into an entire lobby of comandos or firebug joke that's been in the community for a while wouldn't be as bad if comandos weren't just the defacto "shoot until it stops" Perk. Some classes could be well optimized for bosses with 2 single traits added "Do more damage to boss Zeds % per level" and "do less damage to boss zed sheilds" That would be chain effect way to teach a class to push an assault on a boss and to bait out phases,
For example
Let's take swat Let's say Hans just got down to yellow,
If swat did less damage to Hans shield but more damage to Hans himself that would give swat an incentive to aggro Hans and use thier movement speed buff to make Hans go on a wild chase while demo or sharpshooter can pick off his shield from range
Now I know what most experienced players would say to that, The whole "that wouldn't work as efficient as just" then giving an entire list of how my opinion is trash and how boss zeds in higher difficulty can be taken down with coordination and teamwork... only that leads to the other community joke and somthing I've witnessed when ever I get the urge to play with Randos, the comando that fucks off and runs across the map or players that put the blame on everything but themselves, while the big zed killers gets eaten alive and die to AoE because a gaggle of stalkers or clots see a group of unprotected unoptimized Perks! a random comando that ran across the map and refused to learn to do otherwise/ refuse to step in his healer or supports shoes would be kinda of a good strategy if zeds followed them instead of the sharpshooter forced to stand still or the demo that didn't see the stalker 2 feet from thier face as they pulled the trigger on thier RPG this could be optimized with the trait "gains smaller zeds attention" and "gains biggeboss zeds attention" A trash cleaner can be way more useful if they are FORCED to be a trash cleaner instead of a suicidal/HoE comando thinking they can Rambo 15 flesh pounds on thier own
I'm only targeting comando so hard because they can see cloaked Zeds AND see how ineffective thier bullets are to big zeds yet are almost always are the ones that never learn among other common player mistakes. And as someone guilty of that exact thing, I get how frustrating I could be in teammates perspective, but alot of players don't care about thier teammates or don't care to think on thier hindsight after a frustrating match.
Two new classes: Now to the next part now that I've covered how in my opinion on roles
Horizine security/HRG specialist
And
ElectrocutioneCryomaniac
Let's face it, dlc weapons are getting lazy, hell some baseline weapons are lazy
"Here's a demo Tommy gun with a white and blue skin, go wild."
It would seem less lazy if there was a Perk that utilized the Horizine weapons better, If there was a Perk that used ONLY the horizine guns it would bring motivation to use them and like them more, it may even help justify some out there decisions,
And the other perk name is just a not so clever title for a different elemental class, We have firebug for fire, but we have so many cool cryo weapons and electric weapons that aren't utilized to the fullest that they can be most the time, I've never even seen a sharpshooter main praise or even talk about the sorta new HV-storm cannon. So a Perk that utilizes the other elemental weapons would be neat in my mind
And last but not least, Perk love
Swat is a perk I see get barely any love, And when it does eventually get love it always falls a bit short, many of the guns in the perk arsenal are cross Perk, thier arguably best weapon looks atrocious, and the one time they got an actual cop weapon? It was not even in the top 5 best options for them, not to mention the game has A ROBO-COP GUN with A SWAT THEMED SKIN that was given to the gunslinger?... why?? What sense does that even make?! What world do we live in where you can play as a robot and use a law-enforcement based Perk BUT YOU CAN'T EFFICIENTLY USE THE ROBOCOP GUN not to mention the gun is called glock18-c when the real robocop gun was based off a Beretta but that's a whole different can of worms.
And berserker poor, poor, poor berserker, in a PVE game where at higher difficulty a zed can 1 shot you why did they do the up close and personal Perk so dirty with that nerf? Might as well be using a nerf foam sword as well at that point, they need to give berserker SOMTHING that gives Melee enjoyers some power again! They made Tom banner and a metal head viking! Plus a song where the lyrics have a Line "my weapons are washed in blood" in a game where you literally watch your Melee weapons GET WASHED IN BLOOD yet Melee feels like a guy with a upgraded 9mm pistol is better then you? I mean WHY?! COME ON FREE MY NEED TO MINDLESSLY RUN INTO A HORDE WITHOUT GETTING TURNED INTO GROUND CHUCK!!... anyways yes berserker needs some love too
And the final class I think needs some love is support. I mean the poor bastards spend all thier money on ammo! Give ammo to the entire team! Make barricades and are usually the first to get blamed as soon as Mr inaccurate runs out of ammo while headshotting rioters and E-DARs! Come on game You gave the most serious and helpful Perk (other then medic, love you healer mains! Thank you for putting up with us fellow dumbass's shenanigans!) The most goofy and out there weapons! Yes they have some bad ass weapons! Totally! But do I really want to use a balloon gun just because it melts zeds? Do I really want to pretend two cyber taurus judges won't rip my wrists in two? Do I really want to trick myself into believing an AA-12 will save my ass from impending doom as soon as a door breaks down when playing a team based class solo or olnine when a full team has been tunnel visioning a single choke point for half the wave? A glass cannon that's not expected to be a GOAT zed killer shouldn't be treated like a defense-bot much like a medic shouldn't be treated like a heal-bot. I don't exactly know a good way to make it so supports actual support skills are taken as seriously as thier combat skills but I hope one day they'll become better utilized in an actual support way, or atleast renamed defender or guardian to better suit the adopted playstyles most folks take But since I don't play as support as often/see them as often this might be a dog water take.
Idea 2 Weapons: Now I know, weapons especially DLC weapons suck now, I mean... have you seen the G36C?... do I even have to say anything?
But I was using it earlier since in hard solo endless its a godsend and I realized. If they took off the top rail, made it bulpup, or the mag more square and thick, or just added a few steel frames or took off the stock any combination of two or more of those design choices... they could totally have made it look like a knock off warhammer bolt gun or a heavy 12mm SMG from FalloutNV! And that could justify its hard hitting power while still fitting in with the law enforcement perk, guardsmen from warhammer are just military police and the 12mm were based off of scifi police SMGs used in various movies! You could have totally leaned into both the vauge lore and justifiablity of it and still pull off being lazy about it! I mean falloutNV was a rushed mess with 50 hours of cut content and is still buggy as of today but it's one of the most beloved games in that franchise! Are you telling me you can't cut just as many corners and make a gun that people won't just forget about in a month? And if you leaned into the boltgun smg warhammer has been super popular for the past few months everyone likes the nitty gritty grimdark gun!
Speaking of twipwire/hardsuit could get away with WAAAAAY more lazy shenanigans if they add more knock offs,
An all gold lugenambu pistol called the Golden gun a 2000 dosh pistol for gunslingesharpshooter that deals as much damage as a fully upgraded magnum with armour piercing. Call it a day, done, you get to be lazy and make a weapon people physically won't be able to take off rose tinted glasses while using
A modified broomhandel Mauser with electric damage with no explanation as to why kinda like the mac10 being incendiary for no reason Make its flavor text "It always shoots first" Boom there you go fanboys will be saying shut up and take my money for months
A giant machete. That's it a big machete that has some flavorful modifiers and some stand out stats call it the knoif Or the predator, Make its flavor text "That's not a knoif" Big. Bucks.
A chainsaw, a regular chainsaw, a eviscerator with no firing or just a skrakes arm as a weapon. I can't tell you how many friends I have that saw they would feel 200% more powerful and gore thirsty if they had a real chainsaw weapon in this game and yeah, honestly a chainsaw should have been a main option from the get go its gory fps law at this point to have 4 things A double barrel, Power armour, A bad ass soundtrack And a chainsaw, in my opinion this game has 3/4 (DAR assault armour or Horizine security armour for the power armour bit) things just because it's chainsaw is a weird hybrid you would see in a valve or ubisoft game,
Speaking of valve. CSGO. I mean knives in CSGO specifically, if a knife in a game can some how, some way, be 8grand a pop? I don't understand why moree games ESPECIALLY THIS ONE since it has infamously bad knife designs on some perks (mainly looking at you Fingers!!) don't put an emphasis on knife cosmetics
Let's break down the Perk knifes starting with
Beserker: Lawn mower blade is really solid, it's tool steel and sought after by most modern blade smith's, easily temperable and easy to know it won't konk out on you, it makes sense why a Melee expert would use it
But they should have added an entire gaggle of knife options, A hand axe Tire iron Claw hammer, Butchers knife Medieval dagger,
The list goes on for knife ideas people would pay for
Even akimbo Melee fallback, brass knuckles dual Katar, claws, ect ect! You could modify it to only hit one at a time so it's still fair and not seen as pay to win, hell even if it was not optimized like that it's still a mainly PvE only game!
Comando: Trench knife Entrenching shovel Bayonet Punch dagger ANYTHING FOM A BDUK MAGAZINE
Support: mallet Mace Different machete designs Short sword
Field medic: Liston knife Bone saw Reflex hammer Surgical saw
Demo: Wire cutting knife Stick grenade Putty knife
Fire bug. I'm gonna go a bit in detail why I don't like this, what does firebug knife have to do with fire? Yes the metal is flame kissed, yes its called a fireman's knife but... that's not the first design I think of when I think pyromania! I think a broken molotov bottle! I think somthing an anarchist would carry around! A Melee weapon made from an anarchist cookbook page! Somthing! Not a bootleg iridescent krambit! Hell even a scavenged husk scrap metal blade! Sell it in a cosmetic pack with some skins for the Husk cannon or a husk themed outfir call it the husketeer bundle.
Gunslinger: I know there are a ton of Melee weapons that fit gunslinger or old west I general but since I like the bowie knife the best I honestly can't go into detail about better options without letting my bias show
Swat: Have you seen an average evidence lockup? I'm sure a cop could find SOMTHING better then the smallest knife in the game! Somthing players would pay MONEY to get in thier virtual hands!
Sharpshooter: Kukri is awesome but it does block a lot of the screen for no reason what so ever, I can think of a ton of good options that would sell well! Though military or BDUK would still come to mind like the comando
And finally survivalist.... where... do i... even start
I main survivalist,
And here's a bit of a personal story, as a teen, i was edgy, I hung around other edgy teens as one dose when hormonal and edgy, we sent eachother gore videos as pranks and as stupid as it is and my empathetic adult self knows how screwed up real life harm like that is now atleast i can stll say back then I watched the entirety of Mexican funky town without so much as a flinch or winge.... but fingers, digits, finger gore is Somthing that's always made me Squeemish... SO WHY AM I FORCED TO DREAD RUNNING OUT OF AMMO WITH MY MAIN JUST BECAUSE OF SOME GROTTY COSMETIC?! come ON based on that alone I would literally take a whiff of dead bloat just to get a different knife cosmetic for survivalist!!
It's a cartoony thick peice of scrap metal with gross fingers on it!!
Swiss army knife Mall ninja apocolypse knife Prison shivs!
If they wanted to keep the scavenged zed theme
A bloat cleaver A flesh pound drill shard An E-DAR scrap metal knife A gorfast blade.... without keeping the gross decayed fingers!! They could make bank and stick with the horror theme if they focused on knife cosmetics instead of emotes!
Idea 3: Dlc characters
Santa has perfect reasoning, seasonal Christmas events, 4 Christmas maps and lots of yule tide festive cosmetics.
But Mrs foster... 7.99$ USD for Mr fosters wife? Who just seems life a more calculated Mr foster?...
In my opinion they should have valentines day event and cosmetics that focus heavily on the fosters to get more people into it, if you don't buy the deluxe edition would you even have a reason to own Mrs foster? You have base game Mr foster and you can't really check 3rd person for the graphic and animation differences and most turn battle chatter down after a while due to hearing the same voiceline 200 times over, so what would be the point? A good valentine event or romance event in general would probably boost sales of that single DLC
And my next point, Maneater, there are SEVERAL killingfloor references in Maneater
A cool DLC character would be a conspiracy theorist, voiced by Chris Parnell or someone who sounds like him with nature documentary and conspiracy theory themed cosmetics, a big one I was thinking of was a dollar money green colored triangle sahaped face paint over one of the eyes call it "the iluminat-eye" or "dead iliminat-eye"
Or an alternate costume called "truth quester" Or "Leviathan finder"
Tripwire seems to love planting references after all
Some voice lines would be perfect
Kills a husk "Burning flesh! Smells familiar..."
Kills a cyst or clot "You won't get me little grey men!"
Heals self "But Was it worth getting a government mind control chip?"
Poisons zed "Still not as toxic as fawtick!"
Siren screams "SOUNDS LIKE MY EX-WIFE!"
Kills fleshpound "Your tinfoil wasn't as strong as mine!"
Ect ect that would probably be a dlc character worth buying on its own!
And that leads to idea 4 Maps:
Half the cool characters in this game have a "where were they when shit went down" backstory. I'd love to see a bunch of maps based on characters backgrounds! And more holiday themed maps would be great too!
Idea5 more, commentators,
We have Santa 1 map Captain 2 maps Horizine Lady most maps on survival mode And patriarch endless mode
Having commentators you could switch between would keep it fresh and not feel Ike you've heard the same thing 80 times.
For endless mode you could choose Volter Patriarch Or Matriarch
For Christmas maps Krampus workshop Hamlet Crash Santa's workshop You can choose Santa or the Horizine lady
That would be pretty nice in my opinion Or just choose any you want for any mode! That would be even better!
And while we're on the voiceline thing, having D.A.R say voicelines from old public domain TV shows and commercials would be amazing, even a taunting laugh track when a boss dies would be neat, and done right can even remain kinda creepy.
Idea 5 Last but not least more modes, challenges, and rewards, having more weeklies, different modes, more engaging daily challenges and even a stress relief mode would do WONDERS for engagement
An overhauled trophy system would help out since most trophies as of now with good rng and a coordinated team/guide can be finished in as little as a day or a few hours if skilled and lucky
Having a better weekly system/depending on what time of year give different rewards for each weekly could help with engagement.
And of course more modes
Like off the top of my head
Patriarchs chosen:
A three Vs. three mode against three mercs that start with full armour each
Against a team of three player controlled zeds that get to upgrade to a better zed each wave
Would overhaul and make a better zed mode then we already have
Go big or go home: a 50 wave mode with only big zeds bloat and up where a counter at the top of the screen shows the Vosh symbol, you get vosh each wave instead of dosh and spend it on equipment, no weapon armour or ammo drops on the maps if you survive to wave 50 you keep all or half the dosh you make, a boss every 10 rounds always either ending with Matriarch or patriarch. You make more Vosh the higher difficulty you do It could make getting vish crates trivial but to compensate they can put alot more cosmetics in the vosh crate loot pool and increase the rarity of precious or prestige items
In my opinion more or less that would keep player engagement for a lot longer
Or a stress relief mode! Say you came home from a bad day at work. You just want to not think and get out some violence, a waveless endless mode in a big open space with some cover here and there, you have infinite money, and ammo and when you pause the game you can pull up the trader pod menu at any time and its the only mode with a. Easy and very easy option, you can't earn trophies or vosh/ items at the end but that's not what it's for it's just to play killing floor when you had a rough day or to try out all the weapons and weapon combos as a new player
But these are just my ideas, thoughts, and opinions, Not theroy or speculation, just what I'd like to see as a mindless kill stuff and win fan.
