Hello from my underground election fallout shelter! Ok, I kid, I kid, I don't have a fallout shelter, but I am still alive!

Edit: Oh my gosh, Eddie thinks Victor's a girl! LOL!!! XD I guess that's to be expected when your hair looks so great!

I have to say, I am very pleased to see some of the conversations going on here on the forum! I personally believe that one of the main reasons things here in America has gotten so bad is because people don't want to talk to each other. Because people can now pick their news sources from social media, people tend to choose websites that agree with their views. This causes an echo chamber and makes the opposing side look like a bunch of idiots. So when people encounter each other IRL, things get intense. This is why no matter how left or right you are, I'm not going to delete anyone's comments. I prefer discussing things in a healthy manner over rioting and shouting over each other.

So keep those conversations going! Hopefully, people in and outside of the USA will be able to understand what happened, what it means, what may or may not happen, and overall just help people figure things out. I'll be happy to throw in my two cents to anyone who asks, even though the conversation I had with Miss. Sabrina wasn't the best; but, I am in a time zone 5 hours ahead of her, so my brain was powering down for the night.

Remember, be respectful to EVERYONE, and broaden your perspective on these issues!

If I may get politically sidetracked for a moment? I know probably most of you are from the USA, and now that the dust has had a bit of time to settle: Are you people going to be alright? I hear that there has been a lot if rioting and people being harassed and stuff.

The stories are, unfortunately, true: a cousin of mine went to a protest turned violent just two nights ago. Things are getting really, really crazy.

I have no idea if we'll be alright, honestly.

The one saving grace here is that the Senate has to have 60 votes to pass any legislation. There will be 52 Republicans and 2 senators who belong to neither major party. Even if those 2 vote with the Republicans, that's only 54 votes (6 votes short of the necessary 60). And if a bill doesn't pass the Senate, it can't be sent on to be signed into law by the President. We're insanely lucky our founders made the system as clunky as it is.

(I don't quite understand that myself. How do you mean, there will be 52 Republicans? I thought there were hundreds of Senators and th Republicans had a majority. I get the general idea, I've heard other people say things to that effect, but I don't know what the 52 refers to.)

Jekyll1886  Wizardblizzard • 3 years ago

Okay, right, sorry. So, there are 100 Senators total in the U.S. Senate, two per state (50x2=100). (There are also 435 Representatives in our House of Representatives, but they're not related to my point.) Within the Senate, this election, 52 Republicans have been elected. So have 46 Democrats, as well as 2 Senators who belong to neither the Republican nor the Democratic party.

In order for a proposed bill to become a law, it must be approved by both the House of Representatives and the Senate, then signed into law by the President. In order for said hypothetical bill to have Senate approval, 60 Senators must vote in favor of it. While this means the Democrats are unlikely to get anything passed, it also means the Republicans are unlikely to, either; even if the 2 independent Senators sided with the Republicans, that would only be 54 votes, falling 6 short of the requisite 60. In other words, the Republicans won't be able to pass legislation without courting the Democrats at least a little.

(Ahh, I see. I'd had it in my head that the Senate had more members than that, I must have been thinking of the House of Representatives. I see now. I didn't know about that situation, that's food for thought.

We've all had to become experts on parliamentary puzzles like that over here in the last few years; last time it was a "hung parliament" i.e. nobody had an overall majority and the Conservatives had to join forces with the Liberal party (Who have never recovered from what it did to their reputation. I'm glad to say.) And this time the Conservatives managed to get an overall majority, but it was only by about a dozen, out of 600 MPs - meaning that if they want to pass anything, they have to persuade pretty much every single one of their MPs to vote for it, or else get the opposition to join them. Even if a few of their MPs happen to be off sick that could be enough to lose them the vote! So that's led to a lot of undignified scrabbling from the leadership, because the Conservatives disagree so violently and on so many things that they make your Republicans look united, and somehow they have to persuade/threaten/bribe them all to vote together.)

Many people are upset not only because they didn't vote for Trump and are frightened they'll be persecuted during his term, but because Trump is the president-elect even though Clinton won the popular vote. (The electoral college is weird.)

There's actually a petition going around to ask the electors to vote according to the popular vote within their state instead of going by tradition and handing all a state's votes to the overall winner; they don't actually vote until December 19. (For example, Kentucky has 8 electoral votes. Trump got 62.5% of our popular vote, which would be 5 electoral votes if this weren't a winner-take-all system.)

I don't expect the electoral college will actually do this, but this is the fourth time in America's history that a candidate has lost the popular vote but won the electoral vote, and many people are not happy about it. Conversely, many other people are telling those people to accept that their candidate lost and move on.

We have freedom of speech, but emotions are running high on both sides. Even in towns without protests or riots, folks are having to watch what they say/around whom they say it simply out of concern for their own safety. It's sad.

I know not all Trump supporters are racists, but there sure are a lot of bigots coming out of the woodwork right now! Some middle school kids were chanting, "Build a wall! Build a wall!" A predominantly black church got spray-painted with "Black lives don't matter" and "Your vote doesn't matter." A young Muslim woman in hijab got mugged by several white guys who took her purse and her keys and stole her car. In Pennsylvania, someone spray-painted "Make America White Again," along with a swastika, in a prominent public place. The list goes on...

(What total prats. Very sorry to hear that.

Similar things have been happening in this country after the vote to leave the EU. It's not that that actually makes any direct difference to things, but what it did do was make all the racists think (wrongly - most people seem to have voted for other reasons) that loads of people agree with them, so they suddenly think they can get away with anything. My dad was saying yesterday that he was worried that the same would happen in America inspired by Trump getting elected - very sad to see that that was right. I hope you all manage to get the idiots under control before too much more damage can be done.)

There have been a ton of protests going on in my town but nothing violent that I've heard of. I actually joined on of the protests for a while, I think we'll be okay but there's a ton of unity things going on at my school to try and bring the kids back together. (Also the teachers have been talking about "talking about the election with the students" because some students feel threatened.) I think we're going to be okay but I've got back up plans encase if things turn out badly.

* Velius smiled and closed his eyes. he needed to meditate, and he can do it now that Matt is away and there's nothing to worry about. he meditated and lost the sense of time. he opened his eyes and went to the bathroom, but he couldn't enter. the door was closed..*

(Velius will not enter if Matt is inside, that would be impolite)

hmm, because after killing him you came to the room that i and John were! you didn't took care of the body and now he's still here, what do we do with the body? *Velius asked confused* [so.. he was doing this while i and John were in his room...]

and answering to the questions, first i don't think that Michael died. second: i.. uh.. saw John while you were asleep. he told me that he defeated Michael and made him bled. i made him go to the Society, and if someone asks, he'll told them that i went to walk, and third, i guess it's day? i don't know!

alright, but i'll have to bring John here. he'll say to you if Michael said something. meanwhile i'm gone eat something! *Velius disappeared in a blink and went to the Society. he checked in the room that he and John share... he didn't found him. Velius turned himself invisible and searched John around all the Society, when he found him, he told to John that he needed to go to Matt's apartment right now. John nodded and the both two were teletransported to Matt's apartment*

now, John, tell him what told you during your fight with Michael.

he only t-told me that when Matt hitted us with the s-stick Michael was c-controlling him! n-nothing else!

alright.. Matt, do you wanna ask him something before he leaves? when he leaves, i'll tell you if you said some idiocy yesterday, because it's long to say.

now, i have to tell you right? if i have to tell you everything i'll try to short it. before falling unconscious due Michael stabbed you, you told me that you didn't wanted me to leave, and i agreed to never leave you alone, all the other things were almost similar.. and sometimes you were doing some embarrassing things.. like.. when I began cherishing you.. you liked it and i also did *Velius smiled. he was a little embarrassed*

Gay Marriage: Okay! I do have a question though, if you're not following values or beliefs what are you using to explain it then? I did some googling aobut Amazonian women and it looks to be the archenemies of the ancient Greeks in stories and not actual Brazilian women or indigenous population of Brazil. Thank you Geeks. :\ *sarcasm*

Will do but I probably won't have an answer until later today or tomorrow.

Natural Disasters: We do have a lot of Natural disasters and they're different in every area but we've just learned to live around them and we've adjusted our cities as such. Examples: In the midwest we have tons of tornadoes so most of our houses have basements and shelters. In Florida houses have flood insurance, are built farther from the coast, and some even are built on stilts or are floating homes. In California with earthquakes all the buildings are constructed to withstand many Earthquakes but occasionally a big one will hit and destroy a lot of the city. We've also developed many early warning systems that are constantly being monitored as to warn people of an up coming disasters (like the hurricane that just hit), now its up to people on what they do.

Predominant Climate: This varies all over the county. In the south it's generally warmer (they really don't have a winter the farther south you go). Some places in the south are humid and hot while others are dry and hot. Up north it gets colder and the farther you go the colder it gets. There's snow in the winter that can be miles high to the point where you have to shovel it off your roof or else it'll cave in. Are you wondering about any specific region?

Fast food: OH BOY! So America does have a TON of fast food but that's because it's cheap and easy. There's a lot of motion and it's easier for a lot of people to just eat it on the go. America really doesn't have any traditional food (unless you count funnel cakes and burgers) what we usually do is "steal" food from other countries and "Americanize" it. I prefer traditional as prepared by how their countries would originally prepare them instead of whatever the hell america does to violate it. For example we took tacos and made Taco Bell. But with all these different cultural influences (and if you know where to look) you can find a huge variety of traditional food! For example my town has Taquerias, Japanese BBQ, traditional Turkey food, creeps, Thai, Indian, Italian,etc. It's really up to the consumer what they want to eat.

So I asked around about the rivalry and no one here seems to know about it. Maybe people on your end could give you more details as to the rivalry?

Flooding can be a problem for any person that lives near water. I do hope my response was a good enough "mini lesson" for you and if you have any questions about anything feel free to ask! (You're not really missing much with the snow. It's just cold and wet and you can build things from it. I found this neat snow like substitute where you take a baby diaper, cut it up, place it into a sealed bag, and shake it. You'll then get a bunch of tiny white crystals that when you add water to it creates a snow like substance. [you can probably find better tutorials online]).

I think our country has every type of food but not every city has it. I know for German food we have to drive to another town that's about an hour away. I'm also not sure if we have Canadian, Norwegian, and African food in town too...but I really like Norwegian and African cuisine and unfortunately I haven't had enough Canadian food to give an opinion on it. What about the cuisine in Brazil? What's your favorite type of food? Do you cook?

Rivalry: Thank you! And let me know what you find! :)

Snow: XD I'm glad my weird science knowledge is helpful! Also I found this great video which can show you how to do it if my explanation is a bit weird.

Food: That all sounds delicious!!! My mouth is watering from just reading about it! If it would be okay with you I would like to know your recipe so I could make that wonderful sounding dish sometime! I also love authentic Mexican food but I also have an appreciation for the many other flavors and cuisine out there such as beef wellington, stir fry, sushi, fish and chips, and basically anything with rice and/or really good cheese (not that processed cheese food >:P ). I do some cooking but my father is the real chief of the house hold as he makes all of our dinners. When I do cook it's a bit like mad science. There's a 25% chance it'll be the best thing you've ever tasted, a 50% chance it'll be okay but nothing to write home about, and a 25% it'll explode. I don't like it when my food explodes. XP Over time I've mastered the processes of making rice pudding, Ecuadorian Ice cream (I can't remember the official name), pancakes, eggs, and Chinese styled noodle soups.

I'm happy you like this! XD

My father is a chef. He doesn't make really fancy food (unless it's a holiday) because he's also taking care of the house and my little brother so he doesn't have a lot of time. He often goes to the store, sees what's on sale, and then makes a delicious meal from it! :)

I have had Liquid Nitrogen ice cream before and it was very tasty! If you learn how to use Liquid Nitrogen, have proper safety procedures in place, and respect it then go for it! :)

As for pudding here's the recipe I use for tapioca: http://www.kraftrecipes.com...

If you want to make it HJ Rice pudding then instead of Tapioca pearls use 1/2 of cup of rice and a few dashes of cinnamon. The important thing to remember is you cannot stop string or the milk will burn. You can make it thicker or thinner depending on how long you cook it and how condensed it becomes. I recommend topping it with a fruit and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

At least, that's where the blow would have landed, had Lewis not lowered his head at the last second to take it squarely on the forehead, just at and above the ridge of the brow. It still hurt like the Dickens, the force enough to snap his head up, but he went with it, intentionally staggering back a step. As the recoil played itself out, he looked briefly stunned. Then he shook his head, popped his neck, and adjusted one shoulder with an audible crack. He exhaled, casting his gaze to Alice.

"Impressive." He seemed oddly pleased. "Feel better?"

((By the way, I love her reaction!))

(Well...there's two options she could do a flying punch where she jumps into it and either has her velocity behind her upper cut or she comes down with the gravitational acceleration [though it would be very short I'm assuming she can jump at least a foot in the air], she could also just jump up to his height and then thrust her arm out at a 90 degree angle but it wouldn't have as much force as the other two. She could just do a uppercut him. Hold on ....ok so I think I've got it. She would have to take one step and then lean into it using her body weight behind it. Her fist would be able to hit his nose but it would be at a 30 to 45 degree angle. Assuming she's punching properly, you would have her entire body weight behind it (moving at a constant without try to pull back at the last second out of fear [cause right now she's too angry at fear to be scared] and she has the average punching speed of 25 miles per hour) along with that one step/slight lunge velocity.

...So I did some quick physics calculations to get an estimate of how many Joules of force and it looks like she's punching with 252 Joules of force (or 252 Newtons [which is like being able to lift 25.7kg or 60 lbs on earth]) at a 45 degree angle. So she's punching vertically with a force of roughly 178 Joules (or 178 Newtons [which is like being able to lift 39 lbs or 18kg] and horizontally with the same force. Now this is all assuming she's making a 45 degree angle with his face, her inital speed from the step was .1 m/s and she's punching with a final velocity of 11.2 m/s. This would then give you the change in kinetic energy from the start to final bit. So after looking at my math again I would need to add these together instead of subtract to find the total kinetic energy. Thus she's punching with 257 Joules (about) [ 275 N which is like being able to lift 28 kg or 62 lbs] with a vertical and horizontal force of 182 Joules [182N which is like being able to life 19kg or 42lbs].)

"Goodness me, and here I've been 'playing nice'..." he said in mock shock. "Am I really so very threatening to your precious worldview? Tell me, would it be so terrible to acknowledge the truth? Would you curl up and die if you couldn't cling to your petty illusions? Is that why you feel you must paint me as the villain in all this?"

That's exactly it! *She hissed at him without a hint of sarcasm in her voice. Her eyes locked with his, deadly serious.* Allison is dead--! *She shook her head an corrected herself, spitting out the words as though they were acid.* --Dying! And it's all my fault, and your wretched mirror is only reminding me of this fact! I should just "curl up and die" for what I've done but Catt made it very clear that isn't an option! She taught me to "cling" onto false hope, or these "petty illusions" as you call it, so I do! Without them I would have destroyed myself many times over by now! So forgive me if I paint you the villain, or don't, as I don't bloody care! But as of now, you are placing Catt, Mz. Hyde, Jasper, the entire Society in danger by bringing those men into their lives! I've already lost half of myself to them and I rather not let anyone else go through that! *As Alice talked she had pulled out her scarf, top hat, and goggles and was dressing herself in them.* As of now, if I see you anywhere near the Society I will gut you like a swine! *She was now fully obscured by her attire and it was hard to tell a girl lay under that clothing at all. Alice began backing up towards the door never directing her attention away from Lewis.*

(Also the reason she wears the suit, hat, scarf, etc. is to conceal herself from the SFM which have just made a reappearance in her life. Also I am curious as to what the SFM want with Lewis and why he's covered in blood but Alice doesn't care so she DOESN'T ASK THESE IMPORTANT PLOT QUESTIONS!! *grumble grumble*)

((Oh my gosh I am loving this RP! And, btw, that door has been locked with a key which is currently nowhere to be seen, though Alice may've forgotten that in the heat of the moment.))

Despite its volume, Alice's tirade provoked in Lewis not anger nor mockery but understanding and a hint of pity. He ignored her threat and focused instead on what she'd said about Catt.

"She's right, you know...your friend," he said softly, just above a whisper. He took a seat on the chair.

Why does Alice have so much trouble escaping Lewis through locked doors?! X'D Also I forgot about it and she most definitely forgot about it with the whirlwind of emotions that's been going on. ...Well Lewis may need a new door soon...or window.)

* Alice stopped her retreat to the door.* Of course Catt's right! She's Brilliant and I'm lucky to have a friend as remarkable as her!

* Her head dropped to the ground for a second as she muttered something under her breath.* ...I only wish she could say the same about me.

* But this only lasted a second before it snapped up again and she continued her tirade.* Which is why I don't want you bringing your shit any where near her, near any of them.

* She stood there speechless while her mind raced. Alice was not afraid of dying...she wanted to die! And of course she wanted Allison to come back! She wanted Allison to return and make everything better...Like a mother kissing a scrape on her child. For Allison to come in and scare all the monsters away that hid in her closet, to tuck her in at night with the promise that she'll be there in the morning with a hot breakfast waiting, to promise never to leave her side again, to promise her that there will be a tomorrow, to promise her that everything was going to be okay, to promise her love, to promise her safety, to promise her a future worth living in! God! She wanted Allison to come back! If Allison couldn't come back then what was the purpose of living? But if she could come back...for good...and Alice could hug her, show her all the friends she has made, the good she has done, to ask for her approval--her forgiveness.... But this was Allison's life, her body, and Alice was just watching over it...then what's the point of Alice living?

A tear pooled in her goggle searching for a way out behind her mask. Alice hated feeling helpless, worthless, powerless and that hate turned to smoldering rage. A rage against Lewis trying to fix something that was destroyed,a rage against the Silver Feather Men for destroying her life, a rage at herself for being so weak, and a rage against locked doors. The last one she took her anger out on.

She turned around slamming her fists into the door letting out a muffled sob that she tried to conceal through language.* Damn it!

* Isabella seems to have gathered her thoughts a little although she still keeps a suspicious eye on the blue hand, which, of course, didn't need it as it already had a suspicious eye.*

The first thing that comes to mind is I'd like to know where the laboratories are; is there somewhere that I could use if I want to try something out in the chemistry line? Not right now, of course, I don't mean! But it will be wonderful to actually have access to a proper lab. There's only so much you can do by yourself. *thinks: especially if you don't want to get turfed out of your lodgings.* Besides that, where else is there you think I should know?

(ATasteForVintages On song choice.

My singing teacher said I was a soprano, so a PotO song might be possible without making ears bleed. [I had been considering "Think of Me" from the start of the musical.] Though, Catt isn't really a performer, so after some heavy persuasion [coughMz.Hyde I need you on that cough] she'd probably sing Land Of The Silver Birch. [Because Canadian]

Would it be too much if Catt sang her small song and then I as the Narrator sang my own song? I don't want to overstep my part.)

I'm not super knowledgable in Opera, but what I gather is that there are different Soprano Fachs and each one has an expected range. Coloraturas are the ones who sing whistle notes and are renowned for their vocal flexibility ( Mariah Carey is one ). Mezzos are still considered Sopranos but are classed separately because they can't reach C6- a requirement to be considered a Soprano fach.

I haven't heard you and I don't know what background your teacher has, so I can't say they'd know what kind of Soprano you are.

My concern regarding- especially Christine's- repertoire is not the quality of the sound, but the safety of your vocal folds. Picking music outside of your range can be dangerous and may lead to permanent damage. For instance, I consider myself a Light Lyric Soprano ( although Soubrette is probably more appropriate given the developmental state of my voice. ) I can sing F3- C6 comfortably with open vowels becoming husky around G5. While I can occasionally strain for an E6 and stretch to reach it in my warmups, the title song "Phantom of the Opera" is not a song I can comfortably sing all the way through because of it. This was my concern for you as well.

Andrew Lloyd Webber wrote this musical for his then-wife Sarah Brightman, who is a classically trained Soprano capable of Coloratura runs. I would exercise great caution choosing songs written for her.

If you ARE a Coloratura, however, then know that you are extremely lucky and I am i n s a n e l y jealous of you.

I wasn't expecting Narrators to participate because it's largely a plot point and they are portrayed as supernatural disembodied voices, but you can sing your own song if you can work your way into the story :)

(( *Raises hand quietly* I'm a Coloratura, I believe. I can sing the entire vocal range of the Phantom and Christine comfortably, provided I've had time to warm up. I can usually get a few notes higher or lower too, depending on the day.

Not that I know the specifics of my vocal range or anything, I just read this and had a little "!! That's me!" moment.

... Although that also depends on development. If your folds are younger than 25 then you're actually a Coloratura Soubrette. Range can go anywhere from the Soubrette stage. Some blossom into Coloratura Sopranos and some shift into one of the other Soprano Fachs. I know a Tenor who is around 70 though and her voice is every bit as light and lyrical as the younger Tenors, so it is 100% possible for you to keep your voice throughout your whole life. Keep doing warm-ups even if you don't have a performance. That will ensure that you maintain your totally unfair amazing range!

Given that I have anywhere between 3 and 7 rehearsals in a week, with many concerts aside spread between the three choirs I'm in, I don't think I'll have to worry about keeping up with warmups XD

So technically I'm a Coloratura Soubrette, then, though I do hope I can keep my voice. If anything, I'd be all right with my bottom range filling out a bit more, but I'm quite fond of it, eheh.

As I'm so fond of saying, music is my life, even if my mother is convinced I shouldn't live it. The metaphorical life, that is. Literally, I think most people want me to live XD

If you're not destined to become a Coloratura Soprano, it will be obvious. You'll feel notes dropping off your range and maybe start noticing difficulties accessing them. If you continue to stretch your folds by exercising your whistle notes, you should be fine.

I am insanely envious. I'm currently having trouble not being flat just within the alto range, that's how out of practice I am! [Also, my laptop died and ate the few recordings I had done which sounded okay. :( ]

Oh no! And yeah, your voice is a muscle you need to exercise to keep in touch with. Warm-ups are your friend!

... On the subject of music, I just remembered I have a concert tomorrow I have to get up at 4:00 am to catch the bus for.

Well. Good thing I wasn't planning on sleeping anyways.

... Wait, singing Christine and the Phantom's vocal range isn't common? Not to sound rude, but I know many, many people, myself included, who can sing it with incredible comfort and ease. I can go a good few notes higher than Christine, and lower than the Phantom, as well...

Erik's range is a fairly simple and most of Christine's songs are safe, but I'm primarily talking about the scales at the end of the title song here since they especially slide up to an E6, which is considered a whistle note and is INCREDIBLY difficult for most people to hit. If you guys can all sing in whistle range, then you are all also extremely talented.

Just for the next few days, the testing schedule has thinned out, and I have a spot of free time -- and if you'd like to, we can do that RP with Artemis and Alice? Also, I'm kind of kicking a plan into motion. ))

(( Yeee! ))

Elias had been gone for eleven days now, with no end in sight to his absence. It was more than concerning; it was terrifying in its implications. Artemis couldn't stop his mind from entertaining itself by wandering into every possible direction, through every conceivable scenario. The imagery that ensued twisted his stomach.

Distraction, he thought.It'd do me well to stretch my legs.

With no pause to allow his thoughts to emerge with worse ideas, he headed down for the kitchen. No sooner had he returned to his room, where the door was --

... He'd closed the door, hadn't he? Or was he just noticing things on account of his missing brother?

With a huff, Artemis slid it closed behind him and tossed himself onto his bed, to which it let out a groan. His gaze fixed onto the ceiling as he fought the hollow feeling in his stomach, and his eyes flitted across the room. It'd been mainly untouched; especially Elias' area, as he awaited his return with a strict order to let his things be.

He sat upright, shoulders drawing into themselves tightly. He rushed to Elias' bed, and he felt his heartbeat rise into his throat. There, rested albeit hastily on a pillow, was a parchment. Elias' normally eloquent script had been rushed, loops and sweeps abandoned in favor of scrawling letters.

I'll be around eventually. - Eli

His breath hitched. It was supposed to be reassuring, right? That was how he was supposed to interpret this.

But it... wasn't. It seemed so out of place. Why expend the effort to get it here and not face me? He took it in his hands with a strange gentleness, loathe to hurt it somehow.

Artemis decided that perhaps poking about would be the wisest move, given the situation. He started at the first name that surfaced in his mind, and who was also, thankfully, watchful of Elias already (though perhaps not for a good reason).

He knocked on Alice's door, and it was all he could do to halt his fidgeting. Even then, he only half-succeeded.

(Poor Arty! DX )

* The door creaked open to reveal a small disheveled girl. Alice, to put it politely, looked like a mess. Her eyes were red and held dark rings beneath them and her features exuded exhaustion. If Arty had thought her informal appearance, that she normal held, couldn't get worse then he was wrong. Alice's feet were bare ,her pants legs pooled around her ankles, shirt was un-tucked and wrinkled appearing to be more a dress than a dress shirt, and all other accessories (the gloves, hat, scarf, goggles) had been thrown into a large pile next to her satchel on the desk. But what was the oddest of all was her hair, as it was not put up in it's iconic pony tail but instead hung loosely around her like a shawl. It spilled over her shoulders and down to her ribs, and the shorter, wild strands that normally framed her face seem to intertwined themselves into the longer locks forcing them to double in volume and chaos.*

Artemis? *She seemed to ask, unsure of what was dream and what was reality.*

Artemis is, almost comfortingly, an equal mess. Sharing in the down hair and sleepless appearance, he lets out a small, hollow chuckle. "Would you like it if I came back later?" His fist tightens around the paper in hand. I've no time for this.

If he does love you, then he would never want to see you hurting like this. I think that's what the note is for, to calm your fears... *Her voice trails off into a slight, half hearted chuckle.*
