if you asked kim whether he regrets transferring to the 41st he would say no, but there are moments he’s come close. minific version under cut
LIEUTENANT KIM KITSURAGI – “We’re getting closer to their hideout… we’ll need to be extra careful not to be seen from here on.”
RANCID-SMELLING TRASH CAN – You nod and continue to sift through liquefied food waste and discarded packaging, reaching past bags filled to the brim with likely unsavory substances and trying your best to avoid any used syringes. Nothing good yet, but mama didn’t raise a quitter (you think). If you can just reach in a little further…
LIEUTENANT KIM KITSURAGI – His voice shoots through the air like a bullet– “GET DOWN!”
YOU – Huh?
SAVOIR FAIRE – You heard the good lieutenant! BUST A MOVE!
VOLITION – What? No, you need to–
SAVOIR FAIRE – UPUPUP! NO TIME! Don’t keep him waiting, hotshot! Impress him with your dancing prowess!
LOGIC – Why the hell would he be asking–
SAVOIR FAIRE – You know what you need to do.
YOU –
[VOLITION - EASY] Drop to the ground. (-3 Don’t keep him waiting)
[SAVOIR FAIRE - CHALLENGING] Get down with your bad self. (+3 The ONLY answer.)
“Whuh?”
“Not now kitten, daddy’s looking for treasure in the garbage.”
[SAVOIR FAIRE - CHALLENGING] Get down with your bad self.
[CHECK SUCCESS]
SAVOIR FAIRE – The world slows, narrows down precisely to your point of existence, much like a spotlight shining down on a rising starlet. Your time has come. You must herald the coming of a new age of man, the birth of a rhythm-based society that communicates solely via body language and dance. GO, my apostle, show the world and spread the gospel!
YOU – You rip your hand out of its stinky prison and dance like you've never danced before in your life (as far as you can remember). With all the energy and panache you can muster from within your abused body, you erupt into a flurry of motion and improvised dance music (in the form of mumbled basslines and mouth-made drum sounds).
You’re unstoppable; caught up in the euphoria of busting it down, you twirl and shimmy… In between blissful micro-seconds of self-expression in movement you catch the lieutenant's eyes, which are wide with shock.
You've really dazzled him!
VOLITION – No, you idiot! You’re gonna get–
PERCEPTION – A gunshot rings out behind you.
PAIN THRESHOLD – OWWWW FUCK!

A Final Plea from the Heart of Hell: Save Us Before Hope Dies 💔🔥
Hi, I'm Hani 🤗
My Little Brother is Dying of Fear 😨
The Night Only Adds to Our Pain 🌙
Where is Humanity? Where is the World? 🌍💔
Don’t Let Us Disappear in the Darkness of Suffering 🌑
Don’t let our story end here. Be the light that guides us to salvation 🕯️✨.
With every tear, with every pain, I write this final plea to you,
Hani

This is an emergency and so I will make it an easy read, as Amal CANNOT afford people scrolling past this post:
@amalashuor , a young mother needs your help in buying baby food for her daughter Maryam. At only 18 months old, Maryam is in danger of severe malnutrition and this may even put her life at risk.
Amal immediately needs to raise at least €5000 to buy necessary baby products like milk, cerelac and even nappies.
I cannot overstate how important this is when Amal has been displaced TWICE in 10 days and has lost €4000 in transportation fees. She was in Rafah for a long time and recently had to flee to Khan Younis due to IOF aggression. And again from the east of Khan Younis to the West to escape shelling.
Currently she has exhausted most of the funds she had raised given how expensive the cost of living has become in Gaza. With no income, this Gofundme is what she depends on to survive.
IOF repeatedly targeting aide workers has forced UN to temporarily suspend all operations in Gaza strip. Henceforth food prices are expected to skyrocket even more and Amal is at a loss as to what to do since she already spends €2500 monthly on meagre amounts of food that the family then has to stretch as much as they can so as to not completely starve. Amal also needs personal hygiene products during periods to avoid infection- we often talk about women's rights and health on this site, so please help this mother by donating.
