So, I had been throwing myself against a wall on the Third DLC boss for a bit and I found some mods from this thread:
https://www.reddit.com/PokemonXenoverseGuide/comments/n9s1q0/does_anyone_have_the_link_to_the_files_of_the/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
Cause I needed to change some nature's and Abilities on my pokemon so I grabbed the one in the thread that adds NPCs to the game in Ishtar City too do that. So, with that and some other work I managed to finally beat DLC3 boss, knowing I probably needed the more updated map I swapped to that map since I kept the original file and went to the Pokemon center and talked with the guy to get her to show up, but going to the spot where she should be is empty and the NPCs added from the modded map are still there, anyway I can salvage this one of you fine folks might know?

Hello there, I am your average, overworked and overly career focused professional living in Kansas City. I am white, fit, successful and allegedly well endowed. I have found myself plagued by a feeling of insatiability that I would love to find someone to help with, someone to help make the loneliness of the city a bit more bearable. Open to one time or a FWB situation. A few of my hobbies are below and I do own my home to host.
Woodworking, primarily furniture making.
Ballroom dancing
Working out 5-6 days a week.
Technology and PC gaming.
DnD
Reading primarily philosophy.
Volunteering.
As for kinks I am kink friendly but pretty plain as far as what I like. I am looking forward to hearing from you and I am happy to exchange pics early on once we make a connection. DM or IM if interested.

Hello! I don't have much experience with creating props or sewing (did some body paint and low-cost stuff before), but I'm more than willing to learn and can follow online guides as best as anybody.
My question is about practicality of a cosplay idea I had - making a Slender Man. If anyone has some tips regarding the points below, I would love to hear them out:

1. I want to create some stilts from wood, about 1 meter in length (3.2 feet). Creating them and learning to walk on them sounds do-able, my main question is what would be the best way to have the ends look like actual shoes, not just platforms or skinny poles. I was thinking of making the ends of the stilts screw into these things and then using a strong adhesive to stick some thrift store shoes on. Anyone with stilt-making experience, insight on feasibility?
2. Can you lengthen the arms and legs of a black suit in a believable way? (considering a thrift store purchase, as I would rather not ruin a pricy suit) I don't know how much skill and what technique would be required to add about 1 meter of length to arms and legs. Does a black suit make the seam blend easily? There's also the fact that I would be wearing stilts to take into consideration here - would wider pants look weird, or can the foot rest in such a way on the stilts (at an angle, like ballerinas) as to not add girth to the pant leg?

Since the sleeves would be longer, I would be sticking mannequin arms at the end of my own and have them jut out from the sleeves, completing the illusion of unnaturally long arms and legs. There are Ikea wood hands that would look good covered in some gloves - any idea if there are better ways to do this?
I've never taken on a project of this complexity, that would require such wood working and tailoring skills. I'm lucky to live in a big city and could muster the tools (there are places that rent equipment) and materials needed for this project, what I would love is some insight on how one would best create this cosplay.
Thanks for reading!

So i watched this movie many times on TV, in Yugoslavias a kid because one tv station played every single day. No idea why, probably didn't have a lot of licensed content. So being a small kid and seeing always bits and pieces, here is what i remember: * Main character, a city man, i think his card breaks down as he is traveling in a state he is not familiar with. Blonde, remind me of David spade * Secondary charter, a weird man he meets on the road, who i think is a local, reminds me of John Turturro * At one point the weird man gets our main character to go skinny dipping * I feel like its set in a more dusty state, like Arizona or New Mexico. I remember a lot of yellow rocks That's all i got ,thanks for your help. Been trying to find this movie for 10 years now.

Crisis on Infinite Earths, the TV-crossover event, has concluded for some time now. (And now, The Flash has ended! Meaning, so has the Arrowverse. !) While I rather enjoyed the event, and everything that occurred and the new status quo of the Arrowverse, I would like to focus a roleplay in the previous form of the future, after Crisis.
Plus, with the end of the Verse coming shortly, it has been on my mind!
Though, that said, I want to take elements from all the shows, that showed off the Future, which all seemed to be a much more grim and unforgiving place. However, given this is the nature of a roleplay, I think we are more than free to take these elements and factors, and alter them and create our own sorta Earth within the Multiverse. If there is something here, you wouldn't want to take into account for our story, feel free to say something, or mention something you wish to have included.
Elements such as:

• The Flash(Barry Allen) goes missing, after the events; leaving his wife, with child, and friends behind.
  • (Whether he goes and fights Thawne in the past, to disappear is open for debate.,)
  • Nora West-Allen, is born shorty after.
• After Crisis, the survivors of Earth-38, relocate to Earth (whatever we are calling this Earth.1, or our own number. Same can be applied to 38. But, Supergirl, and some of her people, despite losing their Earth, move to the main Earth for our story.)
• (Which characters that have passed, can be discussed.)
• (Big one, worth debating) Oliver Queen lives through Crisis. While I did like his end, I rather enjoy the old, one-armed Oliver from the Future. (First seen on Legends). I like the idea of the broken hero, drowning in his own pity and despair.
  • Mia Smoak, and William Clayton, both still his children, and grow to similar roles as Arrow showed.
  • John Diggle,in these turn of events, died in Crisis. Rather than seeing how Star City started to fall.
  • Laurel Lance, also died in the events of Crisis.
• At some point after Crisis, A.R.G.U.S declared Meta-humans too dangerous. (Legends) and has started to put a ban on meta-powers. Meta- prisons are a more common thing.

Those are just some ideas, to craft into this over-all more, I guess edgier future, to write in. I like the idea, of a Dark future, that needs both correcting and saving. Kinda playing off the concept of: The Sins of the Father, type deal, as I would like the focus of the story being on the next generation of characters.
So the main focus would/could be around: Mia, William, John Diggle Jr, Nora West-Allen, Someone from Supergirl's line, all working together as the new "Justice League" of the future. The oldelegacy characters that are still alive, can make appearance, and offer some wisdom, but I don't want old-man Oliver aiding in every fight.
We can borrow the Batman beyond approach, with this too. A darker place, new foes, but old ones still lingering about. While, adapting the stories the characters got on the show. Like, for Mia and William. In these turn of events (if We have Oliver survive Crisis) they would have known their father, to some extent, before he gave up the fight. Their arc could be more attempting to make up for his failures, feeling they have inherited them. Nora could still be worrying and wondering what happened to her Father, only assisting to try and find people who might have known Barry.(While, avoiding ARGUS).
Supergirl, if we don't have her have a child, could have Johnathan Kent from the Comics. Perhaps her Superman died in Crisis, and to carry on his legacy, she took in his son. Johnathan would be living in a world, where his father is not only unknown, but what family he does have , are just happy to have a place to live. Tales of his father, and aunt's great heroics, are just myths on this Earth.
Kate, if we want to include Batwoman stuff, I feel would be very much like a Bruce type role. She hadn't given up the fight/mission, but older age has slowed her. Perhaps some bigger injury has caused her to step down. Could always introduce a Batwoman Beyond.
The Legends, as much as I like the show, could be lost in Time. Unable to help with the dark turn of events.
Of course, all of this is very open for debate, and discussion!
If interested, let's get in touch! I wouldn't say you need to know everything about every show, just a good bit, since this would take elements from all, and factors from previous seasons of some of them, into a new light. When it comes to writing, I prefer my partner and I write in 3rd person, past tense. I am more than open to write multiple characters, and help control the world. Please, no Reddit Chat. I do not like discussing through it. PM's, are more my style.

Bit into the -second- year here. Yeah. Still getting used to that. Think I am going to just start counting days as they pass here rather than doing the mental gymnastics needed to convert fifty hour days and two-hundred day seasons into Earth days and years. A 'season' here being about four-hundred and sixteen days long. Give or take a few days. Considering everything else on this world is artificial - I have a feeling the variance in the season timing is intentional and probably oscillates. Not enough pattern data yet to know for sure.
Still no handle on why time feels... compressed here? I have settled into a sleep schedule of about sixteen of the twenty-five hour night - and it feels like a restful eight hours. The dragon folk tend to sleep twenty hours. I use the extra time to practice with my magic sword. My MAGIC SWORD! yeaaaaaah!
This Grand Bazaar is so fun! It is like an enormous ren-fair if ren-fairs were into greeco-roman fashions. Speaking of. Baroness Clade was all ga-ga over some new dresses from the outer ring of the gathering. These were pretty interesting as the floor length skirts billowed out. This was pulled off by weaving the whole thing from wire mesh instead of chain-mail. Or used metal struts connected to a belt to give the garment shape. Just more example of how their textiles diverged from ours due to the radically different materials on hand. No mammals, no wool, a ridiculous abundance of metals. Oh yeah. And freaking magic.
I have to keep reminding myself that this is all on an enormous scale. It takes me about three hours to walk the outer ring. (oh-so much longer because we are window-shopping...) My walk speed is forty-eight kph. So yeah. Its big. And this thing lasts a ten-day. Though the tenth day is when alot of folk start packing up. Some far earlier if they sold out their wares quicker.
Found out what the wigs are made from. Dragon hair. Found a stall selling wigs and turns out dragons with nice hair use a hair growth spell to grow it out and harvest it regularly. Can not do it frequently. Something about needing time to replenish. But it is a business here for dragons who like other hair colors.
If you are willing to hang around a few days there are crafters and brewers who can whip up during the event some basic magic items. Mostly little widgets that do not do a whole lot. Or quick-craft stuff like arrows with basic targeting enhancement enchantments. Potions can be gotten in a day. I nabbed a few "Healing Potions" because they should work on my nominally organic parts. Least that was what I expected. Guess what? That's right. I'm WRONG! Kinda-sorta... Its Complex!!!
We swung around the Druid section of the magic ring at Ghinda's request and got the lowdown on the problems of fixing me up as it had apparently unbeknownst to me, been prying on her mind ever since we met. She would prod me now and then at the keep to do some 'tests', but never said what for?
This for...
She had been talking at length with one of the higher ups in the rankings of nature lovers. This guy looked ancient! Yet strong at the same time. My chest and veins felt a little tingly near him. Guessing that was the more plant based parts of me responding? In any case he was blood red and had these curly corkscrew horns like a ram. Rings everywhere! Fingers, horns, tail. Don't wanna know where else! And holding this staff that was like twenty meters tall! Wood. Like a whole tree. Topped with a turquoise orb and an, ahem, orbiting ring of, er, rings with different elements in the rings where a finger would go. Standard Earth, Air, Fire, Water. But between those were Magma, Smoke, Ice (how'd he get that even???), and Mud. Really impressive looking. The length of the staff was carved with arcane runes and banded in gold. Guy really liked his ring motif huh?
So first glance at me is that dismissive "Fuck off technology." attitude and I'm like "ooooh Imma gonna -show- him somethin!"
But then he does a double-take and starts to look at me funny. Like he is looking -through- me, inside me?
Then he starts to get excited.
Then really excited.
Then -oh fuck! What did I do this time?- excited.
Turns out he could clearly sense all the plant-life inside me comprising my life support systems. A fifteen meter tall enclosed micro-ecology. He was just ooohing and ahhing at the near perfect balance of my internal workins. And so an hour or more passed while I tried to explain in fantasy terms the incredible effort that went into the CyberDyne project and the botanist who made the breakthrough in sealed life support systems. They read it all as a neo-Druid creating a self sustaining eco-system. Something Druids of this world consider a work of art or a religious experience in a way. Due to how the whole world is in a way just that. Self contained and perpetual.
He was really interested in the mini forest that makes up my lungs. Probably because they are not of this world and at a guess are pinging his nature sense. He asked me if he could get a clipping. And I said "Not on the first date."
He got all purple in the face and then laughed and laughed.
So he confirmed that basic healing incantations like [Balm of Life] will kinda-sorta work on me. But due to my, ahem, Golem nature and my botanic parts, I'd get more oomph from a simple [Repair] incantation for my cybernetics and [Botanica's Blessing] for my plant based systems. A healing potion was going to do me little good then - and would be only a -third- as effective. argh! ah well. I can use it in the others in an emergency. Stuff makes triage look like leeches and poultices. hmph. Magic.
From all this I did though get some advice. Mainly to look up a Master of Alchemy to whip up some specialized healing draughts. Cost a bit more. But better than needing the magic equivalent of a Pit Crew to heal me up. Not like I intend to get perforated again. But with these Coalition jokers out there. I have a bad feeling I am going to be in the eye of the storm. Least they pointed me at someone here to talk to about that.
Noon will be dinner with the local nobility. The Baroness suggested I dress well so I guess I will be stowing the Regalia and going formal. Good thing packed the clothes for this. Kinda nervous. Aside from meeting the mayor of Dynamiton City, I have never really had to deal with the higher ups.
Forescout Valkyria signing out.
=----=====----=
Valkyria, with much assistance from Roscida, disengaged her Regalia and a few plates to slim down to a less aggressive profile. Then her ward helped her to get dressed and don her wig. Together they met up with Dasos and she resupplied more goggles to sell and for the morning the Gorgon swapped out with the Ki-rin girl so Dasos could do a little shopping herself.
Wandering the stalls and merchants she was updated on the sales of the goodies and stoning potions. "huh, more sold than I expected?"
Dasos nodded while munching on a glazed tyra leg as she walked beside the War Witch. "The Grand Bazaar is an opportune time to sell and spread word. And word is spreading."
She glanced sidelong at the Gorgon. "Feels good to be making a difference?"
This got an emphatic nodding. "Very much so. The look on peoples faces. Especially the expressions when learning the low cost. After thousands upon thousands of days we are not shunned and driven off."
"In time the cure will be found and you all can go back to living normal lives."
Dasos was keen to buy a new dress for herself after a lifetime of living in rags and whatever they could scrounge or steal. Well the metal equivalent of rags. Dragon clothing was very durable overall.
-<>-
As noon rolled around they saw the Gorgon back to her stall and Roscida joined Valkyria in meeting Baroness Clade at the castle gates. The structure was tremendous and some of the taller minarets reached high into the sky perhaps a quarter of a kilometer. The gate guards were armored and looked alot like silver versions of Valkyria. Though without the stiff wing covers. Each was armed with a huge halberd, a pole arm some twenty meters long with a spike pointing upwards, an axe head facing forward and a hook facing back.
Baroness Clade did the introductions and then they were escorted inside by an attendant and Valkyria got to gawk at the decorations, all on a cyclopean scale. Fifteen meter tall statuary adorned some halls. tapestries and stained glass windows were common and there were quite a few paintings. The elder Clade encouraged the guide to elaborate on some of the depictions.
"Here is show the mounted battle of the Phantom Swamps some two-hundred thousand days past."
The white and gold cyborg ran a quick calculation and figured that to be over a thousand years ago by Earth time. "So you even domesticated a thunder lizard?" She was looking at the huge diplodocus that was being ridden like an elephant and was about as large.
"The diplo in the center? Yes. They are native to the great swamps of the lowlands. A few daring souls have trained them for war. But they are difficult to manage. Bron are even harder to tame and for reasons unknown once every few seasons a bull will ascend the plateaus and go on a rampage until either driven off or put down." So explained the attendant.
Valkyria studied this for a time, taking into account the gigantic scale of this battle depicted. Spells were flying, knights with glowing weapons were cleaving into each-other, and a pair of trebuchets mounted on the diplodocus were lobbing stones at some sort wall of earth some mage had called up. The painting had tiny little details in it down to links in armor and little fine inscriptions on weapons and standards. "Who are they fighting? Looks formidable? Are those a pair of Golems? I see hinged joints?" she questioned.
"Indeed m'lady. Ta Matia tis Mageías, The Eyes of Vraja, were a mageocrocy that formed formed around a renowned vraja college of Solomonari to the west between here and the Ki-rin lands. They grew in power and then began expanding. They employed Golems and Elementals in large numbers and were a force to be reckoned with. The painting depicts the final battle on the borders of what would become the Principalities." pointed out the attendant.
"So what became of them?"
Baroness Clade answered that. "Everyone turning against them and internal fraction caused the eventual collapse as they suffered a series of defeats after some initial victories. A faction within the Eye was against violence and secretly aided the unified people opposing the expansion and so inside and out the cracks formed. Finally they could take no more and sued for peace when they realized the horrible loss of knowledge that was happening as one after another fell. They reorganized and police themselves rigorously now as a true college of study and wisdom. That was all some half a million days ago."
The War Witch gawked as she did some calculations. Over two-thousand eight-hundred Earth years ago. "And it is still going today?"
A nod from the elder dragoness. "Indeed. I myself studied there for six-thousand days and graduated well in my class."
Valkyria did not comment on needing to go to magic school for thirty-five years before getting out was a bit mind blowing. "Seems all that study payed off!"
"Twas not that long. Curricula has advanced since those early days. Back then one was expected to study for a full ten-thousand says!" the Solomanari waved it off as if decades meant little in the greater scheme.
This got the cybernetic human in a draconic looking variable frame to wondering just how long these people lived. Something she would have to ask later. She had some clues already based on the ages of Roscida and the younger Clade, which reminded her. "So will Clade and the Baron be arriving in two days?"
"Correct. My husband and daughter wish to do some shopping while the event is close."
After that they met up with Princess Lykofos. This woman was tall and a rich royal purple with blue scale trim. She was dressed in an ebony gown set with hundreds of diamonds so it looked like a starry night twinkling as she moved. Her long hair was a night blue with a streak of lighter blue like a comet trailing down one side. "Ahh. So this is the mysterious stranger I have heard so much about in so short a span?" she addressed the War Witch with a pleasant rumbly voice.
"That is probably me if it is something weird yea, M'lady." she replied.
The Princess' smile grew. "I would not call selflessly aiding the people of the land weird Lady Valkyria. You have performed a deed long thought impossible in bringing back to us our brethren thought forever lost. That alone is worthy of high praise. I also hear you were instrumental in completing my cousin's elemental collection, yes?"
Valkyria looked from one to the other questioningly. "Cousin? So you two are related?"
Baroness and Princess shared a laugh. "Oh indeed. Though Procidens here takes more after her seaside blood while I take more after our inland kin." she then walked along with the group and plied the cybernetic visitor with questions. "I observed you on the streets yesterday. But you were much bulkier and not dressed?"
"Yes. I removed my Regalia as it is cumbersome for formal affairs."
That got a smile from the Princess. "We have lost a few chairs to knights insisting on attending in full dress armor. So your mercy upon my furniture is appreciated!" Glancing at the figure of the strange being she asked. "I understand that you are lost and far from home, with no hope of ever returning. Let me assure you on behalf of the Principalities of the Comet as a Princess of my realm that you are more than welcome in our lands. I wish only that you might have seen us in less troubling times..."
"I would like to think the same if one of you ever ended up in my world. And sadly I am no stranger to troubling times back home. It is how I became as you see me now." So replied the War Witch in thanks to her gracious benefactors. Then she was treated to a lavish dinner and various deserts afterwards. The main course were various soups, some meat stock and some vegetable, all with tyra egg mixed in like a sort of egg-drop soup. Then there were roast uta in some sort of glaze and seasoning with no Earth equivalent. It was faintly sweet. A rarity for dragon cuisine she had learned over the course of her stay. Sugar producing plants were rare in the qualities needed to make it even remotely viable. So she guessed what she was tasting was probably honey.
This got her musing as to what sorts of bugs were in the environment. But she had thus far held off on that question. She certainly had not seen any other than a little flitting thing she guessed was a dragonfly the size of an Earth eagle. A speck at her scale; and butterflies, or the prehistoric equivalents of, with bright single colors in stripes rather than patterns. The wing edges were flat rather than rounded.
As usual she got some amusement from the reactions to her eating. "So how bad has the Coalition been in the last season? I hear the realms bordering on the Coalition have had a few incursions. But nothing big since that ambush on Clade?"
Princess Lykofos nodded contemplatively. "Not officially no. But there have been two attacks deeper into the Principalities that were not made public."
"To keep the enemy guessing what happened to the squads?"
"Correct. Your case was impossible to keep quiet on. That and it was agreed that the nature of your advent would perplex and confound the Coalition well and good. The various Princes and Princesses have been quietly deflecting inquiries about you ever since. And keeping abreast of who is asking these questions. We have designated you a War Witch, though it is rather obvious your nature and incantations function outside the norm. Obvious to those of us with a broader knowledge of the mystic arts."
Valkyria nodded between tossing trees dipped in some manner of broccoli-esque sauce into her maw and munching. "Figured that would be the case really. Trying to mesh what I can do with what you people can had been a challenge to put it mildly." she admitted.
"We appreciate the effort on out behalf. Were I pressed to classify you, based on the information thus far gathered, I would probably lean to that of the Fusillade. An as yet rare outgrowth of Artifice focused on long range strikes. Alchemists are another calling that is much better known due to it's utility." so described the Princess.
"I will stick to War Witch for now to keep the enemy guessing" so smiled slyly said War Witch while taking a bite from a uta drumstick. After that she tried some pie which was remotely similar in flavor to a lemon meringue pie. Made from a thick rinded fruit called a citron. They were about the size of grapes to her and looked like yellow fragment grenades. The actual usable part was the size of a pea inside. "Somewhere on Earth an agriculturist is having fits over the quantities needed to eat round here." she chuckled. Apparently the rinds were fed to styra as they loved it.
After dinner the party retreated to sealed chambers with guards posted round. The Princess sat down in a comfy looking chair and her demeanor got notably more serious. "Now for the more pressing matter we invited you to visit today. There has been a death at the Grand Bazaar."
Baroness Clade looked concerned. "Another?"
Princess Lykofos nodded solemnly. "Another inventor of enchanted items."
This seemed to be an ongoing thing so the white and gold dragoness asked. "I take it that this is one of several? How many?"
"Six thus far. All crafters working on some new wonder. All found dead of what appear to be natural causes. But their inventions missing and soon to show up in Coalition hands. This can not be coincidence. We have tried communing with the spirits of the dead. But to date none have ever seen their slayer and thusly can not place name to this mysterious spy in our midst. We would like to ask if you can assist us in any way with this mystery. Perhaps someone outside the problem can uncover a clue we are missing?" The Princess then laid out the six assumed murders so far.
"The first was several seasons ago. About one-thousand days. An inventor working on a repeating ballistia was found dead in his home and the prototype missing. less than a season later the Coalition is being armed with a new repeating ballistia. The shape is different. But the function and timing are suspect." she sighed and then continued. "Next was a craftsman who was working to produce a more refined healing draught. Found dead and the formula gone. We suspect the Coalition is now issuing it to their soldiers. Third was a friend of mine that I had patroned for years. She was working on a new armor enchantment for the Lightning Knights. Found hanged in her bedroom. Apparent suicide. I -know- better. Tellingly. We questioned her spirit and she remembered nothing of that and was as perplexed as we were. This invention has not yet surfaced in the Coalition to our knowledge. The next three have each coincided with a Grand Bazaar and yesterday we found another crafter dead. No vraja residue and incantations to detect poisons showed nothing. His creation is missing."
"Is the body still on hand?" asked the War Witch.
"Yes. Though we checked thoroughly." replied the Princess. "Also the Ruling Prince sent us an investigator who has been following the case since the second occurrence. He is here now. We wished to speak to you alone before bringing them in."
"If vraja showed no traces then we have to think outside the box. And working with a professional would be a boon I bet. They know vraja?"
The purple and blue dragoness bowed her head and so they retreated to the castles equivalent of a morgue. "Yes they are a practitioner of the arts. "We checked for signs of covert violence. Assassination is rare, but not unheard uf in some less reputable kingdoms."
Here she was introduced to a male red dragon with black scale trim. He looked curiously at Valkyria as she looked over the body laid out on a stone slab pending last rites or other arrangements. "M'lady. I was not expecting you to come down so late." he deferred to the Princess.
Valkyria took some samples and ran some basic tests with her onboard analysis systems. These were not medical grade. But she took some readings anyhow just in case something showed up. "No foreign elements in the blood. But there is an elevated carbon trade in the lungs. hmmmmm." She redid her tests and focused them as an idea began to percolate to the fore. "Has anyone tried contacting the spirit since you have that option?"
"Not yet. It is a taxing incantation and requires five special candles to perform. We have some in stock but supply is limited and the dead tend not to answer exactly coherently. And you can not use the incantation on a spirit again till many days have passed." so explained the red dragon.
"Got it. Makes sense then. Lets see. Here's the results on the test and... ah-hah. Well I can save you some candles."
"Oh?" Both the Princess and the Baroness asked as one.
"Exotic tallow fume traces in the lungs. Someone used that communicate with the dead incantation ahead of you. Maybe to prevent you from finding out something? Or just waste limited resources?" explained the mechanical visitor.
The investigator nodded thoughtfully. "Though that does not explain the lack of clues as to cause of death?"
"Right. But we know from this that the spy is versed in the arts and is using it to cover their tracks. huh. Question. Would an incantation to cure poison work on a corpse? And would it leave any traces of vraja?" she asked thoughtfully.
"A [Counter Poison] incantation would leave faint traces of vraja in the system."
"Ok. Are there any incantations that mask vraja presence?" she followed up.
This surprised the gathered practitioners of the art. "Why no? How would that even work? To use vraja to conceal vraja. That would leave traces itself."
"Would it though?" mused the cyborg. Then she waved it off. "Just a thought. Was there any vraja trace found on the one that hung herself?"
"Why... no there was not?" and a dawning horror of realization shone in the Princess' eyes. "You mean..."
The War Witch looked down at the cadaver and then to those gathered.
"Yeah. Your spy is an inventor too."

Let's Dive Deep into the Aftermath of the FX/Hulu Documentary "The Secrets of Hillsong" that has exposed rampant abuse in their church. Hillsong is thankfully dying but a Church in Kansas City, Missouri formerly Known as 'Hillsong KC' and 'The Cause,' has Managed to Thrive Despite Hillsong's Downfall. The church that now goes by Kingdom City Church has been Engulfed in Disturbing Allegations of Sexual Abuse, Financial Fraud, and Cult-like Practices since its Inception. I'm here to spread awareness and try to stop this church from thriving but also to find anyone who has been hurt by this church or churches alike in the area. It's worth mentioning that I'm currently working on a documentary focusing on this church and other similar cult-like establishments in the Kansas City area, so any insights would be greatly appreciated.

I prefer to travel alone, I have some knowledge on korean history so I would like to reduce guided tours to minimum. But I'm wondering if there are some places where it's ACTUALLY better to be with a guide? I was wondering if I should book a Suwon day tour or go there alone. I know that DMZ is a must too but for different reasons...
I'm travelling through public transport 100%.
Cities I'm visiting: Seoul, Suwon (day trip), Gangneung, Daegu, Andong (day trip), Gyeongju, Busan, Jeju, Yeosu, Jeonju, Gwangju (day trip).

Guess what? I'm counting down the days until I set foot in the vibrant land of Goa on 1st June, and I couldn't be more stoked! I'm heading there with a couple of my college mates, ready to unleash some serious fun and create unforgettable memories.
About Me:
Alright, let me give you a glimpse of who I am. Picture this: I'm a fair-skinned, dark-haired guy with your average build, standing tall at 5'11 and weighing in at 75kg. I'm no couch potato, nor a david's statue haha. I don't smoke, and when it comes to drinks, I'm all about that social scene. Keeping things clean and free from any unwanted surprises is a given for me. Hey, speaking of trust, early photo verification is totally cool with me!
What Makes Me Tick:
I'm the kind of guy who embraces life's diverse experiences. Whether I'm snuggled up at home or out exploring, I'm always up for a good time. Give me a captivating TV show or movie, and I'll be hooked. Want to know a secret? I'm not just a spectator—I'm also a midnight-guitarist and a poet. Oh, and don't get me started on art! Museum dates? Count me in! Impromptu stupid plans? Count me in!
Tabletop games, video games, and trivia nights—yes, please! Reading and writing are my creative outlets, intertwined with my hobbies and interests. Taking care of my mental and physical health is a top priority, and trust me, I can whip up a mean dish in the kitchen. You know what else makes my heart skip a beat? Engaging in heart felt discussions about anything and everything; as we travel new landscape and explore a new city.
So, here's the scoop on my daily life.
The Goa Adventure:
Alright, time for the big reveal! Why am I heading to Goa? Well, it all started as a crazy promise among us foolish teens back in engineering school. Now, we're finally making good on that pact and bidding farewell to those cherished college days. But here's the thing—I have a sneaky feeling that this trip has something extraordinary in store for me, and maybe, just maybe, that includes you.
Seeking an Adventure Companion: Here's the deal—I'm on the lookout for a fantastic partner in crime to join me on this Goa escapade. Together, we'll dance the night away at epic clubs, explore hidden gems, and soak up the coastal magic that Goa has to offer. Let's embrace the thrill of new experiences, laughter, and unforgettable moments.
If you're an adventurous, free-spirited soul who connects with my passions and interests, I'd absolutely love to hear from you. Shoot me a message, and let's see if the stars align and lead us to an extraordinary connection.
Thanks a million for taking the time to read my post, and hey, fingers crossed for an incredible encounter!
Cheers xx

TL;DR: I seek a serious relationship with an open-minded person who still believes in the traditional family household values and roles (where we're equals, but the man is the primary leader, protector, and provider of the household.) I’d love to find someone who maybe even wants to travel with me as my co-pilot in my truck as we travel across the country exploring. Also, I often date women half my age. So, I’m looking for someone who is okay with an age gap relationship.
About me: As hinted above, I travel America in my big rig 18 wheeler truck chasing sunsets and my dreams. I’m also owner of a small but successful crypto investment company. (I love to talk about Bitcoin) Former Army Officer and combat veteran. Aspiring songwriter and horrible guitar player.
I’m God fearing and marriage-minded. I love the outdoors, and my hobbies include walking, hiking, bicycle, running, camping, picnics, and eating out at restaurants or enjoying a nice romantic dinner at home.
I love to travel and explore new places! I’m well traveled for work, but have only visited 7 countries so far. Sci-fi, Marvel and Anime fan. ENTJ. Sagittarius. Friends say I’m an Intelligent lifelong learner and that I give more than I take.
I am always a gentleman in public. I am an active listener, reserved, and I have a relaxed personality. I work hard, love to be active, and do not get upset or angry. Don't mistake my kindness for weakness. I am an aggressive, assertive man when I must be.
I am a provider for those I love. I'm very supportive of family and friends. I am a protective, assertive, and highly driven man who can also be compassionate, kind, and considerate of others. Above all, I honor and support my woman to become a better version of herself.
I like to get outside and do fun things and not sit home all the time. I’m a bit of a foodie who enjoys eating out, going to movies, working out, and reading to improve myself. Part country boy, part city, part nerd, sometimes witty, dominant without being domineering or abusive, sometimes shy.
I’m reserved and laid back without being too boring. I try to stay active/Fit and eat healthy with the occasional cheat day. No beer belly allowed, but secretly working on my dad coffee bod.
I do have a kinky side. (I’m a BDSM Master with a dash of DaddyDom.) One minute we're joking around...and the next, I'm pinning you on the sofa (or against the wall) and getting spicy taking what I want. (You belong to me. Every part of you.) I’m not seeking a long distance relationship because my main love languages are physical touch and affection. I’m okay with online at first, but I want an in person relationship. I love to give praise and positive words of affirmation.
I seek a naturally submissive female. Average body but still physically active, (takes care of your mind, body, and spirit) Believes in a higher power.
You seek LOVE FIRST AND FOREMOST, security, protection, guidance, structure, safety, nurturing, someone to hold your hand, being babied at times, other times being treated as a princess or queen.
You desire hugs and passionate tender kisses, while also occasionally desiring to be chocked or spanked. (It’s complicated.) You’re not into pain, but know there is no love without pain.
Age is a number to you. You have the maturity that comes from facing what life throws at you for a few years, and now discovering that you can deal with it. (Together we can make it from rock bottom to your dreams.)
You are a female who loves to serve and take care of her man. It’s not so much a kink more than it is just who you are. You are very adaptable to meet my needs, as I meet yours. You believe in completing small acts of service for your man. You believe that giving yourself fully to him is the ultimate power exchange and show of devotion and trust.
US: I crave a 1950 American style relationship dynamic with traditional gender roles. I'd love for you to share your day with me; be able to trust me enough to be yourself around me; finally let your guard down, confide in me, submit to me because you trust me to protect you, take care of you, teach--guide--mentor you using my life experience and resources to help you become a better version of yourself.
I promise to provide a safe place for you to relax and explore...just walk in my door and give up control. Let go the worries of your day. You don't have to be in charge here. I've got you now. Let's create a life where you can be free from worrying about everyday problems and stressors, and just get pleasure from having a safe space to explore your feminine energy and desires.
It'll be just you and me against the world. If you're craving this type relationship dynamic (or want to hitch a ride to enjoy the countryside,) feel free to send me a message with a recent pic and let's chat about your needs, wants, limits, and see if there is chemistry and a connection.

I would like to discuss the aftermath of the recent FX/Hulu documentary titled "The Secrets of Hillsong," which has had a significant impact on the Hillsong organization, leaving them in a challenging situation. Interestingly, there is a church situated in Kansas City, Missouri, previously known as 'Hillsong KC' (formerly 'The Cause'), now operating under the name Kingdom City Church. Surprisingly, despite the controversies surrounding Hillsong, this particular church in Kansas City is flourishing and seems to be actively involved in covering up cases of sexual abuse, financial fraud, and maintaining a cult-like culture that has persisted since its establishment. I am particularly interested in hearing from individuals who possess additional information or personal experiences related to this place. It's important to note that I am currently working on a documentary that focuses on this church and similar cult-like organizations in the Kansas City area. Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Let's start the conversation... This church drastically changed and made me question my faith.
