With unique powers and abilities, you must grow and come together to stop an insurmountable supervillain who threatens to unleash chaos upon the world. Get ready for an epic adventure filled with action, teamwork, and the chance to become the heroes your world needs.
The Setting
The campaign is set in the bustling metropolis of Liberty Falls, a sprawling urban landscape filled with towering skyscrapers, bustling streets, and a diverse population. Liberty Falls is a hub of technological advancement and a hotbed for both heroes and villains. Superpowers are a common occurrence, with individuals from various backgrounds harnessing extraordinary abilities.
The Villain
Omega Nexus
Secret Identity: Victor Williams
Victor Williams is a seemingly ordinary individual who appears as a helpful ally to the heroes in the early stages of the campaign. He is a mild-mannered scientist working at a prestigious research institute, known for his genius intellect and dedication to advancing technology for the betterment of society. Unbeknownst to the heroes, Victor is actually the supervillain known as Omega Nexus.
Backstory
Victor Williams grew up with a fascination for technology and a thirst for knowledge. He excelled in his studies, particularly in the fields of robotics and artificial intelligence. However, his ambition and desire for power led him down a dark path. Victor became obsessed with achieving immortality and gaining ultimate control over all technology.
Through his research, Victor discovered ancient texts that spoke of a mystical artifact known as the Nexus Crystal, said to grant unimaginable power to its possessor. Driven by his obsession, he dedicated his life to finding the crystal and unlocking its secrets.
Transformation into Omega Nexus
After years of searching, Victor finally located the Nexus Crystal deep within a hidden chamber. As he touched the crystal, it infused him with tremendous power, transforming him into the supervillain Omega Nexus. With his newfound abilities, Omega Nexus could (input whatever drives your story/ campaign.
Embracing his new identity, Omega Nexus adopted a suit of advanced armor, enhancing his strength and granting him even greater control over technology. He vowed to reshape the world according to his vision, where he would reign supreme as the ultimate ruler.
Goals and Motivations
Omega Nexus seeks to bring the world under his control, eliminating any opposition in his path. His motivations stem from a belief that only through his rule can humanity reach its true potential. He sees himself as a benevolent dictator, guiding society towards progress and eradicating all forms of chaos and inequality.
To achieve his goals, Omega Nexus plans to exploit his secret identity as Victor Williams. He will gain the trust of the heroes and work alongside them, all the while subtly manipulating events to further his own agenda. He will provide valuable information, resources, and technology to aid the heroes in their fight against other villains, all the while biding his time until he can reveal his true nature and crush those who stand in his way.
The Heroes

Detroit is the largest city in Michigan, and while I'm not from there (which probably makes my opinion invalid), it looks like a very beautiful city to me.
There's just a certain feel or charm with the old skycrapers of Downtown, the big island city park of Belle Isle, New Center with it's automotive industry, Boston-Edison and Indian Village with their old money homes, Corktown and Mexicantown with their 19th century homes and iconic train station, the riverwalk that is often ranked best in the country, and Eastetn Market with their sheds filled with food and life. I could go on!
I think it also has a lot of history and culture and very prideful people of their city. With coney dogs, deep dish pizza, Motown Records, and popular sports teams like the Lions and Red Wings, the fact that its a very diverse city with African Americans, Polish, Irish, Germans, Jewish, Mexicans, Arabs, and many more living in or near Detroit!
I feel that Detroit could bounce back and be the next big city in 10-15 years like how Austin or Raleigh are, (hopefully with less displacement of the local population), with it having a borderline perfect location, and wouldn't be as affected by climate change as many southern cities.
In the main downtown area, a lot of development is going on, and is safer, walkable, and cleaner than many downtowns in the US.
It gets a bad rep due to its crime and blight, and while many of it is arguably deserved, it doesn't take away the fact that this city is a rusted pearl in the great lakes region.

Hello, I'm a 44 year old man here in downtown NYC. I'm in pretty decent shape, great career, mentally balanced, healthy, and looking for an ongoing connection that can blossom into something real. I am the type to start a little slow, as our busy schedules allow, and then see what unfolds naturally. I am fairly free, but have a kid I see every other weekend and have hobbies and friends too. Nevertheless I am available and will make time for the right person
I feel that I have my life together, for the most part (!), and my general disposition has always been to be a happy, curious person. I'm a clean cut, suit and tie kind of guy for work but casual otherwise. I like to spend my time reading (esp public health, and the impact of social media on human connection), attempting to be health-conscious, pop culture. I like to think I excel at baking healthy snacks, I really like jazz, and I’m a huge film buff, pretty big music fan, like being a foodie, keeping up with current events. I like good conversation, snuggles, laughing. I speak a second language but... am pretty rusty!
You: Single, fairly balanced, intellectually curious, mentally balanced, average body type, have a few interests and keep yourself occupied! Open minded. I don't usually click too well with people who are too clingy, and being pretty drama free is important to me. Doing something productive with life will be helpful. Able to laugh is something increasingly rare but pretty important.
If you write please be sure to state age, location, a few hobbies or interests (a physical description is always helpful too), and we can start a conversation and see where it leads.
look forward to chatting
thanks ;)

The car dropped me off the middle of downtown, the neon lights and billboard videos were everywhere, it was a little flashy for my taste, honestly. I like some things about the city, but the mass crowds, mobs, really… they just don’t suit me. Maybe because I’m a swapper? Maybe because it’s just too busy, and it doesn’t fit with my desire to do nothing.
I craned my head back and looked up at the high tower where my target lived and probably worked. ‘I have to hand it to this country, they’re very precise.’ I mused, the exact number of his residence… I briefly considered a dramatic entrance, sprouting wings and shooting up from the ground like a superhero and smashing into the window in the form of an avenging angel.
But that… no. ‘Everybody in this country has a camera. Sooner or later I’d have to explain it, then goodbye vacations to Earth for at least a hundred years.’ I dismissed my melodramatic thought and went about it another way.
There wasn’t much I knew about Yakuza types, but odds are they owned the building he was living in. They’re a pretty efficient organization, all things considered.
That meant… “Alright they’ll have security.” I mumbled, ‘Invisibility is so boring!’ I cursed under my breath when I realized how easy that would be. I began tapping my feet on the curve as thunder rumbled overhead and clouds began to threaten rain, lightning flickered in the sky, it wouldn’t be long before I’d get drenched standing here… ‘Then I’ll have to do laundry…I hate laundry.’
I really wanted to be dramatic and make a point… ‘Fine.’ I rolled my eyes.
I walked through the front of the building, the glass doors, clean and perfect, slid open, and true to my expectations not only was there a slender woman working behind a computer, the elevator controls were not ‘by’ the elevator.
They were on the wall behind her alcove where a very large man in a black suit stood wearing a sword on his hip. ‘Huh, and I thought that was just for the movies… the gun laws here are stricter than I thought.’
Even if I couldn’t do things quite the way I wanted, I could do something else. I was an unusual sight at least, and that curious look that I drew from the pair became cautious. Her hand reached beneath her desk, while the large fellow by the elevator controls squared off to face me.
I pulled out the wallets and watched the two relax.
“Excuse me, I’m so sorry to bother you, but I came to return these. ‘Wait, if nobody catches me… did it really happen?’ I had to wonder. It wasn’t like anybody ever checked… and these guys were scum, nobody would care…and if they were out of the way?
Obviously I couldn’t do anything to the whole building. And that was overkill even in my line of work.
“They were dropped at the Toriyama store in the Shinjai district.” I explained, and the relaxed air was gone as what I said sank home.
“Floor one zero six.” The woman said, and I could swear she looked at me with pity.
“Oh… but um, the addresses on here are-” I fluttered my eyelashes at the pair and put on a nice, innocent voice.
“She said what she said.” The musclehead interrupted.
I put on a pouty face, “Oh… OK, but can’t you…?” I stopped when he hit the elevator control for me and the golden doors slid wide open.
“Alright… I’ll… I’ll go.” I darted my head over my shoulder like I was thinking about leaving, maybe making a run for it, then clutched my purse and scurried through the door.
I’m not a half bad actress if I do say so myself. I smirked and cracked my knuckles as I went up to the very top floor.
I was fairly sure I would have a welcoming party for me, and as I went up, I realized that the die was cast. ‘If I’m defending myself…’
[E’grahcrevo rettahs dna tlem] I cast the spell with my hand behind my back and against the elevator, and an electrical pulse went up and down the building, frying the electronic components just as the elevator came to a halt. I did not envy whoever had to try to fix those later.
The lights shattered, plunging everything into darkness. With no cameras, no lights, no nothing, I had no reason to fear getting caught.
So… I swapped. My arms thickened and the mana of my body began to expand around my core self, greatly increasing my size, from a human woman slightly over a meter and a half tall, to a nine and a half foot tall creature of the Fletosian wastelands, with razor sharp claws and a gigantic maw that could bite a man in half… it was a good look.
I could hear them shouting, asking for answers…answers I would give them, but that they wouldn’t need.
I let out the roar of the Fletosian warbeast, and shoved my hands through the metal elevators in one clean thrust. Light began to stream in, and screams of alarm went up.
I’m sure they were expecting a small woman that could be intimidated into answers.
But it was my answers that were the intimidation.
I stepped into the room, hard, cracking and shaking the floor as tore the elevators free and stepped into view. Screams went up, and a shot went off.
‘Alright so a few of them have guns.’ I chuckled and backhanded the nearest of the set, they were stepping back, their guns blazing, the flashes giving brief glimpses of my horror as I stalked toward them one after another. I was in front of the exit. There was no way out.
They were trapped in here with me. The doors were electronic, and there wasn’t even any backup power, I’m sure the lower floors, at least a few down, heard it all, for all the good it would do.
My claws ripped through another, who toppled with a howl.
I will spare you the details.
It wasn’t hard to figure out who the one in charge was, he was the oldest, backing away while the younger ones tried to defend him and themselves. All the while I was wondering… which is more likely to get me caught? Leaving them alive, or dead? That’s what the question came down to… if they were dead, the human authorities might investigate, and I was seen in my normal disguise…
‘Damnit… in your desire to not get wet and to play the Queen of the stage, you made a mistake, Kayobi… if they’re alive, it’ll stay nice and unofficial. Just a warning.’ I told myself, and one by one I picked them up and smashed them against the wall, if they moved or got up, I picked them up, squeezed out a scream, and smashed them there again.
Until there was one old man left with a balding scalp and surprisingly quick hands digging through a desk. He pulled out a handgun and leveled it at my chest with trembling hands.
I stopped as if the desk were a real obstacle. “Shoot me.” I said in a gutteral echoing monster voice that I borrowed from some old movies.
The gun went off. “Again.” I ordered him.
Again he shot, his lips were trembling so much I could see his teeth reflect each flash as his noise of fear became a high pitched whine, and I waited until he emptied the entire clip to no avail.
I held out the wallets and dropped them on the desk between the two of us. He looked down.
“Take them.” I said, and one hand came away from the weapon which… he was still dry firing at me as if a bullet would magically appear.
He then took the wallets and shoved them in his pocket.
‘I forgot to come up with a cool name for myself?! How did I do that?! How do I forget the cool nickname?!’ I cursed myself and just breathed hard and heavy, the hot breath kissed his sweating face, my open maw was like a chasm of doom just waiting to swallow him up.
“Shinjai. Belongs. To the Devil of Shinjai. Never. Come. Again. Or next time, I will paint this room with your blood.” I said, my bright amber eyes gleaming down at him, my grayish blue flesh gave me an almost ghostly look as the lightning outside that began in earnest, flashed and reflected against my body.
He nodded, numb, disbelieving… he was making noises that might have been words, but they didn’t want to come out.
I reached up to his gun and closed my hand over his, each finger was as thick as his whole hand, and a hundred times as strong. I began to tighten my grip, and he yanked his hand away while I crushed the weapon like tissue paper and dropped it on his desk.
“Never.” I warned him one more time.
“N-ever.” He vowed and looked at the heap of battered and broken yakuza.
I could read his face like a book, he was wondering if they were alive.
They were. But they’d be worse for wear and probably need a lot of stitches.
Wings began to emerge from my back, and I went to the wall full of windows and smashed them open, the high, howling winds blew papers around everywhere and rain began to seep into the building, I gave him one more lingering look… and jumped, spreading my wings, I began to fly home, watching his dumbfounded, stupid expression as I began to shrink into the distance.
He was probably already questioning everything about what happened, but he couldn’t very well report it to the police, and the injuries were real. With no record, and nobody willing to talk, it would be a drunken rumor and nothing more… and my little home away from home would be quite peaceful.
I made a mental note, ‘Make sure those bills get paid tomorrow, then I need to contact Celia… I’ll need her help next.’ I thought, and yawned as I realized it was late, and I still needed to eat, then sleep… then get up the following morning and…
‘Oh my… this is going to be a lot… I might need help after all.’ I shivered to think of all the shows that I might miss, but then on the other hand…
‘It’ll be a great day for binge watching.’ I thought with a smile as my place finally came back into view, and the rain began to pour.

I’m looking for a men’s retail shop that sells nice clothes, like dress shirts, polos, slacks, suits, etc. So far, I’ve only found one and it was on Broad Street near downtown. It looked like someone went to rummage sales buying two dollar shirts and selling them for retail. Anyone know a better place? Thx!

So since I’m graduating this summer from university I’m going to start looking for a job. I have a bachelor’s degree in philosophy, a master in International Politics and a second master in Economics. I love to analyse political and economic issues, and I have a particular interest for everything that has an intercultural or international aspect. However looking for a first job is kind of overwhelming to be honest, since I don’t know what I’m looking for or what is a good job. I’m fluent in Dutch English and French and I’ve just finished an internship at a Belgian embassy. I thought about applying for the bluebook internship at the EU Commission, but I know it probably won’t get me a job there so I don’t know if it’s worth it (and it would start in February so I would have to a get a job in the meantime anyway). The consultancy sector seems interesting but I don’t know if my degrees are relevant for the jobs they’re offering. The private sector is obviously huge, but I have no idea what it has to offer or what would suit me. Any advice or help? PS: I don’t want to be a millionaire but having a decent pay is important since I want to help my mother out with her bills.

Hello everyone! I hope that you all enjoy this next installment!
Edit: Thank you so much to u/spartawolf for making a fantastic narration of part one of The Armored Terran! It came out really nice and I appreciate him doing that.

“It’s a message from the United Terran Security Council. It says, ‘Due to a confirmed Scenario 7, effective immediately, all nonessential Terrans not in Terran space are required to report to their nearest embassy.’” I looked up at Aeva. “This is bad, very bad.”
They immediately sat up from the lying position that they were in. “Wait, why? What does that mean? Is that bad?” they asked.
“Well, I suppose that depends on your definition of bad. Because for humans, it’s pretty bad. Basically, there are ten different senarios that United Nations of Terra have drawn up with the help of the Security Council that outlines different possible things that could happen. Those range from scenario one, where the secret goes out and nothing really changes, all the way to ten, where the secret goes out and the entire Galactic Community is gunning for us, so to speak.” I could see the look of confusion on the much larger dinosaur’s face as I said that. I took a deep breath and continued. “So, what that means is that the Security Council believes that there is a very real possibility that at least two or more different members of the Galactic Community will declare war on us as soon as the news gets out. That’s why all Terrans are going to the embassies because those things are built like fortresses.”
Aeva taking a moment processing this information, feathers fluffing up before they finally said “But why would anyone declare war on you guys? Terrans have been nothing but helpful to the Galactic Community for as long as we’ve known about you! What could they possibly gain by going to war with you?”
I sat in the chair in front of the computer. “Beats me. My best guess is that there are some species out there that seem to like warmongering more than the average species. They might see the news that the imposing Terrans in their impervious space suits were easily puntable the whole time and think to themselves ‘this has got to be the easiest war that we have ever fought!’ It’s at times like this when I am really glad that we never revealed where our homeworld was.”
Aeva was about to say something when suddenly, the loudspeaker system on the ship crackled to life. I’m sure that it didn’t really need to crackle like that, maybe it was just a noise to inform the crew to start listening up, but I digress. “Attention all crew,” she started, “we have been requested by the Terran government to ferry our resident Terran to the Embassy ship Strength Through Diplomacy. We are about three weeks of travel time from its current location.” I double checked my computer terminal. That information seemed to be correct. “Also, due to the urgency of the Terran government, we will not be stopping at any port of calls on the way.” Out in the hallway I could hear groaning coming from aliens probably trying to get a glimpse at me through a crack in the door or something similar. “I know that this is not what you all signed up for, but I have been assured that we will be fairly compensated for our time and efforts. That is all.” And with that the loudspeaker went silent.
I shook my head. “Man, things must be heating up if they want me back so bad.” I wonder if I’ll get court martialed for this. Or maybe even declared exommunicado. At this point the world is my oyster.
“Maybe, but we won’t really know until we get there, I suppose. Oh hey, did you want to get that battery and wheelchair fabricated so you can actually move around without needing me?” they asked.
That shook me out of my self-destructive thoughts. “Yeah, totally. It shouldn’t be that hard to link up my computer to the fabricator.”
If I had known how much trouble that that single statement got me into, I would have never said it in the first place. Connecting the two systems wasn’t a problem, that actually came pretty easily, due to various technological trades that have been happening for the last couple of years. That is where the ease stopped, however. The file for the schematic of the battery was in a specific format that was simply incompatible with the fabricator, and so I had to break out the most dreaded thing a human can think of: a user instruction manual. The manual, for one reason or another, was a physical copy and thicker than a bowl of oatmeal. Three hundred years after the invention of the ebook, and we still can’t get away from physical copies of things. With nothing better to do, I started to pore over the manual and after only thirty minutes of searching, I finally found the passage about changing the schematic format to something that alien fabricators can read and produce. With that passage found, it only took another thirty minutes or so to finally get the schematic formatted properly and sent to the ship fabricator.
“Thank the Lord that that’s finally done!” I shouted, waking Aeva from the nap they were having.
“Wait, what’s done?” they asked.
“I finally figured it out, and the battery’s being fabricated as we speak.”
“Well, that’s good!” they said. “You’ll be up and moving soon enough!”
“Yeah, I really hope so. Oh, by the way, could you send me the schematic for the wheelchair? I would use a schematic that humans use, but I’m terrible with modeling software, and I’m sure that I would mess it up somehow trying to scale it properly.”
They nodded, before sending me the schematic. That one was easy enough to send to the fabricator due to it being the correct format, so there was nothing to worry about.
“Well, we have about an hour before both things are done being made,” I said. “So, what do you want to do?”
“To be honest with you, I just want to sleep. Today has been exhausting to no end and I am ready to sleep!”
I chuckled. “Yeah, me too.”
I was going to say more when my phone buzzed. I looked at it and saw that it was a message from the captain. It read “Turn to Galactic News. You’re going to want to see this.”
My eyes widened and I made my way to the computer and tuned it to the news station. It was strange, because no matter where you went in the galaxy the news shows looked almost exactly alike. There were always two anchors sitting behind a desk with the news agency’s logo on it, and this news show was no exception. Instead of the humans sitting behind the desk like I had grown up with, there was instead two aliens. One looked just like Godzilla (the 2014 version, not the reboot from thirty years ago), and the other looked like a bever with the body of a lion. It looked like they were in the middle of reporting something. “-unprecedented move by the Terrans as a mass exodus from the Galactic Community to the various Terran embassies scattered throughout the galaxy. This news comes minutes after images surfaced on the galactic web of a tiny hairless lemur riding on the shoulder of a Cosholay. The person who posted this has claimed that the lemur was what Terrans looked like underneath their space suits.” They then showed a rather high-quality picture of me riding on the shoulder of Aeva. It must have been taken on the bridge.
“Hey Aeva, look we’re famous now!” I said with little mirth.
Aeva, who was sitting on the bed the entire time stood up and walked over to the desk and peered over me to get a good look at the photo that they were showing. “They didn’t even get my good side!” they lamented.
“Yeah, well maybe we’ll get the chance to do a photoshoot later.” I said, quickly silencing myself as the news report went on.
“To give us a better look into what we’re seeing in this photo, we go now to our analyst, Ikkid. Ikkid?”
The camera cut to a giant spider looking alien who was poring over a screen unseen by the camera. “Thank you Chuuzk. So, as we can see from the image, specifically the resolution and the overall quality, we can see that this photo was not fabricated in any way and is the genuine article. As to the claims that this lemur thing is what Terrans look like under their space suits, I cannot verify at this time. But I can draw similarities between the proportions of the limbs and heads of these suits that the Terrans never seem to take off. But this begs the question of why the Terrans would lie about something like this in the first place? And if they’re lying about this, then what else could they be lying about? I would say, but that’s out of my area of expertise. Back to you Chuuzk!”
The camera switched back to the anchors and the Godzilla looking one gave their species equivalent to a smile and said, “Compelling stuff, thank you Ikkid. Well, that’s all the time that we have today, but we will be covering this story as it unfolds. Until then, have a wonderful morning.” With that the ending jingle played and the broadcast was over.
“So much for BSing our way out of this one.” I said, shaking my head.

Pickup would be near Oak Hill area in South Austin, otherwise I could drop off as I leave, along Mopac going North through downtown.
I hope this is okay to post here. If not let me know and I’ll take it down.

Another month, another retirement update! A lot of sets changed dates this month, and even more new sets got added! Which reminds me, I'm considering making a /legoleak Discord server in order to expand more on leaks, answer questions, and provide daily retirement updates. If there's interest in that, I'll work on having it done before the next list!
As always, we owe a massive thanks to ZombieYeti from the BrickHound Discord for providing this valuable data. If you're looking for real-time in-stock/deal alerts for Lego.com and other sites, make sure to check out his server: https://discord.gg/BwezK2t5qf

This post is going to sound like the ramblings of a crazed conspiracy theorist - the kind that everyone rolls their eyes at and pays no mind to. I’m going to ask you all for a difficult favor. Please hear me out first before writing me off as paranoid and insane.
​
You might be familiar with the airline SkyFly. For those that aren’t - SkyFly is an airline originating from Austin, Texas. It started out as a lesser known company, but within five years, it became one of the top dogs in the airline business. They’re also the worst.
​
If you thought United Airlines was bad for breaking guitars, or Delta Airlines for kicking passengers off of overbooked flights, you haven’t seen anything yet. SkyFly takes the cake. The CEO, Felix Thompson is a literal evil genius. He got away with first degree murder by masking it as negligent homicide.
​
Felix made it look like the oh so tragic death of Captain Gary Hurst was a result of cutting corners, instead of him being a specific target. I have proof of this. All you need to do is read the black box transcript from SkyFly Flight 49, which slammed into a field on May 29, 2013 due to a sudden mechanical failure. Captain Gary Hurst, Co-Captain Drew Baltimore, the four flight attendants, and all 250 passengers were killed on impact. There were no survivors.
​
SkyFly paid a good deal of money to keep that transcript discreet. You won’t find it on a Google search. You won’t find any news articles on it, either. This travesty was swept beneath the rug, and thoroughly stomped on to keep it there. What Felix did not anticipate, was for his own daughter to have enough of a conscience to betray him.
​
I’m leaking this transcript, because both customers and employees of SkyFly Airlines deserve to know the serious risk to their lives.
 

Start of Transcript

​
1549:49.3 [start of recording]
​
1549:50 Captain: Good morning everyone! Thank you for flying SkyFly Airlines! We expect to arrive in Boston, Massachusetts in six hours.
​
1549:54.8 [sound of click]
​
1549:57.7 Co-Pilot: I love the feeling of lifting off from the ground. It’s like in John Gillepsie’s poem: “Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth, And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings…”
​
1550:14 Captain: Let’s hope this one stays in the air.
​
1550:22 Co-Pilot: What do you mean?
​
1550:25 Captain: You don’t feel that rattling?
​
1550:25 Co-Pilot: Shit. We need to return to the airport to get it looked at.
​
1550:27 Captain: SkyFly Airlines Flight 49 calling into air traffic.
​
1550:31 Air Traffic: Flight 49? What’s the situation?
​
1550:32 [Sound of click]
​
1550:34 Captain: We just took off and the plane is starting to rattle. The yoke feels stiff as well. Permission to return to the airport for an urgent landing?
​
1550:35 Air Traffic: [Captain], you have been flying for over fifteen years. You don’t need to make such a dramatic move over a little bit of turbulence.
​
1550:37 Captain: And as someone who has been flying for over fifteen years, I’m telling you that there’s something seriously wrong with this plane!
​
1550: 38 [sound of clicking]
​
1150:40 Air Traffic: You don’t need to return to port! Just keep flying! If it gets worse in the next hour, then we can discuss an emergency landing!
​
1550:43 Captain: Roger that!
​
1550:44 [sound of click]
​
1550:44.1 Captain: What a dick…
​
1550:45 Co-Pilot: Are we going to be okay?
​
1551:01 Captain: We can only pray.
​
1551:09.3 Captain: To be fair, things have smoothened out. Maybe I was getting paranoid.
​
1551:09.9 Co-Pilot: Why did you have such an extreme reaction?
​
1551:18.1 Captain: I keep getting put in broken planes. The first time, a failure in the elevators had this plane tossing and turning. The second time, there was a sudden explosion in BOTH engines. The third time, the plane literally stalled for a second. Thankfully I was able to land before anyone got seriously hurt, but this is not a lucky streak that I want to press.
​
1551:20.6 Co-Pilot: Let’s try not to let the worst case scenario impede on our current flight. A little bit of turbulence isn’t going to hurt us.
​
1551:36 Captain: What happened to agreeing with me to land the plane immediately and get it looked at?
​
1551:38 Co-Pilot: Air traffic made a good point.
​
1551:40 [the captain heaves a heavy sigh]
​
1551:42 [sound of rattling]
​
1551:50 Captain: Shit!
​
1551:58 Co-Pilot: What was that??
​
1552:01 Captain: I don’t know, but nothing good.
​
1552:02 [sound of an electronic hissing]
​
1552:31 Plane Warning System: Autopilot disabled. Autopilot disabled. Autopilot disabled.
​
1552:41 Captain: What did I fucking tell you?
​
1552:51 [Sound of click]
​
1552:53 Captain: Hold onto that controller like your life depends on it - because it does!
​
1552:59 Captain: SkyFly Airlines Flight 49 calling into air traffic. We have an emergency.
​
1553:03 Air Traffic: Flight 49? What’s the problem?
​
1553:08 Captain: The plane is shaking like an earthquake, and autopilot has suddenly disabled itself. Permission to make an emergency landing?
​
1553:09 Air Traffic: Just fly it manually! You know how to do that!
​
1553:10 Captain: Air traffic, I am telling you that this plane is going to fall apart before we get there!
​
1553:11 Air Traffic: Get a grip! Just keep flying manually!
​
1553:15 Captain: Roger that, asshole.
​
1553:17 Captain: Well, I suppose it’s good practice for flying manually.
​
1553:19 Co-Pilot: Is this safe?
​
1553:21 Captain: Not at all. But what choice do we have?
​
1553:28 Co-Pilot: If something else happens and air traffic denies the request to land, maybe we should just do it anyway. There are 250 lives at stake.
​
1553:35 Captain: That’s the plan. I’d land it now, but I’d catch too much shit for it.
​
1553:37 [sound of violent shaking]
​
1553:40 Captain: WOAH!!
​
1553:46 Plane Warning System: TERRAIN TERRAIN! PULL UP! TERRAIN TERRAIN! PULL UP!
​
1553:47 [sound of frantic clicking]
​
1553:48 Captain: Oh, thank god. I’m not ready to meet my maker yet.
​
1553:53 Captain: SkyFly Airlines Flight 49 calling into air traffic. We have a serious emergency.
​
1554:24 Air Traffic: Flight 49? What’s the problem?
​
1554:26 Captain: We temporarily lost control of the aircraft. We NEED to land before it happens again!
​
1554:32 Air Traffic: [murmuring] I guess we don’t have a choice but to let you land…
​
1554:33 Captain: Don’t have a choice?? What the hell is that supposed to mean??
​
1554:35 [sound of click]
​
1554:37 Captain: Oh shit! That was a scary pitch! I swear, it’s like these gears are covered in rust!
​
1554:50 Captain: Drew, why are you looking at me like that?
​
1554:51 Co-Pilot: Because I just realized that you’ve been put in broken planes for a reason…
​
1554:53 Captain: Air traffic control might be a dick, but they wouldn’t commit such an insane conspiracy with 250 other lives!
​
1555:00 Co-Pilot: I don’t think it’s a conspiracy. They just “don’t want to fix what isn’t broken.”
​
1555:00 Captain: What…
​
1555:01 Co-Pilot: I doubt these planes have had proper maintenance in a long time. Cutting corners is cheaper. If we make an emergency landing, SkyFly is going to have to pay to get the plane fixed.
​
1555:06 Captain: Why the hell would air traffic be involved in that?
​
1555:16 Co-Pilot: CEO’s know how to make friends.
​
1555:18 Plane Warning System: TERRAIN TERRAIN! PULL UP! TERRAIN TERRAIN! PULL UP!
​
1555:19 Captain: MAYDAY! MAYDAY! MAYDAY!
​
1555:20 Co-Pilot: [talking into black box] Melissa, baby, I love you so much. You’re the love of my life, okay? And it’s also okay if you move on and marry another man after me. I want you to be happy, okay? Don’t let this tragedy kill you too!
​
1555:24 Captain: IDIOT!! DON’T GIVE UP YET!! Yank on that yoke as hard as you can!!
​
1555:25 Co-Pilot: Roger that!
​
1555:30 Plane Warning System: TERRAIN TERRAIN! PULL UP! TERRAIN TERRAIN! PULL UP!
​
1555:31 Captain: MAYDAY! MAYDAY! MAYDAY!
​
1555:32 Air Traffic: Okay, Flight 49, you have permission to make an emergency landing.
​
1555:38 Captain: Let’s hope it’s not too late for that!
​
1555: 39 [sound of explosion]
​
1555:40 Captain: Air traffic, we just lost control of the vertical stabilizer!
​
1555:41 Air Traffic: Okay, what do you want to do?
​
1555:43 Captain: There’s nothing to be done at this point. We’re in an uncontrollable dive.
​
1555:45 Co-Pilot God have mercy on all of our souls…
​

End of transcript

 
 
SkyFly Flight 49 slammed full speed into an empty field in Dripping Springs, Texas. There were no survivors. Just as co-pilot Drew Baltimore said, CEO’s know how to make friends. A further investigation would reveal that the air traffic control workers heard in this black box recording were being paid $5k check bonuses to keep these broken planes in the air.
​
Maintenance crews gave the clearance for the planes’ safety checks, but never did any real examination into their condition. It was a conspiracy, to be sure. But like I said in the beginning of this post, it was never about saving money. If it were a matter of frugality, EVERY SkyFly pilot would have been in a broken plane.
​
It was only Captain Gary Hurst that was assigned to these planes that were not suited for flight.
​
Captain Gary was such a good pilot that he could land a broken plane without casualties. When one busted plane was forced to go out of commission due to a successful landing, they’d put him in another one. I know you’re thinking that I’m making reaches. After all, why would such a conspiracy involve 250 other innocent passengers, 4 flight attendants, and another co-pilot?
​
Simple: When a CEO commits negligent homicide, they get a $2 million slap on the wrist, and can carry on with their lives. If a CEO commits 1st Degree murder, they risk life without parole.
​
CEO’s kill people everyday though human trafficking, exploitation of labor, negligent maintenance practices, and denying medical insurance to their employees. What’s 255 more in a simple plane crash? Captain Gary Hurst was always the target. The other innocent lives lost that day were simply a necessary collateral damage to get away with murder. I don’t know why my father wanted that man dead. I admit that I don’t have an explanation for a motive.
​
But only one pilot assigned to four consecutive broken planes? That’s not a coincidence. ESPECIALLY when air traffic control was trying to keep him in the air every single time.
​
If you’re a pilot still working for SkyFly, RESIGN ASAP before you become next. If you have a flight booked with SkyFly, cancel it immediately. You could be the next target, or the next collateral damage to kill their target.
​

My father does not care if you die, as long as he gets to live well.

Season 2 Finale
“You look worried Bruce,” my producer jokes, moments before going live. “Even for you.”
This gets a chuckle from the crew.
“Quiet on the set!”
I’m already shaking in my shoes. Not a good sign. Working for the Devil is extremely stressful. And dangerous. And certainly not for the faint of heart. Why I took this gig is beyond me.
(Cue creepy music)
“Going live in five…four…three…”
I get the nod.
(Cut to camera one)
“Greetings Hell Beings and hell raisers. Welcome to the Season 2 finale of….”
(Cue the audience)
“LET’S MAKE A DEAL WITH THE DEVIL.”
I wave my arms in the air.
The audience jumps to their feet.
Someone heckles.
“Alright. Knock it off.”
I serve up my best game show-host grin. It looks as fake as this cheap Hollywood studio.
“As you probably know, my name is Bruce Davie, and I’m the host of…”
(Cue audience)
“LET’S MAKE A DEAL WITH THE DEVIL.”
There’s a disturbance in the audience. A crew member forcefully removes someone. The commotion settles, and I get the go-ahead.
“Phew! A feisty crowd tonight!”
My painted-on smile takes up the entire screen. So does my gleaming bald head.
“Now I know what you’re thinking. What’s the Devil got in store for us this evening?”
The audience rumbles.
I shrug.
“Honestly, I wish I knew!”
This is true. But I’m sure it has something to do with me spending an eternity in Hell. It’s right there in my contract, which runs out after this episode.
(Cut to camera two)
“So, without further ado, let’s bring out tonight’s contestants, shall we?”
The audience roars.
“And yes, you heard me correctly. Tonight, for the first time ever in this show’s defamatory history, we’ve got two contestants!”
Audience is on their feet, whooping and hollering.
(Cut to camera three)
(Cue music)
A middle-aged couple promenade towards the podium. They’re dressed like cowboys, and walk with a sense of purpose.
(Split screen)
“Welcome, both of you.”
More like: Welcome to your funeral.
“Tell us a wee bit about yourselves, why don’t you?”
(Cut to camera four)
The woman speaks first. Her hair is amber, her complexion as pale as light beer.
“Well, Bruce. My name is Tammy. I’m a stay-at-home mom. This here’s my partner, Tex. He owns his own gun shop. We live in Austin Texas, with three beautiful children, who are with us here tonight.”
She points.
(Cut to overhead camera)
Two tall boys and a young girl, each dressed head-to-toe in denim, stand and bow.
The audience applauds.
(Split screen)
The other contestant approaches the microphone. He’s as tall as an ivory tower, with a voice like a banjo.
“Howdy Bruce. Good to be here.”
He tilts his cowboy hat. His square jaw and rugged good looks give Chuck Norris a run for his money.
I salute them.
(Cut to camera two)
“Well then, now that we’re finished with the formalities, I do believe it’s time to…”
(Cue audience)
“BRING OUT THE DEVIL.”
(Cue creepy music)
(Cue pyrotechnics)
The stage fills with fire and brimstone. Pentagrams slice through the air. The Devil appears suddenly, dressed in a shiny new devil suit, tailored specifically for tonight’s show. It’s jet-black, and leaves little to the imagination. His pitchforked tail follows closely behind him as he approaches the podium.
(Cut to Camera five)
The Devil wraps his arms around the two contestants, kisses them both on the cheek.
Tex, clearly perturbed, winces, then grudgingly wipes his cheek.
The Devil snarls, then looks him up and down.
“Looks like everything isn’t bigger in Texas,” the Devil teases. Suddenly, he’s grown over eight-feet tall, and is looming over the tall Texan.
(Cut to camera three)
The bright lights and furious makeup make me look like a cartoon.
“What an exciting night this promises to be!”
Tammy steps forward.
“You bet it is, Bruce. We’ve watched every episode. We just love…”
(Cue the audience)
“LET’S MAKE A DEAL WITH THE DEVIL.”
(Cut to camera three)
“Of course!” Damion boasts. “This is Hell’s most popular show. And for good reason.”
He slaps the woman’s backside with his tail, then raises his eyebrows mockingly.
The cowboy puffs out his chest, fists clenched, daring him to touch his wife again.
“Woah, easy there pardner.”
Damion nudges Tex.
Tammy is flushed. “Don’t mind Tex. He’s the jealous kind.”
“Oh really?”
Damion’s tail is now shaped like a lasso. With it, he snags Tammy and pulls her close. Her face turns tomato-red.
The cowboy grunts, pulling it off with one strong swoop.
The audience boos.
The Devil snickers.
I feel sick. If this is to be my last episode (or final day on Earth), I don’t want it spoiled by this denim-clad dude whose hat is bigger than his brains, or by Damion, who seems extra feisty tonight. Even for him.
(Cut to camera one)
I clear my throat.
“Tell us, Tammy and Tex…no, tell all of Hell…what it is your beating hearts desire?”
The audience is on the edge of their seats.
(Split screen)
The Texans exchange doubtful looks.
The wife takes charge.
“Well Bruce,” Tammy says. “We don’t want anything that might get us killed. Being from Dallas, we were raised with some common sense.”
The audience hisses.
(Cut to camera five)
The husband steps up.
“That’s right, Bruce. Simply put, we want to be famous for a day. That’s it. Then we can write a book and live off the royalties.”
The audience erupts into a frenzy of catcalls.
(Cut to camera three)
The Devil’s eyebrows touch the top of his head. His voice slithers like a snake.
“Is that so?”
My heart plummets. These Texans are flirting with disaster. If they’d stuck to the script, they might be safe. They were supposed to ask for a lifetime’s supply of Super Bowl tickets. Easy-peasy. Who do these cowpokes think they are? Do they really think they can outsmart the Devil?
“Well then,” I say, shakily. “I’m sure Damion can arrange that.”
I raise my arms.
“What does the audience think?”
The audience goes ballistic.
(Cut to camera three)
The Devil, still towering over the Texans, leans into the camera.
“Famous, eh?”
His lips smack against his face. When he touches the dude’s shoulder, the cowboy swipes his arm away.
The audience boos. Someone tosses an egg onto the podium, narrowly missing the contestants.
“Woah! Easy does it!” I spurt out.
All hell breaks loose.
(Cut to overhead camera)
The crew gets busy, disposing of both the egg and the agitator.
(Cut to camera one)
I wipe my sweaty forehead.
“Tough crowd.”
The audience hoots.
The Devil sneers.
“SILENCE!”
Flames flash across the room.
People shriek, including me.
(Close up of Damion)
The Devil, boasting his gambler’s grin, turns to the contestants.
“Yes, yes. You WILL be famous. But just for one day.”
The audience roars their approval.
I shudder. Never in all my years, have I felt so much animosity from an audience. I’ll be lucky to make it out alive.
(Split screen)
“Sounds like the Devil has a plan.”
I try to sound cheerful. But cheerfulness is the opposite of how I feel.
(Cut to camera one)
“Tell us Damion…and all of Hell…what you’ve got cooked up?”
The audience leans in.
(Cut to camera three)
The Devil winks at Tammy.
“Well, I do believe it’s time for those two cowpokes to become famous. Am I correct?”
The audience jumps to their feet, chanting: “FAMOUS.… FAMOUS…. FAMOUS.…”
(Split screen)
Tammy looks pleased. Her partner, on the other hand, is showing concern. His shoulders are tense, he’s swallowed his bottom lip.
Damion dazzles the audience.
“Famous, y’all shall be.”
He snaps his fingers.
BAM.
The studio goes dark.
Someone in the audience screams.
Tammy gasps.
Tex grunts.
(Cut to camera one)
I shrug.
Is this Damion’s latest trick? Or did they finally cut the power? We give the impression that this show is hugely popular; but in truth, outside of Hell, this show is a dud. Cable and internet companies avoid us like the plague.
(Cut to overhead camera)
The contestants vanish under a cloud of fog.
A flaming pentagram floats across the stage.
“Well, isn’t that just dandy!”
The Devil points to the large screen behind the audience.
“Mister and Missus Cowpoke are about to jump the falls!”
He snaps his fingers, then he disappears.
My legs go weak. My heart is beating irregularly again. I still don’t know he does it. How any of this works. Suddenly, I’m alone on stage, shaking in my fine Italian boots, while the audience grows rowdier by the second.
Cameras mounted on drones are pointed at Tammy and Tex, who are trapped inside a large, steel barrel, with Niagara Falls looming below them.
Damion flies across the falls, lands next to Tammy and Tex. He taps the barrel.
“Ain’t she a beauty?”
The audience hurrahs.
The barrel is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. Although it’s huge, and probably weighs a ton, it barely contains the two Texans, who are kicking and screaming, cursing up a storm.
“Get me the hell out of here!” Tammy’s voice rips through the noise of the falls. “NOW!”
Damion frowns.
“You wanted to be famous. Am I right?”
The audience chants, “FAMOUS…. FAMOUS.… FAMOUS….”
Tex pokes his head out of the barrel, cowboy hat and all.
“Now wait one minute, Damion. That’s unfair. We wanted fame. Not death.”
The Devil chuckles.
“The two are synonymous, am I right?”
The audience agrees.
Damion checks his watch.
“Well then…”
He slams the lid shut.
That’s the end of the Texans, as far as I’m concerned.
(Close up of Damion)
“Whatcha think? Should they jump the falls?”
The audience shouts, “JUMP…. JUMP…. JUMP….”
(Cut to camera two)
My insides are melting. I’m petrified. You’d think working with the Devil would get easier over time. You’d be dead wrong.
“Looks like the people have spoken!” I hear myself say.
The audience continues their chant.
(Cut to overhead camera)
“Excellent,” Damion says, fiddling his fingers.
He looks over the cliff, and makes a sour face.
“Wowsers. That’s a long way down!”
“JUMP…. JUMP…. JUMP….”
“And so much water!”
(Cut to camera one)
My worried-sick face appears on the screen.
I straighten up.
“Once they jump, Tam and Tex will surely be famous!”
Except of course, they won’t be famous. Not in this world anyways. They’ve been duped. Why these people sign up to die is beyond me. Perhaps we’ve reached a spectacular level of stupidity in human evolution.
(Cut to overhead camera)
Damion’s lips stretch across his reddened face, his arms flex like a weightlifter.
“I’ll give them a helping hand.”
He rolls the giant barrel to the very edge of the cliff, ignoring the banging and hollering coming from within the steel coffin.
“Tammy, Tex…” His lips stretch into a snarl. “Prepare for fame!”
The audience is on their feet.
Damion shoves the barrel over the edge.
(Split screen)
The barrel tumbles down the falls, disappearing into the fast-moving water.
The audience holds its breath.
(Cut to spy camera)
Inside the barrel, the Texans are shrieking. Their heads and arms and legs collide. Chunks of puke pour across Tammy’s sickening face, who’s calling Tex every name in the book, and it’s a big book. Meanwhile, Tex is like a frog in a blender. His face is green, his nose is broken; blood is leaking from every orifice.
There’s a loud crash as the barrel plunders underwater.
(Cut to overhead camera)
The barrel resurfaces, traveling dangerously downstream.
The audience is back on their feet, fist-pumping.
(Split screen)
What troubles me is how the pedestrians and tourists, crowding the streets, remain oblivious. To them, this is nothing out of the ordinary. Nobody watches, or even takes a pic. I’m starting to suspect foul play. Somehow, Damion is controlling this. He’s using dark magic. A spell. Maybe none of this is real. Except of course, it is real.
(Cut to camera one)
I’m trembling.
“What a jump!” my voice ricochets off the studio walls. “They’ll be famous in no time!”
The audience chants:
“FAMOUS…. FAMOUS…. FAMOUS….”
(Closeup of the Devil)
“Yes, yes. An excellent jump, I must say.”
He peaks over the edge.
“Looks like they could use some help.”
(Cut to overhead camera)
Damion flies towards the barrel, which is bouncing off rocks and debris.
(Cut to spy camera)
Blood. So much blood in such a tight space. Tammy’s hair is in disarray. Her face is beyond repair. Tex swallowed his hat. One of his eyeballs is bouncing like a Superball. His left arm is flapping nonsensically. It isn’t attached.
(Cut to camera four)
The Devil scoops up the barrel, then flies to shore. When his feet touch the ground, he shakes off the water, cat-like, then glares at the camera.
“What a jump!”
He cranks open the lip.
(Split screen)
Tammy spills out. So does Tex’s left arm.
The audience gasps.
Damion applauds.
“Such valor and swagger!”
(Cut to camera five)
Tammy is flopping fish-like, barely clinging to life. Her mouth is full of blood and brains.
The Devil puts his foot on her head.
“SAY CHEESE.”
From out of nowhere, a photographer appears.
SNAP.
Damion, looking pleased with himself, is suddenly holding a newspaper.
(Closeup of newspaper)
The headline splashes across the screen: IDIOTS JUMP THE FALLS.
(Cut to camera four)
Damion shoves the newspaper in front of her face.
“Looks like Tammy and Tex are famous.”
Tammy's eyes twitch. Clearly, she needs medical assistance. I’m surprised she’s still alive. Her husbands brains are splattered across the inside of the barrel.
The very sight of this makes me gag.
Tammy tries to speak, but fails. Her eyes are filled with rage.
Damion tosses the leftover arm into the water, then shrugs.
“Sorry about your hubby.”
(Cut to camera two)
With wobbly knees, I face the audience.
“Looks like the barrel got the best of Tex!”
The audience bellows.
I continue to talk involuntarily.
“Gosh dolly. Look at all that blood!”
“MORE BLOOD…. MORE BLOOD…. MORE BLOOD….”
I find myself chanting along.
Suddenly, my vision blurs. I clutch my chest. Maybe I’ll suffer a heart attack on live TV. Hell waits for no one, I suppose.
(Cut to camera four)
Tammy spits blood on Damion’s boot.
“Devil be damned.” I blurt.
Damion’s face twists into a ball of fury.
“Now, now, Tammy. That wasn’t very nice.”
He crushes her fingers with his boots.
Tammy yelps.
“I was gonna save your long-limbed partner over there,” he points. “Not anymore!”
The audience is bloodthirsty. Paper airplanes and rotten eggs whizz past me. I duck just in time.
(Closeup of contestant)
Tammy’s tongue is leaking from her bloodied face. She’s missing her front teeth. Damion digs his spiky heel deep into her blood-soaked abdomen.
“I reckon you’ll need medical assistance.”
He snaps his fingers.
Suddenly, they're back in the studio.
Damion is as happy as a filthy pig. Next to him is Tammy, who’s caked in blood and gore. Her corpse-of-a-husband spills from the gigantic steel barrel, taking center stage.
(Cut to overhead camera)
The contestant’s children rush the stage. They’re delirious.
The crew hurry out and drag them aside, along with Tammy, who's rushed to the hospital, where she will certainly die.
“Now that’s what I call speedy service!”
My voice appalls me. So does this job. If only I’d listened to my mother, and got into politics.
Damion snaps his finger, then disappears under a plume of dusty smoke.
(Cut to camera one)
“Well, there you have it folks. That’s the last you’ll see of Tammy and Tex. But fret not, they had their moment of fame…in Hell!”
The audience is tossing trash onto the stage.
I narrowly dodge a projectile.
“Hope you’ve enjoyed Season Two as much as I did.”
I hated it.
“And, unless the Devil strikes me down,” and he very-well might, “I hope to see you this Fall, for Season Three of…”
(Cue the audience)
“LET’S MAKE A DEAL WITH THE DEVIL.”
Season Two
Season One

Posted this over in the Austin subreddit, but was recommend to ask here.
By any chance, would anyone here have any insights on hotels downtown that offer free overnight parking for motorcycles?
I’ll most likely be riding up later next month for a wedding, and I know some properties don’t charge for motorcycles. Preferably, something that is a Marriott or Hilton property near the convention center, but so far the only luck I’ve had is the Tommie in terms of offering free parking in their garage.
Thanks in advance.

Damion frowns.
“You wanted to be famous. Am I right?”
The audience chants, “FAMOUS…. FAMOUS.… FAMOUS….”
Tex pokes his head out of the barrel, cowboy hat and all.
“Now wait one minute, Damion. That’s unfair. We wanted fame. Not death.”
The Devil chuckles.
“The two are synonymous, am I right?”
The audience agrees.
Damion checks his watch.
“Well then...”
He slams the lid shut.
That’s the end of the Texans, as far as I’m concerned.
(Close up of Damion)
“Whatcha think? Should they jump the falls?”
The audience shouts, “JUMP…. JUMP…. JUMP….”
(Cut to camera two)
My insides are melting. I’m petrified. You’d think working with the Devil would get easier over time. You’d be dead wrong.
“Looks like the people have spoken!” I hear myself say.
The audience continues their chant.
(Cut to overhead camera)
“Excellent,” Damion says, fiddling his fingers.
He looks over the cliff, and makes a sour face.
“Wowsers. That’s a long way down!”
“JUMP…. JUMP…. JUMP....”
“And so much water!”
(Cut to camera one)
My worried-sick face appears on the screen.
I straighten up.
“Once they jump, Tam and Tex will surely be famous!”
Except of course, they won’t be famous. Not in this world anyways. They’ve been duped. Why these people sign up to die is beyond me. Perhaps we’ve reached a spectacular level of stupidity in human evolution.
(Cut to overhead camera)
Damion’s lips stretch across his reddened face, his arms flex like a weightlifter.
“I’ll give them a helping hand.”
He rolls the giant barrel to the very edge of the cliff, ignoring the banging and hollering coming from within the steel coffin.
“Tammy, Tex…” His lips stretch into a snarl. “Prepare for fame!”
The audience is on their feet.
Damion shoves the barrel over the edge.
(Split screen)
The barrel tumbles down the falls, disappearing into the fast-moving water.
The audience holds its breath.
(Cut to spy camera)
Inside the barrel, the Texans are shrieking. Their heads and arms and legs collide. Chunks of puke pour across Tammy’s sickening face, who’s calling Tex every name in the book, and it’s a big book. Meanwhile, Tex is like a frog in a blender. His face is green, his nose is broken; blood is leaking from every orifice.
There’s a loud crash as the barrel plunders underwater.
(Cut to overhead camera)
The barrel resurfaces, traveling dangerously downstream.
The audience is back on their feet, fist-pumping.
(Split screen)
What troubles me is how the pedestrians and tourists, crowding the streets, remain oblivious. To them, this is nothing out of the ordinary. Nobody watches, or even takes a pic. I’m starting to suspect foul play. Somehow, Damion is controlling this. He’s using dark magic. A spell. Maybe none of this is real. Except of course, it is real.
(Cut to camera one)
I’m trembling.
“What a jump!” my voice ricochets off the studio walls. “They’ll be famous in no time!”
The audience chants:
“FAMOUS…. FAMOUS…. FAMOUS….”
(Closeup of the Devil)
“Yes, yes. An excellent jump, I must say.”
He peaks over the edge.
“Looks like they could use some help.”
(Cut to overhead camera)
Damion flies towards the barrel, which is bouncing off rocks and debris.
(Cut to spy camera)
Blood. So much blood in such a tight space. Tammy’s hair is in disarray. Her face is beyond repair. Tex swallowed his hat. One of his eyeballs is bouncing like a Superball. His left arm is flapping nonsensically. It isn’t attached.
(Cut to camera four)
The Devil scoops up the barrel, then flies to shore. When his feet touch the ground, he shakes off the water, cat-like, then glares at the camera.
“What a jump!”
He cranks open the lip.
(Split screen)
Tammy spills out. So does Tex’s left arm.
The audience gasps.
Damion applauds.
“Such valor and swagger!”
(Cut to camera five)
Tammy is flopping fish-like, barely clinging to life. Her mouth is full of blood and brains.
The Devil puts his foot on her head.
“SAY CHEESE.”
From out of nowhere, a photographer appears.
SNAP.
Damion, looking pleased with himself, is suddenly holding a newspaper.
(Closeup of newspaper)
The headline splashes across the screen: IDIOTS JUMP THE FALLS.
(Cut to camera four)
Damion shoves the newspaper in front of her face.
“Looks like Tammy and Tex are famous.”
Tammy's eyes twitch. Clearly, she needs medical assistance. I’m surprised she’s still alive. Her husbands brains are splattered across the inside of the barrel. The very sight of this makes me gag.
Tammy tries to speak, but fails. Her eyes are filled with rage.
Damion tosses the leftover arm into the water, then shrugs.
“Sorry about your hubby.”
(Cut to camera two)
With wobbly knees, I face the audience.
“Looks like the barrel got the best of Tex!”
The audience bellows.
I continue to talk involuntarily.
“Gosh dolly. Look at all that blood!”
“MORE BLOOD…. MORE BLOOD…. MORE BLOOD….”
I find myself chanting along.
Suddenly, my vision blurs. I clutch my chest. Maybe I’ll suffer a heart attack on live TV. Hell waits for no one, I suppose.
(Cut to camera four)
Tammy spits blood on Damion’s boot.
“Devil be damned.” I blurt.
Damion’s face twists into a ball of fury.
“Now, now, Tammy. That wasn’t very nice.”
He crushes her fingers with his boots.
Tammy yelps.
“I was gonna save your long-limbed partner over there,” he points. “Not anymore!”
The audience is bloodthirsty. Paper airplanes and rotten eggs whizz past me. I duck just in time.
(Closeup of contestant)
Tammy’s tongue is leaking from her bloodied face. She’s missing her front teeth. Damion digs his spiky heel deep into her blood-soaked abdomen.
“I reckon you’ll need medical assistance.”
He snaps his fingers.
Suddenly, they're back in the studio.
Damion is as happy as a filthy pig. Next to him is Tammy, who’s caked in blood and gore. Her corpse-of-a-husband spills from the gigantic steel barrel, taking center stage.
(Cut to overhead camera)
The contestant’s children rush the stage. They’re delirious.
The crew hurry out and drag them aside, along with Tammy, who's rushed to the hospital, where she will certainly die.
“Now that’s what I call speedy service!”
My voice appalls me. So does this job. If only I’d listened to my mother, and got into politics.
Damion snaps his finger, then disappears under a plume of dusty smoke.
(Cut to camera one)
“Well, there you have it folks. That’s the last you’ll see of Tammy and Tex. But fret not, they had their moment of fame…in Hell!”
The audience is tossing trash onto the stage.
I narrowly dodge a projectile.
“Hope you’ve enjoyed Season Two as much as I did.”
I hated it.
“And, unless the Devil strikes me down,” and he very-well might, “I hope to see you this Fall, for Season Three of…”
(Cue the audience)
“LET’S MAKE A DEAL WITH THE DEVIL.”
Season Two
Season One

I’ve always liked how a man looks in a suit. The type who I see in downtown walking to their office Whether it’s an attorney, a financial advisor, or a project manager. I think it’s so masculine. Now, I’m curious if there is any man out there who happens to like feminine crossdresses. I’ve yet to meet one who likes girls like me in real life so I’m turning to the internet to see if I can get lucky. A little bit about me, I work in healthcare and tend to be a shy girl. The very quiet type of person who doesn’t want to bother anyone and stays quiet at work. I’m very feminine even when I’m not crossdressing. I’ve always been like that for some reason.
I’m not picky on the type of man I’m trying to find. As long as he puts some effort into his body and is not a smoker. Sorry, I’m just not someone who likes the smell of smoke. I also really don’t like drugs. I think they’re super disgusting. I’ve seen what the effects they can have on someone’s life in healthcare and don’t want to be surrounded by that. On that note, I also don’t do quick hook ups because I’ve seen just how easily someone can catch a STI due to working in healthcare and it’s just not worth it. So if you’re looking for a quick hook up it’s not going to work.
Anyways, let’s chat and then get to know each other! I put a picture in my profile to give you an idea of how passable I am. I would like to have an ongoing secret relationship. I’m not a crossdresser in public so I would keep a sense of discretion for you and me. Hopefully I’ll be able to meet someone through this medium and we get to live out our fantasies.
