I know, it's hilarious - I like the first one better but the second one's still good.
Yeah, that's right!
Have you notice they nicked the Genghis Khan in the sports shop bit (1st movie) from Python series 1? 'Historical Impersonations'! I think it was Attila The Hun in that case, but still...
Station? STATION?! This is madness!
This (above picture) is a proper station :D
Nah, I make joke. Same as genji really - It's just a thread in which you would write an intro about yourself, name, age, hobbies, how you got into Python etc, and also to post whatever rubbish you want.
Ah. I wouldn't know where to start!
Those creatures are from Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey. They say 'Station!' all the time. 'Tis very silly.
They first appear in the clip below - if you're interested.

Jude Baldwin · 31 · Upper Class ·
Malice · Alexander Skarsgard.
"How such ill intentions abase my sought repose, remains a question unrelieved and festered by the crows."
—William Douglas Rodenberg.
Jude straightened his tie and made sure each of his hairs were slicked back into place. Even at an early age, his parents would joke, he was a perfectionist. And a perfectionist he was, but it wasn't for them to comment on. He grimaced as he thought about his foul parents, both betrayers of their city-state. He wouldn't let their fall ruin his chances to become an asset. And while they rotted in jail, he'd have the chance to reclaim his family's once-held power, and rise through the ranks of nobles. As much as money was adored in this blemish of a city-state, power was craved and lusted after. Dominance was the human condition. The weakest man has no chance of claiming a spot ontop of the pyramid, and even the wealthiest man wouldn't stand a chance without will and ruthlessness. Ruthlessness was the one thing he admired in his parents; no matter who got in the way of their crimes, they wouldn't hesitate to leave them soulless. It was something he had begun growing inside of himself, this ruthlessness, this need to do whatever is required to succeed. He wouldn't stop at any point in his life, he would never stop climbing the ranks and pushing people down. It wasn't just for the success, in his mind, it was also for the shear joy of it. Imagine, all the pesky lower-lifes clawing at his feet, trying to become more than their fate had decided for them. What would he do? Would he be the diplomat, and turn them away politely? Unlikely. People like them needed to be taught lessons, if not multiple lessons. Common courtesy was an ancient practice in politics.
The chances were, Jude Baldwin would rather kick them in the face and have them polish his shoes with their tears, than anything else.
The nobles were a mass of faces and gestures that Lord Baldwin had to do everything in his power to disregard. They were pieces of flesh with opinions he didn't care to hear. Being a raider meant being bombarded by people, trying to pay him in advance for some of his finds. There were also those who funded his raids, aching to send him to some faraway reach of the Nation in hopes he would work his magic and find something. Dash their hopes, forget their petty wishes. He didn't raid for them, and he didn't raid for his city-state. He raided for himself. Another piece of wisdom he had learned in his younger years was that no one would bend down to pick him up and help him. As such, how could he be bothered to help others, or cater to others? It wasn't his practice, and his practice was survival. Helping the weaker people, the weaker city-state, would only break him. Whereas, sending information on weaknesses and security details to other city-states, this proved to help him. It had taken years of planning and expanding his resources, but eventually Jude had found a true benefit. If he were to be cohorts with the less wealthy, but obviously superior in strength and teamwork, he would only gain. The only loss he could calculate would be that of his city-state, and his own life is anyone found out. But the chances of that were nearly impossible, everything he executed would be clean-cut and precise. And the benefit would truly come into work when the lesser city-states banded together and attacked York. Only then would he find the pleasure and power he was looking for. Power from the fall of the pathetic city he lived in.
And pleasure from the despair as he crushed them in his pursuit of other targets.
Occupation: Raider.
He raids and is often paid for it by his funders, but during his raiding he also provides information to the other city-states.
Cruel, self-assured, and determined. He doesn't find it nessecary to supply to anyone but himself, and often refuses the affection or flattery of others. If he were to involve himself in a relationship of any kind, it would be a sadistic one at best.
He isn't a very amicable person, but he makes it imperative that he communicate with each nobleperson in one way or another. To influence them would only aid him.
Weston Perry · 20 · Lower Class ·
Narcissism · Douglas Booth.
"This aching loneliness, that beauty is unable to mend."
—Indiscreet Episode.
Weston sat crouched in an old bar, craning his neck underneath a table. He could see his mother's legs from underneath the table, a mixture of fishnets and leather and porcelain skin. He smiled and moved towards her - he had spent so long searching for her in this crowded bar, and finally he found her. Weston sat beside her leg and watched her boots as she twirled her feet in circles. He laughed and his mother jerked, looking underneath the table. She narrowed her eyes and lowered her eyebrows, lowering her voice from its earlier, giggly pitch. What are you doing here? You were supposed to stay in the restroom. He flinched at her words, and muttered under his breath and apology. She shook her head and told him an apology wasn't going to cut it - she kicked him in his side and watched him curl up. Disgusting, his mother said, and went back above the table to speak to her date. Weston was supposed to know better than that at this point in his life - never interrupt his mother during her work. She needed to date men to keep in business, and he knew that. It wasn't her fault, it was his. He bent down, gasping and staring at the ground. If only he were perfect like the men his mother kept the company of. With a dashing smile and slicked back hair. She would love him too, if he were like them.
If he were perfect.
The Perry son walked up the staircase, and paused to look into the cleaned handrails. His face was a warped reflection, one eyes too large and the other too small, with his lips lopsided and drooping. He stood there, and watched himself move, smiling and frowning to see the differences in the polished surface. Once he could only imagine, he had looked as obscene as he did in the handrail. Weston continued walking up the staircase into the main parlor of business of the Sweet Box. Once, his mother had beat him when he drifted in the way of her work. Her fellow prostitutes would pity him, help clean him up and keep him away from her. He had once felt pain and disgrace, but not anymore. Now he no longer wished for the affections of his abusive mother, and he no longer cowered in the protection of her fellow workers. Weston smiled cockily as he ascended - that him had been gone for a very long time. He was talented and handsome now. He stopped in the bathroom and looked into the mirror. He was charismatic and gentlemanly. He was everything he had wished he were. It was a lonely life for Weston Perry, but he no right to complain. His wish was granted.He was perfect.
Occupation: Security detail.
He works as the sole security in the Sweet Box, and although he's not very intimidating he is known for his left hook.
Chivalrous, attentive, and sensitive. He is ever the gentleman, but he has a poor tolerance for insults and doesn't take any negativity well, especially if it has to do with him personally.
Iola Mercer - Although he does not know Iola on a personal level, she employed him and he considers her to be a better mother than his own. Along with her workers, he calls her Momma Mercer.
Kristopher Herman - He has on multiple occasions asked Kristopher to paint him or sculpt him, but the artist refuses on the basis that he is male and not female. For this Weston holds him in disregard and contempt.
Griffith Davies - He and Griffith have fought more than once, though both of their identities are privy to themselves. Weston goes out to the arena for the sake of keeping in shape and making sure he is always able to attend to his job.

Kristopher Herman · 26 · Lower Class ·
Enthrallment · Ben Barnes.
"Pygmalion doth his bride behold, rapt on her pure and sculptured charms."
—Edward Rowland Still.
Kristopher had always wondered how a son could be like a father. His father was tall, and he had a scruffy beard and crinkly eyes. He would sit and draw his father's eyes day in and out, trying to capture the creases and the wrinkles. After he perfected the eyes, he would begin messing around with his father's paints. There would be a range of colors to choose from, and if he didn't quite have a color he liked he would mix them and run with the results. His eye portraits came in pastels, sepias, and in the occassional monochrome. He began working on every solid surface possible, leaving crinkly eyes to great his father back home from vending on the streets. After painting eyes over eyes over yet another layer of eyes, Kristopher was allowed to see his father's masterpiece. It was the artwork which he claimed would make him eternal, make him memorable. It would put his name in every household. Still, Kristopher didn't understand - what was so miraculous about a sketch of a woman? His father would explain - it wasn't the sketch, but what would become of the woman in the sketch. She would become a sculpture, he said, once he had enough money to buy the materials. And for a mere second, Kristopher understood how a son could be like a father.
He thought that perhaps, a son was given to a father not for succession of his bloodline, but for that of his obsession.
Sitting in the Sweet Box for all manners of the day wasn't Kristopher Herman's favorite experience. There were always women floundering around him, trying to get him to spend some money so they could undress for him. As interesting as that may have been to any other young man his age, Kristopher wasn't interested in the sex. He was interested in the women - their curvature, the way their lips bowed. How their feet arched and their shoulders dipped. He only visited the brothel to observe, and everything he could notice he took great care to remember. He didn't need a real woman, when waiting in his apartment he had a sketch of one. She wasn't perfect yet - when he first saw her, she was, but soon his father's dream was forgotten and somehow water had touched the delicate lines of the woman. It was his duty as his late father's son to complete her, and to make her as perfect as she once was. Observing these women, who men in York thought of as the most beautiful in the nation, would help him complete her. He thought, no, he knew that if she existed, his life would be more than old paintings of eyes.
He would be more than his father, if only he could complete his dream. Then, Kristopher would finally have the chance to pursue his own.
Occupation: Artist.
Just as his father did, Kristopher vends his artwork on the streets. He spends most of his time at the Sweet Box.
Steadfast, hopeful, and hard-working. He never does something half-way and prefers his work over anything else. However, he is slightly insecure when it comes to his own identity and who he is as an artist.
Iola Mercer - He preferred Iola over many of the prostitutes as a model for his sculpture. He respects her now for the way she climbed to the level she is in now, but finds bits of himself in her whenever he sees her wearing a sad expression.
Griffith Davies - He knows Griffith as the same illness his father passed away with, Griffith contracted. He feels sympathy for him in this sense. They have never spoken.

Eun Clark · 22 · Upper Class ·
Theft · Kim Soo Hyun.
"Even a petty thief can steal much more than you can give."
—Thomas Doubting.
Eun curled into a ball to protect his belonging, a small doll his parents had given him before sending him and his cousin to the Nation. The other children hadn't taken so well to the strange-looking foreigner, and had a habit of taking everything he owned. He would walk outside and they would take the buttons off of his shirt, peel off his shoes and steal his socks. The boys surrounding him kicked at his stomach, until he didn't have the strength to stay folded up and became vulnerable. They laughed and tossed around the doll, pulling apart its legs and arms. Eun Clark shivered and lunged forward, only to grab air and receive a punch to his jaw. The laughter and violation of his belonging, the only remembrance he had left of his real family, not the host family who burdened him with the last name Clark and the society he lived in – it was humiliating. It broke him. Eun slid to the pavement and let the pain of it all wash over him, until he was drowning in it. Then, at that moment when he hid his head in his arms, he made a promise to himself.
He would never be in this situation again, and for the rest of his life he would only gain.
With a borrowed suit and a dashing smile, Eun made his way into the jewelry shop. His host mother, Lady Clark, was expecting him to bring back her jewels. She had broken the chain to her favorite necklace and sent them to this jewelry shop for repair. He went through the assortment of rings, brooches, and lockets, feigning interest. The man who repaired jewelry was still in the back of the store, which meant the clerk at front did not know him as the young man of the Clark household. He moved with professional ease, and while turning to speak to the clerk at front he snatched up some pearls. Slipping them into his pocket, he asked for the repairs he was waiting on. She nodded and went into the back, which only prompted him to go back to his browsing. After a few minutes, the clerk reappeared with the repairs, and Eun Clark was gone from the sight of the small jewelry shop. He had left with the necklace, a string of pearls, and three rings. Quality over quantity, he thought to himself, and set off to the pawn shop on the other side of York. He had promised himself he would gain.
And gain Eun Clark did.
Occupation: Unemployed.
He sells his items to pawn shops, but otherwise makes no profit.
Quirky, soft-spoken, and curious. He has strange mannerisms, such as playing with whatever he can get his hands on, and isn't very good with people.
Tegan Davies - He talks most with Tegan, and she is one of few he has shared with his kleptomania. He visits the Green Cafe very often because of her.
Matthias Wolters - He met Matthias once while selling off stolen items to the pawn shop. Before Matthias could see him, he took his goods and left. Ever since then he is careful when he visits the pawn shop to sell anything.

Alphonse Carter · 20 · Upper Class ·
Ignorance · Caleb Landry Jones.
"Holding the mind captive, blinding its subject from the truth."
—Emmanuel Oduro.
Alphonse blinked. It troubled the maids when did so; they thought it was him pretending he could see, when in reality even blind he needed to blink. He smiled to himself, and still keeping his head in the same place, he asked the youngest maid where his father was. She curtsied - he could hear her skirt rustling as she did - and told him his father was still not yet home. The Carter heir played with his fingers, and listened to his small world move. In the distance, there was the sound of plates clattering in the sink. The older maids were whispering about the pay and the hours, where the younger maids about his inability. He could hear the pity in their words, and decided to ask one of them to take him upstairs. Hopefully it would keep their mind off of him. One of the younger maids took his hand gently, as if he were made of china and not of flesh and bone, and brought him up each step carefully. He liked to pretend he couldn't walk around the house on his own; of course he could, after all he had been living there for so long. It was only a matter of memorizing the steps and the count. As they walked up the steps, he counted in his head. The maid stopped at the twelfth step and asked him if he'd like some tea. He shook his head and continued the count, but behind her insistence on getting some tea and the numbers running through his head, he could hear it.
He could hear the shuffling of blankets, and the muffled moans.
Alphonse Carter had learned that ignoring terrible truths and locking them in the back of one's head, was the easiest way to survive. No matter how many times his father had brought up that one day, when Alphonse had discovered he and his mistress, the boy would shake his head and refuse to acknowledge it. To think that his father would rather spend time bedding a prostitute than enjoying time with his son was impossible, and so he fashioned up a different story. That woman was asking for a loan - his father was an established man, after all. It was a plausible story. Every time his father brought home another woman, Alphonse would assume it was for a loan. Why, he thought, should he have to face the truth? All he wanted was hope. Hope that his father truly was busy, and he wasn't just avoiding his son. Hope that one day, the women and the loans would stop, and they could spend time with each other. Of course, Alphonse wasn't daft. He knew that there were no loans.
But knowing and admitting are two completely different things.
Occupation: Unemployed.
He spends his time at the Hungry Giant instead of actually looking for a job, although he does sometimes do accounting for his father.
Clever, kind-hearted, and rather innocent. He lived a sheltered life, and as such doesn't know many things about life which wasn't tutored to him.
Dirk Adler - He considers Dirk his source on information in the world, his tutor on the streets. Dirk often tells him about his own life and his own sexual conquests, which interests Alphonse but is something he doesn't quite understand yet.
Lise Claesson - He favors Lise mainly because she too is innocent in some respects. He watches her gamble, and orders her drinks on his tab.

Dirk Adler · 22 · Lower Class ·
Betrayal · Dave Franco.
"Scarred me with your beautiful lies, they echo inside like bleeding words."
—Alexandra Richard.
Dirk Adler watched his brother step up to the altar, kind eyes and flushed face on his wedding day. Everyone was just as excited as he, mingled breath and voices trying to make sense of words and phrases in the cramped space that was the church. Dirk himself had never had much admiration for such ceremonies - what did matrimony mean that a regular relationship didn't? His older brother had told him that on his own wedding day, he would realize the difference tenfold. The youngest Adler boy had decided to bear with the tedium and chaos that was such a celebration, as if is brother could, he could as well. His brother's fiancee, a young woman Dirk often called Goose for the way bumps ran down her skin when she was excited, stepped into the secondary entrance, where the flowergirls and ringbearer stood. She bent down and whispered to Dirk, a sad smile sickening her soft features. I love him, she said, but I'm not ready. She turned away from the entrance to the church and towards the world outside, and looked back at her fiancee one last time, standing at the altar, before running out into the daylight.
Everyone chattered on, still rambling about the joys of marriage and the reception afterwards. Not even the soon-to-be-wed Jakob Adler realized what had happened; he still stood nervously, but for all the wrong reasons. Dirk stared at the empty space where Goose once stood and waited for them to realize. To realize that all this fuss, all this worry was for naught. That they were celebrating an empty cause. That marriage was not as pleasant a thing as his brother had made it out to be.
She spoke his name, once, twice, three times. The fourth time she screamed.
He still remember how she cried days after his disappearance, or what she thought to be it - he had kept near for damage control, and left after a week of her suffering. All the girls he'd dated were all the same; clingy, hysterical, and much too invested in their relationship with him. Dirk had warned them all repeatedly that he meant nothing serious with them, but who was he to reason with women? Dirk stood on the steps of an inn, wishing the poor girl would pick herself up and move on. Only he seemed to catch the dames trapped in their fantasies, consumed by the supposed splendor of true love and all its forms. They spoke of it often, and that was the first hint he caught to leave them. Then came talk of how darling children were. But the last straw was their interest in marriage. In a bountiful ceremony, clothed in white silk and lace veils. It was then he would leave, move on, find someone else. Dirk, as the inn owner would say, was always in the market for another passtime - not a woman, a passtime. If anything, the youngest Adler didn't want commitment. He didn't want to put himself into a relationship that had no fruits but regret. He'd seen his brother experience it. He couldn't speak days after his botched wedding, and after the silence was gone came the anger. It washed over the sadness and startled everyone, and when it was over came the pure and cold desolation.
Trust had no real value. It was kind but harsh very easily, a tamed animal lashing out on the hand which fed it.
It was easier, Dirk had concluded, to betray the trust of another, before letting them worm too far into your heart.
Occupation: Bartender.
He bartends at the Hungry Giant.
Lewd, cocky, and noncommittal. He doesn't like relationships, but when he needs a place to stay he's not exactly shy.
Alphonse Carter - He's constantly at the Hungry Giant, and they talk often. Dirk is good friends with Alphonse, and he finds interest in how he perceives the world around him and the way he lives his life.
Lise Claesson - She frequents the Hungry Giant, and he talks with her often. He has more than once challenged her to a gamble, but when she realized what a terrible sport and gambler he was, and how little he had to his name, she began denying his attempts.

Griffith Davies · 20 · Lower Class ·
Envy · Nico Tortorella.
"Cruelty has a human heart, and jealousy a human face."
—William Blake.
Rain fell onto young Griffith Davies' hair and slipped down his forehead, into his eyes. His vision was soon blurry, but he did nothing to wipe away the drops. Next to him, Tegan Davies held his hand tightly and cried into his shoulder. They were waiting for their mother to walk out of the building they had once called their home. Although his sister was too young to realize what was going on, the Davies' son knew. His mother carried suitcases with her, her cheek ablaze with a hand mark. She half-smiled at her children and hurried them out of the spring showers. Divorce was a strange and new word on Griffith's tongue, but as he slept on the dirty floor of a small inn, the unfamiliarity of the word meant nothing.
Only the consequences it held.
Griffith wiped the sweat off his brow and gazed directly into the eyes of his opponent. He had landed a few punches on his jaw, which left him hurt but not winded. After that he had aimed towards his chest, and now his arm was pulled back to land another blow. The poor fighter was scrawny, a package of bones and skin. Except for being lean, he didn't seem to exercise at all, and ontop of that he didn't have the cold, calculated stare he needed to fight here. It was bad taste, but the eldest Davies' child pummeled him a few more times, all over his body, and stepped ontop of him as he fell. He sent the message through his eyes; stay down and forget about the glory. After one fight he would have to fight them all, even broken and battered and bleeding. Griffith moved off of the boy and let the crowd sun him, with cheers and chaos. Hours later, he was home with the prize money and the concern of his sister bathing him. He brushed it off with claims of falling down, and even though she didn't seem to believe him, her trust overrode the doubt.
The other kids on his street didn't know what difficult was. He'd heard them bitch about their lives - he'd seen them complain and then snort drugs and finish them down with a swig of whiskey. Pain to them was the momentary loss of freedom, the loss of a lover or a supplier. Pain to him was everyday; it had been that way ever since he was young. His parents' divorce and his mother's eventual decline in health and stability was pain. Griffith Davies had been working ever since he was young, at first as an employee at legitimate business and then in the arena, fighting for pay. Only he and his employers knew about his business, and he tried his best to keep it away from his sister and his mother.
The lies, the divorce, the sickness…
The other people he knew didn't know that pain.
And for that, he envied them.
Occupation: Professional fighter.
He fights in the Ulysses Arena as the champion.
Quiet, gentle, and down-to-earth. His personality and mannerisms contrast his profession.
Tegan Davies - His beloved sister. She believes he is still sick, and he lets her believe this. He goes to all ends to keep up this ruse, and only for her sake. He's afraid of how she would handle his fighting at night.
Dirk Adler - He hates Dirk, mainly because he once tried to pull a move on Tegan. Being very protective of his sister, Griffith roughed him up. They haven't been on good terms since.

Matthias Wolters · 21 · Lower Class ·
Greed · Bradley James.
"With mouths full of dirt and weed, and hearts full of lust and greed."
—Justin Moffitt.
A woman he didn't know wrapped her arms around Matthias Wolters, crushing him into her breasts and sobbing for him. His father had been affectionate, but he taught him never to let a tear fall. It was a thing of masculine pride and of endurance and survival; emotion was weakness. Matthias' father would not let his wife cry either, as he hoisted her up with him onto the steps. He set his eyes on his son's, just as he had warned him he would do. As they continued up the steps, his eyes never wavered. Matthias pushed away the woman, trying to get a better view. He climbed up the fence and kept eye contact with his parents.
The young boy's eyes were steady; steady as he watched his parents loop the nooses around their necks and breathe their last breaths.
The night was still and silent, but for the soft sounds of the shovel digging into dirt and Matthias' strained breaths. He tilted the dirt in the shovel and tossed it over his back, dropping the shovel to inspect the grave. It was fronted by an elaborate marble headstone, with a family tree on the back and a life history on the front. The name of the passed noble could mean less to the graveyard keeper, as could his headstone. Though expensive, taking the headstone would be too noticable. Matthias Wolters thrust his hand into the opened ground, brushing over bone and tattered clothing. He pulled out a bejeweled ring and smiled, putting it into his pocket. The young man filled back up the grave with the overturned dirt, and settled in his old house at the edge of the cemetary.
The next morning would be another filled with darting glances, and not because of his thieving habits. The neighbors were scared to speak with the orphan, whose adoptive father died mysteriously of lepresy. They were too scared to speak with the boy who still spent his time taking care of a lot which was no longer even used for burials. But most importantly, they were too scared of his family's legacy. His parents had been hung for their long and violent streak of robberies, most of which had occured before his birth. The valuables they had pawned off were found, and with the scrutiny followed the penalties. Monetary penalties, at first, to repay in full the cost of the valuable. They were only sentenced for execution after the discovery of a robbery gone wrong - one person who tried to be a hero and save their family heirloom. And for this, the neighbors were justly scared.
But if they knew of Matthias Wolters' grave-robbing, the darting stares would turn into more than suspision.
Occupation: Graveyard Keeper.
Ever since his parents died, the old graveyard keeper took care of him. Unfortunately, he contracted lepresy and died, and so the shovel was passed to Matthias.
Critical, snappy, and sarcastic. He doesn't like the company of other people, and shows his disdain for people openly.
Teresa Gaspar - He often opens his home up for other people to rest in, and she has more than once stayed in his company. He doesn't like that she complains often, but he finds it easier to have many people with him as emergency scapegoats.
Helena Reardon - She too has stayed in his home.

Pietro Gismondi · 24 · Upper Class ·
Pride · Sam Claflin.
"While one has pride to love me yet, there's nought on earth shall grieve me."
—Henry Lawson.
His aunt sent him a discolored, bland look, as if surprised he were still in her house. It was common for her to forget about the young Pietro Gismondi, whose parents had left him with her and her own husband while they went to rediscover themselves elsewhere. Letting out a puff of smoke, she turned back to her muttering husband, who was reading the newspaper. Recent killings, he said. They were getting out of control, those lower class idiots. Lady Travers hushed her husband, motioning to the Gismondi heir - her brother's son could hear everything they said, and she didn't need him speaking about it later that night at the dinner table. Her husband nodded apologetically, and then went on to rant about the whorehouses. Pietro looked down at the lighter his aunt had left on the floor, and picked it up gingerly. He hadn't been loved, and he knew very well he wouldn't be. Walking off to his room, he flicked on the lighter and turned off the lights, watching the flame dance and lick at the air. He sat on his bed, staring at the flame. The young Pietro Gismondi had been alone and ignored all his life.
But in that room, he finally made a friend.
Pietro stayed in his room, while his aunt and uncle went downstairs to greet their guests. They kept him hidden as often as possible, even though his existence was well-known. Ever since he had made his bedroom into kindling at a younger age, they did their best to keep him away from other people. No one outside of their circle knew about the incident, but the Travers family knew the workings of York. One whisper could turn into a scream faster than one could blink. Pietro climbed down from his second-floor balcony to the grass below, greeted by a beautiful smile and a fleeting kiss. Dorothea looked him in the eyes and asked him without words - was he ready? He nodded and she handed him a pack of matches, which he excitedly turned around in his fingers, eyes alight with excitement. Only the Gismondi heir knew about the Bauer daughter's hatred to the men who hurt her father. She had rescued him from himself long ago, in a ballroom, after the incident, and in return it was only right that he help her as well. After she hurt the men who hurt her father, she needed to give them a permanent reminder. A quick firebrand, on the back of their neck, was all they needed. Pietro was willing to oblige - blindly, so. One could imagine Dorothea had no trouble manipulating a man with as weak a will as his own, but his own need for someone to love pulled the wool over Pietro's eyes.
Dorothea leaned in and whispered into his ear. They have hurt my father's pride, she said. This is my pride. My pride is your own pride. What is their sentence?
Pietro Gismondi lit the match, and that was all the answer the heiress needed.
Occupation: Errand boy.
He occasionally does small things for people who would need the help, such as chopping down wood or raking a garden.
Introverted, selfless, and naive. He's not a terrible person, and all he looks for is someone to be nice to him.
Dorothea Bauer - He loves her as much as he can possibly love anyone. She picked him up and made him feel like he wasn't just a burden, and because of that he'd do anything, and does anything for her.

Tobias Krauss · 20 · Upper Class ·
Lust · Daniel Sharman.
"Lust is perjured, murderous, bloody, full of blame, savage, extreme, rude, cruel, not to trust."
He stood two feet away from her, his mother hiding behind a fishnet veil she'd fashioned out of some old pantyhose. It was the best she could do, given she had been kicked out of her brothel for being to old to attract customers, and was now an old maid. He remembered the exhaustion which would show on her once-beautiful face, now marred with wrinkles and crow's feet. She would sing to him in her native tongue, and then she would kiss his forehead and tell him that everything would be fine. That her work would pick up and soon they'd be living a wonderful life. He hadn't believed it for a long while, but put on the facade that he did. At least, he hadn't – not until the raider walked into their living room for the first time. An old friend, his mother explained, who knew her from her previous line of work. She rarely discussed her work as an escort, but she held no shame. She did whatever she could to keep things together.
He met the gaze of the Heidrich heiress, who was looking off into the distance and unaware to herself, meeting his gaze as well. She didn't know about the raider and his mother. She didn't know who he was. But she would.
And she would hate him.
Tobias Krauss laughed and clinked glasses with the other stiff-necks he usually surrounded himself with. Someone one and another, each from established political families or families rooted in wealth, born with silver spoons in their mouths. Every single one of the bastards. He knew that they would only flock to him so long as he was rich, but it did not bother him. Each told him secrets and rumors and fed him stories he would never hear outside of the circle. Such as some of the old diplomats' favorite places to pleasure themselves. It did not bother him that they talked of escorts and whores as the same – when he knew better than anyone else the difference. They would often invite him to visit one of the said places, nudge him with lewd smiles and suggest doing all sorts of things to the workers. They would talk about it and then wink at the young ladies walking by, which did not bother him either.
What bothered him was how Agnes ignored him and kept away from him. He had expected she would do such a thing since the first time he met her, but it did not prepare him for the anguish. Tobias watched her intently, watching as the other boys followed his stare and chuckled. He shook his head and said something clever to excuse himself.
No one knew about their ties to each other, and it was a secret shared between them and their mothers and one dead man. He had never felt such a thrill before. A secret.
What would she do to keep it that way?
Occupation: Baker.
His mother hopes to humble him, and has him working at an old friend's cafe.
Witty, charismatic, and ruthless. If he doesn't like someone, or if he wants something, he will go to no ends to be successful in whatever goal he has set.
Agnes Heidrich - He considers himself and Agnes to be on uncertain terms, but he is accustomed to getting his way. As such, he will do backhanded things to get her to be more affectionate to him, or to at least be less hostile.
Lise Claesson - He and Lise bonded over both of their family's histories - as both once were low class but raised to upper class through riches. However, she is obviously uncomfortable around him, and he doesn't enjoy reminiscing about his old lifestyle.

Georgia Car Insurance Quotes
Reader's Question:
I moved from Alabama to Georgia and my car insurance rates increased! Why?
Atlanta GA
The state of Georgia and Alabama have both the same basic coverage of minimum Bodily Injury Liability limits of $25,000 per injured person up to a total of $50,000 per accident, and a minimum limit of $25,000 for Property Damage Liability per accident.
There are several reasons for Alabama and Georgia car insurance rates variations. The first is that there are more population and drivers in the state of Georgia. Alabama had a population of a little over 4.6 million in 2007 while in Georgia they'd a population of 9.5 million. Because of the bigger population, so that means there are more accidents, especially fatalities, in GA than in AL.
Georgia Car Insurance Coverage
The increase in Georgia car insurance rates may be due to the area that you live in. Car insurance is much more costly in cities due to the higher density of traffic, greater probability of theft and vandalism, and higher occurrence of fraud. When you relocated from a more countryside area of AL to a city area of GA your Car insurance rates would increase in part.
It's been reported lately that there was a sudden increase in Georgia car insurance rates. Car insurance premiums have increased nearly seven percent on average because of new law that doesn't demand insurance providers to have state approval before modifying car insurance rates.
Although some insurance providers in Georgia have increased their car insurance rates you may still find some auto insurance companies who've not changed their underwriting standards and premium rates. Additionally, some insurance providers have only minimally increased their car insurance rates while some have gone for that optimum car insurance rate increase. For this reason in Georgia you should look around for the best Georgia car insurance rates possible.
Georgia Car Insurance Discounts
1. Good driving record with no claims in the last 7 years
2. Good credit score with a good payment history
3. Combine other lines of coverage together, like home and auto
4. Buy coverage online (some carriers will deduct $50)
5. Join a credit union, ask about your college or university discount
6. Good student/good grades discounts
7. Raise your deductible amount on Georgia car insurance

8 Ideas to Increase Your Evernote Productivity
We've been using Evernote as our exclusive note manager for both mobile and desktop usage and apparently we're not the only ones who love its functionality. Evernote has seen an impressive spike in users ever since the Mac App Store release only a few days ago. We thought this would be a good time to share some of our favorite ways of using Evernote to help improve our productivity and efficiency both in and out of the office/home.
The fundamental notion behind these 8 ideas is using Evernote as a means of creating constant, yet fluid notes. We still use Evernote as a way to quickly create/delete notes on the fly but we also keep a "Constants" folder which holds all of the notes that we never delete but only alter according to our needs.
1. Where I parked/locked the car/bike This is a common problem with many apps claiming to solve it. We're not particularly app-crazy so we always try to solve a problem with an app we already own rather than downloading a new one. In this case, it is easy to make a new note that will forever hold the current location of your car/bike. This way you never have the sinking feeling in your chest about where you may or may not have left your transportation.
2. Drug store shopping list When do you not need things from the drug store? Between hand soap, paper towels, milk, detergent, etc.. the list seems to never end. This is why we created a "to buy" note that holds our growing list of products to buy. Whenever we think of the item we need, no matter where we are, we add it on the spot so it doesn't slip our minds later when we're at the store.
3. Remember interesting products We're huge book lovers and with the multitude of books constantly being released, reviewed, or discovered, it is crucial we keep a catalog of all the ones we're interested in buying or borrowing. For this, we keep a central Amazon wishlist that houses all of our book-wants. However, it isn't always easy to quickly add a book to the list. This is when Evernote comes in handy. Whenever we see or hear of a book that looks to be of interest, we add it to our note. Later on we'll add it to the main wishlist if we deem it worthwhile.
4. Basic ideas/inspiration This is a very important one to have — kinda like that black notebook writers keep by their bedside to record a thought when inspiration strikes them in the middle of a dream. Sometimes good ideas can be so temporal, coming and going so quickly it is impossible to remember them all. To combat this, we created an Inspiration note where we log away anything that seems to be promising. We use this frequently in museums, the park, coffee shops, etc..
5. Important dates/times Many of us already use some sort of digital calendar to hold our special dates and responsibilities. We're not suggesting this note should replace that — but it should supplement them. Some dates are so important that it wouldn't hurt to have a secondary reminder. Any crucial event gets recorded here and is deleted once it is over.
6. Places to eat Perusing the city streets will always yield a new restaurant find that we hadn't seen before. Quickly jotting down the name and location in our Evernote app is always a good way of remember where the spots we want to eat are when it comes time to pick a place to eat.
7. Before you walk out the door This one has saved our butts on numerous occasions and it could be used two ways. It could be a strict, daily reference point or used for special occasions. If you use it everyday, you can include the things you will always needs (wallets, keys, etc…) and add onto it whenever you think of an item you'll need for a future date. Or, you could save it for special days like the important business meeting where you absolutely need the project file saved on the flash drive or the reminder to take the gift card to the restaurant you're visiting on your dinner date.
8. Trip checklist Having just returned from a week-long trip, this idea was fresh on our minds. Making a trip checklist helps you ensure that you come and go with everything you need. Draft a list before you leave and come packing day, add things one by one as you go down your list. This ensures that you don't miss anything if you were to leave your "what do I pack" conundrum to the final minutes before you head out the door. Next, when you're at your destination, keep an ongoing list of things you purchase (or leave, for whatever reason). This way you will have a second list of things you know you can't leave without, ensuring you won't return home and remember you left your new Statue of Liberty keychain in the hotel's bedside table.

I use Evernote on my iPad for all my recipes and notes from culinary school. I like the ability to search and tag recipes for easy access.
I'm an evernote junkie. Syncing all of my notes to all of my devices is great. One thing that has bugged me lately as someone who switched from safari to chrome, is the terrible chrome plugin. The safari clipper is amazing. The plugin they have built for chrome to grab websites into my notes is terrible. I'm using evernote less and less these days.
I stopped using Evernote a while back. Looks like it's time to give it another go.
I use Evernote instead of bookmarks for a lot of recipe and diy webpages. I use the firefox clipper extension, and it's smooth and perfect. It helps me keep track of my progress on those things.
I had a presentation last quarter, and evernote was amazing. I clipped all the reference material webpages into it, and used my iPad to show graphs, and look up instant info during the presentation. My prof was so impressed with how well the iPad evernote combo went he bought himself a new tablet to play with.
SWEET! I've been wanting a notes app but was overwhelmed by all of the apps in the app store.
Thank you for this post. I'm going to give it a test drive.

Cathy is great. She knows a lot and is always willing to give feedback when asked. Those who object to her teaching styles/personality are most likely jealous or bitter of roles they have not earned. In reality, she can't please everyone and I think she does a DAMN great job of running a very successful MT program!
Cathy is great! Inspiration!

A great teacher, comes up with new and innovative ways of communicating information. If you work hard and are focused then she will be with you every step of the way. You get from her classes exactly what you put in. If you slack off then you get nothing, if you work hard then you will go far.
i love cathy, she is cooky and so much fun!she is a great lady who really wants people to succeed and reach their full potential.People just say that she play favorites because they are unhappy with themselves.You get what you get, not only based on talent, but on attitude as well! boo complainers!
She is the most incredible director I have ever worked with. She is creative, inspiring, caring, and fair. I have learned so much from her both as an actor and a person. I feel like I am truly being prepared for my upcoming professional career. Thank you.
Perf. in MTE
Cathy is fabulous. She changed my life and made me the wonderful performer I am today. I wouldn't have the successfull career I have if it wasn't for her caring mentor relationship. She is one of the most wise people I have met and worked with in my life. You will be lucky to know this fantastic lad
At first she'll ignore you...but if you really love what you do and never give up, she'll notice and she'll be sooooo helpful and supportive. Just make yourself known to her and you'll gain her respect.
plays favorites, hates the other music professors, and she makes damn sure that she gets what she wants. has gotten past professors fired.
She plays her favorites and she isn't always right about your talent. SO just be proud of who you are and don't let her opinion get you down. There are a TON of Alum who didn't have good roles at elon who are working in theatre and have done very well.

The more we find out about alleged Boston bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the more confusing his involvement in the terror plot becomes. The younger suspect is still being described by friends and classmates as a nice, normal guy. But just days after the bombing, it seems the 19-year-old suspected of murdering innocent people at the marathon went out and partied at college as if nothing had happened.
If it's true, one thing is clear: the lack of remorse this move shows casts doubt on folks trying to paint the younger suspect as a normal kid pulled into a sick twisted plot by older brother Tamerlan.
That's the story being told by uncle Ruslan Tsarni, the man who told media this week that his older nephew, the now deceased Tamerlan, was a "loser." The media has found myriad high school and college friends of Dzhokhar who said he was normal kid who showed no signs of the cruelty perpetrated on Monday in Boston and Tsarni supported that with his insistence on the Today Show:
He's just another victim of his older brother. He victimized others, but he's been used by his older brother.
Maybe it's true. Maybe Tamerlan turned his sweet little brother into a terrorist.
But wouldn't a kid who was just being dragged into a plot show some shame?
Show some humility?
Stop partying for God's sake?
Students at UMass Dartmouth, where Dzhokhar was a sophomore, report the bombing suspect was "relaxed" during a dorm party attended by some of his friends from intramural soccer on Wednesday.
More From The Stir: Jeff Bauman: 6 Important Facts About the Bombing Victim & New American Hero
Relaxed? Two days after murdering an 8-year-old child and two innocent adults? After sending hundreds to the hospital, many whose lives are forever changed?
It's as if he thought he deserved to go out and have fun after a rough week.
Little Martin Richard will never have fun again.
As a mother, as a human, I want to look at this younger kid as a victim of his older brother. I've spoken with a lot of mothers and fathers this week who said the same; because of Dzhokhar's age, we looked at him as we did Lee Boyd Malvo, the younger DC sniper who reported being sexually abused by the elder killer, John Allen Muhammad. Malvo was in no way innocent of the crimes, but it was clear the teen had been terrorized as well. Looking at Dzhokhar in a similar manner makes the horror of someone so young being charged with something so terrible a bit easier to take.
Unfortunately, what we wish were true and what truly is don't often match up.
The pattern of the younger suspect's behavior since the bombing paints a picture of a disturbed young man. On Monday night, there was a comment on a Twitter account identified as his, a status that seems to pretend to care about those hurt in the bombing:
Ain't no love in the heart of the city, stay safe people.
On Tuesday, he was already being spotted on campus, as if nothing had gone wrong. And then, on Wednesday, at a party.
These aren't the actions of a kid who is sorry. They're the actions of a grown up who just doesn't care.
What do you make of the bombing suspect partying this week after the murders of innocent people?
Image via Boston Police Department
This is purely devil's advocate, okay? And this is from someone who lives in the Boston area. I think people don't know how to process shock. There is no "normal." I remember someone I know who accidentally shot an employee being accused of reacting with no remorse but those of us who knew him knew he would have done anything to go back in time. He could be just a flat out sociopath. Or he could he known he was screwed and was trying to block reality out. I am wondering why didn't he leave if he didn't want to get caught while he had time? Maybe he wanted to be caught. There is no road map for normal behavior here. Its going to be interesting to see what they find out.
Check out Al Queda's Inspire magazine. They don't just train them how to make bombs, they train them how to blend in including not to share their views. The fact that the older brother had been talked to by the FBI no doubt served as a warning to not talk to anybody about anything like this.
None of these so-called friends seem to have a clue what they thought about anything. I.E. they're superficial relationships. Partying with someone is not the same as hanging around debating the controversies of the day.
We don't know what he was thinking or feeling. If you had done something you regret, a party would be a good distraction to forget it.

The Ultimate Location?
It's an odd sensation, standing somewhere Doctor Who has been filmed. It may just be a normal street, and it really shouldn't feel that special – but it does.
Given the task of picking one Doctor Who location to visit, many would just say 'Cardiff,' and have done with it. Of course, you can go to the Millennium Stadium, which has doubled for the Stormcage Facility, Van Statten's museum, the corridors of Torchwood in The Runaway Bride, and various other places in time and space. Or Eddie's Diner, the Cardiff-based, American-styled cafe where Amy, Rory and River meet with the Doctor after he's been shot. Maybe you could just wander around Roald Dahl Plass and look at the 'the Torchwood hub.'
But there's so much more than that. Just look at the recent news that the series has begun filming in Spain, a country the show has visited twice before. The series has a long history of filming… everywhere!
It would also be too easy to say you want to visit Lime Grove Studio, BBC Television Centre (RIP) or Upper Boat – because don't we all! So where would we all love to go?
Portmeirion is best known for being 'that creepy place where The Prisoner was filmed,' obviously, but Season Fourteen's The Masque of Mandragora was also shot there, doubling for San Martino. There, you can see where the Fourth Doctor escaped execution at Gloriette Piazza, or follow the path of the Mandragora Helix through Bridge House.
The council estate the Doctor, Amy and Rory search around to find the 'scariest place in the universe' in Night Terrors is in Bristol. Waring House can be found on Redcliff Hill, and filming in September 2010 eased Bristolians' anger (a little bit) after the setting of Casualty moved elsewhere.
The creepy greenery where The Flood first surfaced in s can be explored at the National Botanic Gardens of Wales, while Victoria Place is the home of Adelaide.
Doubling for a French avenue, the driveway of White Plains – a residential house for the elderly in Denham – was the first location used for Doctor Who; though it's where the first Doctor is seen wandering about, the Time Lord was actually played by Brian Proudfoot, as William Hartnell was busy rehearsing!
Doctor Who's even been allowed to film at Stonehenge.
I could go on forever.
Personally, I'd love to visit two places in particular. Well, two places that immediately spring to mind anyway.
Firstly, who wouldn't want to go to Monument Valley and Lone Rock Beach in Utah? Other than the stunning vistas, these two locations are of interest because they were used in The Impossible Astronaut/ Day of the Moon – and various flashbacks throughout series six! Monument Valley was seen extensively, in particular when the TARDIS team meet up again and a Stetson is brutally murder by River.
Lone Rock Beach is best known as Lake Silencio, where the 'Doctor' was 'killed.' It's so famous, even the Tesselacta have the lowdown on it!
And finally returning to the classic series, how about Oldbury Power Station in Thornbury, where a possessed Sarah Jane revived Eldrad in The Hand of Fear?
The actual station is private, naturally, but you can still get some good exterior views. Tragically, however, the power station was decommissioned last month, after threats of closure since 2008; a fact that will bring a tear to the eye of even the most stone-faced Whovian.
Maybe they could turn it into a Doctor Who museum…?
What about you? Do you have a Doctor Who location that you would particularly love to visit? Let us know in the comments below.
7 Responses to The Ultimate Location?
My favourite ever is, without any doubt, "Bad Wolf Bay". I've been there once and I'm going back there soon again. It also is a "neverending" location, since they keep using that beach again and again.
Then I'd love to visit "Wester Drumlins" from "Blink", even though there's no public access.
And I agree that I'd love to go to "Lake Silencio" too.
Another place I loved seeing was Rose's house in Cardiff… the location where she first walks with the Doctor and the TARDIS is shown for the first time in the new series… that was awesome too!
I really liked the location shots for Full Circle . I've always wanted to go there.
I live in London so have seen many locations here. Butlers Wharf near Tower bridge was one of the first places I went to in the mid eighties. That location worked well.
Maybe the production team could pick a different British town or city to be used for at least one story every season….
Overseas location filming is great, I hope they can move further afield in the future.
My personal favourite is Trent Park/Middlesex University (Mawdryn Undead). We've held a picnic annually there for over a decade now, and it's been interesting to see how it subtly changed over the years. Not to mention making new Who friends, too!
The other favourite is Dungeness (The Claws of Axos), not leastly because that was where I went on my 'first date' with my partner!
I've been to:
Eddie's Diner (Had dinner there twice while sitting in the seat where River sat while they discussed the diaries)
Cardiff Bay
Ianto's Shrine
Clearwell Caves
Raglan Castle
Caerphilly Castle
Cardiff Castle
Chepstow Castle
Llandaff Cathedral
The Street from the Lodger
Bad Wolf Bay
and I'm from Edinburgh!
There are so many fantastic locations I've been to so far. St Mary's Church in Marshfield (where Donna gets married), the DVD shop from Blink, Puzzlewood (The forest on the Byzantium), but the nicest location I've visited so far has to be the beautiful village of Skenfrith as seen in Amy's Choice.
From the Classic Series I have been to East Hagbourne (Android Invasion), Hound Tor (Sontaran Experiment), the steps of Saint Paul's Cathedral (Invasion. From new Who I have been to the shop used as Magpie Electrics, Cardiff Bay, Castell Coch (Journey's End), Caerphilly Castle, Cardiff Castle, Stonehenge, Llancaiach Fawr Manor erm and other places. I'm sure there are others

Slowly coming back to life, this is the car today. As Herb says, "Some 'craftsman' used a cutoff saw to remove and relocated some of the rollcage tubes." There is plenty of rust too, so it's getting a full rotisserie restoration back to once again be a streetable road race car. He's hinting that he'd like to be invited to the Optima Ultimate Street Car Invitational, too.

A Corvette for $3,600? How good could it be? Last week a friend of mine gave me a slip of paper with the phone number. He said it's a '77 'Vette. Not the most collectible model, but hey . . . $3,600? Seems the owners owe the bank some small change, but since it is hard to pay all the bills right now, they are willing to sell the car for just what they owe on it. Even that is hard to believe. There must be more to the story, but who knows? Since I just blew all my "loose chnge" on an Indian motocycle, I'm not rushing into another deal, but it is tempting. What do you think?

Added May 4, 2013

Ouidah, Benin
I meant to make only the top from Simplicity 2594, but I had too much scrap fabric and couldn't justify stashing it so I added a paneled drop skirt. The skirt consists of simple trapezoids: 6 print panels plus 4 solid red panels for a total of 5 in the front and 5 in the back. I also added side seam pockets with the scrap.
At least I started off with an effort to make more basics, but it seems I can't avoid making dresses.
The fabric is a Ghanaian brand (Da Viva) but I bought it in Benin. The fabric is stiff, so I soaked it in a bucket of water for a day to soften it up so the neckline would drape nicely. Otherwise there was major poofage around the chest.
I volunteer in an art and music school in Benin, so that explains the background: it's student work in my classroom.
I wrote more in my sewing journal here: http://cathywu.com/journal/treadling/2013/05/04/simplicity-2594-top-a-scrap-panels-another-drop-waist-dress/

I always forget about using carrots in this manner and they are so easy and delicious! Made with the Manhattan glazed chicken and the wilted spinach from same issue. Had to use the bagged "baby" carrots as real ones are not available yet in local markets...but spring is on the way and I'll be using this recipe again.
Glazed Baby Carrots

straightscallop Posted: 03/19/13
The liquid didn't really get "syrupy," so I added a bit of cornstarch. But while I was trying to get it to the desired consistency, the carrots went a bit soft. Next time, I'll add the cornstarch from the get-go, which should clear it right up.
steponme Posted: 03/27/13
Pretty good, the vinegar adds a little tartness as another reviewer said, it balances out some of the sweetness. I would make these again.
Tumbles Posted: 03/19/13
Super easy and delicious. I was a bit skeptical about the vinegar but it added just the right amount of acid to balance out the sweetness of the carrots and brown sugar. I bought a bag of the baby carrot medley in the fresh produce of my grocery store, had orange, yellow and purple baby carrots -- was a beautiful dish!
daneanp Posted: 05/09/13
Very flavorful but on the sweet side. I might cut back on the sugar a little next time. It took a bit longer to steam than the recipe called for and my carrots were pretty small. All in all, I'd probably do 15 minutes total cooking time.
Nattymom Posted: 04/18/13
I made this as a side dish with Roasted Chicken for Easter. Using a bag of baby carrotts made it easy. The adults all like it but the kids were not a fan. We will make again.
mongoexplorer Posted: 07/26/13
I didn't like the vinegar taste - I thought it would be sweeter. I think if I tried this recipe a second time, use white wine instead of vinegar.
zildraw Posted: 07/25/13
JNBank Posted: 08/10/13
Like another reviewer said it didn't get syrupy. Not much flavor. I've made better carrot recipes from cooking light.

The Detroit Tigers shocked the baseball world when they traded Prince Fielder to the Texas Rangers last week. That left the team with a hefty hole at first base, a hole that MVP Miguel Cabrera would like to fill as he recently told Venezuelan newspaper El Universal he wants to shift positions.
"I've told the
#Tigers I want to play 1B": AL two-time MVP @MiguelCabrera to Venezuelan daily newspaper El Universal ( @EUDeporte)
Cabrera of course is a former outfielder who moved to third base.
While not the most nibble of defenders, Cabrera does have a solid glove – it's just getting a glove on the ball that has become a problem (in addition to playing bunting scenarios due to his lack of speed). It's a move the Tigers may possibly look into given those factors, though finding a third baseman is far more difficult than a first baseman. Add in that first base is usually an offensive position, the team could replace such production at first easier than they'd be able to do at third.

Jason is a basketball star and one of the most popular guys in school. Brainy Kyra isn?t, but she doesn?t care what other people think. Normally, the two would live in their separate worlds until graduation. But fate intervenes, and the unlikely duo is paired up for a class project. Kyra soon realizes that Jason is not the dumb jock she anticipated. And Jason finds himself telling Kyra things he can?t even tell his best friend. As the two start to fall in love, no one in school can believe it, especially Jason?s ex-girlfriend, who is determined to get him back.

Personality is a hidden roleplaying mechanic that affects a character's interactions with NPCs in the world. The initial personality is determined by how the player answers biography questions during character creation and is refined by the most recent 100 encounters with particular NPCs.
The game keeps track of three aspects of personality: Charisma, Ferocity and Dignity, whose sum was 100%. Dialogue choices are able to affect the personality by increasing one aspect and thereby decreasing the others. For example, constant bullying of shopkeepers might increase ferocity to a point that the character becomes barbaric. Similarly, frequent cunning will lead to a reputation as a scoundrel.
|Initial Personality
|Trouble may follow, but I use my _____ to overcome it.
|Charm — I'm charming. No one can resist me when I'm at my best. I know just what to say to lighten the mood or bolster courage.
|Dignity — I'm dignified even when up to my ears in mud. It's what makes people respect me. A serious, thoughtful demeanor is the route to success.
|Ferocity — I'm ferocious. Threatening violence gets me further than anything else. I'm a natural, though I do try to use my powers of intimidation for good.
Personality affects gameplay by offering certain dialogue options only to some types and altering the reactions of certain NPCs. However, the game was designed to avoid extreme consequences, i.e. players are able to take on different personality types without fear of losing out on overall rewards or benefits.
[edit] Personalities
There are 10 different personalities a character can take on. Until the April 2014 Feature Pack, the personality icon was next to the class icon on the hero panel and showed which personality the character had at that time. The only way to find out about a character's personality now is through unique dialogue choices with NPCs.
[edit] Notes
- Personality appears to have been hidden on April 15, 2014.
- Dialogue choices still offer personality-affecting responses, but there is no way to see the character's total anymore.
- Character creation still features a personality choice for one's background.
- More personalitiy options in dialogues were removed on September 9, 2014.

Categories > Cartoons > Teen Titans > Aftermath Chronicles: To Love and Hate You
In The Dark3 Reviews
Raven received a surprise visitor late at night while Changeling plots revenge, not knowing that he loves and hates the same person.
Chapter Four: In the Dark
Cyborg drove Raven to the Brewers café in silence. Gone was her uniform, she couldn't be seen as Raven in public. To jump City, she was Angel by day, Raven by night; that was how it was. Being Raven in public in broad daylight was like painting a target on her shirt that said "Kill Me," she'd keep her identity a secret. She'd be safe that way.
She climbed out a block away from the building and went inside. It was early and the place hadn't been opened yet. She unlocked the doors, went through the inventory, and made sure everything was ready. She flipped on the open light and waited for costumers to walk in.
The café was bustling with people as Angel served them their orders. Smiling and laughing, she engaged in light conversation with people. Conversations buzzed around her, but a certain subject caught her eye. She cleaned a table nearby a costumer who was talking about an article in the newspaper. "It was rumored that the Raven was seen battling the Changeling. This type of thing hasn't happened since the Titans were here." She heard the voice of Gar butt in, "Really?"
"Yeah, it's kind of special, ya know?"
"Special? What do you mean by 'Special?'" he asked.
"Well, mister, the Titans were the defenders of Jump City. They took care of us, ya see. They disbanded 10 years ago, and now it appears they're back."
"Ah, I see," Gar chuckled, ""Heroism, everyone needs it. I find it very fascinating."
"You're actually reading that? That kind of stuff belongs in the tabloids, not he newspaper." Angel commented as she picked up dirty dishes and put them on a tray.
"You're crazy lady, like I was sayin' the Titans are special. We've been needin' them for a long, long time. This place's become a mess without 'em; let me tell ya. I'm always havin' to watch my back, knowing that their gone, I can't even leave the windows open in my car, 'fraid I'll get robbed." The man finished his coffee. "Well, Mister Gar, was nice chattin' with ya. I got to get back to work."
The man turned to him, "Oh, I'll pay my bill."
"No need. I've got it." Gar said and placed the money on the table. "He looked up at Angel, still standing there, "So, how are you?" he asked pleasantly.
"I'm fine, and you?"
"Good," he replied, "for the most part. My business has hit some hard times. It should soon be over though." "Oh, " she said, peering at the newspaper headline: The Raven Returns?" the subheading read: Legendary Titan Battles the Changeling". She frowned, "You actually read that trash?" she asked.
Gar chuckled, "I am quite fascinated by this 'trash"." He said, "So what do you think?" He gestured to the seat across from him,
"Please, sit down."
Angel accepted his offer; it was her 15-minute break anyway. "Well," she began, thoughtful, "how do they know this Raven person is actually real. I mean; this could be a prank or something."
"Well, it seems legit enough. The article here shows several pictures of this Raven through the years and I guess this is the real one."
"I see," Angel replied. "So why do you think she's resurfaced all of a sudden?"
"To overthrow Changeling," Gar replied simply. "Do you think she'll be able to do it?" Gar shrugged, "Who knows? What little I know about Changeling, can be summed up in this: The man can disappear without a trace. He can hide anywhere."
"That's very interesting," Angel said, smiling. "Well, my break's almost up, can I get you anything Gar?"
"No," he replied. "All I needed was to see you." He chuckled as he saw color come to her face. "I'll see you around, Gar."
"I'll see you later, Angel," he said as she walked away, he smiled, "Much later."
It was late at night, and Angel was closing the café. It'd been one of the busiest days she'd had in awhile, and she was exhausted. She quietly put the money in the safe, making sure no one was watching her use the combination as she closed the safe door. She checked all the doors and windows; they were sealed shut and locked so no intruder could enter without setting off the alarm. She sighed, it was time for her to head to Titans Tower; they were expecting her for their meeting concerning Changeling.
She walked silently towards the door. She grabbed the handle and twisted the knob; unexpectedly, she felt a pair of arms wrap themselves around her body. Angel jumped and opened her mouth in a scream when she heard a voice say in a husky whisper, "Hello, Angel."
"Gar, what are you doing here? I thought you left."
"I told you I would see you later," his voice was soft, his hands pressed gently against her waist, "So here I am."
"Gar, let go of me," her voice was stern and demanding. She didn't like his closeness and his touch made her nervous. "Why?" he asked, she felt his lips brush her neck, "Are you afraid of me, Angel?" His hands moved from her waist to her shoulders, gently turning her to face him.
She stared into the darkness, knowing he was there staring at her. "I'm not afraid of you Gar, it's just-"
"It's just what?" he asked.
"It's just-I don't like you touching me."
"Why? Gar asked, he slid a hand from her shoulder, up her neck to her face and stroked it gently, "I won't hurt you," his voice was tender and he leaned in closer. He felt her trembling at his touch.
. "I know you wouldn't-" Gar cut off her sentence with a kiss.
He could feel her shock as he continued his kiss as he gently ran his fingers through her hair, feeling her body tremble gently as he pulled her back deeper into the café. He backed up until he came to the chair he'd set up, sitting, he pulled her into his arms holding her as he continued kissing her.
Gar pulled away, breathless as clasped her to him, smiling in the dark, he whispered, "I told you I wouldn't hurt you." Angel was in a state of shocked confusion as she felt his lips meet hers. This was totally unexpected and she felt flustered and somewhat embarrassed, although he couldn't see it in the dark, she was blushing bright red. His kiss and touch overwhelmed her senses and her embarrassment melted away as she collapsed into his embrace. He felt so good, she found herself responding to his affection with her own, she slid her arms around his waist and up his back, causing him to kiss her hungrily.
They pulled away breathless, he held her quietly as they both caught their breath. "Why are you doing this?" she asked him, questioningly.
"Because," he said, "the moment I laid eyes on you, I fell in love with you." He shifted so he could be more comfortable. "Besides," he chuckled, "your so gorgeous, how could I not fall for you?" he stroked her cheek in the dark. "I'm sure you need to go somewhere, so I should be leaving now." He kissed her lips softly, "Good night, my beautiful Angel, I'll see you again soon." He pulled himself out of the embrace. He quietly ushered her to the door. She locked it as he walked away. Angel watched him in silence and wondered what she had just done and why she did it.
Gar let the feeling of euphoria wash over him as he drove back to his headquarters; she was beautiful and mysterious. He found both alluring. He'd never had these kinds of feelings towards anyone. Not like this, he loved this girl, this beautiful Angel, who had stolen his hear away with her mysterious nature and subtle attractiveness. He stopped himself, he was wrong in one area, he had had feelings like this, but they were towards another person. Raven. She'd broken his heart and he never forgave her for it. He sat back and began to remembering...
"Raven, there's something I need to tell you," Beast Boy said quietly standing behind her.
"What's that, Beast Boy? She asked in complete monotone.
"I just wanted to tell you that I-" He began to stutter and stammer, "I-"
"What is it Beast Boy?" her voice sounded somewhat harsh.
"I love you Raven, I always have. And I hope that-You could love me in return."
She turned to him, her face an emotionless mask. "I can't love you Beast Boy."
"Why?" he demanded, grabbing her shoulders as she tried to turn away from him "Why?"
"Because," Raven replied, "I can't."
You can't?" he said angrily, "You can't?! Or you won't!" Raven continued walking away from him.
"I can't love you Beast Boy, I'm sorry, we are disbanding now, and I'm going to leave. Goodbye Beast Boy, I'll miss you." She said those final words as she climbed down the stairs and back into Titans Tower.
"I poured my heart out to you; I told you how I felt," he said to the air, "You've rejected me and I hate you Raven. I swear I'll never love you again. I swear that if we ever meat again, I will kill you; because you killed me already."
Gar shook the memory away; but he let it remain for a moment, in his mind. Yes, Raven had come back to Jump City. He would kill her, and soon because she would run out of places to hide. He arrived at his headquarters at the warehouse. He stormed into his office in a raging silence that struck terror into any who happened to be in his way. He sat down and waited until his most trusted spy came in. "What news do you have for me?" he demanded, "for your sake it'd better be good. I'm not in a good mood."
"Sir, Titans Tower is operational." He said,
Changeling threw him his money, he glared, "Get out of my sight!" and the man left without question, not wanting to be the target of his wrath. Changeling smiled in the dark. 'We'll meet again soon, Raven. Very soon, and I promise that I will kill you. And I've never broken my promises."

SANTEE, S.C. (AP) - Crews are beginning to pick up branches, trees and other debris from the sides of South Carolina's interstates after the ice storm earlier this month.
The state Department of Transportation is asking drivers to be careful as the crews will be on the shoulders of Interstate 26 and Interstate 95 and there will be some occasional lane closures.
The crews started on I-95 on Saturday. They are going both north and south from the I-26 interchange.
The DOT says additional crews will start removing debris from I-26 on Monday. The work will begin at the I-95 interchange and go both east and west.

What is a Rock 'n Roll Bride anyway?
I am an avid reader of Kat's Rock 'n Roll Bride blog.
Thought I'd share what she believes (and I totally agree with). Here's an excerpt from her About section of the blog:
"Rock 'n Roll Bride (Noun) A rock 'n roll wedding is a wedding where the couple actually acknowledge that to plan a good wedding, they have to incorporate themselves and plan what they love for their day. They laugh in the face of the wedding industry and the wedding magazines that tell them what they need to do to make a 'good wedding'.
It's not about being 'cool', being a rebel or even thinking of the most unique idea you can, it's about planning a wedding that reflects you and your partner and declaring your love in your way.

2. The steps in the wind down process
- Alternative is added - new addresses are added for each person belonging
to the new unit, and for the unit generics, so they can start to be used immediately. No
new people are assigned the old address (the unit is marked as univ opt 6 in the
Registration Database- a unit in wind down - this value gets into
ldap.oak). Users should notify their contacts of a change of address e.g. but putting it in a signature file.
- New address is made the default. The timing of making the new unit the default sending address on Nexus and being the address that get passed to other depts is done in consultation with the Department - usually the administrator and ITSS. The default sending address on IMAP email clients will be unaffected.
- Personal automated warning sent An automated warning message 3 months before email address expiry is sent to the people affected. People themselves should search for the occurrence of the old address in recent incoming messages in INBOX and contact the senders. (Postmaster may be able to provide ITSS with lists of people who are receiving mail or sending mail to/from the old address.)
- Email address fail All mail sent to that domain will fail to be delivered.
- Tailored failure message It is possible to set up a tailored failure
message such that people sending to the domain can get e.g. "You emailed
firstname.lastname@example.com"This is not something that is configurable per person- it is for the whole mail domain and has to be requested by the department.
- The domain is de-registered by Postmaster. This can happen at any time. The tailored message has rapidly decreasing value over time and has the disadvantage of returning potentially good addresses to spammers. Suggest 6 months as the default, if a tailored message is set up - other wise as soon as possible after the addresses fail.
