This is just a random character journal for an OC character written by @gearsinice. part of DC-speaks.

[egberts]

hey just a heads up/warning for those of you who don’t do well dealing with the heavy subjects or videos portraying violent acts, sandyhook promise has a new gun violence school shooting PSA that is probably going to be going viral and is slated to play on television and in AMC movie theaters and it’s pretty heavy, especially at the end. I know it’s a topic that needs to be discussed but it’s not a video that everyone will be able to watch, so just a warning for those of you that might not be able to handle it.

[lonersart]

For when you’re stuck watching like in a theater- When it begins to play, you will see kids talking about their binder or their other school supplies. When you see the boy with the skateboard, stop watching and plug your ears.

[ip2lb]

I think you should stop watching when you see this person saying “these colorful binders help me stay organized” because pretty much right after that there’s some panic inducing stuff. The entire ad is 67 seconds long.

[lgbtaudhd]

It’s legit terrifying to watch. It hits you out of nowhere and I know that this is important for people to understand but I have anxiety and this just makes my fear of school shooters worse

[itstheartistical]

It’s called “Back-To-School Essentials” on Youtube. Dark themes to watch out for plus timestamps:

Lock Down Drill (background) - 0:06

Panic - 0:12

Screaming - 0:17

Gunshots - 0:31

Blood - 0:33

0:39 - 0:55 - a girl texts her mom “i love you” in a bathroom stall as she’s stalked by an intruder

[very-virgil]

Boosting this because I saw it came up on insta and without knowing what it was i played it and ended up having a break down over its ending. It’s an extremely important topic but also…. extremely hard to watch……..

[magical-art-dad-deactivated2021]

It’s going around Tumblr now too, just so you’re all prepared

[pheonix-inside]

I watched it when it first started going around and it made me incredibly anxious. Heads up to anybody who needs a heads up.

[darkandlightsides]

The first time I watched it I legit felt a panic attack start. If I wasnt on the call with someone to help me before it got into a full blown thing, it would of been much worse for me- please dont watch this unless you can stomach it

[redriotremus]

DO NOT SCROLL!!

Please reblog this, it is very serious!

[idontgiveaflyinggrayson69]

The girl texting her mom really got me because I was in that scenario last year.

[damian-is-out-for-blood]

Hi if you associate with Slade Wilson, then it's important that you know that for your own personal safety

You need to stay the hell away from me.

[jon-is-out-of-this-world]

I'll help keep them away from you.

[musicaltechgeek]

Do i want to know what's up you two? I don't have to go look for certain siblings do I?

[jon-is-out-of-this-world]

If your tea ain't sweet you wrong

[victor-stone-speaks]

Strongly agree.

THANK YOU 🙌🙌

[victor-stone-speaks]

Your welcome, man, we gotta stick together on this. 

[musicaltechgeek]

We talking the drink… Or you know Tea. Because drinking… I like unsweetened. I know I’m a savage

[jon-is-out-of-this-world]

Please never speak to me or my sugary sweet tea ever again

[musicaltechgeek]

Would it help if i say reason why is because I’m usually drinking it with a pile of maple syrup soaked pancakes? Anymore sugar and pretty sure my brain would crash….

Or I’d start dabbling in experimental electronica again..

Last time that didn’t work so well. Might have sketched out a world destroying device. Or at least part of one.

[jon-is-out-of-this-world]

Just put the syrup in the tea

[musicaltechgeek]

No ew… Syrup goes in lemonade if your going to use it in a drink.

[jon-is-out-of-this-world]

I’m sorry it WHAT?!?!?

[ronnie-raymond-the-nuclear-mess]

this thread is so cursed that it summoned me from my 18-hour minecraft session oh god

[victor-stone-speaks]

I regret every choice that brought me here. Run, Ronnie, It’s not too late for you.

[ronnie-raymond-the-nuclear-mess]

i’m gone. still regret my life choices but i’m outta here

[jon-is-out-of-this-world]

[cisco-ramon-speaks-archived]

I’m not entirely sure what happened here, but you guys need to chill.

Also, who the heck puts syrup in any kind of beverage? That’s just. Why?

[musicaltechgeek]

Really okay I’m going to have to make some lemonade with syrup for you guys aren’t i?

That is when i get back East…

[jon-is-out-of-this-world]

If you make it I will drink it to be polite. I will likely at least pretend I like it. But I may tell my bf that it’s really gross later on.

[musicaltechgeek]

And if you actually like it?

[musicaltechgeek]

“Santana, sit.” She made the motion as they got to her work station. She was still using a cane to walk, but she was mostly healed. The tech just refused to go back to her apartment, just getting back to Metropolis just an hour ago.

Her dog wined a little, he could tell something was bothering her.

“I’m good,” she sat in the chair reaching into her bag for a treat for him. “Here, lie down.” She held up a ham bone and he thumped his tail understanding she was letting him have a break. She hadn’t even bothered with the lights yet, there was more noise than she had dealt with at the farm. Rubbing her temples she felt the head on her lap and pet the dog, humming to herself.

@lexluthor-speaks your tech has returned

[lexluthor-speaks]

A shadow detached itself from the wall.

“Mira,” said Hope Taya. “The Boss said you’d be back here.”

[musicaltechgeek]

Santana growled slightly at the stranger. Only to stop when Mira snapped her fingers.

“Yeah… I don’t think I can step into my apartment yet.” She bit her lip. “I just got in haven’t started anything yet.” Though she winced, and the lights flickered.

[lexluthor-speaks]

Hope glanced at Mira’s cane. “…I see. If you desire any additional security measures, LexCorp has pre-market systems we’re always looking to test out.”

She then looked at the flickering lights, and noted how they seemed to respond to the techie. The metahuman techie. “Is there anything you’d like to share?” She asked. “Any new abilities?”

[musicaltechgeek]

She shook her head. "I need to catch up with things. Was gone too long."

Again she bit her lip. "I don't think it's anything new. At least I don't think so." She rubbed her arm. "It's just my nerves are still a little on edge still. Which is why I came here. After the bugs.. I made sure my area was isolated from major grids."

[musicaltechgeek]

“Santana, sit.” She made the motion as they got to her work station. She was still using a cane to walk, but she was mostly healed. The tech just refused to go back to her apartment, just getting back to Metropolis just an hour ago.

@lexluthor-speaks your tech has returned

[musicaltechgeek]

Mira had woken early in the morning.

After a quick text to tell @lexluthor-speaks she was in Kansas, she gave up trying to sleep. It was too loud to do so.

It was still dark out as she padded, limping the way, to the barn where even though it was louder, was easier than hearing the kitchen screaming.

Patting the muzzle of one of the horses she closed her eyes fighting trembling at the darkness. Feeling the horse lick her hand she patted her again.

Her head was still pounding and she bit her lip trying to block it. Pulling from the pen she felt her back to a post. Sinking to the ground she gave a faint whimper.

The tractor rumbled to life a moment before sputtering back down. Blood dripped from her nose.

“…shut it off… Please…” She covered her ears trying not to scream, she didn’t want to wake anyone.

Open to @chriskentspeaks @cassandra-sandsmark-speaks and anyone else at the farm

[wondergirltwopointoh]

Cassie opens her eyes. She yawns and checks the clock. It’s still really early. She should not be awake yet. Maybe it’s the being a mom thing. She instinctively wakes up when she thinks Lyla’s about to cry. But she’s mistaken. There’s no noise.

She turns to see Chris still asleep. “At least somebody is getting a good nights sleep.” She mutters to herself. She carefully takes the blanket off from her and puts on some shoes. She walks into the hallway making sure not to make any noise.

First she checks on Lyla. Just a precaution. Make sure everything is okay with her. After confirmation that Lyla is alright she walks downstairs. She turns on the kitchen light and starts to make herself some coffee. She leans on the counter and looks out the window to see movement in the barn.

Still in her pajamas she takes her lasso from where she left it on the kitchen table and quickly slips on a pair of shoes as she runs out to the barn to investigate. “I don’t know who you are” Cassie yells as she runs “But you picked the wrong farm to mess with!”

[chriskentisalive]

Chris woke to the sound of Cassie screaming and was by her side in an instant. “Cass what’s wrong?!” He checked her over for any injury, then quickly scanned the farm for any threat. Everything was brand new, seeing as neither money nor time had been an issue when he built it. “Are you ok?!”

[musicaltechgeek]

Mira had freaked when @cassandra-sandsmark-speaks yelled at her, she remembered Chris bringing her there.  The yelling though, had her cry slightly, it was way too loud.  The tractor started up again, revving slightly before sputtering dead again.  

“Too loud…” She whimpered trembling still covering her ears with her hands.  “Make it stop…”

[wondergirltwopointoh]

Cassie turns to Chris “I’m not crazy I promise.” She says frantically “I heard something and it woke me up. And then I saw movement in the barn. And I promise I’m fine. I’m not hurt or anything.”

She turns back to look at the barn. That’s when she hears the tractor again “You heard that right?” She asks Chris “You have super hearing you had to have heard that.”

@chriskentspeaks

[chriskentisalive]

Chris rubbed his neck. “It’s just Mira. I brought her here yesterday. I told you that last night remember?”

[musicaltechgeek]

Mira stayed curled up, not even aware of what she was diing. All she knew was everything was too loud. The lights exploded around her and startled the animals.

“…make it stop…”

[wondergirltwopointoh]

“No you didn’t!” Cassie yells. She thinks back to the night before. It is possible that Chris said something and she wasn’t paying attention but not very likely. “You can debrief me later but right now I’m concerned with making sure nobody wakes up Lyla.” She loosens her grip on her lasso now that she knows that the noise is not a threat.

@chriskentspeaks

[chriskentisalive]

“Yeah well you’re the one screaming,” he pointed out, not wanting to argue with her. He definitely told her but that didnt really matter now. “You check on the baby, I’ll take care of @musicaltechgeek.”

[wondergirltwopointoh]

“I’m not that loud” Cassie retorts. “I only yelled at first because I though somebody was breaking into the barn” She shakes her head. That doesn’t matter though. He’s right she should go check on Lyla make sure all the noise didn’t wake her up.

“Good luck” Cassie says. She gives him a quick kiss on the cheek before walking back into the house. When she gets inside she carefully closes the door. There’s no crying yet. Maybe they got lucky. She puts her lasso back on the kitchen table and looks at the coffee she was making earlier. It’s probably cold by now but coffee’s coffee. She pours herself a cup before walking up the stairs.

She opens the door to Lyla’s room slowly and shuts it softly behind her. Thankfully Lyla is still asleep. Chris probably was able to tell without sending her to go check but she doesn’t mind. She sits down on the floor next to the crib and looks at the bookshelf across the room. After a moment of rest she stands back up and leaves the room. She walks back downstairs and sits in the kitchen waiting for Chris to come back.

[chriskentisalive]

He found Mira and brought her back inside, giving her kryptonian grade noise cancelling headphones. Then he sat by Cassie and took her hand. “You know I love you right?”

[musicaltechgeek]

Mira didn't fully wake when he moved her, though the headphones helped. She dosed off lightly, mumbling about shadows, but it was barely audible, even to his hearing.
