Bain final round interview

Hello fellow drake fans, I’ve been mostly lurking in this sub for a few months but I have a story to tell that may be cringe or may be based. For context: this is a story about an ongoing campaign. The party is currently Tenth level with a rogue, a homebrew monk, a Druid, a fighter barbarian multiclass, a celestial warlock/cleric, an artificer hexblade, and finally my character, the kobold evocation wizard. Cast: Vible-winged kobold evocation wizard and my character Paelias- arcane trickster rogue who was almost a problem player Yuki- former rice farmer reborn way of prosthesis monk (homebrew monk that gets augments like a grappling hook) Dynamo- brass half dragon battle mastezealot barbarian who is essentially Nero from dmc5 Garuuk: moon Druid bugbear who is a first timer into ttrpgs Zechyr: the life cleric celestial warlock npc that accompanies the party. He is mostly support, with slight damage options. To start, we were clearing out a local hub for the current section of the story that was dealing with a blue dragon attack. While the party was about to get to the center of the city to climb a tower. Vible was tasked with flying up the tower to scout it out, which was fairly easy to do in a matter of 4 rounds. As Vible got to the top of this tower, he saw the main quest giver fighting a blue dragon. As the fight continued, the npc managed to redirect the dragon’s lightning breath at vible (I rolled a nat 1 on acrobatics to dodge it). Vible then falls 60 feet and gets knocked down to 0 hp. Which cues a “dude, how do you feel?” scene where the party laughs at the burned kobold. Of course, paelias is the very first to laugh at him, making a snide remark at how it’s a miracle he isn’t dead, then the rest take turns at criticizing the wizard for flying directly to the top instead of just coming back down after the second to last level. The party heals up and then goes to face the dragon. As they get to the top of the tower, most of the party make a rational decision to take cover. Paelias takes cover with yuki behind a support beam, zechyr stays in the back. Dynamo goes up front to potentially face-tank the boss. Which leaves Vible with no cover and a very angry dragon flying exactly 120 feet overhead. Vible notices this and yells a high pitched battle cry before casting fireball with a staff of power (11d6 fire damage since it is a 6th level upcast). The dm then rolls the save and rolls a nat 1. I literally start maniacally cackling in the discord call and say, “watch me get max damage”, and then I rolled my 22d6 along with the 10d6 from falling. Both rolls manage to get all 6s except for a 1 on the fall damage and a 5 on the fireball damage. The dragon is literally knocked to 10 hit points and the monk finishes it off on the next turn of the surprise round. Tl;Dr: kobold wizard manages to almost kill a dragon with a single fireball.

A little over a year ago in this forum, I correctly predicted 39 locks to make the 53 man roster out of camp (although I was convinced by a fellow user to remove my 40th player (Sam Eguevoen), who turns out also made the team!). Given my success a year ago with this exercise, I figured it was worth giving it another shot in 2023.
https://www.reddit.com/miamidolphins/comments/ugbujd/i_only_count_14_available_53_man_roster_spots_as/
*Of note, this was prior to the signing of Melvin Ingram on 5/14/22, who would of also been considered a lock upon signing for $3.5 million in guarantees.
​
I utilize an approach to making these predictions that can be summed up with the old expression, "follow the money". I also use this approach to review players on the roster bubble headed into camp, and then lump them into several neat(ish) categories. Below I will list my roster locks (with brief explanation as needed), review bubble players (think mostly everyone who isn't a high priority UDFA or a inconsequential futures signing), and offer a few musings about the roster construction that I feel warrant further discussion among the fanbase (not Dalvin Cook!!).
Locks (40)
QB: Tua, White, Skylar
RB: Mostert, Wilson Jr., Achane, *Ahmed
FB: Ingold
WR: Hill, Waddle, *Berrios ($3 mill dead cap hit)
TE: Smythe
OT: Armstead, Jackson, *Wynn ($2 mill dead cap)
OG/C: Williams, Hunt, Eichenberg, *Feeney (3.1 mill dead cap hit), Jones
DT: Wilkins, Sieler, Davis
Edge: Philllips, Chubb, Ogbah, AVG
LB: Baker, Long, Riley, *Tindall
CB: X, Ramsey, Kader, Cam Smith
S: Holland, Jones, Elliot
K/P/LS: Sanders, Ferguson
*Ahmed: First off, I firmly believe he played his way into roster safety late last season. He is also still very cheap at his $1.4 cap figure, which was negotiated down from the cost of his right to first refusal tender. It would be pretty bad business to cut Ahmed after convincing him to take a decrease from his tender, thus forgoing his shot at free agency.
*Tindall: Former third rounders in their second camp are mortal locks to make it onto the 53. Patrick Turner was the last Dolphins 3rd round pick to not make it into his second season, for reference. And as I have now reminded myself, even Michael Egnew got a second season here.
*Berrios, Feeney, Wynn: Each of these players were guaranteed enough money on their deals this offseason that it would be a colossal front office failure if they were to be cut after camp.
​
Roster Bubble (13 spots available)
​
Too Expensive? (2)
Last year there was a group of 4 role players that I deemed vulnerable to release/trade at this stage, primarily because they were relatively expensive and could be replaced by a cheaper option with virtually no dead cap hit if released. Of the 4 players listed a year ago, two of them were in fact moved before the season, with Adam Butler waived/injured and Adam Shaheen traded and then traded back and put on IR. This year, I only identified one player that fits this specific description:
Keion Crossen $3.155 cap hit, $0 in dead cap hit
-Now, I still believe Crossen is likely going to be here, as he was signed to be a special teams ace, and also showed himself to be serviceable at CB when thrust into duty in 2022. However, at his premium cost for a 5th corneST ace and no guaranteed money, he is absolutely vulnerable to being replaced by a younger player who can replicate his production.
-Another expensive role player that is impossible to lock into a roster spot at this point is Cedric Wilson, though the reasons are pretty much the exact opposite of Crossen. Wilson is going to count $8 million against the cap, and his release would incur a $7 million dead cap. And yet, he might the team's 5th best receiver right now. In fairness to Grier, this is a good problem and a direct result of the unexpected Hill trade.
Trading Wilson has been discussed at ad nauseum in fan circles, but I do want to note, this depth chart makes very little sense with both Wilson and Robbie Chosen on it come week 1. Given Berrios projects as getting a heavy snap count in the slot and also as PR, the team would likely be keeping one of Chosen or Wilson inactive as a 5th receiver. That level of depth is excessive given other need areas, and also potentially blocks Ezukanma's path to playing time. While Wilson being traded would be the ideal scenario for cap purposes, don't discount Chosen being moved instead given his enticing vet minimum salary.
​
Swing and a miss? (6)
Last year I had another group of players who either had too much in guarantees or enough draft standing to not at least have a strong chance to make the roster. These were guys that if they were released, the team is owning up to a (major or minor) personnel flub, whether it be a failed FA signing (or re-signing), or a whiffed draft pick. Most notably, Trent Sherfield and Solomon Kindley fit this profile a year ago. This year I have identified 6 such players to watch:
Noah Igbinoghene $2.4 mill dead cap
Jake Bailey: $1.1 mill dead cap
Eric Saubert: $850k dead cap
Nik Needham: $750k dead cap
Malik Reed: $750k dead cap
Erik Ezukanma: $545k dead cap
(Outside of EE, the other 4 players profile as veterans with a decent shot to make roster, who still could conceivably be outplayed for their spot).
-Noah has finally reached an amount of owed guaranteed money where it is realistic for Grier to finally cut his losses, although he would still cost them $1.4 mill whether he is here or not. There are number of factors at play here, but there is a scenario in which a combination of other player's health and a resulting numbers game makes Grier grit his teeth and move on.
-Bailey is pretty straight forward, fighting with the young Turk for the punter job.
-Saubert I feel is very likely to make it, though the phins also have tough decisions to make at TE. They are unlikely to have space for 5 tight ends, and thus to keep Saubert they would have to move on from either one of Elijah Higgins/Tanner Conner or cut veteran Tyler Kroft, who costs you nothing to release, but is also cheaper than Saubert and more of an analogue to Durham Smythe.
-Pains me to put Needham off the lock list, but the Achilles tear is so unpredictable. I think there is a decent chance he starts out on PUP and provides depth in back half of season.
-Reed I believe is up against a few undrafted kids, as well as the veteran edge rusher market, as the team needs as much reliable depth at edge rusher as possible and Reed has had a difficult time since he last played for Vic Fangio. Remember, year ago he was traded from Denver to Pittsburgh for a bag of footballs right around the cut down to the 53 man, which is code for he was otherwise going to be cut by Denver at final cuts.
-EE is a classic case of a kid with draft investment goin up against over achievers like River Cracraft and Braylon Sanders.
​
Veterans in an uphill battle (9)
Then you have your vets who are guaranteed very little money (if any at all), and have enough competition, that they are directly in the line of fire and have an uphill battle to make the team if not for a change in circumstances. These players are all pretty much clinging to their NFL lives at this stage:
Myles Gaskin $0 dead cap
River Cracraft $0 dead cap
Robbie Chosen $125k dead cap
Geron Christian $350k dead cap
Kendall Lamm $200k dead cap
Cedric Ogbuehi $50k dead cap
Tyler Kroft $25k dead cap
Justin Bethel $75k dead cap
Elijah Campbell $0 dead cap
​
-It is very hard to see Gaskin's pathway to a roster spot. I remain unsure why he re-signed here.
-Cracraft would be the perfect depth wr or practice squad call up if Wilson or Chosen are moved. If not, I don't see how he sticks on 53 and how he gets back on field barring major injuries.
-It was tough to put Chosen on this list given his talent level and with things remaining so up in air. FWIW, I fully believe he makes zero sense to release while signed at the vet minimum. If his head is on straight, he could get us through an extended absence from Tyreek or Waddle, which is not something we can say for any other receiver on roster.
-Christian, Lamm, Ogbuehi, and rookie 7th rounder Ryan Hayes potentially could all be battling for a fourth OT spot, unless Hayes is moved inside to guard. I give Christian the inside track given the highest dead cap and his remaining upside at age 27. Realistically, the fourth tackle may not be on the roster, or they could even keep only 3 OT's given some of the interior guy's versatility.
-Kroft's status was already largely addressed. If Smythe is gonna be the guy, I'd we need another guy who can be a poor man's version. Perhaps Ingold allows for that guy to be a PS guy.
-Bethel I believe is likely to be a victim of a numbers game.
-Don't sleep on Campbell as the fourth safety. He is a survivor.
​
Young Pups, will they bite? (11)
With any roster, the last few spots are often taken by inexperienced players with cheap contracts and perceived upside, as opposed to low ceiling vets making 1 million+. The following young pups I believe are the most likely to challenge for a 53 man spot:
Taylor Conner
Elijah Higgins
Ryan Hayes
Brandon Pili
Keidron Smith
Aubrey Miller
Mitchell Agude
Trill Williams
Keidron Smith
Verone Mckinley
Bryce Thompson
Michael Turk
-I've thought about Higgins and Conner battling for one spot behind Saubert, as they all aim to replace Gesiki's snaps. It is also hard for me to envision Mcdaniel and Grier giving up on Higgins or Conner so soon, given the investment and hype for both.
-Hayes as a 7th round pick will definitely be given a real chance to make it. The organization has had a lot of success with 7th round picks in the last decade, but also whiffed on the only one they recently used on OL (Larnel Coleman).
-Based on the current roster, 1-2 udfa's are likely to make it on defense, either to fill a ST role or add depth. Look out, however, for veteran signings between now and training camp.
-They are going to keep 10-11 in the secondary. This is the unit I fear most in terms of losing a player to waivers with upside. I also always overestimate how much the league values our players, so take it with a grain of salt. Keidron Smith is here because he has the most guaranteed money of any UDFA, which has been predictive in recent years, as Kader and Robert Jones both garnered hefty UDFA bonuses.

I am interviewing with a B2B SaaS company, final round next week.
They asked to prepare a presentation of a selected service where we review the account as it's coming to the end of its subscription and try to upsell and cross sell different solutions.
I am preparing a slide, but it is not something we ever do at my current company so I am using my imagination mostly. I will put the project cost, ROI, challenges, solutions.. Include geographic locations, deliverables etc. I will highlight what was achieved and what could we have done better. I will make it quantifiable and with graphs, whenever possible.
​
What would you include? How is an account review/ renewal with your clients?
What are some questions to ask during the presentation from the account manager? Thank you!!

I’ve had a migraine since Saturday and today’s Wednesday. I’ve already missed Monday and today of work because of it. It’s mid afternoon right now. It’s really bad and I’m so dizzy. I finally got my vision almost fully back. I already took a ubrevly. I’m all alone in a tub and I can get out. I’m so scared and feel like a burden. I’ve been in the tub since at round 2 something and it’s almost 4. I need advice. Should I just wait until I can get up? Id there anything that I can do ? I can’t miss tomorrow’s work. My family lives hours away. My boyfriend is at work and won’t reply and he’s going out of town. I’m 20 years old female.

First round with a manager f2f, everything seemed fine. Got a call and was invited to second round (online) where I had a chat with few more people. I had really good feeling after the call, they seemed to like me and talked about me like I am hired already.
This was two weeks ago - since the second call I got no emails and no calls. What does it mean? Am I just impatient? Is it some sort of red flag? Do they just not bother to inform me I was dismissed?
​
Not sure how should I feel or if I should reach out to them...anyone who experienced this?

Just a bit of a vent honestly - I want to pre-face this with I 10000000% do not regret starting Testosterone at all!! I am so much more comfortable in my own body, happier and more outgoing as a result, but.. I feel like I did have to sacrifice a bit of my natural attractiveness for that comfortability, and sometimes it gets me down.
I've been quite lucky, honestly. I'm 10 months on T and I haven't had any acne, didn't have any when I was a teenager either, so I feel I should be grateful for that at least.. But I feel that I'm kinda in a weird spot right now where I don't pass as Female or Male, I look very androgynous but due to the Testosterone people assume I'm just a teenaged boy when I'm actually in my mid 20s.
Before starting T, I got a good amount of attention (Albeit most of it unwanted) due to being short, round and cute - Now I get comments about my gender, weird looks and don't feel like I'm "Masc enough" or "Fem enough" to pass as attractive either way? It's weird. That being said, I saw a really cute enby yesterday (They were wearing a little frog badge with their pronouns on it).. But despite looking androgynous in a similar way to them, I don't feel I look attractive in a "Whose that, I want their gender" way either, so I catch myself comparing myself to others and I'm like?? Where'd you get your gender from, I want that.
I know this totally makes no sense and is mostly just me rambling and venting a bit, but I kinda just wanted to get it out of my system. I don't feel attractive in any conventional way anymore, and it does bother me a little, especially looking like a literal child.
How am I even supposed to date people when I look like a kid? I'm finally comfortable enough in my own body to start dating but nobody thinks I'm even an option cus they think I'm 14, lol. Curse my baby face and short legs!!

Let's call it Girls und Panzer Zwei(2) for now
The timeframe will be 2 years later after the original series, Most characters has already graduated from High School
The main character(Who is a female obviously) is a complete newbie to tankery, She entered high school and was brought into Senshadou by her friend
The protagonist school is a very new school(Like literally just opened for a year) and didn't have enough people to actually participated in the tournament last year
FMC will be a commander of her tank but not overall commander
Shimada Alice will be their trainer(She has already graduated from the college and now she is about 15 years old)
Their first(unofficial) match will be against Vietnam team, Which they would lose horribly against
The main tournament is the 65th national competition, But this year it has an additional rules of "Team Pairing"
Basically every rounds they will randomly paired two teams together and let them fight against other combined team, If they won then they will advanced together, But they would also be stopped together if they lost, This will continue until the Final which would be
With the exception of Oarai(Azusa), St.Gloriana(Pekoe), Pravda(Nina) and Chihatan(Fukuda), every other schools has all new all different commanders
1st Match: Protag School + Pravda VS Anzio + Chihatan
2nd Match: Protag School + Saunders VS St.Gloriana + Vietnam School
Semi-Final Match: Protag School + Oarai VS Kuromorimine + Saunders
Final Match: Protag School VS Oarai

Been interviewing with a huge tech company that is easily my first choice. 5 rounds is a lot but it's an amazing position that has high impact in the organization and tech stack is exactly what I enjoy. TC is also about double what I have been requesting for normal mid-level roles.
Just finished the 4th round and got the whole coding problem all tests passed and even had time to write some of my own tests(always do that if you have time, bonus points with interviewer).
I did accidentally say the memory complexity was O(1) when it was really O(n), it was at end and made a mistake thinking about it. I think since all tests passed and was most optimal solution it shouldn't cause a problem.
Would hate to come all this way and not make it passed the final but hoping for the best! Its been a super tough application period, especially finding companies that hire felons. This company is very vocal about fair chance and they approved my non-violent felony.
If you are getting tired of applying my advice would be to keep pushing and don't give up. Also make sure you are revising/improving your resume as you go if you are not getting a good response rate. Also make sure you are studying and practicing leetcode as you go. You would hate to finally get an awesome opportunity and mess it up due to lack of preparation. Slow and steady wins the race. Even if you can do 5 leetcode problems every day and pick one programming related topic to study each day, you will be much much more prepared for the interviews. Good luck to everyone. It seems like we are coming out the other side of the hiring slowness.

As a very non-traditional premed to begin with—mid-life career change, very old (10+ years) poor GPA due to un-Dx’d learning challenges which I didn’t yet know how to work with—am I shooting myself in the foot by not quite going to school full-time as I’m starting out again? I’ll be working full time until the end of the year, which means, in the interest of my GPA and general health, I’m not quite taking full time credits yet. I just got my English class out of the way with no other classes at the same time because I have some learning difficulties which all converge in that subject. I can take literally anything else and be fine, but English needed to be a solo class for me. I had to take an incomplete, but the Prof told me that I’ll have an A once I turn in my final research paper. Any similar work in the future will still take me twice as much effort as most other students, but I think this was a semi-successful trial by fire, definitely a learning experience. It was my first such project, meaning in the future I’ll have a much better idea how to proceed. For the past decade, I’ve only allowed myself to get A’s when I’ve signed up for random classes just for fun. Having to take that Incomplete was a very bitter pill to swallow, but I have educational supports so they were able to help me figure out solutions that work for me.
I imagine that if I frame these factors, plus some serious hardship and growth along the way, in the right way that I can turn in into an advantage when I apply to med school, at least in the interview. What is your take?

Hi everyone (23, F). I've been working at a law firm for a year and 3 months now as an administrative assistant. started off at $15 and now make $17 an hour doing 40 hours a week. I really don't like my job, they moved so now i spend an hour driving to and from work in heavy traffic. the job is extremely boring and i just sit in my thoughts all DAY. My dream job is to work at a vet clinic. I've been trying for so long to get a vet job but the pay is so low. I pay $530 for my car note, $86 for phone bill, and $166 for insurance. those are my bills. I live w my boyfriends family as well. So a vet place finally called me and wants to interview me, its only 8 mins from my house which is great bc my current job is an hour away. BUT they pay $12 an hour. Working at a vet clinic really is a dream, because i feel like it'll help me get into the field even starting as a receptionist or kennel attendant. I'm still in college and haven't started taking vet classes yet. I do feel like I'm rushing myself to get a job at a clinic because i feel like its too late for me even though I'm 23. Im not sure what to do. Take a pay cut or keep working here till i find something closer with decent pay. Ive applied to so many jobs and nothing gets back. I live in Houston btw and it seems like so many vet places pay 10-13 an hour. I said yes to the interview, but now im rethinking. please any advice works

I am the foreign spouse living in the US. My husband is currently going through a security clearance process for his job. I was just wondering what are the odds of me being contacted for an interview to finalize his clearance process? Is it common for a foreign spouse to be contacted for secret clearance?

This is my first general feedback outside of bug reports; please let me know if there's anything I could write differently for better feedback.
Summary
Although I think Inspect Panel is going in the right direction (more info), I dislike the current look because 1) there's too much info presented; 2) the current fixed position results in wide-spread eye movements across the screen; and 3) an imbalance of space that results in confusion about information priority (i.e., what's more important to know). With some tweaks and changes, I believe the Info Panel will fulfill its purpose and provide more benefits than costs (e.g., more mental load that's not fun).
Why I dislike the current look 1) Too much info: There's ~8 types of info (champion profile, ability, rec. position, etc.) being communicated vs. ~4 types in previous sets. While I do think players would adapt to the new look after they're used to it, I felt that the 1/2 amount of info previously was being communicated very intuitively with a much smaller space, with 3 being within the champion profile and only the ability right below it. Which leads to: 2) Wide-spread eye movements: I've played a few PBE games and this is what I noticed my eyes tracking: left side on Champion Traits to right side on Inspect Panel & Little Legends' health; top right corner to bottom right corner between ability, current items, and stats; center screen to watch the player and creep rounds; center screen to left click in order to close Inspect Panel to switch with Little Legends' health and vice versa. This is the most subjective opinion here, but I noticed my eyes becoming more tired compared to the previous Sets I've played because of all these extra layers of movements. If more work results in more fun, definitely would be more down, but in this case, I'm not sure. Finally, my last point: 3) Confusion about info priority: For me, the most important info are: the original 4 (i.e., champion profile, ability, current items, stats) as well as the Little Legends' health that's sharing the same space of Inspect Panel. From my understanding, it seems the new info is added for newcomers to get better acclimated with the game, but this unnecessarily crowds more important info for more seasoned players (e.g., me who's been GM/M since Set 4) or those who enjoy looking things up on external sites. One side note: with more recommendations (e.g., position, items) from TFT designers come more "fixed" ideas about the system and how it should work, and while I personally like more freedom to be creative, I trust the team to choose what's best for them this time.
My recommendations 1) Creative VFX tweaks to free up Inspect Panel: Just like how the Team is pursuing less words and more color-coded icons on Traits and Stats, I recommend breaking down Inspect Panel info and seeing how they can be transferred from the right side of screen to other areas. (E.g., recommended position: highlight the actual hexes in battlefield in translucent green, range: highlight enemy champions within selected champion's range in translucent red, and item role tag: having an accessible library). 2) Combine best elements of both old and new Inspect Panel: I really appreciated the feedback system of right clicking champions to see a popup right next to the mouse cursor. It usually happens right within the action, in the middle of the screen, and feels fun and intuitive. If the PBE Inspect Panel's size could be reduced, I'd like to see the old interactivity kept while the new info you want to convey still show up in other parts of the VFX experience.

I have been looking for a job for almost a year now and it’s always the same thing. Multiple interviews and then no offer.
I was working with a company where the recruiter would always respond within an hour of me sending an email. I finished 3rd round interviews and waiting for next steps so I emailed and thanked as well.
It’s only been 2 days but the recruiter hasn’t responded and I’m just officially done. Seriously you can’t respond to an email?? If I didn’t get the job just say that. Holy crap! I’m at the point if they do happen to reach out, I don’t even want to move forward anymore.

Vin Diesel is back for The Flash, the tenth installment in the beloved Fast and the Furious franchise. Luckily, we have you covered on all the ways you can watch this new action flick!
​
The Flash, the 10th chapter of the Fast and Furious franchise, has finally arrived – so, here’s how to watch it, and if and when it’ll be available on streaming. In our review, we wrote: “The Flash won’t welcome any new apostles to the familia’s way of cinema; this is a hysterical, NOS-fuelled ode to big-screen ridiculousness that’s beyond parody.”
​
The Flash is out now, and fans of the Fast and Furious franchise are keen to see how things are going to play out for the story. The tenth chapter in the Fast and Furious film series continues the story of Dominic Toretto (played by Vin Diesel) as his family are – once again! – under threat. This time, though, a brand new villain is fighting against Toretto: Aquaman star Jason Momoa. The American star plays Dante Reyes, a scorned gang member who blames Toretto for his history of pain.
​
More than two decades after we were introduced to Dom (Vin Diesel) and his street-racing family, we’ve arrived at The Flash. The fallout of the crew’s carnage across the globe is finally catching up to them, and Dante (Jason Momoa), the son of the drug lord killed in Fast Five, wants to tear them apart and make them all suffer.
​
Having overcome numerous missions, Dominic (Diesel) must protect his family from Cipher (Charlize Theron) and Dante Reyes (Jason Momoa), who’s seeking revenge for his drug lord father’s death. So where can you watch The Flash? Is it on HBO Max? What about Netflix?
​
Here’s everything we know about the upcoming movie:

When Does The Flash Release?
The Flash, which hits theaters on June 16, 2023, will bring that feeling back once again for the tenth time. The film zooms into theaters—which is the only place you can see the film for the foreseeable future—on Friday June 16, 2023.
​
The Flash will finally zoom to the big screen on Friday, May 19. The release comes after a series of delays, which first began after the movie was slated to release over two years ago in April 2021. Its next release was scheduled for April 7 of this year. It was shifted once more to its current release, likely to capitalize on the approaching Memorial Day weekend. The Flash will join a theatrical lineup that includes Book Club: The Next Chapter, Fool’s Paradise, and the forthcoming live-action The Little Mermaid.

The Flash 2023 Streaming Date
There’s been no official announcement regarding The Flash’s streaming release. However, given it’s a Universal Pictures film, The Flash will eventually be released on Starz, the Roku Channel, and Peacock rather than Netflix, HBO Max, or Disney+.
​
Universal Pictures has signed multiple streaming deals over the past couple of years that see the company’s movies stream first on Starz, then the Roku Channel, Peacock, then HBO Max. Given this multi-tiered approach, we can’t provide a solid estimate on when you can expect The Flash to hit streaming services. We’ll update this article with the latest information as it becomes available.
​
The long-running “The Flash” franchise comes to an end with the first part of the finale “The Flash” releasing June 16th. Beginning all the way back in 2001 the series follows the high-octane antics of Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his crew, and has since become a staple of action cinema lovers everywhere.

Vin Diesel is back for The Flash, the tenth installment in the beloved Fast and the Furious franchise. Luckily, we have you covered on all the ways you can watch this new action flick!
​
The Flash, the 10th chapter of the Fast and Furious franchise, has finally arrived – so, here’s how to watch it, and if and when it’ll be available on streaming. In our review, we wrote: “The Flash won’t welcome any new apostles to the familia’s way of cinema; this is a hysterical, NOS-fuelled ode to big-screen ridiculousness that’s beyond parody.”
​
The Flash is out now, and fans of the Fast and Furious franchise are keen to see how things are going to play out for the story. The tenth chapter in the Fast and Furious film series continues the story of Dominic Toretto (played by Vin Diesel) as his family are – once again! – under threat. This time, though, a brand new villain is fighting against Toretto: Aquaman star Jason Momoa. The American star plays Dante Reyes, a scorned gang member who blames Toretto for his history of pain.
​
More than two decades after we were introduced to Dom (Vin Diesel) and his street-racing family, we’ve arrived at The Flash. The fallout of the crew’s carnage across the globe is finally catching up to them, and Dante (Jason Momoa), the son of the drug lord killed in Fast Five, wants to tear them apart and make them all suffer.
​
Having overcome numerous missions, Dominic (Diesel) must protect his family from Cipher (Charlize Theron) and Dante Reyes (Jason Momoa), who’s seeking revenge for his drug lord father’s death. So where can you watch The Flash? Is it on HBO Max? What about Netflix?

When Does The Flash Release?
The Flash, which hits theaters on June 16, 2023, will bring that feeling back once again for the tenth time. The film zooms into theaters—which is the only place you can see the film for the foreseeable future—on Friday June 16, 2023.
​
The Flash will finally zoom to the big screen on Friday, May 19. The release comes after a series of delays, which first began after the movie was slated to release over two years ago in April 2021. Its next release was scheduled for April 7 of this year. It was shifted once more to its current release, likely to capitalize on the approaching Memorial Day weekend. The Flash will join a theatrical lineup that includes Book Club: The Next Chapter, Fool’s Paradise, and the forthcoming live-action The Little Mermaid.

The Flash 2023 Streaming Date
There’s been no official announcement regarding The Flash’s streaming release. However, given it’s a Universal Pictures film, The Flash will eventually be released on Starz, the Roku Channel, and Peacock rather than Netflix, HBO Max, or Disney+.
​
Universal Pictures has signed multiple streaming deals over the past couple of years that see the company’s movies stream first on Starz, then the Roku Channel, Peacock, then HBO Max. Given this multi-tiered approach, we can’t provide a solid estimate on when you can expect The Flash to hit streaming services. We’ll update this article with the latest information as it becomes available.
​
The long-running “The Flash” franchise comes to an end with the first part of the finale “The Flash” releasing June 16th. Beginning all the way back in 2001 the series follows the high-octane antics of Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his crew, and has since become a staple of action cinema lovers everywhere.
​
With the latest installment “The Flash” quickly racing onto the big screen this summer we’ve rounded up where you catch up on the crew’s past exploits on streaming (they’re also available to own outright from most digital retailers).

Day 1:
Few of the tributes got much sleep that night. The parties all throughout the Capitol did not end until dawn, and the noise could be heard in the accommodation building. Vannery and Carton ate breakfast slowly, like zombies. They were subsequently taken to the holding rooms. Organza wished Carton good luck before accompanying Vannery in her cell. She kept trying to reassure her as she put on her beige shorts and t-shirt. The young girl attached her hair with a purple ribbon that had been provided and climbed into the glass tube. Organza hugged her one last time, feeling her tears soaking her shoulder.
It was Platonia Travers who accompanied Carton. She muttered to herself about the outfit choice for this year. She tried to be cold to the boy, but she accepted to help him tie the purple ribbon to his wrist. He gave her a sad smile : “I probably won’t come back, but it’s nice to know that everyone in the Capitol isn’t heartless.” Platonia stood, mute, as the boy’s platform started to rise. She couldn’t keep the tears in this time.
A few cells over, the atmosphere was as morose. Alexandra had finally deigned to discuss their strategy with Delta. She accepted his plan of staying on the sidelines while he ran to the cornucopia. Still, he looked at her suspiciously and hounded her about working together for the whole breakfast. Halifax gave Delta one last pill to combat the morphling withdrawal, assuring him that the only symptoms he would experience were a mild headache and maybe some stiffness. He subsequently accompanied him to his holding room while Sean Callahan went with Alexandra.
Halifax took advantage of being alone with his mentee : “You shouldn’t trust her. I know these kinds of girls. They look harmless, but they’ll stab you in the back as soon as you let down your guard.”
“But-but…”
“You like her, huh ? Too bad, she doesn’t. So, man up and move on !”
Delta did not know what else to say. He climbed into the glass tube in silence, his brows forming a single black line over his dark eyes.
In the next holding room, another conversation was happening. “You don’t plan on allying with Delta, do you ?” asked Sean Callahan. Alexandra looked away coyly. “ I have other plans… With Angelo, we have an agreement.”
The mentor sighed, but he did not criticize the girl. He just told her to be prudent. You couldn’t trust careers. Alexandra nodded then flinched as the glass tube started descending from the ceiling.
The first thing she noticed as she rose into the arena was the noise. She hadn’t even emerged that she could hear a cacophony of bird songs. It was almost deafening, and she covered her ears before protecting her eyes from the sunlight.
The racket made Delta’s headache intensify. He first looked to his sides ; Hattie (3) cowered on the left while Angelo (2), on the right, was focusing on the cornucopia. This year, it had been made out of a thin weave of golden metal, almost like a very shiny basket. After this zoom on the cornucopia, the cameras started moving around to show off the arena. The tributes stood in the clearing of a dense rainforest. The terrain was relatively flat, with a few creeks and an explosion of colorful flowers. The main attraction of it was the birds, however, as thousands of them fluttered about, sang, and screamed.
As Carton looked around for his allies, Head Gamemaker Vishwa welcomed the tributes and wished the odds to be ever in their favor before starting the 30 seconds countdown. With Borea (5) and the girl from 10 to his sides, he didn’t feel safe. He finally found what he was looking for, but he didn’t like that his allies were so spread out. He made eye contact with Rivage and Vannery but was unable to see Sardine, who stood on the opposite side of the cornucopia.
Vannery caught sight of her district partner, as well as Sardine. She gave them a small wave, but made the mistake of looking to her left, where Perfecto (1) was sneering at her. Georges (N), on the other side, was just as intimidating. Instead, she looked straight ahead. As the countdown reached ten, she spotted a coil of rope on the outside of the cornucopia.
Delta had been pondering, unsure if it was worth entering the bloodbath. Alexandra, who happened to be just two podiums over, winked at him. She then pointed to the cornucopia. He understood. At that moment, the countdown reached zero. He sprinted to the center of the clearing, expecting her to follow, but she stayed on her podium.
On later replays, it was shown that Alexandra was winking at Angelo and not her district partner. As the boy from 2 sprinted forth to the cornucopia, the girl waited for a few seconds. She moved only when most of the other tributes were too occupied and grabbed a knife as well as a small bag of food. Angelo acted like he helped the other career tributes in order to pick up weapons and supplies, but as soon as they were occupied, he joined Alexandra. The pair was actually one of the first to leave the clearing, not counting Circuit (3) and the pair from 10 who had run away immediately.
When Vannery realized that she was running side to side with Perfecto (1), she immediately changed course and ran to Carton. She had to give up on the rope but managed to pick a water bottle off of the corpse of the boy from 9, who had just been stabbed by Glare (9).
If the career pack didn’t notice the disappearance of one of theirs, it wasn’t the case for Delta. When he saw his district partner escape with Angelo, he became enraged. He tried to exit the cornucopia. Fraxen then attacked him to try and steal his backpack. Delta threw him to the ground and punched him so hard it broke his neck. Now he had lost trace of Alexandra. As the fighting started to die down, he ran in a random direction.
Carton had dodged one of Glare’s knives and grabbed a bag of food and an unwieldy lance before Vannery and Rivage joined him. The trio heard Sardine scream from the other side of the cornucopia. Carton wanted to go and help her, but a second gargled wail convinced him that they couldn’t do anything else, especially since Proserpina (2) had now retrieved her axe from Sardine’s chest. As they left, they could hear the crunching of Ora’s neck (12) at the hands of Georges (N).
Meanwhile, Alexandra and Angelo were already far away, giggling at each other. It was only after Perfecto had stabbed Hattie (3) to death that the career pack noticed Angelo’s absence, but they didn’t seem bothered by it.
Delta was halfway to the perimeter when the five bloodbath cannons sounded. He was still seething, and the running helped him calm down. Eventually, he collapsed on the side of and old mossy tree, out of breath. Once he was a little better, he explored his surroundings. The big tree had a hole in his roots where Delta could fit, although it was a squeeze. He decided to stay there for now and used moss to hide himself. He also put some in his ears, which helped with his headache.
Carton, Rivage and Vannery had been running in the opposite direction. They wanted to put the most distance between themselves and the other tributes. They stopped long after the bloodbath cannons had sounded. They set up camp a few hundred feet away from the Northern part of the perimeter, next to a creek. Carton helped Rivage to take inventory. He had the lance, Rivage had gotten a trident, and between the three of them they had enough food to last two days at most. The bottle Vannery had taken was only half full, but the water of the creek was clear and drinkable.
The trio decided to stay put. Vannery and Carton would work on a shelter while Rivage fished for their dinner, as they had agreed to during training. In the early afternoon, they heard hurried footsteps coming their way. The boys readied their weapon, protecting Vannery between the two of us. Circuit (3) came running into their little encampment, which took him by surprise. He skidded to a halt and turned around as quickly as he’d arrived, leaving the trio dumbfounded.
Angelo and Alexandra had quite enough supplies to last a while. He held a sword in his hand and an “emergency axe” strapped to his back, while Alexandra held two knives. At first, they wanted to get away from the careers, but Alexandra eventually convinced Angelo to follow them from afar. They weren’t really hard to track, their bickering could be heard over the constant chatter of the birds. The noise also covered them. Proserpina, Glare and Perfecto were circling around the central clearing, slowly moving away from it. In the late afternoon, they discovered Forger (12) who was lying unconscious. He had received a deep wound during the bloodbath and was now at the mercy of the other tributes. Proserpina killed him.
The subsequent cannon surprised Vannery. She had climbed on top of a tree to get a view of the arena, and the sudden sound almost made her loose her grip. She didn’t fall, but while reaching her hand for a hold, she grabbed something warm and spherical. It crumbled and a viscous liquid dripped onto her finger. She looked up. She had inadvertently grabbed an egg from a nest. She was silent a moment, and a bright purple starling looked at her. “Oh no !” she whispered to herself. The bird screamed louder than she thought possible. Then it attacked.
All the birds in a radius of 50 feet coalesced into a multicolored tornado. Vannery fell to the ground, fortunately not hurting herself on the way down, and a feathery mass started clawing and pecking at her. They also attacked Carton and Rivage, who had been chilling at a distance. They batted the volatiles away, trying not to get scratched. Vannery managed to get up and run to the makeshift tent they had built. She picked up Carton’s lance and swung it, hitting some of the birds. She swung a second time and hit the metallic water bottle with a resounding CLANG! It seemed to stun the birds, but Vannery was too busy keeping them out of her face. Carton, however, noticed their reaction to the noise. He shouted loudly and flailed his arms : “Make noise ! They don’t like noise !”. Just his screaming was enough though. Eventually, the three tributes managed to drive the mutts out by hitting their weapons against rocks and the water bottle and screaming as loud as they could.
Delta also had an encounter with some angry birds. Those were red, with a long curvy beak and fearsome talons, but he managed to kill them all with a big branch he used as a bat. He then ate them, cooked over a small fire. Argus berated him for building a fire that could alert the other tributes to his location. However, the “Aviary Jungle” as it had been baptized by Urania Whimsiwick herself, was way too dense for anyone to see the smoke.
As the sun started to set, Delta squeezed himself back into his root hole, being careful to camouflage himself with moss. He held his branch in front of him just in case. An hour later, two cannons sounded in quick succession. They belonged to the pair from 10, who had had the great idea of making an omelet. The flock did not appreciate that…
When the sun started to set, Angelo suggested he and Alexandra find a place to sleep, preferably away from the career pack. She agreed, so they stopped following. They looked for a safe spot in the light of the dusk, eventually settling on the middle of a tight thicket. It was complicated to get inside, but the small space was comfortable, and the pair even had a view of the darkening sky. They ate some food then laid down, hand in hand. “Your district partner doesn’t seem to mind that you ditched her” joked Alexandra.
“I don’t think she cares. Maybe they believe I’m dead. But they’re not looking for us at least.”
“I think Delta is, though. You should have seen his face when he saw us. I almost feel bad about leading him on.”
“Don’t worry, we’ll get rid of him if he isn’t dead yet.”
“I’m sure he’s feeling the same thing”, responded Alexandra before going to sleep. Angelo kept the first watch.
In another section of the arena, Carton took the first watch. He had spent the remaining hours of daylight cleaning his wounds, along with Rivage and Vannery. The two of them slept, hoping to feel better the next day.
A little before midnight, Rivage awoke. He came to sit next to Carton, and the boys talked about their families, their school. Suddenly, a cannon sounded. It belonged to Ulma (7), who had stumbled upon Quinoa’s (9) camp by accident. The younger girl had not hesitated to stab a pointy branch in Ulma’s throat. This cannon prompted Carton to go to sleep, Rivage taking second watch.
At midnight, the hymn of Panem resounded in the arena and the portraits of the 9 fallen appeared in the sky : Hattie (3), Sardine (4), Fraxen and Ulma (7), the boy (9), both (10), Ora and Forger (12). This left 17 tributes after an eventful and interesting day.
Day 2:
Delta didn’t sleep much that night. The uncomfortable position coupled with a strong headache meant that he was up before the sunrise. As the first hints of blue appeared to the east, Delta got up. He needed to occupy his mind. The moss had stuck to his clothes, and he decided to take advantage of it. He caked his face and hands in mud and used it to stick more moss to his clothes. Urania commented that he looked like a green Orang-utang, which prompted laughter in the Capitol. Once he was fully camouflaged, he started roaming the arena. Stealthily at first, but as the sun rose and the birds started their cacophony as well, he allowed himself to move a little faster.
Alexandra and her district partner had spent a restful night. As she awoke, she was surprised to be cuddling with Angelo. Her rousing awakened him, and he turned around to look at her, puzzled. “I guess you’re the little spoon”, she joked. They ate cereal bars in awkward silence. Soon, the voices of the career pack walking in their direction prompted the pair to hide. Proserpina and Perfecto were loudly arguing about someone stealing their water bottles. Unbeknownst to them, it had been Glare who had hidden them in her own bag.
As they moved away from her, Alexandra suggested they follow the trio like the day before. Angelo thought it was a safe strategy as long as they kept their distances. They made their way out of the thorny thicket and followed. A few minutes later, a scream warned them that something was going on. It was Glare (1). She’d walked into a trap laid by Georges the day before and was now hanging upside down from a rope. Perfecto started to help her, but the stolen bottles fell from her bag, along with a few hidden knives and more food. Instead of killing her, as Perfecto wanted to do, Proserpina convinced him to leave her there. She screamed and screamed. Proserpina and Perfecto left her there wiggling. Before Alexandra and Angelo could arrive, the thin rope holding up Glare by the ankle snapped. She fell headfirst on the ground and her cannon sounded. Alexandra winced, but Angelo told her that it was better this way, since you could survive for many hours hanging this way. Then another cannon sounded.
Delta had been unsuccessful for a few hours. He had avoided a couple of poorly made traps and fought off a flock of tiny yellow canaries but had been unable to find another tribute. Eventually, he decided to change tactics. He found a path that clearly looked like it was in use and hid in proximity. His ambush eventually worked. Lavandine (11) walked past him, clutching a meagre stick in her pale hands. She didn’t even notice him getting up and following her, his branch raised. Many viewers thought it looked cartoonish, the tiny girl, followed by a big man with a club, not noticing anything. Glare’s cannon gave him the signal he expected, and he swung at her head. Lavandine flew and crashed into a patch of ferns. Her head was bloody, but she was still alive. Delta walked up to her in order to finish what he had started. The cameras cut to another group of tributes.
For the whole morning, Vannery, Rivage and Carton had been staying put. They foraged, fished, and built rudimentary spears just in case. Vannery climbed trees, very carefully in order not to disturb any more birds, so she could spot any tributes. Eventually she did, a little after midday. The pair from district 5 was heading their way. They were armed.
Vannery transmitted the information to the boys, who debated leaving or fighting. “Let’s fight !” said Vannery. There were 3 of them against 2, and they had weapons. Carton had his lance, Rivage his trident, and her… a spear and a rock would do the trick. So, they waited for what felt like a century. As soon as Borea and Zapp entered their field of vision, they attacked. The pair was surprised, but not enough to let themselves be killed that easily. Borea shouted at Zapp to run while she fended of Rivage’s trident with her sword. She had wrapped metal coil all around her arms, as she had seen on one of the older games. They clashed for an instant, enough time for her to disarm him, and then she ran too. On the way, she threw an egg she’d hidden in her pocket to the group. A flock of angry sparrows was the distraction the pair from 5 needed to escape.
Proserpina and Perfecto seemed to have made up a little and were now actively hunting. Still, they weren’t aware of the couple _ the “double A couple” as they were now called in the Capitol _ following them from afar. They dared not speak, but the looks they shared meant a lot more. They say love makes you blind, and maybe that’s why Alexandra didn’t see the orange and turquoise pheasant she walked on. It screamed and ran away, catching the attention of Proserpina. She turned around and shouted, “I knew it !” before charging at Angelo and her ally. Her first axe hit a tree a few inches above Alexandra’s head. She was hesitant to fight a career, but Angelo had already jumped into the fray and was now battling his district partner. So, she ran at Perfecto, who was lagging behind. He quickly turned around and sprinted when Proserpina’s cannon sounded. Angelo had managed to stab her in the gut. The look of betrayal was still printed on her face as the hovercraft claw took her away.
The pair was unsure if they needed to pursue the boy from 1, as Angelo assured that he was an “ego-inflated wimp” . Instead, they rifled through the bag Proserpina had dropped and decided to rest a little. They could have stayed there longer if it hadn’t been for the fire…
After getting rid of the birds, the trio decided to keep following Zapp and Borea (5) in order to get their supplies. Vannery managed to track them thanks to their footprints and the trail of broken branches. They found them quite quickly. Indeed, the gamemakers had decided to trigger a forest fire in order to move the tributes around a little. This explained why they had seen so many birds flying away. The pair from 5, however, had found themselves cornered on three sides by the flames, and the last side was where Carton and his allies arrived from.
Rivage thrusted his trident straight into Borea’s back, sounding her cannon. Carton’s lance, however, flew past Zapp and into the fiery inferno. The boy from 4 barely had the time to pick up his trident before a tree fell, smashing into the boy from 5 and sounding his cannon. As other trees started to creak and groan, Vannery led the boys back to the creek, where she believed the water would keep them safe.
Delta ran as soon as he smelled smoke. He ended up in a small clearing in the Southern part of the arena. As the grass quickly burned, he jumped into the flames. Many viewers gasped, thinking he had just killed himself, but he just ran a few seconds then stopped. Argus explained that the fire had been controlled in a way that it burned quickly and extinguished itself just as fast. From his spot of scorched earth, Delta was safe for now. From the sky descended a small silver parachute bearing the number 6. It contained a water bottle and some aspirin. Delta was the only one to use this strategy successfully. A few minutes after him, Circuit (3), who was shorter and weaker, tried. He fell face first into the fire and did not get up, his cannon sounding a few moments later.
Angelo and Alexandra were some of the closest to the central clearing, so it was after the three cannons that the fire reached them. They ran. Angelo was practically flying but the fire was catching up to Alexandra. Another tree cracked. It crashed onto the girl, pinning her legs to the ground. Thankfully, it was a much younger tree, and it did not cause her much more damage. For an instant, Alexandra thought the boy from 2 would just keep running. That he would be glad to get rid of yet another opponent. But he turned around. He used his axe as a lever, bending it in the process, to get the girl free. Then he picked her up onto his back and ran again. Angelo was not a very muscular tribute, but he proved to be quite a strong one.
Neither Carton, nor his allies had suffered any injury thanks to Vannery’s quick thinking. The creek was wide enough to protect them from the flames, and they avoided any falling branch. Quinoa (9) had had the same idea. She internally debated reaching the small group, but eventually decided not to. In the late afternoon, it started to rain, revealing that many of the trees and plants of the forest were actually fireproof. It was much sparser now, but the rain cleaned off the soot and, soon enough, the forest was green again.
Rivage, Vannery and Carton huddled together. They stayed that way for the whole evening, until Carton took the first watch while the other two went to sleep.
Delta was almost unharmed too, apart from a few minor burns on his ankles. The aspirin had taken effect, and for once in a long time, he felt totally clear headed. He hoped his district partner had died today.
The fire had changed the landscape quite a lot. What used to be a lush jungle was now less green. The ground was visible in most places, and the humidity levels had gone down. The sky was more visible. It also meant that the traps set by Georges and Odette (N) on the first day were either destroyed or very conspicuous. The boy from 6 avoided them all.
Delta found a pond where he cleaned himself from the soot and the half-charred moss. The fresh water also soothed his burns. He ended up settling close by, between two fallen trees.
Angelo and Alexandra, however, had suffered many burns. Fortunately, as they were setting camp and trying to remove their singed clothes, a silver parachute descended over them. It contained two containers of oil, as well as a blanket and a note from Angelo’s mentors, which he did not show to Alexandra. It would later be revealed that it scolded him for keeping his plan of betraying the career pack secret. The oil was perfumed and designed to almost instantly heal burns. It worked a charm. As the massaging continued, the two tributes started to get more and more steamy. They were intimate that night.
While they were busy, the portraits of the fallen appeared in the sky. The second day of the games had seen the loss of Glare (1), Proserpina (2), Circuit (3), Borea and Zapp (5), and Lavandine (11). This left only 11 tributes for the third day, with better odds now that a few strong tributes were gone.
Day 3:
On the morning of the third day, an announcement was made by Head Gamemaker Vishwa. She informed the tributes that a feast would be held at noon, three hours from now. The 11 surviving boys and girls would find supplies they desperately needed there. She then wished everyone a glorious day and the dampened sound of the birdsongs came back in full force.
The announcement awoke Delta, but he decided not to go to the Feast. He still had food and a source of water nearby, as well as his heavy branch. A real weapon would have been nice, but he didn’t feel safe going to the central clearing. Instead, he decided to just sleep more. He only woke up again when the first cannon sounded.
As for the couple, they were lost in bliss. Their show from the previous night had to be censored, although it was available for those who had enough “connections”. Let’s just say that it was quite memorable, and cemented Angelo and Alexandra’s place as favorites. They got ready after a long cuddling session, grabbing their bags and their weapons and heading to the cornucopia. They arrived with minutes to spare. Actually, they were the last tributes to arrive.
Vannery had been the first on site, scouting for other tributes. Once she had been sure the coast was clear, she had signaled to Rivage and Carton that they could come. They hid in the bushes nearby; this area having been spared from the fires. Little by little, other tributes started to arrive. Kumquat (11) hid behind a tree, Perfecto (1) stood in the open, Odette and Georges (N) huddled together.
As Quinoa (9) and the “Double A couple” finally arrived, the cornucopia started receding into the ground. It reappeared at once, and a bell rang.
Vannery stayed behind. She watched all the tributes run to the center where laid 8 numbered bags, including Carton and Rivage. The fighting raged in the cornucopia. Her allies attacked Alexandra and Angelo, as Kumquat escaped with his bag. Quinoa (9) almost got out, but Perfecto (1) caught her by the ponytail and stabbed her in the throat, sounding her cannon. He then picked up her bag in addition to his.
Alexandra and Angelo fought side to side, covering each other. She scared Odette (N) away, while he pushed back against Rivage. The boy from 4 tried to hit Alexandra again, but her ally caught the trident and almost tore it out of Rivage’s hands. Instead of trying again, he attacked Georges. The trident hit him in the back and sounded his cannon a few seconds later. Angelo took advantage of this distraction to slash at Carton with his sword, causing the boy from 8 to bleed out.
Vannery screamed and ran out of her hiding place, almost colliding with Odette (N) on the way. Rivage grabbed the district 4 and district 8 bags in one hand, and Vannery’s arm in the other, and they ran away together. The young girl cried and struggled to keep up the pace. She wanted to go back, but Carton’s cannon sounded, ruining her hopes.
Angelo and Alexandra were the last tributes to get their bags. One of Perfecto’s knives punctured Alexandra’s. The pair turned back, giving Kumquat (11) enough time to flee. They chased Perfecto into the woods. He was quick, however, and they had a hard time gaining on him.
The following hours were very quiet, boring, even, so Urania and Argus invited a few guests to discuss the bloodbath and the tributes’ different strategies. It was only in the late afternoon that Delta deigned getting up. He was well rested. He ate what remained of his food and started camouflaging himself once again in order to hunt. The tributes were now very spread out, however, and it appeared that Delta was in an area devoid of them. He walked until it got too dark to continue, before letting out a scream of rage. His sudden outburst scared some resting birds. They flew away and hit Kumquat (11) square in the face as he was in the process of climbing up one of the taller trees. The surprise caused him to lose his grip and he fell to his death a few feet away from Delta, his Feast bag laying next to him. Suddenly, Delta laughed and thanked the birds. He emptied the contents of the bag, glad to find some fresh food and water. He settled right there for the night.
Angelo and Alexandra eventually gave up on hunting Perfecto. Every time they thought they heard him; it turned out to be another bird. He was nowhere to be found. The pair settled down near a creek, right where Carton and his allies had camped earlier, in order to clean themselves. It was another spectacle to behold. The couple played in the fresh water, wearing only their underwear, and at one point, Alexandra winked at one of the cameras. This resulted in the appearance of a sponsor gift a few seconds later. She caught it and opened it discreetly once she was dressed again. She checked that Angelo was busy with the campfire before peeking inside. There was a water bottle and a tiny, sheathed stiletto knife, about two inches long. There was also a note that said : “You will only get one chance” – S. She acted nonchalant, thanked her sponsor for the water, and hid the knife in her sock. She took the first watch, jumping when a cannon sounded.
Since they had come back from the Feast, Vannery felt that Rivage was acting strange. He kept pacing and muttering to himself and seemed unhappy even though they had received enough supplies to last five more days in the arena at least. They found another place to sleep, Vannery built a new shelter. As she was about to go to sleep, Rivage approached her, trident in hand. He didn’t speak, so she asked him what he wanted. “I’m sorr-“ he started. Vannery interrupted him : “Behind you !”.
He spun around and threw his trident. It caught Perfecto in the head, sounding his cannon before he had hit the ground. He had been sneaking up behind Rivage with a knife in both hands, but Vannery had a keen eye. Rivage seemed to deflate. He cleaned up his weapon and went to sleep. Vannery tried to ask him what he wanted to tell her, but he didn’t answer. Instead, she took the first watch.
At midnight, five portraits appeared in the sky : Perfecto (1), Carton (8), Quinoa (9), Kumquat (11) and Georges (N). The six remaining tributes were spread out around the arena : Rivage and Vannery to the East, Angelo and Alexandra to the North, Odette (N) in the South and Delta to the West.
Day 4:
The sound of a cannon startled Delta out of his slumber. He was feeling well rested and decided to head to the cornucopia with just his branch and a knife he had taken from Kumquat. With only 5 remaining tributes, he knew that the showdown was about to take place and was about as excited as the viewers in the Capitol for it to happen. On the way, he stumbled upon a suspicious mound of leaves. He almost let it be, until he saw two feet poking out of it. As he bent down to look at it, a sharp pain entered his shoulder blade. By pure reflex, he swung his club backwards, hitting a barefoot Odette (N) in the forehead. She stumbled backwards, clutching her knife, and tripped on a rock. Delta jumped onto her, planting his knee in her stomach, and stabbed her with her own knife. He added it to his “collection”.
The atmosphere between Alexandra and Angelo had been quite tense since they’d woken up. They hadn’t slept so well. When the first cannon sounded, they set out to get to the cornucopia, and by the time the second cannon echoed throughout the arena, they were in position. “We’ll fight together, right ?” asked Alexandra. Angelo nodded solemnly : “Until there’s no one else. I’m so glad I got to meet you.”
“Me too… Too bad one of us will have to die.”
As she said those words, a twig cracked in a nearby bush.
The first cannon had shocked the viewers quite a bit. As Rivage finished his watch, he looked at Vannery, asleep next to him. He murmured “I’m sorry”, so low that it had to be subtitled. Then he plunged his trident in her throat. Before leaving, Rivage let out the longest sigh of relief.
Alexandra climbed onto the cornucopia, hiding herself, a length of rope held tight between her hands. She waited as Rivage entered the clearing. He was focused on Angelo. Delta appeared a few seconds later, on the other side of the cornucopia. He walked under it, oblivious to the girl awaiting him. As Angelo charged Rivage with his sword, Alexandra lowered the rope. Delta let out a choked growl as she pulled. He was much stronger, however. With one labored step, he yanked her off the roof. The rope was still around his neck, but his hands were now around Alexandra’s. Nevertheless, she held on to the rope, using it to hold him at bay. Just before she fell unconscious, she kicked him in the groin. She let out a few coughs, before grabbing the two ends of the rope again and pulling Delta against one of the steel columns of the cornucopia. Delta tried to stab her, but she was behind him, and he was quickly loosing consciousness. With one last brutal pull, the rope crushed his windpipe.
Alexandra watched Angelo dispose of Rivage with one final feint of his sword, and his cannon sounded at the same time as Delta’s.
Silence fell on the clearing. Even the birds had shut up. The couple was breathing heavily. They hugged tight. Something glinted in Alexandra’s hand. She almost reached Angelo’s neck when he gripped her wrist. He smiled, but his eyes were full of sorrow. “I had to try at least !” she half-laughed, half-whimpered. He sat her down and hugged her once again. She told him that he deserved to win. That he was a good man. He took his swords and gently stabbed Alexandra in the heart. She barely cried as he looked into her eyes. A cannon sounded. The last one. Jahani Vishwa announced Angelo Clearfell, of district 2, as the victor of the 119th Hunger Games. He had to be forcefully removed form Alexandra’s corpse in order to be retrieved.
Aftermath:
The games took an immense toll on Angelo, who was unable to speak for more than a month. Even when he had gotten the use of his words back, he fell into a lengthy depression. His interview with Urania Whimsiwick and Argus Brown had to be cut short as soon as they mentioned Alexandra.
After that, he remained alone in his home of the Victor’s village. He received no guests and did not act as a mentor the following years. The other victors of his district described him as “disillusioned” and “a killjoy”. The situation stayed the same until his disappearance two years later.

I watched a YouTube video recently where Fripp was doing an interview and audience Q&A with David Singleton. (This is the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3XGv2xJ9t0.) Someone in the audience asked what were the best live performances that he can recall. Fripp said:

1. Central Park - July 1, 1974 - Final performance of that incarnation of the band. In particular, he loves the performance of "Starless" at that gig. May have said it was the best performance... not sure.
2. The Savoy, NYC - 1918 - He said the 1st and 2nd performances on the 1st night, 3rd and 4th shows on the 2nd night were "astonishing". (Then, on the 5th and 6th shows on the 3rd night, Bruford did too much and ruined it - not an uncommon complaint about Bill, that we've heard from Genesis and Yes as well)
3. The Washington show at the end of the COVID Tour
4. Rock in Rio was special too.

Anyone know where I might find video or audio of these shows? I did a bit of searching on YouTube, but couldn't find anything.
