Witajcie Polscy przyjaciele!

I, 31F, decided to book myself a flight to Krakow this fall and will be in the city center area for the first part of October, for about two weeks. I'll be the first member of the family to visit the country since my great-great grandparents left Grajewo over a hundred years ago and I think they would be proud.
I have a series of questions and I apologise in advance if they are dumb- google is helpful to a point but things can change quickly and all that.
For context, I will be making use of the public transport systems and am willing to walk to my destination if the route seems safe. I like to wander and observe.

Will things be closed?

Where I live, when October comes, many things shut down for the winter season. Is this something to be aware of in the city? I'd like to see the zoo, but mine closes early in the colder months. I don't see anything about it on the Krakow Zoo's page, so maybe I just need reassurance lol.

What do I wear?

Ladies and gentlemen- what do yall wear that time of year? I am really struggling on how to pack- I will be bringing just a backpack so I want to make sure I bring the right stuff. Layers? Long johns/thermal undies? Is it not as cold as I think it will be? Looking at the historic temperatures (numbers) isn't helpful because my brain doesn't work that way :( when do you guys get out your winter stuff?

SOUP.

I really really really want to sample as many soups as I can. I've got a whole bunch of pins saved to my maps of places near the city center that have good reviews, but if there are some hidden gems, please drop them in the comments. Soup in the morning, soup in the afternoon, soup in the evening... I crave the soup. Bonus points if they have the bowls made of bread and/or a killer rosół.

Best places to find bread and cake

I love cakes and cake-like things. Direct me to the cakemakers, particularly the ones that have cupcakes. I'd like to indulge in lots of good bread while I am there. Are there any Polish cakes I should be aware of and plan to taste?

Ukrainian Friends

I have been studying Ukrainian and would like to meet some Ukrainians- if you folks are reading this, tell me where to find you so we can schmooze)))

Holidays

I didn't see any national holidays that fall during my stay, but I am very interesting in knowing if there are any local or religious holidays observed during the first few weeks of the month. Baldur's Gate III's full release is August 31st so I'll be happy to play that if everything is closed for some reason lol.

Military Surplus Stores, Militaria, Military Stuff

Museums, stores, displays, events, anything military: drop your faves! Militaria Maciej Zapiec looks cool, and so does Militaria. I'm interested in things from all eras, but particularly curious about modern gear. Bonus points if there are handsome men that orbit around the location.

Wandering Protocols

Are there any neighborhoods I should avoid, particularly at night? I'm used to Detroit, Chicago, Latin America etc- and honestly am just having a hard time fathoming anything different. Do you guys have it the same way, where one neighborhood is just fine, and then the next one over is an absolute shitshow without warning? Or is it very obvious that I should probably avoid an area? My dad worries that I'm gonna get kidnapped and chopped up into tiny pieces or something- the scenario depends on the day. He will feel better knowing I have done some type of research on the subject.

Polish-language Magic: The Gathering Cards

I would like to purchase some MTG cards in the Polish language. I'll also probably scoop some English ones, but my mission is to find some Polish ones for my decks. I see Dragonus, Game Over, and Vanaheim- is it worth visiting all three? Are there others I've missed?

Cool Cars, Car Guys, and How to See Them

I like cars, all sorts- does Krakow have car meets or something like that? I wish to see some Polish car culture, but I am not even really sure where to start with that one. I am particularly fond of old Soviet cars and stuff from that era. As with the military stuff question, bonus points are awarded if there are handsome men orbiting the cool cars.
​
Thank you for any and all help in advance. This is incredibly exciting for me and I feel like I'm going to spontaneously combust due to the excitement levels.

There's a light in my city on a street that's never busy. It's always red and has been like that my whole life unless someone presses the crosswalk button. Everyone in my city treats it like a stop sign and runs it. I was wondering how long would you actually have to wait before a police officer or judge said it was ok to run it?

Dellfriar became the only operational asylum in the world. Everything had collapsed, outside the Medieval castle, filled with laughing madmen. The skies outside had darkened and the world out there was entirely depleted of sanity. Only in our house was there any joy or reason. Only we possessed any agency that wasn't purely survival instinct. Our straight jackets and drugs and cells kept us isolated from the infectious and rabid degeneration of humanity. We stayed meek and contained as the rest of the world boldly spilled the noise of an era dominated purely by a singular human species. We fasted on grapes and dew as the last remnant of civilization devoured itself in seventy nights of terror, until things became utterly silent. Our song of bedlam remained as one continuous strain until that last shadowed silence fell.
Then it was our turn. We passed through the window and flew as ravens, twenty or so patients of Dellfriar. We were the Choir, the ones sent by our shiny new god.
We saw two suns hung in the sky, for Liminiel had made a second star. All had changed. Man was gone, and we, as ravens, were not intruding in the landscape where animals walked upright and spoke amid the wreckage of the cities. No more were the beasts not as men. They sat outside coffee shops holding broken cell phones and sipping empty tea cups and staring vacantly, trying to remember what their life as an animal was like, before. It was futile, for only the passing flock of patients as ravens knew the truth. Among us there was one crow, and as an animal that had not changed at all, the crow spoke as a human with proficiency and told them they were to know the truth, only in time.
Cory's promise to the ones below, made them wait for his return, anticipating that the secret would come freely. I doubted they would play no part in our survival. In the ruined world of dreamy skies, Man's Bane fell below our shadowed wingbeats.
We landed where we were told to go, by Aureus. The spell of Circe wore off and we became as we were, armed humans in straight jackets and giggling on the castle's drugs. We had flown backward in time and arrived at the height of the decades before our world had come to be. I sensed that I was within myself, watching from a farflung aeon. Some part of me existed at the very end of time and was looking at me, seeing what I was seeing. I was not interfered with or communicated with, just observed. I had always felt watched, but suddenly, as I stood there gazing at the Mirror of Time, I realized who I truly was. I knew I was also some being from many ages into the future. I knew I would remain as one of the very last. Part of me considered that I should, at some point, relay a record of my adventures. I had existed long before and long after, but it was those moments, knowing who I eternally was, that changed me. I felt like I was no longer innocent, and in a much different way than any thought, action or experience had ever made me feel before. Even going insane had not felt so different.
The Choir stood and admired themselves. As we looked we perceived an infinite number of possibilities in the Mirror of Time. It was Cory who broke our trance.
"The trap is that the more possibilities of your fate that you witness, the less there actually are. No dream you have in the mirror will come true, after you have seen it. Look away or lose first your best life, and then your second best and so on, with each gaze into the magical reflection. It will take all from you if you stare too long. You will eventually cease to exist, I am sure." Cory told us.
Not one of the Choir was willing to look at the mirror after hearing such a description. We went around it and beheld the object of our errand.
"Isn't this exactly like when we took such gems for the cats to make their Majara?" Cory asked me, in Felidaen. His meows distracted the rest of the Choir around us, but didn't reveal what he was asking me. I meowed back:
"It is, except now we are stealing for-" I agreed. and added in English: "-Aureus."
"Seems like this is not a good plan. We know that evil is-" Cory meowed and added in English: "-Aureus."
"For now we bide our time and help. When this is complete we will have our chance to stop-" I meowed and added: "-Aureus."
"Are you two meowing about Aureus?" Jacoby the Disorderly asked me. He used to work as an orderly at Dellfriar, but became a patient. From there his spiral into madness had led him to being transformed into a raven and sent flying through time and space to the distant city where a mirror tested all who wished to exist.
There was a gem to steal, and as my crow had pointed out, there always would be. We worked for Aureus and there was no sense in wasting anything. Aureus was a god and we could be faithful or we could be heretics. Only as heretics could we kill another god. We had to tell ourselves we knew what we were doing.
It was all too insane, the murders and mayhem. Crossing from world to world as ravens, stealing the essence, crystalized to us as glowing gems. I was terrified, knowing we were assembling something horrible for Aureus. Whatever it was, we needed something like the book of evil to tell us how to reverse our efforts and stop Aureus. Except we had no such book and no idea what Aureus was making.
There were yellow robed people who stood frail and short, armed with carved clubs too light to move a croquet ball, let alone cause us any harm. They guarded the gem fiercely, not realizing how much stronger and more violent we were. The Choir cut through them in seconds, glass bottles and chains and a razor sharp clawed hook making short work of the natives of the mirrored city.
After we had killed them all we took the gem, or at least, Jacoby did. He began sneezing and then the ground shook and we all fled, taking him along with us. Jacoby carried the gem as we stood on the raven's gesture, a glowing mist to us, visually. There was no actual mist or my right hand would have ached. We could see it and so could the people around us. Only we were enchanted to fly back home, and they could not follow us. At least that is what we presumed. We never saw them again, but other enemies, such as the Folk of the Shaded Places or the Fen and the Fell or even the cat-umbramancers, could follow us with their teleportation abilities.
We flew back and saw the recursion of the beast-men and the times before the end of Man. There we arrived at Dellfriar, standing throughout the times until the moment we arrived from when we had come. Cory advised me:
"If we don't die trying, perhaps we could fly south, instead of to the castle?"
"We would die." I was certain.
"In almost every probability of seven-out-of-seven." Cory clicked in Corvin. It meant that no other outcome was possible. The exception was when something impossible happened, which is what Cory was saying we should gamble our lives on.
I sighed. I told Cory: "You mean that with a component, presumably the last or most important one, if we have no other option, we fly away from the castle with? I don't know if it is even possible. When we are as ravens we fly in one direction, from or to the castle. We might not even be able to deviate our flight. I am certain we would die."
"Death is always certain." Cory said. He thought it was funny. He added his own favorite joke: "Death will always happen."
"Right." I agreed. We sat and waited in the darkness. The morning brought us our breakfasts in our cells. We sat there and waited for Aureus.
Eventually Aureus came to us. The gem of the mirror people was taken from Jacoby.
I asked Aureus directly:
"How many more gems or jewels will we need?" I asked Aureus.
"You think to know what I am doing?" Aureus asked me.
I felt terrified. Aureus suspected my treachery. Aureus asked me, not sounding too angry, but rather, perplexed: "Piecing together what I am making? Is it another Majara? No. I have designed it myself."
Aureus just stood there blinking at me. I asked, nervously:
"What is it?" I asked. Aureus monologued for a very long time, saying:
"It will make me seventy times more powerful. It will be like I have wishes, no - boons, of the gods. And such would be unlimited. I think I am calling it the Amulet of Aureus. The power of the Majara would be less than this talisman. I know of all of these parts of this thing from Creation, from the pages I have collected. I have learned that each world is part of another world. Each universe is part of another universe. And you see, in nature we can find patterns from all these other worlds. With those patterns it is possible to see into those worlds. And when we look through time and space and see the remnant of those worlds, we have, in our own way, a path to them. So we go and take the shining molecule from each of these worlds, not long before they die anyway. It is just the last spark of a dying ember. It is harmless in the light of the brighter particle within me, enhanced by each of the pieces of the center, than is near mine. There are two suns in the sky, and I intend to become a kind of third. Mine however, is much hungrier. I will be more of what you might call, a black hole."
"You are going to become a black hole?" I asked.
"I already have a piece from one inside of me. It is a hellgate. It can eat anything and possess anyone. I am already hungry and unstoppable." Aureus continued.
"I guess all of us are made of particles that are inevitably stuff from the stars. You're saying one of your particles is from a black hole." I said. "That doesn't make you a black hole. It means that some immeasurable fraction of you is the remnant from something from a very long time ago."
"That's just it. The time doesn't seem to matter. I already know the outcome of this. You find it hopeless and cooperate. All of your friends, the Choir, they are expendable. They all die, or whatever. Fate isn't entirely sealed. We both know what happens to you. I can see it in your eyes that you know your fate. Except it is changing, uncertain. I have one fate and that is to live as a god and then die one day and become as a black hole, as I decompose from my living energy. In part of my consciousness I can feel myself as the black hole, destroying whole galaxies. It is my will, and you are as what you are and I am as what I am. That is who we be. For now you must serve me, because it is your path. Don't change your path." Aureus told me.
"I live until some distant time, then so must you. Or we both die." I said. Aureus considered my forecast and said:
"It doesn't matter if I live to complete this or if I die and become the inward cascading darkness that takes all things into it. The horizon of my mind tells me that the time is irrelevant. Even the age of the whole world is insignificant to the scale of the black hole. My existence, even as a god, is but a speck, and trivial beyond measure, to the awesomeness of the black hole. Remember that the first to be consumed will be you and your crow. Then the whole asylum and then the cities beyond and finally the continents. When those are taken it will be the broken remains of your world and those as crumbs as the worlds of your system are all eaten. Then the very suns of your system, the old and the new, both will be eaten. Those before the other systems and then the whole galaxy are eaten. All of it in the incrementally and exponentially growing moments of time. In the end I shall have eaten an entire galaxy, but it will take forever. For now I am in the very nature of my being. It matters not if I die in this moment or in a thousand years. Such a span of time is forgotten against the awesome and endless aeons of the time I will spend eating the whole galaxy as a black hole. And you see, I am not really afraid to become that because I am conscious of such, in the core of who I am."
"I am not going to betray you, not until I know how." I told Aureus.
"You must do as I tell you, that is the only way you can contribute to this world's longevity." Aureus said and then left me and Cory sitting in my cell.

Hey, I’m just here to ask a quick question. Can you still focus dreaming city weapons or no? If so, where? Because I remember having the option but that was most likely before LightFall released. I have a feeling you can’t anymore though.

Descripton of sighting:
Driving home. I saw 2 bright lights in the sky. I was approximately 1 minute away from my home. as I got out of my car when I was in the driveway, The lights continued in a east-west direction. At first, I thought they were Chinese lanterns but they didn't flicker. Didn't fluctuate in speed and followed the same trajectory at the same distance from each other. The entire time without any sound, one went out. And then the other went out. However, I could still see them off of the camera which was just my phone.
Below is a few minutes afterwards when a police helicopter was seen in the same area of the UAPs/UFOs as well as a plane flying over the same flightpath.

Hello,
I’m a male traveller in my 20s who just returned from a 12 day solo trip to Tokyo (4 nights), Kyoto (3 nights), Osaka (3 nights), then back to Tokyo (2 nights). I had a 7 day JR pass. Day trips I took included Yokohama, Nara, Hiroshima + Miyajima, and Nagashima Spa Land (I replaced Hijemi for this mid-trip because I had seen more than enoughy temples and shrines by that point and wanted to do something totally different).
I had a rough itinerary planned for day to day but was very flexible with it. Eating wasn’t a huge focus of mine as I am vegetarian. If you don’t put effort into finding vegetarian places (I didn’t), then eating in Japan will likely be a challenge. There seemed to be animal products in a lot of things you would never guess there’d be animal products in such as majority of 7/11 snacks. I also don’t remember seeing any vegetarian meals available at 7/11s either.
Anyways, here are some lessons learned/observations, mainly involving transit, that I wish I knew in advance. I hope they are helpful for you.
1 - Walk on LEFT side of streets and stairs, though at times what was appropriate seemed frustratingly inconsistent.
2 - In Tokyo do NOT bother getting the 72hr Japan Metro all you can use pass and try to take only non-JR lines for this 72hrs. I toyed with this idea because I like the idea of haivng unlimited access to transit. However this is way too complicated and not feasible for a first time traveller with the Japanese transit system works. Just get the Suica or Pasmo card. The convenience you pay for is well worth it considering how much you will use transit.
3 - When my JR pass was active I did try to only take JR lines in Kyoto, Osaka which sometimes added a bit more time to the trip but was usually do-able as JR lines are quite extensive. However, Apple maps app would often only give routes with non-JR trains as that was fastest route. The Google Maps app was a bit better at including JR lines. I sometimes had to get creative and divide the trip when entering into the app so taking JR only was possible i.e., A to Osaka Station, then Osaka Station to C, rather than A to C.
4 - I still have a very hard time understanding how to know which line is JR vs Local vs some other company. At times it was obvious on signs cause it would say “JR” on signs and other times I was on JR line but it didn’t say JR anywhere. Often times the app didn’t say either. This was very frustrating and if anyone knows a better way to tell please comment.
5 - The Osaka/Umeda Station/underground complex is the most confusing, un-intuitive transit complex I have ever encountered in any part of the world. It’s like a whole other city down there. In order of decreasing ease of transit use, it would be Tokyo (easiest) then Kyoto then Osaka.
6 - When riding trains wear backpack at your front. This is what the Japanese do.
7 - As others have said before on Reddit, consider walking over transit in some cases to explore new areas and see more things. I would usually strongly consider walking at least one way if my destination was under 25 minutes away by walking, and I seldom regretted it.
8 - Reserving your seats on Shinkansen is easy to do on ticket machines and worth it. On my trip there was often single seats available to reserve even minutes before the train was to arrive.
9 - For purposes of a tourist, Suica/Passmo/IC card are identical.
10 - IMPORTANT - In some cities, the main city train station also includes the Shinkansen lines e.g., Kyoto, Tokyo. In other cities, the Shinkansen station is separate e.g., Osaka, Kobe, Yokohama i.e., located in a different part of the city. So when reserving your bullet train to Osaka, for example, you can enter your destination as “Shin-Osaka” or “Osaka”. But to get to main Osaka station the machine will prompt you to go through Shin-Osaka.
11- You don’t have to use Shinkansen to get to some destinations like Tokyo to Yokohama, Kyoto to Osaka, Osaka to Kobe, Osaka to Himeji. There are local trains that cover these routes that are less expensive, not busy.
Other tips 1- Businesses, stores, attractions in Japan open LATE - 10am. Unless you’re planning on going to do some outdoonature attraction that’s always open and may be experienced earlier in the day without the crowds, I would strongly advise starting your day later (maybe around 9am) and ending later (maybe around 10pm) so you can be out and about when things are open and so you can experience Japan at night. I made the mistake of starting my day around 7am, having not much to do until 10am, then ending my day at like 7pm cause I was tired but then missing Japan night activities.
2 - Japanese Sim cards are much less complicated than they seem. I ordered mine with my JR Rail Pass from “Japan Experience” company and it worked great. BUT it would have been cheaper to get a eSim card if your phone can accommodate. I used data quite freely (except Netflix and instagram which both use TONS) and used about 9 GBs total for 12 day trip.
BONUS - I went to some movies in Japanese cinema on this trip (I like movies) and fun fact - Japanese people stay with butt in seat until VERY end of credits - and yes, not just the first fun credits but also the 20 minutes of white text on black screen credits.

What I want to know: Am i looking in the right places? Also I stacked some EZ classes (in my school) in the senior year - should I apply RD in most so I can show my grade improvement? Would that improve chances? Also do interviews come after or during visits? I got interviewed at Wooster on my visit and I loved it, and I rly hope to do more if possible :D Also just general tips and suggestions
Thanks! And ask any questions I'll get to them ASAP

Dated for a little over a year on and off. Hard times and even harder break up. (She left me)I honestly lost myself and my mental state. Grieved for about 7 months and picked up habits I never thought would happen. (Drinking myself to sleep and constantly calling out of work because of mental break downs) I was dealing with on and off hurt feelings every time I thought of her. We use to work for the same establishment until I couldn’t take seeing her and transferred to another location.
I thought once I saw her again (if I ever did) all the feelings would come back and I will be stuck at square on. Literally the total opposite.
I was on the phone talking to a customer when I saw her passenger seat of someone’s car. We locked eyes and did not look away from each other until her light turned green and she drove off. I felt relief. I felt free and happy, not for anything besides me seeing her. She had on my favorite glasses and boy was she stunning. I was just happy to see her alive and well. I appreciated her from a distance. She smiled and just kept staring just like the very first day I met her.
Leyman, I love you and proud of the person you are becoming. I hear nothing but great things about you and will always believe in your dreams. Even though we couldn’t make it work, I will always cherish our memories. I believe I can find you in any lifetime.

I have been desperately searching for an interview with FJM that has, for whatever reason, been taken down. I’m hoping one of you has it saved because it was my favorite clip on the internet.
The interview takes place on a bench in New York City, Josh could not be less enthusiastic to be doing this interview. Suddenly, an unhoused/on drugs woman sits between Josh and the interviewer; she becomes an active participant in answering the questions.
The interviewer says something along the lines of, “you were the drummer in Fleet Foxes.” Josh says, “yup” but the woman interjects with “that’s a bullshit question!” The interview devolves until the woman asks if it’s time to do drugs and Josh pulls a joint out of his pocket and lights it for her.
All of the links are dead. I thought the internet was forever :(
Edit: forgot the most important line of “if you can’t eat it, ya can’t fuck it.”
Double edit: No one panic ileftthatnight is the hero we were looking for.

Hello fellow predators!
About a month ago I discovered SpacePaladin15 's story and then this place shortly after. After binge reading through every story I could find I still wasn't satisfied. So I started writing my own!
Shoutouts to rebelhero and Acceptable_Egg5560 for greenlighting some cross references that will come up later.
An extra special thanks goes to eager_question for their help brainstorming some cool plot stuff that will also come up later.

‘…I did not raise Venmka and Sevkan to be this naive.’ I fumed as I pushed my way through the screen door separating the laundry room from the indoor greenhouse our host kept.
Even light years from home and lit only by bloody orange heatlamps, it was still nice to walk between healthy plants. Spaced throughout the room were rows of boxes bearing tall fruiting plants, racks of hanging vines heavy with clusters of yellow and green beans, and low trays of root vegetables ready for harvest. It reminded me of Tulma…
No, focus.
Of course I was sending reports of our stay here back to the office! This trip was an intelligence goldmine! If even half of the technology our oh so civilized host had invented was implemented into the UN’s military forces there would be no stopping them!
My paw traced the ridge of my right eye socket, a claw tracing the skin of my eyelid. I could feel the functionless silicon spacer that sat where my eye had been shift slightly under the pressure.
Bitterness rose up in my chest. ‘They went through all that trouble to keep him alive, and yet the Federation wouldn't clone me one single replacement eye because ‘medical resources are stretched thin on the front right now.’ Pfft. No one does a full eye replacement on a frontline.‘
‘Andre did offer to design something…’ No. I didn’t want to be indebted to this predator like that. Being forced to stay in his home through the winter was already enough of a strain on my nerves as it was.
I paused by the carbon fibre planters Vemnka and I had built a few days ago and shook some of the stress from my shoulders and tail. I leaned over and peered into the dirt. Two tiny leaf sprouts had begun to climb out of the rich soil, barely visible in the dull orange light. “A full harvest of ‘brussels sprouts’ in six weeks or less!” the seed package said. I angled my ears in irritation and moved towards the foggy windows.
I didn’t really believe he intended to feed us that long. After what had happened on the 17th and all that talk of his savage religious rituals it was only a matter of time before some loud noise or predatory demon vision compelled him to attack us. Erich didn’t...
NO. FOCUS.
I looked over the ridge of condensation that clung to the bay windows and into the dark yard. Small solar lanterns dotted the important features, highlighting the paths and furnishings. The contrast seemed to deepen the darkness between them somehow, and it lent the yard a strange alien fee-
A spot of bright red light reflected off the window, the source was right in the centre of my blindspot.
‘Laser sight!’
Trained reflexes took over, and In single a flash of movement I leapt, spun, drew my gun, and activated my own laser before landing in a shooting stance. The green dot of my laser sight lined up squarely… with Andre’s sternum.
He was sitting in one of the wicker chairs on the other side of the tomato cages, across the room from me and well out of pouncing range. Lit from behind by the pale blue moonlight I could see he had been reclining comfortably, looking at his tablet on the small coffee table in front of him. The glowing red tip of one of those burning sticks he enjoyed was hanging from his left hand, trailing smoke into the air.
‘It wasn’t a laser sight, it flared when he inhaled! He wasn’t even looking at me!’
I felt a surge of relief until I realized that he wasn’t looking at me.. because he was looking at the green dot I still had trained on his chest.
Andre looked up from the dot on his shirt and across the room. His terrifying binocular eyes flicked back and forth across the darkness until they locked with my lone eye and...
Without articulating ears or prehensile tails, humans had evolved an entire system of moving muscles in their faces to express things. It was unnerving to watch his entire appearance swim between snarls of sadness, betrayal, rage, before settling into a stone stillness that scared me more than any baring of teeth ever could.
I had seen it before, back in Starside. It was the look of someone who could see the burning napalm arcing towards them and knew they had nowhere to go. 'Never my job to pull the trigger, but they always trusted where I told them to aim…'
Seconds passed, and neither of us moved. My paws began to shake, the laser dot wobbled on his chest, but his eyes were still locked onto me. ‘Make this as easy as it’s supposed to be dammit! lunge at me! Growl! Bare your teeth! Something!’
“Well?” He said, his clipped tone shattering the silence. “You gonna to take the shot or not, Kemmich?”
“What are you doing out here?” I demanded.
“Smoking. Also, it’s my house.” He said, his voice now flat and expressionless, before bringing the stick in his left hand up to his lips and inhaling.
The burning tip flared again, the unkind colour casting a sinister light over the carbon black mechanical arm he held it in. He pointed it at my gun with his other hand, a mirror image of its twin.
“Shoot me already.” Smoke curled up from his lips and nose as he spoke. “Drill two of those coilgun slugs right right through my centre mass. I’m a nice, stationary target. Just like Tokyo, or Montreal, or Berlin.”
I suppressed a flinch at the mention of those names. Cities reduced to rubble and glass by the Federation’s extermination fleet barely a week ago. All three places Andre had lost people. ‘Why is he goading me like this? Wait, that sounded practiced. Oh speh, he anticipated this!’
Determination steadied my aim, until Andre slammed his empty hand down on the coffee table and bolted upright. The impact knocked his tablet to the floor. He didn’t notice.
“A billion and a half wasn’t quite enough for you people, eh?” He said, venom starting to bubble in his voice.
“The Ven-” I started.
“Not the Venlil! You! And people like you!” He had gone from venom to shouting as he spoke. It was loud enough that Vemnka or Sevkan had to have heard it. Good, they needed to see this. To see what their silly sentiments towards these poor misunderstood meat-eaters actually-
“You killed Erich, didn’t you? With that stupid big iron I let you wear around my house.” My heart started to race, my train of thought totally derailed.
“No! How could you say that!?”
“All I got was a bag of ashes and your word for it, Kim. You and your fucking cronies torched him then scraped what was left into a bag so you had an excuse to come here and finish the job yourself, didn’t you? Had to follow it back to it’s den and burn out the nest to be sure, right?”
I may as well have killed him... And the three of us now too. “No! We told you why we came here…” I trailed off weakly.
Andre had been advancing as we spoke, and it wasn’t until he was barely a metre away that I noticed how bright the laser dot on his chest suddenly was in the surrounding darkness.
“Then why are you still pointing your gun at me?”
Before I could formulate an answer, his arms lashed out. In a blur of motion my gun was slapped from my paw and two black mechanical hands wrapped themselves around my head. I tried to draw a breath and scream for help, but all I tasted was ash…

-========================================-

Overview: The Johto Saga feels like part two of the experiment to determine what can work and what can't when making the pokemon anime. The Johto saga being twice as long as the Indigo saga, and Ash was actually battling for badges rather then just getting them because of his character, are just a few of the changes the anime made.
Issues:

• More meaningful filler episodes: One of biggest criticisms fans have against the Johto saga was the amount of boring filler episodes made. I'm among those fans and I especially hate the episodes which didn't even feature and new Johto pokemon such as Tunnel Vision The Wayward Wobbuffet, and Right On, Rhydon!. I would've like to have seen more mini tournament arcs that last more than episode such as Whirl cup. I also found it disappointing that Fight for the Light! introduced the Battle Tower and then forgot about it. We could've have Ash challenging the battle tower to get ready for the Pokémon League. This leads to my next issue with the saga.
• Pikachu was used too much in major battles: During the Johto saga Ash had caught 6 pokemon: Heracross, Chikorita( later Bayleaf, Cyndaquil, Tododile, Noctowl( shiny), and Phanpy, and the amount battling experience they get is sparse because most of the serious battles were won by Pikachu. Totodile for instance could've been used against Morty Jasmine and Pryce thanks to being a water type and knowing moves like bite instead, Noctowl could've been used against Chuck and sweep his fighting types, and Heracross might've won Ash the Plain badge sooner if Ash hadn't left him at Professor Oaks. Of course I can't put all the blame of Pikachu and there is another reason.
• Gym Leaders 5-7 needed to use more than 2 Pokemon : Despite every gym battle( except for the Goldenrod city gym battle) having roughly the same screen time, only Chuck, Jasmine, and Pryce decided to use only two pokemon. That really limited how much battle time Ash's Pokemon could have.

What are you complaints?

Essentially the Title, in a world I'm creating, there is a single people that have been separated from the rest of the continent for thousands of years. During the millennia, they have been ravenously hunted by creatures (designed by some force to actively kill them) and monsters, as well as fighting amongst themselves. In their isolation, they split into numerous tribes, 10-15 in total. All of them are similar but distinct, and I am having trouble finding a cultural identity for all that simultaneously eliminates any "planet of hats" trope but making sure they're distinct at a glance.
The environment of the island is a mix of tall redwood trees, high volcanic mountains with ample snow, a series of pine wooded islands, great valleys of plains perfect for agriculture, and lastly swamps and wetlands near the shores. Similar climate to the North West of America, Arcadia, the great plains, the bayou, Hadia Gwaii, and Newfoundland. Temporate rainforests are the most prevalent.
Inspiration for these cultures is a mix of Celtic, Gaul, North West Native American tribes, the Suomi, and the Tenakth and Otaru from Horizon Forbidden West.
Names for various tribes are already written, I will just be using colors as stand-ins for spelling and clarity.
The tribes I have a rough idea of so far are:

1. Red

One of the most powerful tribes, they have a valley all to themselves where they have grown and expanded forth. They contest the other tribes often, and with the help of their sacred Beast Tamers, can usually drive them off. They have organized agriculture, although much of their clothing and tools are animal-based.

1. Orange

Living amongst the mountains and snowy forests, these isolationists prefer to be left alone in their fortresses of stone. They are avid hunters, and ski down the slopes to pursue their prey or adversaries, as well as just to get around fast. They are strapped in furs, and white fur clothing is seen as the most valuable do to the rarity of the animal that is required to make it.

1. Yellow

Under occupation by a colonization force coming to the island, they live on the vast plains and rivers that flow through them. Although they are not nearly as agriculturally savvy as other tribes, the sheer amount of fertile land and traversable terrain makes them a powerhouse of trade. Although that means they are decentralized, and were easily taken advantage of. (This scenario is mostly done, but the cultural aspects I'm still working on)

1. Light Green

Tucked away in the lush valleys and fjords on the south of the island, this tribe has learned the art of Terramancy. They use the plants of the valleys as food, clothing, tools, and weapons. They are generally peaceful and non-expansive, although their feathers have been ruffled as the other tribes that have been displaced by the colonial conflict begin to encroach upon them.

1. Dark Green

This tribe inhabits the Towering Pines, and are fiercely territorial. They build their cities far up from the ground amongst the pines. Rope bridges connect all of these settlements from the shore to the mountains. The Dark Green are master woodsmiths, as well as prodigal hunters. They have a feud with the Red, and believe they are in league with the Creatures, especially with their beast companions. Dark Green tribesman gather food in the form of Sap, beehives, Grapple Hunting (using spears and arrows with ropes attached, they can hunt and retrieve from afar, not to mention their mastery over the Far-bow have given them much upper body strength.), and mushroom farming. These mushrooms are said to grant abilities that can make humans surpass their natural limit, leading their Beserks to be a feared warrior across the land.

1. Purple

Once living in the forests and plains on the Southern Coast of the island, the Purple were some of the first to oppose the Colonization effort. Although due to this, much of the fighting that occured backfired upon them the most. Their cities became battlefields, and then wastelands against the tide of steel. After they surrendered, much of their population left their homeland and fled West to the lands of Light Green. Even in defeat, they use their intellect to find weakness in their opponents, during single combat they often use the environment to their advantage. Once they see an opening they take it, and make sure the enemy won't be getting up again.

1. Light Blue

Colonist sympathizers at best and national supremacists at worst, this tribe was blessed with technological access unparalleled through the land. Their territory used to be delegated to merely an island, they soon expanded out and pushed out the other tribes from the local area when they discovered an ancient weapons vault hidden in the ruins. They are not evil per se, although they have taken full advantage of their situation to do some colonization themselves. Light blue is obsessed with the past, and attempt to replicate it through their fashion, architecture, and art.
These are the 7 I have so far! Any advice or additional concepts to play with will be extremely helpful to filling out the roster. Some other ideas I've played around with is a seafaring society (although the island has a large variety of waterborne monsters that keep the tribes from leaving) that exists of fishing and lives on the high mountain islands as well as the low mangrove swamps.
Basing more tribes off of magic types is also a possibility, a slash-and-burn nomadic society of pyromancers comes to mind, or another that builds dams upon the rivers using water magic and wood.
I'm excited to hear your thoughts!

Hello! It's early in the morning, I'm preparing some breakfast while getting ready for showering. I'll have to go to work soon, but: I'd love some company now, to make this morning sweeter - but, who am I? I am 22 and graduated university a while ago. I made a tea to help me relax after a workday, would you like a Tea, too? I have coffee as well!
I enjoy travel and have been to thirteen different countries so far. Lately I mostly travel to different cities that are close by! I love taking public transport and listening to music during it - then again, I pretty much always listen to music. Exploring is another great thing and my biggest passion is probably photography (especially when combining all these things).
I read a lot and enjoy writing, too, as well as editing photos I take. I am a bit of a creative person and am also very much into self-improvement! I am learning French, cook and bake and like to cycle a lot. There are lots of other topics that interest me, like urban planning, technology, history, horror, politics and... Just a whole lot more. I also have a fable for fancy lighting and radios!
So... If any of that sounds interesting to you, why not reach out? We might have a pleasant conversation or might even become friends! We could share stories, photos that we took, just talk about our days, jobs, studies, life... I am open to many things! All I ask for is for you to not be inappropriate and to put in a little bit of effort! I am looking forward to meeting you. :)

So I originally posted about making Meularas Oddities sell "for fun items like a bag of beans, but then decided to add a quest for her that could do something with the hetch warehouse. The following is a revision of this fleshed out with the added side quest.
As the party of adventurers steps into Meularas Oddities, the bells above the door jingle merrily, filling the air with a sense of anticipation. Shelves adorned with trinkets and odd contraptions surround them, catching their attention. Meulara, the mischievous kender shopkeeper, stands behind the counter, her eyes dancing with mischief.
Noticing the party's arrival, Meulara swiftly finishes locking away a few items in a cabinet behind her. With a mischievous grin, Meulara turns to the party and begins her sales pitch in her characteristic kender voice. "Welcome, welcome, my adventurous friends! Are you in search of a laugh, a jolly good time, or perhaps something utterly absurd? Look no further! Feast your eyes upon the wonders of Meularas Oddities!" She reaches under the counter and begins to produce small trinkets. "Ah, my curious friends, I have just the thing for you. Feast your eyes upon these marvelous little trinkets!"
One by one, Meulara offers the party a series of seemingly insignificant objects. There's a copper bell that promises to summon a crowd or a cat, a tiny wooden figurine of a dancing gnome with impressive footwork, a pocket-sized telescope that allows one to see distant objects up close, a jar filled with glowing fireflies to light up the night, and a small pouch that always seems to produce a single piece of candy when needed. (Or roll on the trinket table for this part)
After the final trinket has been presented, Meulara leans closer, her voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper. "Now, my friends, if these aren't interesting enough for you, I have a proposition for you. A rogue wizard has just recently stolen something from my shop - a wand. I don't know much about it, but I'd wager I could've sold it for some fair steel. He's currently hiding in the abandoned Hetch warehouse not too far from here. I've tried going to the town guard, but they don't seem too interested in retrieving something that was stolen from a kender for some reason... they said it was probably already stolen, but Kender do not steal. Retrieve the wand, and I'll make you a special offer on my truly extraordinary items from my special cabinet."
Meulara's eyes sparkle with anticipation as she continues, "Be cautious, though. The warehouse has fallen into disrepair, and the rogue wizard has made it his lair. He's crafty and unpredictable."
The adventurers make their way to where the abandoned Hetch warehouse stands, shrouded in an eerie silence. The once bustling hub of activity now exudes an aura of mystery and neglect. The building is in disrepair, and it is overgrown with vines. Wooden boards creak as the party approaches, their footsteps echoing in the empty surroundings.
Entering the dimly lit warehouse, the party is greeted by stacks of forgotten crates, spiderwebs glistening in the corners, and a thick layer of dust covering the floor. The air feels heavy with anticipation.
Suddenly, a figure emerges from the darkness, his long, tattered robes swirling around him. The rogue wizard locks eyes with the party, a sly smile curling his lips. "Ah, intruders. What a perfect opportunity to test the capabilities of my new wand," he sneers, his voice filled with malicious delight.
Unbeknownst to the party, the wizard had cast an alarm spell on the door and was ready to attack with surprise.
With a flick of his hand, the rogue wizard conjures crackling lightning, directing it towards the adventurers. The bolt sizzles through the air, narrowly missing its mark but illuminating the warehouse in a brilliant flash. The rogue wizard's laughter echoes through the room as he revels in his power. He unleashes a second spell, a burst of energy intended to cripple his opponents.
To his surprise and horror, as the spell leaves the wand, it abruptly backfires. A surge of magical energy envelops the rogue wizard, causing him to convulse and stiffen. Stunned, he stands frozen and begins exclaiming, "Wow, marvelous! Simply amazing!"
In his confused state, the rogue wizard believes that something incredible has happened. He is convinced that the wand has granted him unimaginable power. He starts describing how he feels an indescribable surge of energy coursing through his veins, how his senses have become heightened to an extraordinary degree, and how he is now able to see the fabric of reality itself.
With the threat neutralized, the adventurers retrieve the wand and discover it is actually a wand of wonder. They then make their way back to Meularas Oddities. The kender shopkeeper's eyes sparkle with delight as they return, victorious.
"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" Meulara exclaims, her voice tinged with mirth. "You've managed to reclaim the wand, and in such a spectacular fashion too! Truly remarkable. I wasn't sure if you be able to pull it off, that wizard is tricky you know. "You see, he asked me to see the wand, claiming he was interested in purchasing it. But as soon as I turned away for a moment, poof! He vanished into thin air, leaving behind this funny coin." Meulara reaches under the counter and retrieves a peculiar coin, engraved with odd symbols, and says "it's not like any currency I've ever seen so i figured he must have tried to trick me by leaving this funny trinket and stole my wand.
The party members gaze at the coin, their eyes widening with astonishment. They recognize its immense worth and the opportunities it presents.
One of the adventurers speaks up, their voice filled with awe. "Meulara, this coin is not just a funny trinket. It's made of platinum, a precious metal that is highly sought after. It holds significant value, far beyond its weight. This is a small fortune!"
Meulara's eyes widen in surprise and excitement. "Oh, my goodness! I never would have guessed. I mistook the situation entirely. That tricky wizard never intended to steal the wand from me. He left this platinum coin as payment.
The party members exchange glances, realizing the true nature of the misunderstanding, and Meulara's expression shifts to one of contemplation. She ponders for a moment before addressing the party once more.
"My friends," she begins, her voice tinged with a mix of seriousness and determination, "I believe it is only fair that we return this wand to the wizard who left behind this valuable coin. It seems he never intended to steal from me but had a different motive altogether. Let us find him and make amends."
With a renewed sense of purpose, the adventurers agree to accompany Meulara on this quest. Together, they set off to locate the elusive wizard, their footsteps resonating with determination.
After a brief search, they finally track down the rogue wizard, who stands before them with a mix of surprise and curiosity. Meulara steps forward, holding out the wand to him. "We have come to return what you left behind, dear wizard," she says, her voice filled with sincerity.
The wizard's eyes widen as he recognizes the wand. He extends a hand, motioning for them to keep it. "No, no, my friends," he says, his tone surprisingly earnest. "I have discovered the true nature of this wand. It is far too unpredictable for my tastes. It backfired on me once, and I realized that its powers are too volatile. I believe it has found more deserving owners in you."
The adventurers exchange puzzled glances, astonished by the unexpected turn of events. The wizard continues, his voice filled with a newfound wisdom. "You have proven your worth and resourcefulness by retrieving the wand. It is yours now, and I trust that you will handle its power with caution and bravery."
Meulara's eyes sparkle with a mix of gratitude and relief. "Thank you, kind wizard," she says. "We accept this gift with humility and will wield its power responsibly."
And so, the wand remains in the hands of the adventurers, a symbol of their triumph and the trust bestowed upon them by the wizard. They bid farewell to the enigmatic spellcaster, knowing that they now possess a truly extraordinary and unpredictable artifact.
Returning to Meularas Oddities, the kender shopkeeper once again gets a twinkle in her eye. "Well, well, well, my dear adventurers," she exclaims, her voice filled with mirth. "It seems the wand has found its true owners after all. Embrace its magic and continue your adventures with caution and wonder." Now as promised, for all your trouble, I'll show you my special items for sale. With a flourish, Meulara unlocks the glass case, revealing the assortment of extraordinary items. "How about a Bag of Beans, known to produce unpredictable results when planted; the Sovereign Glue, which could stick just about anything together; and the Dust of Sneezing and Choking, guaranteed to elicit laughter and pranks."
However, Meulara had more up her sleeve. She motioned toward some more special items, carefully guarded behind the glass case. "Ah, but wait, my dear adventurers! If you seek something truly extraordinary, I have a few select oddities that might catch your fancy."
She pointed to an Immovable Rod, explaining its ability to freeze in space and serve as a steadfast anchor. Nearby was a set of Nolzur's Marvelous Pigments, promising to bring life to the imaginations of artists and pranksters alike. And next to those, an Alchemy Jug awaited, ready to produce an assortment of liquids, from harmless drinks to more eccentric concoctions.
Meulara's eyes gleamed with excitement. "But wait, there's more! Behold, the Oil of Slipperiness! Perfect for evading enemies or causing hilarious slips and slides.
And so, the story continues, the adventurers armed with the unpredictable wand and an array of extraordinary oddities from Meularas Oddities, ready to face the challenges that lie ahead.
