that's because the skills and traits you desire in another person you also actively distract them from when you seek their attention. an encouraging reward that attention may be but it also immediately halts the after mission reflection session about what you could do better and going straight to how can I do that again. recap; again or better
It was always the single people who gave the best relationship advice.

how much of our conscious thought is actually gut response and sleep cycles don't shut off everything at the same time so whatever mental trick he's using could shift between different formats like military time or logic to shapes and colors until he wakes up and tries to decode whatever jumbled monstrosity comes out
I don't believe that someone can simply knock me out, do an extremely advanced surgery on me, and bring me to this room in just 4 minutes. And the fact that the mental clock in my head still runs even when I'm unconscious further cements that I'm actually here due to some godly power, as no mortal can do such a miracle of bringing me here in a few minutes.

this is what people mean when they talk about integrity and holding to ones beliefs. this is also why integrity and threats aren't spoken aloud in the same sentence and I for once don't want to know how this evolved socially only that it's messed up and it works too well
At first, I wanted to skin him alive for what he did, but I decided not to since it would make too much of a mess and I didn't have the right tools. I could fleece him using the cardboard cutter, but it would be too sloppy, so I ignored that idea.

it's a little too true to anime logic where every twin has a dramatized memory conveniently distracting them from going ham on the culprit or the hair color being a cue for the reader to assume a character's personality or acting your part is somehow more important than haste in a dangerous situation. lol
Witnessing his brother's demise, the surviving twin, in his final moments, recalled the peaceful times they shared in childhood before their capture by their king. Regret and sorrow intertwined as his consciousness faded away.

shorter months so if the prophecy happens to run on the old calendar either since the prophecy was given or since the calendar changed the seventh month time wise could land somewhere in August per the number of days or the chosen one could have been born and died where the dark Lord didn't expect a bombarded piece tombstone to go through his head. lol
"Now, the second verse: Born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies. July is the seventh month. But it could be talking about the seventh month after the prophecy was made, and if you were doing the interview in the summer, that would put the month of birth of the child in January, February, or March. Now, the death of the seventh month could be about a child birth just as a person named Julio dies, after all July was named after the Roman Emperor Julius Caesar. The 'thrice defied him' could limit your choices, but then it could be about any couple that said or did anything that went against the Dark Lord creed three times. That is a kind of defiance too, is it not?"

breathe with me author San for I can feel the repressed emotions in the way they have been funneled into mutilating your character body and soul with wanton abandon. lol
Only to have a shadow appear behind me. "You're quiet the interesting one." A voice sounded out as enlonged limbs wrapped around my torso. "I wonder what this would do to you?" He questioned as I felt a pair of fangs bite into my neck.

do you separate the sushi components in your mouth? do you chew too long because sushi is already in small bits with digestion aiding condiments that render chewing into a warm gross mess redundant. how far are you from the fishes point of origin because even with modern means travel does more to the fish than you may ever realize. how long has the fish been frozen because in places where fish is an expensive luxury capitalism demands unhealthy unsanitary unappetizing sacrifices. does the chef realize that the local variety of rice or vegetable is cultivated with dishes less exotic than sushi in mind. many parts of sushi are unknowingly substitutes for harder to get or make ingredients. did the fisherman have sushi in mind for his catch and where they familiar enough with the fishes anatomy to know that fish are like certain electronics made to stop working when you try and take them apart or the stress hormones from a drawn out catch or long slow death drastically sabotage flavor when the fish isn't alive to relax and process them just forget it if the offending organs are ruptured or the fish is over "tenderized" by bouncing in a truck on a rocky road because sushi isn't country fried steak. did the chef use the right knife(not a bread or butter knife), store the ingredients at the right temperature, cook the right type of rice properly(to few people notice over or undercooked rice that also has the wrong amount of the wrong type of vinegar), or fast thaw fish in hot water(don't). did the fish come from a beginner who doesn't realize that parts of the fish sushi or not shouldn't come in contact with rice or certain fishing baits aren't used or are even banned for a reason. sushi from most supermarkets are scary because sushi doesn't have that kind of shelf life and either your well-being or the sushi flavor and texture are being compromised by whatever black magic is used to keep it from rotting, growing moldy, or visibly changing color. lol
After some time we found the restaurant area where we tried some sushi. I didn't like it much nor did Lavinia. I don't understand how people can eat raw fish.

maximum enjoyment and understandable as a hobby but otherwise "let" them carry their own purchases because the weight is a reminder that the things have value and that they are "worth" being responsible for and worth the time to consider where these new treasures will have pride of place. hopefully if they buy more than they can carry or afford they will notice a disconnect with material objects and well-being. honestly why do grown adults have to be taught to respect their belongings? instead of throwing away new unused things for no other reason than making space for more or spending without thought with the expectation that they won't have to deal with what comes after. just take random bags off their hands every now and again or carry the bags based on their current attitude so they can't ignore what you're doing for them and it's not an object of chance that they "win" like the rush from gambling
Lavinia didn't want to hold the bags saying something like men should be the ones to escort ladies and holing bags in these times all the while having a mischievous smile on her face.

Then my wings came out as Vritra taught her human magics. I was not listening to her. I was thinking about the dungeon boss. Even after searching the whole place I still can't find any trace of it.Should search in the water or deep underground? Many thoughts were going through my mind.

you mean those people who don't follow instructions? the ones who for various reasons need to stand out as unique individuals or exceptions? the "psychosis" bearing individuals who don't take the path most traveled out of mistrust for the well beaten trail standing out in an otherwise undisturbed forest? the tortured repressed magical girls of any gender who "wish" to shout notice me I'm special because they don't know a better way? lol
We ate a hearty lunch after that. At least she isn't like those heroines who no matter how direct the instructions are given, never fail to make something as inedible as possible.

Until then though, Becca was a free woman, baby! And with Harley's not-quite-blatant offer on the table, thank fuck for that! Oh well, she'd see what happened. Becca wasn't about to stress. She knew she was hot, some real preem meat and chrome! Had you seen her ass?! Mmm, tasty~…

a solid solution to the problem involves genetics and isn't as simple as swapping or clipping portions of code because we are a result of finding a way to survive with damage and wear instead of a perpetual motion machine so perfect that we never need to stop for repair. it's a complete reworking from square one that even philosophers would agree was never human considering how alien in function and purpose it would be because any conventional living thing suffers fatal deviation at a certain damage threshold
"Well, I did create it, but the cure has been around for many years, with it simply being hidden. After all, cancer is like a treasure trove for the government, and I just publicised it on a whim, along with a permanent cure that can be given to newborn children, effectively eradicating the problem of cancer after a generation or two."

realness. mystery. confusing. not to plan a.k.a. tragedy. sucker punch. kick em while there down. destiny. helplessness. flip side free will for a last second turn around or consolation prize. confusing mystery so unclear intentionally. this is turning into a foreshadowing seesaw with predictable plot but vague on the journey there. why read if you know what kind of ending is intended and the emotional back and forth is just a distraction
Also, I want to convey a sense of realness in this fic. Just because you have a plan does not mean that everything will go according to it. Also, it might be confusing right now but that is because it was meant to be like that in a way, I'm trying to build a sense of mystery that will be unraveled later on.

stopped mid paragraph and thought. why didn't they load it on a space ship or have superman carry it at supersonic speeds instead of trucking it cross country. lol
Supergirl thinks as she starts to get up, but her eyes are blurry. Her super hearing is as sharp as ever though, and she hears the calling of the monkeys in her ears. Laughing at her. Mocking her. Angrily, Supergirl super flies into the air and towards the truck.
