TEST DRIVE MEME #4
Welcome to the TDM for Expiation, a pan-fandom adventure game with fantasy, science fiction, and some horror elements. We ask that top-level comments are reserved for new characters and players looking to experience a taste of the world and overarching storyline. Characters already in the game, however, are free to use TDM prompts in their own catch-alls and logs. Feel free to submit any TDM / prompt-related questions to the corresponding comment below.
New players / characters looking to app are free to use TDM threads as samples in their application. Preexisting players / characters may use TDM threads as part of their AC proofs.
You may find the below link helpful in getting to know themes of the world, locations, the people, and so on.
AS OF AUGUST 2023: We have decided to reduce the waiting period for new updates / canons to two months. So if your canon is two months old, your character is appable as of now.
The last thing you recall is waking in a room of blinding white light. You hear voices around you, speaking in muffled tones; you get the distinct impression that they’re talking about you. And you’re on the verge of figuring out what they’re saying, you’re so close...but then the floor drops out from under you. You’re falling into blackness.
You come to after falling through this dark void, and when your vision clears, you find yourself on a…beach? Many wake up covered in sand, but some wake in the shallows of the ocean, too. Surf’s up!
IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN...
SAND AND SALT (ARRIVALS)
After dusting off the sand (or drying off with a towel, if they had a really rude awakening), newcomers to the area find themselves greeted by the locals and directed to the city of Aldrip, where they can find food, shelter, and dry clothing, should they need it. There's mention of an inn, though some mutter that it's getting a little crowded, so maybe characters should find a roommate or make nice with the locals so they can crash on their floor—at least temporarily. Once they're in town, they'll notice that there is plenty of construction going on: building materials everywhere, half-finished structures waiting to be finished. Maybe you won't be sleeping on the floor for too long, after all.
Those who choose to remain on the beach will find the locals setting up for something that looks like a festival. Colorful tents are anchored in the sand, filling with strange-looking goods, delicious-smelling food, games, and other activities. Locals call this the "Festival of the Sun," a celebration of the hottest days of the summer, where crops begin to swell bountifully and the seas become warm and refreshing. The festival has not yet begun, of course, and there is plenty of opportunity to help out. Chosen who wish to lend a hand will find themselves enlisted to help set up or decorate tents—or even to run some of them, if they're so inclined. Grab the balloons and streamers! (Or…colored scarves and flowers, maybe.)
FESTIVAL OF THE SUN
The festival kicks into gear in the afternoon, and there are plenty of activities to draw attention. There are boat racing competitions and a sandcastle contest, as well as a grand seashell hunt taking place on the beach. All of these are free to enter, and the contests offer prizes both for participation and for winning. Participation prizes are small tokens of memorabilia: seashells, shark teeth, dried flowers, things like that. Contest winners will find themselves gifted a refreshing treat or a free meal.
Other tents boast all sorts of different games, food, and trinkets for purchase. Merchants will accept coins or other goods in exchange, but if you find your pockets empty, they may also have to help work the booths if they need a well-earned break. Better get to work, and don't forget to give your most winning smile!
Later in the evening, the locals light a bonfire and host traditional songs and dances as the sun begins to set. All clean-up work will be left until the morning; according to Those Who Were There—the locals' patron deities, apparently, though they offer little information about them—it's bad luck to work this evening after the sun sets.
THIS IS ECOLOGY
MAKE A FRIEND
It seems there have been new additions to Aldrip and the surrounding areas. Even the locals are surprised to see large, flightless warking birds now charging around the meadowlands in packs, not to mention the cute piglets with bunny ears and other strange animals that seem to have appeared. There’s even something that looks like it’s made of rock roaming around–its bark is worse than its bite, though. You may even find that if you befriend them, you can ride on them.
Most are harmless, but Chosen may find a few more monsters than usual roaming the area, too. It seems best to be careful—especially after dark and in the forest, when some of these creatures feel emboldened to roam a little closer to civilization.
[[WILDCARD: Players can use anything from this post to interact with! It doesn’t even have to be the ones we mentioned in the prompts.]]
STOP AND SMELL THE FLOWERS
It's not just animals that have begun to appear in the area, either. Strange new flowers and plants seem to be cropping up everywhere, as if this is a normal habitat for them. Most of them don't seem harmful, although some of the vines can be a little…aggressive. However, getting too close to some of the flowers and mushrooms could give someone a nasty surprise. This is particularly unfortunate because the locals seem quite interested in the new additions to their town, encouraging the Chosen to investigate and acquire samples.
The pollen from these new flowers isn't normal, so Chosen won't find themselves sneezing too much. Unfortunately, they may find it has some other effect on them, such as sleeping, confusion, temporary loss of sense (sight, touch, taste, etc), powerlessness, forgetfulness, or inability to speak. While these are all examples of effects the pollen might have, this is certainly not a limitation. Just about anything you can come up with—within reason—is fair game.
STRANGE MACHINATIONS
A PILE OF JUNK
Ask the locals, and they'll tell you all about the recent trip to the desert, including how several of them were rescued and owe the Chosen a debt of gratitude. While they're repaying this debt mostly by way of helping with building projects, they've also brought back piles and piles of…broken technology. Mostly tablets: dirty, sandy, scratched up, and missing critical components like batteries and chargers. They've very kindly piled all of these things in the eating hall at the inn, and anyone who wants to check them out is welcome to do so. It's possible that cleaning them up and matching them up with their missing components will activate them, but you may have to sift through a whole pile to do so.
But activation does not necessarily mean they're in perfect working order. They may randomly beep, as if pinging off of certain locations, or make strange static sounds if they're turned on for too long. Some of them seem to ping off of each other, too, beeping more quickly as they're brought nearer to the other tablet they seem to be paired with. When connected to the pair, they seem to stabilize a bit more. Not enough to find anything of value in the system itself, but characters might find that they can now text each other, play one of the games, or send pictures on a local network.. After about ten feet of distance, they fail again and aren’t able to be used on the local network.
GO BUMP IN THE NIGHT
Whatever happened to the locals at the beginning of the month seems to have passed—mostly. Every so often, Chosen might notice the locals acting a little strangely, stopping what they're doing for a second as if they've forgotten something, repeating something they've already said, or even flickering in and out of existence.
These experiences are minor, but Chosen might notice some other oddities popping up occasionally. Some animals seem very…odd, at a glance, like a fox that has two tails or a deer with three eyes. Look again, and you might think your eyes were playing tricks on you, because they appear normal. Fish with transparent scales, plants that change color—these are examples of the occasional oddities Chosen might encounter.
They might also sometimes hear strange noises, particularly at night. Beeping or static like the sounds coming from the tablets could easily wake a person in the night—as can the sound of a voice, perhaps even a familiar one, luring Chosen out of their beds and away from the town. The source of these voices is a mystery, and they always seem to stop before characters get too far, but you'd do well to be careful after dark.
You know the drill–this is the wildcard one. Just because it’s not listed in the prompts above does not mean it’s unavailable as an option. We encourage you to do whatever you’d like to utilize the setting to its full potential. If you have any questions about what is and is not possible, please don’t hesitate to ask!

swinging her braid over her shoulder, her fingers fidget with a few strands -- her body language shrinking just a smidge as she speaks the truth. )
It's...It's nice when it's just the two of us and no one else. She called me "Jinx" once. ( a beat. ) — Well, not out loud, but she wrote my name. And she's been kinda with me more than a day. Eh heh heh...
( she doesn't want to point out that her father was wrong, but... he was wrong. )
no subject
In his jacket, he felt just a touch more himself. Certainly he was soaking in salt water, covered in sand, bleeding slowly into his clothing, but with his jacket, he felt a bit more whole. Now if he could lever himself to his feet soon, that would be a step in the right direction.]
You understand it will likely never be just the two of you aside from fleeting moments. [He sneered and didn't bother to hide it. Vi was such a threat to what he had built with Jinx, and it burned him like the bullets that had torn through his chest.] I am your family, Jinx. No matter where you go, who you associate with, and what you do, that will always hold true. I don't want you to be hurt by her over and over again. Betrayals coming like a thousand small cuts to you.
[He ran a hand through his hair to push it from falling in his face, smearing around sand in it. He sighed from his nose and bowed his head, voice softening.]
I only wanted to protect you.
no subject
with her head ducking down, his daughter shifts to tug her legs close to her chest -- arms holding them tight and her chin to her knees. her lips thin as she debates to say something and she most didn't. somehow, the words spat out quickly with a hint of hurt to them. )
You could had protected me without lyin' to me. ( a small pause before she lets out another bombshell. ) — I have the gemstone still. I've got it hidden and I've made it known that I have it. And Vi still doesn't care that I got it.
... She never cared like you said she did.
no subject
His hand paused and he looked across the short distance between them at her accusation, sullen though it may be. Such a teenager still. She didn't grow up fast like everyone claimed that she would, not like the others of her age.]
I assumed she would come for it. After all, the only reason she was released from Stillwater was to be the Enforcer's sniffer dog for the undercity. [He pulled out a silver case from his inner coat pocket, opening it to examine the contents. Smoking a cigar was probably the second to last activity he should be doing to his lungs.] She hurt you when she walked away, and I didn't want you to experience that hurt again.
[The gemstone was of more value for them and the Enforcer even if it wasn't useful to Vander's girl. Vi happened to value the Enforcer more than a stone.]
no subject
... She hurt me when I got here. ( jinx quietly admits, voice going back to it's uneven wavers. )
There's this... — this girl she met here. Her hair is almost like mine, blue and in braids. And I think we're kinda the same age too. That's her other roommate. She said they're just friends and she helped her out once, but did they had to live under the same roof? So what if she helped her out? Does that mean they gotta live together?
... Vi thinks I'm reading too much into it.
no subject
Slowly, he steepled his fingers together as he considered the information. Another girl with similar characteristics as Jinx. He actually wondered if Jinx's sister was just stupid or actually was looking to ostracize her sister.
With a groan of pain, he pushed himself to his knees and crawled the short distance until he seated himself down next to her.]
Is she recreating Powder in this girl? [That's how he read the scene, knowing Jinx as he did.] Surely she's not so obtuse as to not make the connection of how the situation perceived from anyone else looking in on it. You're her sister. Why aren't you her priority, Jinx?
cw: voices
but being attentive to his words and his thoughts, it becomes a little clearer to her that maybe her mind wasn't twisted by thinking vi might had been drawn to mizuki due to the likeness after all. sure, vi was here alone, mizuki was here, and they became friends. she'd be squared away with that if that was it. but was them living together really necessary? the rooms weren't crowded until recently, after all. even when jinx explained her frustration to why them living together bothered her, vi didn't seem to get it. family stick together, they live together, and yet they're not living together like families should be. instead, she is with this girl and the enforcer in the same damn room... with her snuggling up against caitlyn or mizuki or both -- while she's been alone with her endless nightmares.
and it's true, vi did throw the suggestion of all four of them to live together, but why is she an afterthought of this whole ordeal? like silco said, she is her little sister. mizuki came before her, fine. but she and caitlyn both got here at the same time, so why did she picked caitlyn over her? why does she keep picking people before her?
'because you're different.'
the voice sounded similar to mylo's but mixed with some unknown one too. and it's that comment alone that has all her meekness and uncertainty dissolve, and mold into the fire her father use to see a lot in her eyes. and speaking of them, they glisten pretty heavily as she stares off into the ocean -- leaning a little further into silco with her forearm to his. jinx doesn't reply back to any of his questions, not that she can answer them anyway. )
no subject
Everyone would grow up, though once he became more familiar with the lay of the land here perhaps there were opportunities to let her just be a teenager.
When she made the choice to lean against him, he lifted his arm slowly out of the way so he could gently set it across the back of her shoulders. The people setting up for whatever was happening didn't seem to be staring, not that he would care if they did. He showed Jinx affection where he would show no one else, and right now, he knew that she needed it.]
I will always be in your corner. Never forget that, daughter.
[He sighed and it came out like a wheeze. Perhaps he would wait on that cigar for the moment then.]
It's us against the world. It has since the day we met, but we'll carve out a place for ourselves just as I promised. There or here, it doesn't matter.
[And yes, part of that was his fear of losing her, no matter how calm and put together he was for this conversation. Vi was a threat, and Silco dealt with threats in a very particular way. However, he wouldn't let emotion get the better of him this time; he'd plan better now that he was back to having nothing except Jinx.]
no subject
( jinx hums sweetly to him before peering up to her father, a tender hand place on his chest that isn't bloody or injured so much. her expression is gentle now, a complete contrast from seconds earlier. )
We gotta get you fixed up. — Think you can walk? There are doctors here and a few magic users. They should be able to help.
no subject
So if there was no Zaun, there was Jinx. He'd come to terms with that after reading what Zaun would cost, and even back then (which remained recent in his mind), it wasn't a difficult decision. In fact, it was downright easy for him.
His one regret was not going to find Jinx immediately after the treatments with the doctor, not that she would be found if she didn't want to be. Still, the act of searching would put him out there for her, to be more upfront of how much he cared. She wasn't alone.
Distracted from his usual quiet thinking, he lifted his head and focused his eyes from where they had been staring at the waves. He grunted softly at her patting to his chest, holding in a cough.]
Are the doctors trust-worthy? [Silco speak: I'd rather do this between us.]
no subject
I don't actually know.
( jinx admits sadly before adding on, lightly patting his chest to give him some kind of comfort and support. she still thinks giving him some of her shimmer would be the best choice of action here, but... she will only do it if he says so. )
I met this guy named Blackbeard. He's an old, cool, scruffy guy and we blew up some stuff together. ( not important or maybe this is? ) — He's one of my customers that I gotta build a gun for, for an exchange for money or... whatever he's gonna give me.
( still possibly useless information, but she gets to the point. )
He told me there were doctors here 'cuz he was worried about my condition. I told him a lil' about shimmer. ( she speedily adds just in case talking about the drug is a no-no. ) N-Not everything! Just, y'know, the normal crap. Good for fuel and yadda yadda. And he was worried about me goin' through withdrawals. So... he brought up the whole doctor stuff and I oughta see one.
I haven't, though.
no subject
He patted her shoulder lightly in return before he slowly eased his arm back to side. He shifted his weight where he was sitting, preparing himself mentally and physically to attempt to rise to his feet. He was walking himself off of this beach; there was no other choice as far as he was concerned.]
Withdrawals are a concern, given the necessary methods of treatment. However, a doctor is unlikely to be able to help with that, and if you haven't seen one, they likely aren't trustworthy.
[With a wheeze, he was shoving his hands into the sand and rolling his weight forward to he could get his feet under him. It was a painful struggle the entire way, and his teeth were bared as he staggered to his feet.]
We'll investigate the state of injury ourselves, and only if absolutely necessary will we include an outside party.
no subject
his daughter dips into frantic worry again as he preps himself to gather up to his feet. she keeps herself as close to him as possible without smothering him, an arm over his shoulder this time and a hand to his chest. jinx is more than ready to help him give an extra boost if needed. )
Silco, please. Let me just... give you some of my blood. I-I have shimmer, remember? Maybe if I just drop a lil' of my blood on your wounds or somethin', you'll feel better.
( does it work that way? she doesn't actually know. she has only seen people gulping down the stuff. )
no subject
In so public a place too! No matter, he was up and that's what was important.
Her concern for his well being was appreciated, and he showed that by not refusing her assistance at present. He was shaking his head to her request.]
Your Shimmer is for you, Jinx. In it's current state mixed with your blood and in your body, it won't have the effect you hope for.
[He took his first small step to make certain his leg wouldn't give out on him.]
I'll have to survive with wound cleaning and bandaging for now. And I will survive.
[He coughed, wheezing from pain but unwilling to accept anything less. He had survived Vander's betrayal, and he would survive this.]
Help me off the beach, Jinx.
no subject
for now, she keeps a hold on silco the best that she can ask she follows each step he took. his daughter looks on ahead at the festival party goers and how... busy it's becoming. so going that way might not be the best bet -- he or the two of them could easy get bumped or people asking too many questions when he made it clear he would rather not have outside party involved. jinx rattles her brain for different options, considering the inn since maybe everyone is out and about than indoors.
... then an idea hatches. if everyone is out and around (maybe), this could be a good opportunity to break in someone's room and get resources. her immediate thought is to charge into her sibling's room to gather all what she might need for silco. and if she knows her sister (at least trying to know her), she would have a lot of bandages and a medical kit lying around. if not, the stupid enforcer would had definitely stored some in their room by now. right, okay. that's going to be the plan. get him to the inn, break into her sister's love nest, and take whatever she needs. )
Let's go this way, to the Inn. Maybe there's less people there now.
no subject
Of course, she had made it very clear on their last encounter the heightened sensitivity towards perceived untruths or hiding information. The misunderstanding had ended with a chest full of bullets.]
Once we're off the beach, we can discuss Shimmer more in depth. I'm not inclined to risk someone overhearing and trying something foolish.
[He was perfectly fine was just finding a bolthole to settle in, somewhere dark and musty that was so similar to little places to hide in the undercity. Fancy was the last thing he needed right now, but he wanted to be off of the beach. They were too vulnerable here and now there were too many people to concern themselves with.]
Is that where you are currently living?
no subject
... No. I don't live anywhere. But I was thinkin' if everyone is out here, then some rooms gotta be empty right now. I can break in, grab some things and patch you up.
( jinx doesn't want to confess the next thing, but she knows she has to give an explanation to why she hadn't took a room for herself this whole time. )
I've been weak. ( she admits this quietly enough for him to hear. ) — Every day I feel energy leaving me. I'm goin' on low with ammo and I've found a few scraps here but... no tools to make anything. So I've been doing lil' odd jobs for the locals to, I dunno, get me somewhere.
( which explains her outfit possibly. a person can't keep wearing the same things day in and day out. and so basically what jinx is getting at is she is a prey than a predator at her current state. and she's been trying to not rock the boat with the chosen, especially with any magic users. )
I've chatted with a few good ones here, though. If they see you banged up like this, I know they'll be nice enough to take ya in at least for one night.
( notice she is saying him and not the two of them. but that's because his health and comfort is a higher priority. another night in the wilderness won't kill her as long she doesn't stay too deep in the forest. )
no subject
I have no issue taken advantage of that situation. So, if you aren't staying in the inn, where have yourself up?
[He walked slowly with her assistance, focusing on putting one foot in front of the other and also breathing. It was going to be a chore to try to sleep. Yet, his attention shifted at her admittance, and he nodded his head. Not in understanding - he'd never taken an excessive amount of Shimmer.]
You've survived, and that's what is important, Jinx. You've gotten the lay of the laid and experienced its limitation. From here, you'll adapt. That's your strength.
[He expected that they could make their way through this strange setting with its criminals and its oddities to carve out a niche for themselves. That was until they could find a way to dominate this place or find a way back to Zaun. He didn't want to think of his own potential limitations yet.]
If that's the case, you'll be my bodyguard for that night, yes?
no subject
since she's been here, jinx often thought to herself "what would silco do?" or "what would he want for me to do?", "would he be proud of me?". and she spent countless nights in the pessiria forest in front of his homemade tombstone she craved herself talking to him, and asking for advice or guidance. )
Always and forever.
( because nothing is going to tear her apart from protecting him (especially with no sevika around). and thank goodness while they're being careful with each step in front of the other, they seem to be approaching actual solid ground. the locals are in all smiles and laughter as they hurry off to the opposite direction of them, rearing to go to experience the festivities. some do look over at the two of them with concern looks, but jinx shoots an occasional "buzz off" or "mind your business" to keep them moving along. )
Lemme know if we gotta stop to rest.
( because luckily the village has a couple of benches or vacant merchant booth stands for him to sit or lean on to catch his breath if needed. although on the brighter side of them moving slowly, it gives silco a little more of an insight of what aldrip has in store. )
no subject
[All Zaunites made the mistake to nestle into a place down low under trash and hope no one found them. Some made it multiple times in their lives and others only needed the lesson once. Sleeping alone was also problematic where one could be taken advantage of or beaten in the streets for everything they had on their person.
It had been a long time since he had slept without some structure over his head. He never forgot the rough lessons of Zaun though. He had mastered finding little places higher up and out of sight as a young man, and now he didn't quite need those same skills. Apparently they might come in handy.]
Good. I will need you now as always.
[At least until he was healed enough to be on his feet. This was by no means a comment that he needed her all day and night, just the times of vulnerability. He expected that she would wander off as he would to see what this strange world had to offer.
And right now, it was his turn to offer a tired sort of smile and a wave of his hand if any of the locals seemed to be concerned. Jinx had the right attitude to be opposite to himself, and that was for the best. He could build himself up as the wounded man with an overprotective crass daughter, and it would open a few doors for future information.
One foot in front of the other, and it did become easier as they moved off of the shifting and uneven stand. He was still wheezing hard by the time the 'city' itself came into view, and he curled his lip in distaste. That was it? Oh, this was going to take some getting used to.]
Ah, our new kingdom. I imagine the inn isn't far, and it does seem to be rapidly expanding. Prison life is good for business then.
no subject
A lil' spit and shine and I bet we can turn this place around. ( jinx beams brightly as she turns down a path towards the inn. ) — But there's another village I went to called Rumpitur, I think. That place's got nothin' but scaley folks. It's a lil' like this place, but meaner and more about makin' weapons outta bones.
Been hearin' there's more towns, but it'll take days or even weeks to get there on foot.
no subject
So we will, yes. They are going to need someone who is used to dealing with quick expansion projects. [When he had taken over the Lanes and then the rest of the Undercity had followed he meant.] Though, perhaps we should start with this Rumpitur and expand to this little quaint place.
[He wasn't looking to start from scratch. There had to be some infrastructure and populous otherwise the work would go too slowly. And if Rumpitur had a more violently inclined population, it would used his purposes for a Zaun-style take-over. He'll so this place racketeering.]
no subject
( she informs him quickly as they approach the inn now, doing her best to be careful with him when it comes to the steps and the gravel at the entrance. )
The forest got a lotta creepy crawly monsters in there. They're good for target practice.
( and flinging the door open, the main hall/tavern of the inn is surprisingly quiet and not crowded. people must be at the festival or elsewhere which is great news for the two of them. less eyes and easy for her to raid her older sister's room for things (if mizuki isn't in, that is). the ambience of the inn is a little nostalgic to say the least. somewhat like the last drop, but when it was under vander's care. not hectic or wild behaviors of neon lights and music. it's just a very lull place where people chat among themselves, grab a drink, eat, or relax by the fireplace. jinx guides the two of them to the nearest table -- beckoning her father to take a seat on the bench so he can properly rest from all the walking they just did. )
— Aaaaannd here we go ♪. I oughta fetch ya some water.
no subject
[It pulled just a touch of a fond smile to the corner of his lips, though if weapons were hard to come by, that would need to be rectified. It might be his second order of business once he had assessed this place based on its merits and flaws.]
So it would seem I might have to brush up on some old skills of mine.
[Knife skills. He wasn't much of a fighter and never cared to be. There were other ways to survive the Undercity, but he knew his way around weapons as needed.
He hobbled his way into the inn with assistance, his mismatched eyes moving around to drink in their surroundings. This was quite the quaint little place, wasn't it? He wondered how much it was worth, and he settled for pondering that as he eased himself down on the bench gratefully. His feet remained flat on the floor, but he leaned over almost immediately to only hold himself up by his elbows to his knees.
It was only then he allowed himself to breathe as hard as he needed to in order to catch his breath. It was a mistake to force himself to appear strong on the walk, but he had his pride. Sometimes that's all he had.]
Is this where all the new criminals come when they wash up?
no subject
dusting sand off her braids, she grants her father a nod and another smile. )
Yyyyep! We wake up in weird spots and get told, — ( in a goofy tone:) "Come to Aldrip!" ( then her voice dips back to normal. ) And then we do and we come straight here. This is hot spot where everyone asks what the hell is happenin' or figure out what's what.
( and speaking of, she reminds herself something and she digs in her collar to pull out her charm necklace again. this time, jinx takes it off completely and taps the center of the jewelry. when she does this, there seems to be some holographic imagery that appears in front of her -- not crazy big, but enough for her to look at and no onlookers can peek on what she's doing. a few finger swipes here and there until finally, she comes across what she's looking for. )
Here.
( she says, approaching by his side and hands him her necklace. the thing she has pulled up for him is this text entry that was made two weeks ago. )
Read this. That's the guy I was tellin' ya about. ( his daughter swipes her finger from side to side to demonstrate how to move from one thing to the next and back again. ) — These three conversations here are pretty important to read.
( the first text conversation after the big massive one is this (which the conversation does seem to end silly, but hey, it started off very good!), a secondary one that also ends silly, but important. and lastly... well... there's a reason this one is dead last. the last text conversation is between the guy and vi. and while she knows his hatred towards her and might not care to read what she has to say, she... actually has a little connection to the recent happenings. )
I'll go get us somethin' to drink, look for a kit, and check on, uh... the you-know-what.
( aka the gemstone. meaning that little marble is somewhere hidden in this inn. )
