Yeah, wait until the ending and then you tell me how much of it you predicted  :)

Oh yes, my country is burning metaphorically too. Lot of job losses, stores closing for ever, things like that. The government is doing with they can, helping the poorer, but that means middle class (in general) is doing quite poorly. We are a poor country, we simply don't have the money to help everyone, so they choose to help the poorer. It's just not enough. So people is in the streets, protesting and asking that they open everything (we have been slowly opening things, and in all cases, the Covid cases rised). But I prefer jobless than dead, so I want lockdown, I want things close, I want people caring for the others. People is dying, I don't understand how other people don't care. I know you may think I say it because I have a job and I am doing fine, but believe me, I say because I am scared. Terrible scared.

Will do n_n .

And I understand that Dina. I understand people being scared. But your not thinking. What happens when they're are no more jobs? What happens when people can no longer afford food, clothing and housing? What happens when your economy literally implodes? Your country is going to collapse. People are going to starve or be murder for what they have, rioting and looting will run rampant. People will die by the score, and your country will likely never recover.

Now, Picture that on a Global Scale. People want things to reopen, because our very survival depends on it. Cowering in fear will solve nothing. It's worse then doing nothing Dina. The world as we know it, is quite literally standing on the brink of Oblivion. All it's going to take is one little push, and when the Dominoes begin to fall, there will be no stopping it. People know that, and they're afraid.

The people trying to get things open again? They're the ones starting into that gapping maw, though they may not realize it. They're trying to pull the world back from the brink. They're not heros, but they're smart enough to know we're all of us in trouble. Deep trouble.

Almost done reading BG. In the home stretch now. Gotta say, so far only thing happened I didn't see coming. The rest I kind of already predicted and was proven right. Sometimes I hate it when I'm right -_- . This has been quite the Rollercoster ride though -_- .

As for the Whole Covid thing, I have to agree with PD on this. You see, my countries burning, both literally and metaphorically. Hundreds of Thousands in not millions of people are with out jobs or homes right now. They're ability to do anything is extremely limited, what with most everything shut down/permantly closed. Instead of helping the people that are in desperate need, my governments to busy fighting over which brain dead fucking moron gets to be King, and Winter is coming, which means a .ot of people are going to Starve/Freeze to Death. A lot more people then this fucking Virus has even killed in my country.

The long term ramifications from this, are going to be the real nightmare, and the people who should care. Who should be doing something. Who claim ownership of the people they're supposed to protect, are literally sitting on they're fucking hands, and doing nothing. This Virus, is nothing, compared to that.

I managed to avoid Pat's Spoilers, so avoiding the ones for BG won't be hard n_n . Thank you both for the warning though n_n .

I also think I have an idea of why Thomas did what he did.

I certainly liked your other video and this one, well, I quite familiar with the song. And the video is so fun to watch  :)

So far it seems that I will be free on Tuesday, for BG! So excited!

*Huggles back* I'm glad you liked the Videos Di-Di n_n . Been in a 60's mood lately XD .

I'm still reading Peace Talks, but I'm gonna try and get BG on Thursday n_n .

@Fcrate: Perhaps once this mess is over with Mi Amigo XD . It's good to hear your alive at least n_n .

@Regen: I'm glad the song made you laugh, as that was my intention by posting it XD . Couldn't help but think about Harry and his frineds when I listened to it XD .

Never heard the song played on a Spanish Guitar, would be intresting to hear XD . And I did some digging and found out that while the rendition by The Animals is one of the most popular versions, the song is actually much, much older then that and has a few variants XD .

I would like to point out, that History is written by the victorious, but history is often much more complicated and darker then that.

Take the example of Christoper Columbious for example. Hailed as a hero for being the first man to discover America, with the help of his backer queen Ezabela of Spain after she pawned off all her jewelry to fund the expodition. Not one word of any of that is true.

-First and foremost. Columbious wasn't trying to discover Amarica or prove that the earth was round. In fact, Columbious believed the earth was flat, and continued to believe it until the day he died. Amarica had already been discoverd by other exploers, most notably the Vikings and Ferdanad Majelien. Columbia's was actually trying to find a faster Trade Rout to Asia. Instead, he wound up in South Amarica.

-Secound. Queen Ezabela never had to pawn one piece of jewelery to fund his expodition. See, Queen Ezabela was a Catholic, and had a habit of burning at the stake "Heatens" while a couior sang to keep the screams from offending her ears, with all the wealth from said poor souls being seized by the crown. It was this wealth she used to fund the expodition.

-Third. When Columbis finally did land, he and his crew were greeted peacefully by the natives, who Columbis and his men began to kill and enslave, until very few of them remained. He then took, along with the slaves, all the Spices, Fabrics and Gold his ship would hold, and returned to the queen and his homeland in Victory.

That's the real history, but for a long time, people would shut they're eyes and try to deny it, because they didn't want to beleive they'd been idolizeing a fucking Monster. Humans are kind of idiotic stupid funny that way. They don't want the truth. Just the Painted Version.

Having said that, yes, the Holocost was an unimaginable tragedy, one of the darkest moments in human history and should not be downplayed or denied. But this conversation between Harry and Lucile makes no mention of it specifically. Keep in mind, Hitler was accused of a lot of things. Some even think he managed to escape. The two of them could be talking about anything related to the war, not just the Holocost. There were also rumors that Hitler dabled in the Arcane. Harry and Lucile are Wizards.

Maby we shouldn't jump to conclusions until we have the Facts.

Bonus Fact: Two of Columbiouses ship, the Nina and the Pinta, are Sailor Slang for Prostituets. Being a God Fearing man, Columbious made them name the third ship the Santa Maria.

*loves hug, hugs back*

Do you know that a study of I don't remember who ( :P) proved that Argentinians are very, very into hug each other, and the country in the world which less respects personal space. The polar opposite is Finland, where, according to the stories, has not even realized there is a social distancing policy, as that is normal life for them. So, I really miss be with friends and hugging them. But I am so grateful for technology allowing us to keep the contact with each other! Classes, meetings, and I still play RPG with my party  :)

Sorry about your work, but again glad to hear that you are safe

I have been very worried for Snowy too, but just today I confirmed she is ok. At least, she is safe. But she is not really well, here: https://www.paranetonline.com/index.php/board,41.0.html

I forgot to watch the video you posted, so I will do it now

*Gives 1 Million Hugs*

Honestly not surprised XD . I remember watching the Johnny Carson Show, and they talked about how people in certian parts of the world were very affeconiate in they're greetings. I can't find it atm, but if I do I'll post it. Anyway, they were talking about this one guy and how he'd hug you to greet you and kiss your cheeks and probabbly kiss you on the mouth if you let him, but they were talking about Machismo at the time, what it means to be a man and that that was a perfect example of being Machismo.

Anyway, I'm glad you enjoy virtual hugs as much as real ones Di-Di, and I'm glad your still able to play with your frineds n_n .

Bah, this Virus couldn't kill me if it tried XP . I'm more worried about the Coustomers that are eventually going to snap -_- .

Well, glad to hear she's alright, sucks to hear the other news though -_- . Really hope she's able to get treatment, thanks for letting me know Dina n_n .

Hope you enjoy it, and here's another one for you guys n_n .

Fair points all.
I didn't take into consideration that, as readers, we get the whole story. Where Murph is only given half the story.

It dose make quite a considrible difference when viewed in that light. In all, Harry has been fighting most of his life to try and keep Murph out of harm's way, which inadvertly put her in more danger. I beleive the say goes, "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions."

I have not seen the video yet as I am more or less busy, and about to watch a class (we subscribed to some streaming courses, this one is about philosophy).

I believe PT is...complicated. The first part is a mess, then becomes great but is over before BIG THINGS happen, so I think it would be a great idea to read both books together. Also, don't worry about the end of the series, we still have many, many books in front of us and JB is taking a lot of time between them. This are not two books, but one that is split. So, we still are very far away of the end of the series. And his next book is going to be of the other series (Cinder Spires). So...lots of time.

We are all doing fine, but Argentina is having a lot of cases, so things are complicated. I have been very busy too. But I missed you. I am missing playing our RPG too. I was thinking about some of our stories just yesterday

Ahh, ok, well I hope your class was, if not fun, at least enlightening n_n .

Oooohhhh, it's one book split into two, ok, ya, that makes sense XD . Deffinetky going to have to read both of them together then n_nd ! I haven't forgotten about the Spire Series, I'm really looking forward to when it comes out n_n .

I just pray to God, that if Mr. Butcher get's Movie adaptations made of his books, that he dosn't let Disney get they're meat hooks into them -_- .

*Hugs tight* Sorry to hear that Di-Di -_- . I hope you all stay safe n_n .
Awww, I've missed you guys too n_n <3 ! *Huggles more* I'm sorry I haven't been on more, things have been Stupidly busy and Hectic on my end, especial my GDF Job -_-# ...I'm gonna try to be on more though, and many, hopfully get an RP going again n_n .

Which reminds me, anyone her from Snow lately? With everything going on in California  I wanted to check up on her and make sure she's ok.

I'm doing alright, just been very busy lately, and getting very sick and tired of both this plage and this year -_- . How are you? My family are all doing well, as far as I know. Need to check up on my Big Brother though, haven't heard from him in awhile. How's everyone in your family? I sadly have not read Peace Talks yet -_- . But my frined is going to let me Barrow his copy so I can n_n .

I was actually caught off guard and more then a little surprised when Mr. Butcher announced the next book release so soon XD . My frined and I are getting nervous though that we're comeing to the end of the series -_- . I know all good thing must come to an end, but it's so hard to sat goodbye -_- ...*Shakes my head* Sorry Di-Di, I hope you enjoy Battle Grounds when it comes out, I'll be looking forward to reading both n_n <3 !

Hey there. Why? What did you do?

I got to walk into a GameStop for the first time in 4-5 months and have a conversation with people. It was...titalating.
