i’d like to point out that when i made this post, all of these comments were at the top, but now if you look at the thread they’ve been replaced by completely different comments
so please, for the love of god, look at the source link this thread is a neverending source of entertainment. people have added so much fucking shit since i made this
I was proctoring an exam for a student today while reading these, and I had to stop because I got to this one and almost fucking died
Bowen definitelty enjoyed himself taking Blue to his world. It was a stark contrast to the technological advancement of Eden and he imagined she’d certainly be surprised by how he used to live. Clear skies, with only airliners and the odd helicopter seen amongst the clouds, with cars and other vehicles sharing the old roads. Not to mention the architecture. To him, this was home.
He decided to take her to a pasta restaurant for dinner, although they did all sorts of things. He took her on a bus to get there, one which was certainly some decades old. After the dinner, they took another bus further down the road, to the beach at the end.
By that time, the sun was setting before them, creating a wonderful sight to gaze at. Bowen stood next to Blue on the esplanade, watching the scene in view, before turning to her with a happy smile. “It’s magnificent, isn’t it?” He asked her, before watching the scene for a little longer, a thought lingering in his mind as he turned to her once more.
“Blue… I.. I want to tell you something.”
Blue glanced at Bowen with surprise, feeling her heartbeat quicken ever so slightly.
She’d been busy admiring the sunset, but now every unspoken thought she’d had about the blonde came racing back. Was he really…?
“Um…y-yes, Bowen? What is it?”
Blue had realized for a while that they’d had a mutual attraction to each other, but if this was a chance to make it reality…
“Well, for starters…. do you want me to die?” Anna said, “I’m a fucking succubus. I was going to die tonight if I didn’t have sex.”
Anna sighed.
“Not many people here are willing to help me out. People hate succubi here…” She explained. Leaning back into Yoren, she relaxed.
“This lovely young man was more then willing to help me out… as are a few others….” She said, stroking Yoren’s cheek lovingly, “And let me tell you, Yellow, you have no voice here…. here, we also don’t follow the same military laws you do.”
Yellow sighed, returning to a more relaxed posture. “At least that is an adequate reason. But does the BEA not have laws against fraternization?”
“Was there no way to avoid breaking those laws by temporarily relieving yourself of duty and then…helping…yourself?”
Not that Yellow wasn’t sympathetic to Anna’s predicament, now that she knew Anna was a succubus. Even still, duty came first, be it to war or healing.
“As long as things are consensual, people turn a blind eye to it here.” Anna said simply, “As long as no one really talks about it, it’s fine. Even if they do talk about me, I personally don’t really care.”
“Look, Yellow, we Military Police are never off duty…” She said, “It’s just how it is.”
Yellow sighed again, calming herself. The strange winds now stopped, the room’s air returning to normal.
“Alright. If that’s how things are, then I won’t push the matter. Anyway, Wolf wants a talk. Shall I tell him to wait while you prepare?”
“Wolf?!” Red(F) squeaked with surprise as she supported Wolf’s weight even as his face remained buried in her cleavage. She hurriedly brought him over to the couch, laying him on it. “Rest first, I’ll go get hypos…”
“Wait.. the GDI is sending military aid?” Wolf asked, “Well, this is new. I thought they had declared neutrality…”
“Just FYI, you do realize that could provoke a counterattack, and the Hand can tune their shields and shielding to deal with your weaponry and shields, yes?” Wolf asked, looking concerned, “Something I discovered in battle.”
He took her hand, and kissed her lips. It was a short but sweet kiss, showing he still loved her.
“I’ll rest up… and I’ll need to message Green to meet me in Hyrule.” Wolf said, getting up, and bowing to Red(F). Without another word, he left.
As it happened over the next few days, Fleet Admiral Green had indeed planned to take Second Fleet to engage the Scorpion’s Hand fleets. However, Wolf’s information had him reconsider.
Green met Wolf over at Hyrule, the severe-looking Fleet Admiral looking at him as he folded his arms behind his back. “Female Red told me about your information, Emperor. I’ve diverted most of Second Fleet to another system to await a unified Coalition armada.”
“Every member state’s sent a sizable portion of their own fleets. We haven’t seen a combined fleet this large since Coruscant. If those demons want to kill us all, I’d like to see them try.”
At a look from Wolf, Green only returned it with a cold emerald stare. “I’ll give it to you straight, Emperor. Nothing good ever seems to come out of these supernaturals, especially these demons. Coruscant taught me that. It taught us all. It’s us or them, and we can’t afford to lose.”
“The Scorpion’s Hand and the Hellfire Club are not to be underestimated, Admiral. I’m sure you realize that.” Wolf said with a nod, “Even with this force, they can still slip away. Demons have powers beyond what you know. They are the epitome of unpredictable. We didn’t expect the Hand to attack so quickly. Nor in such numbers. Its almost as if they expected us.”
Wolf looked around.
“We have to be very careful what we say. What you have told me could’ve been heard. Spies are everywhere. Admiral Yellow already had an assassin try to kill her.” Wolf said, “I’m not going to lie, but you may have endangered that fleet… or even Eden.”
Green, for his part, merely rolled his eyes. “Didn’t mention the system name, did I? Space is large enough that they’ll have to search for pebbles in an ocean to find just one of the member fleets.”
The iron-gazed male suddenly paused, then looked to Wolf again, this time much more coldly. “Either you’re a psychic or those demons can read minds. The Minerva system’s under attack. Scorpion’s Hand vessels are approaching the system, and the EDF along with Coalition battle groups is intercepting.”
Another pause, as Green seemed to receive live updates.
“Demonic readings detected, they’ve authorized full escalation. Local system-scale nullifier field raised and at full power. Sector alert level raised to Adorior, Fifth and Ninth Fleets responding, Battlegroup Omega inbound…”
Over at the edge of the Minerva system, the skirmish was still ongoing.
A reconnaissance flotilla had been sent ahead of the main battle fleets, along with a single nullifier-equipped vessel, under full stealth.
The combined Coalition battle groups and the Eden Defense Fleet spread out across the entry vector, forming what was known as the Absolute Line. They were to stop the Scorpion’s Hand fleets at all costs, not allowing any hostile ship through.
If even a single Scorpion’s Hand vessel reached Eden, despite the system nullifier field being up, everyone would die.
“If I were psychic, I wouldn’t openly broadcast my thoughts. Even then. Must’ve read yours. No matter.” Wolf said, “C’mon, allow me to show you the pride of the 1st Shock fleet.”
———————————–
The Scorpion’s Hand Fleet had formed a wedge formation, designed to smash through the defensive line in front of them. Lasers, ray guns, mass drivers, etc, were firing near nonstop as both sides fought for control. Fighters were dogfighting constantly, with many of the Coalition fighters having trouble with Vulture Droids.
“Sir! We’re detecting ships incoming, BEA signals!” A comms person yelled to the admiral in charge of the defence fleets, “They’re coming in with a Superdreadnaught!”
Within moments of that statement, several BEA ships, including the massive Wolfsbane-class Superdreadnaught and several Star Destroyers came out of hyperspace, blaring the Davy Jones theme music from the Pirates of the Caribbean movies as they opened fire on the enemy vessels with their mass driver cannons, turbolasers, ion cannons, concussion missiles, and the Wolfsbane’s superlaser.
————————————–
“Sir, our shields can’t hold against that Superdreadnaught.” An officer said to Captain Czar. The mechanical warlord sent his hand through the man’s skull, watching as the body dropped dead on the floor.
“It has been an honour, but today is not the day I die.” Czar hissed, summoning a portal, and disappearing just as the Wolfsbane’s superlaser smashed through the hull of the Titan-class Superdreadnaught Kronos’ Fury.
To seal the deal, the rest of the Scorpion’s Hand ships were obliterated when several Relay Gun shells fired all the way from Eden’s Orbital Ring impacted them.
Sharp flashes of light blossomed like fireworks as elements of the Initiative’s Fifth and Ninth Fleets dropped from FTL, using wide-area antiproton beams to further cleanse the area where the Scorpion’s Hand ships had been, until not even a speck of debris was left. Barely a second later, the feared Battlegroup Omega joined in the fray as they glided around the battle zone.
Coalition fighters returned for repairs, harrowed by the now-destroyed vulture droids. They’d had trouble indeed when holding off the fighters, but the droids would have been wiped out with ease if they’d entered the range of the various beam-based point defense systems every Coalition ship had.
The Vulcan in charge of the Eden Defense Fleet, Vice Admiral T’Deri, hailed the BEA forces. “This is Vice Admiral T’Deri to the BEA. We are grateful for your assistance, but remain vigilant. The Delphi Array is picking up signature remnants consistent with a recently-formed portal. Human sized. It is likely that the officer leading this hostile fleet has successfully escaped the destruction of his flagship.”
“I share your sentiment, Vice Admiral, and we’re picking up those readings as well.” Wolf said, turning to Admiral Green, “Czar escaped…. Damn it…”
Wolf walked out of the bridge, going towards his personal fighter. Getting inside, Wolf left Yumi.
“Admiral Green, I will rendezvous with you again in Hyrule. I have business in Eden, as well as a message to send to the Coalition’s High Council. We must reconvene together to plan the next move.” Wolf said, “If we don’t plan this next move… We may end up going blindly into a trap.”
————————————
As Wolf approached Eden, he sent a friend-or-foe code to the fleet surrounding the planet to confirm he was friendly. He sent the same code again down to the Planet’s security, getting the landing pad coordinates, and then making his way to the Admiralty, where he stood before the other Admirals.
“Captain Drake Czar was the one behind the attack.” Wolf said to the council, noting the stirs of discomfort upon the name’s mere utterance, “He escaped… Meaning he’s on the loose.”
“I suggest we reconvene the Coalition council, so as to plan our next move together. That way, we don’t blunder into a trap.” He said, “While we may have the nullifiers, that doesn’t mean we can just charge in. The very threat of demonic forces is something we need to deal with… But we can’t do that if we don’t plan.”
The Admiralty had grown uneasy upon Czar’s name being mentioned, though some of them also stiffened with concealed anger.
“Captain, or by now former Captain, Czar has been struck from all service records and is now marked as a traitor to the Initiative. He’s no longer a citizen of GDI, and since his defection we have put a kill-on-sight order on him.” Fleet Admiral Crystal said tightly.
Red(M)’s voice was low and deadly as he considered the events ahead. “We’ll convene the Coalition, yes. Officially, Wolf, this will be our position on these demons.”
He leaned forward, the rest of the Admiralty looking at him, then at Wolf. “Their complete and utter annihilation, or failing that emancipation, will be our utmost priority. The Scorpion’s Hand fall as well, but the threat of the demons comes first.”
Wolf nodded in response to what was said, the ghost of a smile on his lips.
“That is my position as well, admiral. Convene the Coalition in three days. That will allow us to enough time to regroup and prepare for anymore incoming attacks.” Wolf said, “As well as conduct surgical strikes on areas that could serve as potential Hand staging areas. We want to regroup ourselves, but not let them regroup.”
Over the subsequent days, GDI was shaken up like never before.
The attack on Eden, though ultimately averted, was bold enough to warrant serious discussion across the entirety of Initiative society as to how to respond.
The vast majority of GDI’s population were sick and tired of the repeated conflicts against Bouzaculan supernaturals, which history had already proven desired nothing more or less than their complete and total extinction.
Yet they couldn’t be on the defensive forever, and neither could they simply stay out of matters now that the war had come to them.
Brief, shadowy sightings of the mysterious and powerful Black Angels near Scorpion’s Hand worlds had also unnerved many amongst the Coalition who’d witnessed the recordings of the attempted Great Raid years ago.
Only a very few skirmishes had broken out at all, all of which resulted in brutal Scorpion’s Hand defeats. Even demonic assistance and demon-magic attacks seemed to do absolutely nothing against their sinister night-black hulls.
If war broke out, there was no telling which side the Angels would support. Or if they would attack both for their own purposes.
Surely the Scorpion’s Hand and their demonic allies knew that, at least?
At this given moment, Wolf and Yuki were both visiting the Reds – specifically Red(F) and Shiori. Their son, Takeshi, was also with them, having a nap in one of the chairs.
“He sleeps a lot…” Yuki moaned in disdain, “Why must he sleep so much…”
“Yuki… You know he often has late night shifts when he’s one the job…” Wolf said, “You should’ve let him stay on the ship.”
“He needs to actually take some stable work, not be a bloody fucking ronin…” Yuki said.
Shiori’s sister, Hanamori (often just shortened to Hana) came in then, plopping herself down in Red(F)’s lap.
The purple-haired daughter snuggled deeper into her mother’s warmth, and Red(F) smiled softly as she then looked to Wolf and Yuki. Beside her, Shiori was preoccupying herself in the schematic of what appeared to be a rifle of sorts.
“Things are getting restless, Wolf. The people don’t want a war, not when it’s the fourth time GDI’s faced a supernatural foe. Red’s working with the Executive Council now, pushing forward a lot of contingency plans. They’re all worried to death that we really will lose this one.”
Red(F) stroked Hana’s head affectionately as she spoke, finding comfort in how her daughter enjoyed the headpats.
“You said the Scorpion’s Hand was afraid of fighting us, Wolf. What changed?”
“Well, for starters…. do you want me to die?” Anna said, “I’m a fucking succubus. I was going to die tonight if I didn’t have sex.”
Anna sighed.
“Not many people here are willing to help me out. People hate succubi here…” She explained. Leaning back into Yoren, she relaxed.
“This lovely young man was more then willing to help me out… as are a few others….” She said, stroking Yoren’s cheek lovingly, “And let me tell you, Yellow, you have no voice here…. here, we also don’t follow the same military laws you do.”

“Was there no way to avoid breaking those laws by temporarily relieving yourself of duty and then…helping…yourself?”

Surely the Scorpion’s Hand and their demonic allies knew that, at least?
“Got a lighter?” The trooper asked, taking out a box of cigarettes, and taking one out, “I need a smoke right about now.”
“Sure thing.” Wolf said, lighting the trooper’s cigarette.”
——————————————
It just so happened that Anna was snuggled up to her second-in-command, Yoren. Due to being a succubus, the last few days had been draining on her due to a lack of… certain bedroom activities to get some energy. Good thing Yoren was willing to fill her up…. so to speak.
“Thanks…” The succubus smiled, nuzzling into her subordinate’s chest.
“You’re welcome.” He said, kissing the top of her head, just as Yellow burst into Anna’s room.
“Goddamnit..” Anna muttered, looking to Yellow while covering herself to preserve her modesty, “Could this at least wait until morning? I’ve already told you, that SS guy is an animal.”
Eyes aglow with radiant gold in sheer fury, Yellow stabbed a finger out at Anna.
“Were this outside of your time on duty, I would not care. But to do this sort of thing while you still have duties to perform as according to your station, that is conduct unbecoming and corruption of the highest order.”
Around Yellow, the air seemed to stir, winds somehow starting to pick up even inside the room. “I hope you have a very good reason for doing this with your men, Anna. A very good one. Because no military law will condone this. And neither will I.”
do waitresses know that i love them and appreciate everything they do
i had the nicest waitress today who told me my outfit was cute and i wish i was rich cuz I would’ve tipped her so much more if I could
If you ever actually wanna help your waitress out, ask to speak to their manager before you leave and then tell the manager how awesome they are.
Trust me, it makes a difference. Servers who get compliments from guests and customers get better hours, and the more you’re liked by the people who come in the more forgiving the bosses are when shit goes awry (say if you’re sick or you have a flat so you’re late, etc).
Tell the manager. Do it! Aside from tipping it’s one of the best things you can do for us. Tell the manager you thought we were great. Tell the manager that we’re the reason you’re gonna come back. Talk us up! It’s a little like job security – if you tell the manager we’re the reason you’re here, they’re gonna be a lot more reluctant to let us go because then they’re losing your business, and they don’t want that.
this is good advice, thank you 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
And managers are SO SURPRISED AND PLEASED when you ask to compliment, rather than complain. They really listen.
