(ritornello: Eastertide {40 select days between March 26 - December 31}, 1978 ["Die, Detective!"]) - Egg Pascha, a young southpaw steel worker from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, moved to Brandywine to enlist in the United States Coast Guard. A ranking seaman (E-3), his bravery as a search-and-rescue amphibious diver (frogman) is quickly acknowledged and rewarded in forming a lasting friendship with his superior, Alven (PO3). The two have ambitions of being entertainers as a side hustle with their four-person vaudeville troupe 'Bruno'. ¶Auditions for the final talent show at the famed Temple Theater are taking place before its shuttering, which happens to coincide with both the intra-city riot instigated by the aftermath of aggression towards the GO outfit, as well as a spree of mysterious abductions of military personnel by some menace profiled as "Colin" that began earlier in the Summer. ¶--- NARRATIVE: After a six-year city-mandated hiatus, Brandywine's famed Temple Theater is having what it calls its 'Easter Week': a one-off weeklong revival showcase ("The Jukebox") before it finally closes its doors due to increasing blight in the north part of town; the neighborhood is no longer as safe and vibrant as it was just a decade prior. The African-American (B1/ADOS/FBA) community is still feeling the effects of the Civil Rights Movement, compounded with first Chief of Police and then-Mayor Luigi's antics and policies frozen in place during that decade. Turning inward, the Community becomes increasingly activist, self-destructive, and simultaneously self-expressive. In the middle of all this we have some blue-eyed soul, a young Egg Pascha who is also struggling to find his place in the world as he chases his dreams, follows his heart, and succumbs to destiny. This part of the story (fictitiously what transpires in the aftermath of the Amateur Night held on Saturday August 5, 1978) is the most pivotal in telling because the events define who and what our eponym is (to become). ¶The criminal investigation that suspects mafia boss Busbee "Don Antony" Pistacchio (Tellatoya family) sponsored illegal maritime deals, is thisclose to a fruitful conclusion before attention is abruptly shifted. Now, GO's leader, Aegypt, has been branded as Public Enemy #1, even though his version of Black empowerment - dubbed "Brotherly Love" - is virtually harmless and would actually be beneficial to the community at-large. Alven's young pregnant wife, Norma, craving more masculinity from her marriage, is now torn between loyalties to her husband's ambition with 'Bruno' and her own ambition within GO, thereby creating a costly melodrama. ¶Local law enforcement is strained under newly appointed district attorney Ember Libitina because of an obsession with Aegypt; she plays dirty and her 'tough on crime' stance may prove to be irresponsible jurisprudence. Her office has seemingly ignored peril in the rest of the City to focus ruthlessly on Aegypt, an eccentric freedom fighter whose community-building efforts are taken to be a direct threat to the Brandywine Police Department. Aegypt is rebellious against law enforcement and high-technology, but not in a demonstrative way; he'd much rather tend to his 'anti-pollution' lifestyle with his followers in their own small section of town. His group, GO, recently purchased a block of houses in the university district, and are intent on converting those into a spiritual health cooperative for Black people. GO's ideologies speak to racial harmony and financial discipline for all, but city codes are intolerant of communals boarding convicted criminals. ¶Somebody has called for wholesale assassinations as the BPD attempts to evict GO and serve arrest warrants, but is met with self-defense crossfire. In response, bombs are dropped in a residential area, resulting in death, destruction, and lies. ¶Due to his background of investigative work in the private sector, Egg Pascha - employed as a double agent private eye - had been personally courted by Mayor Luigi to surveil the group and monitor its movements as the uncouth executive mobilizes the police force whose brutality further disturbs the peace, leading to factions erupting into a self-destructive warzone in which Pascha finds himself in the middle of. Because of the assignment, his espionage has him feeling like a traitor; the wife of his colleague, Alven - who is also his fraternal brother, is a member of GO, and the three of them are part of a band that has advanced to the finals in the local talent show. He must now ask himself if it is worth risking his one shot at making it big in Hollywood? The answer to this question will shape the rest of life. ¶Certain persons within GO, refusing to relinquish their freedom, become reactionary after being backed into a corner, and start to behave as they see fit. Never liking or trusting Pascha, anyway, an especially frightened Norma defends herself by pushing the limits of the law to include manslaughter. Her supportive sibling, Dominique, devises a way for the family to circumvent the legal system, but not before she and her unborn child are seemingly unalived by Egg Pascha. This act immediately impacts the relationship between the comrades, even though Pascha swears to Alven that it was somehow an accident and maintains his innocence. Either way, it happened on his watch, so he has to live and die with that guilt. ¶On the brink of stamping a ticket to a new career, Egg Pascha and Alven together must prove their mettle in a daring, action-packed deep sea rescue mission stemming from an active terrorist attack on the Salem Nuclear Power Plant in New Jersey under the cover of the region's worst seasonal weather in years. The future can only accept one of them after this figurative and literal storm calms down, and they each know this. During a haywire aurora borealis, their loyalties will be tested as Egg Pascha comes in radio contact with a bizarre figure who offers information that aids in solving "cold cases of yesteryear". ¶Secret exploration plans (via NASA Voyager program) are in motion to probe 'Wormwood' - a recently discovered celestial object orbiting planet Neptune. The applications of said event provide an enormous opportunity for technological advancement, but for whom? ¶Something about the Year 2049. ¶In the meantime, a major shipbuilding magnate by the name of Maundy Lindros lurks around the city government, flaunting her industrial-strength money and changing Brandywine's political landscape with her bribery and ambitions; abusing her status to essentially buy controlling seats on the City Council. Via her business, Lindros FlyerCast and Irons, Ltd., she recently acquired the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard + Pennsport as a permanent base upon relocating from Port Richmond, and brought some steadyhands with her, including the disposable Dominique. Swift-acting, Maundy's considerable wealth and intelligence has afforded her extraordinary influence, which she uses to seize the power vacuum and broker a recompense deal with the jurisdiction's Black (B1/ADOS/ FBA) demographic that leads to the creation of a new sector - called 'Meroë' - for the City's transgressions against GO; a chess move in her designs of iterative power acquisition. On paper, this district's main function is to act as a separate-but-equal establishment to carry-out Aegypt's would-be vision. But in reality, it's re-purposed as a proxy for Lindros' secretive business dealings. Coincidentally, Lindros was Pascha's employer in Bethlehem, PA before he too settled in Brandywine with an undiagnosed early onset of Parkinson's disease (probably contracted from the jobsite) that has only exacerbated since. ¶All of these characters pull our Coastie in directions that overlap each other, making for a fascinating documentary for personal gain by the novelist Junior Mayne in his soon-to-be-released (1979) exploitative anthology titled, 'Gumshoe, Neverlasting'.
¶-- A
(suite: Lent - Easter Sunday, present-day ["Chords N-O-A-H"]) - The entity named 'SAINT BERNARD' (SB) has made a number of under-the-table deals over the course of the past few months with religious sects worldwide to force the prophesied Third Temple's erection. Meanwhile, a worldwide pandemic in the form of a viral neurotoxin (biowarfare?) has crippled the global economy, and the anticipated aftermath of a recovery has sparked fears of a hegemonic shift between the Western and Eastern hemispheres; potentially resulting in a clash of cultures and an inevitable world war. SB's deliberate attempt to invoke the Second Coming tickles the diabolical beaks of war hawks, but not without consequence. ¶The United States is entering a recession amidst a hemispherical pandemic as Congress teeters with unsolicited countermeasures against the volatile Eastern Bloc, threatening Armageddon. For all it's worth, the Russians have played their cards right: they correctly bet that starting another relatively minor invasion with her neighbor would cause NATO to react by picking sides with and blindly supporting the opposition, thereby delivering economic inflation in those countries, to which voters would swing the pendulum back to neoconservatism, headed by Kremlin operatives posing as darkhorse influencers who favor so-called 'democracy'. In short, traitors have convened in Washington, and now the 3+1 branches of government can no longer trust each other until things get sorted out. ¶A lifetime of scheming landed her in bed with D.C. elites, and mayor Ember Libitina has maneuvered her penultimate power play: fracturing the District of Columbia. House Speaker Henza Turtl is pressuring Lindros to modify the company's payloads in order to accommodate an expected wave of asylum seekers relocating to the Delaware Valley, underhanding a batch of new legislation on 'Capitol Hall' (a synedoche for the ruling frame stationed at offices transferred within City Hall now that the nation's capital resettled [1790-1800] to Brandywine temporarily since the infrastructure / structural integrity of Legislative Branch edifices in the District have been jeopardized) that can have serious societal repercussions. ¶Maundy's personal gamble on 'Meroë' (fictional East Philly, modeled - in spirit - after historic Greenwood, Tulsa, Oklahoma) has paid dividends, but the maturity of the compromise came with a clash of social residuals (eg. home rule, self-sufficiency) that even she didn't anticipate, especially the reactions from the regional crypto/energy-dealing kingpin, Theo. In response, she finally activates/initiates her long-brewing clandestine "NOAH" plans ('ArC Project') - an underwater argon-powered vessel meant to later dock off-world with an already-orbiting miniature probe in Neptune's atmosphere. ¶Suffering from massive hallucinations (including prosopometamorphopsia and visions of the ghost of his eight-years-dead ex-wife haunting him) which have left him as his own worst enemy, old man Egg Pascha has reluctantly returned to Brandywine to receive clinical care for his neurodegenerative diseases. Being the victim of identity theft, a personal wish is granted as his past heroics seem to go unnoticed; only his true friend is willing to vouch for him on his behalf as hardly anyone recognizes him anymore (or is it the other way around?). ¶Having reverted to his role of private investigator, the deal is that he volunteer with the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary (CGAPD) in exchange for both therapy and record expungement (namely, waiving a prior dishonorable discharge and thereby receive his full pension, in addition to getting health benefits that include copay treatment [L-DOPA] for his Parkinson's/diabetes package), while reporting intel directly to mayor Libitina for her protection because an obstinate bias towards a nonsensical "conservative liberal" agenda has proven to be too divisive during her trying re-election campaign against police chief Curran and an unexpected groundbreaking third-party candidate in a race that would put its winner in a position - perhaps not as the country's figurehead, but its de facto leader - having obvious federal implications. As a favor, he is prescribed a military-grade high-tech companion gadget, 'Stuart', aiding in his treatment. Additionally, the detective is assigned an understudy, Bunny, who is revealing herself to be trouble. Together, their job is to help rein in Theo. ¶Bunny is a studly NCIS officer who is fresh off the murder case of Felix Yota that she just helped solve. There is a new assignment for the talented young officer who is being quickly promoted through the ranks of the Coast Guard Investigative Service (CGIS): a dragnet is on for "Theo", the mid-Atlantic's most dangerous gang leader. Bringing Theo to justice could lead to great rewards and coveted recognition that comes along with it. With the assistance of her connections to the city government and dubious ties to the criminal underworld, this shouldn't be a problem, and wouldn't be if she can just do things her way. ¶Pascha's medical condition and extended visit have become burdensome to his caretaker/guardian daughter this Easter holiday; to cope, Lily's busy schedule leaves little room for much else besides managing her work pod (herself + Gunyo + Earl Ellis), and she prefers it that way. ¶An old rivalry is rekindled as the mysterious Mr. Alphabet - the world's richest person - and his conglomerate, Nile LLC, steadily move into town from Portland, Oregon looking to build out its new corporate co-headquarters. As an unorthodox method for talent scouting, he has pledged considerable re-investment into Brandywine (the country's most impoverished zip codes) in the form of creating a city-wide tournament for artificial intelligence (AI) development - Philadelphia Artificial Lambda Model (PALM) {trained on Lnq's work from #lnq, and the reason behind what sparks my character's involvement} in hopes of transforming her to become America's premier smart city, an effect causing tribes to scramble for a piece of the sweepstakes.The local magnate, Maundy Lindros, feels that her business dealings may be threatened by the arrival of the new enterprise, and looks to act quickly. In opposition to her, the city's mayor, Ember Libitina, seeks to oblige the requests of Mr. Alphabet, which entails expediting cleaning up the streets of crime, poverty, and foul activity to go hand-in-hand with his investment. Maundy, who has puppeteered thugs and drug lords to do her bidding in the past, once again encounters her legal nemesis, except that this time - in the midst of an important political election season - the stakes are much higher. Meanwhile, Theo is on the hunt for city personnel who could thwart him. The Mayor's Office responds to the very serious potential challenges posed by the kingpin by placing Ember in the care of Pascha for the time being. ¶Meddling in municipal business, the tycoon has become a nuance to both Libitina and Lindros, having spent a fortune of his own cash in order to run the show behind-the-scenes. Taking a page from Maundy's old playbook, Mr. Alphabet also wants to use the Jersey peninsula as his personal playground; he's contracting it for his side hustle of launching rockets into low orbit to construct a worldwide network of telecommunications satellites. ¶Allthewhile, sports of all avenues, is getting an overhaul from the conservative right-wing body politic that sees communal gaming being dominated by Black athletes as a public hazard. To elaborate, collegiate Black athletes are finally negotiating their self-worth (ie. superior "B-genes") at the pro-am levels, an innovation that tips the balance of the sports landscape by dramatically shifting the bulk of advertising revenues from PWIs to HBCUs. Now schools of the latter will have the funds to do quality research and development with competitive outcomes. To stopgap the labor drain in an effort to maintain an advantage, conferences are modifying the rules in the 11th hour. More broadly, as an embarrassing admission that these changes take precedence, Speaker Turtl has, in response to the mobility, introduced legislation on the House Floor titled 'Cotton and Chains Act', which aims to - among other things - reduce non-compliant subjects to non-profit status in the name of "education". Also snuck in the bill is a mandate calling for refugees from the Eastern Bloc to be relocated to Pennsylvania. Turtl and her conservative cohorts have designs on "getting things back to the way they were". ¶Compounding the chaos, a recent string of drug-related murders in the neighborhoods of Irish Charm has the authorities on-edge due to a slick+nasty serial killer with seemingly personal ties to the mayor. ¶In the midst of an outbreak that has quarantined large swaths of the population, in a different section of town, there has been yet another sensationalized act of fatal violence committed toward an unarmed and presumed innocent minority at the hands of law enforcement, this time, they belong to Pascha's own partner, Bunny. Recently teamed with retired lieutenant Pascha (who is supervising as part of his community service exit interview requirements) for port security, Bunny surmises that the most opportune time to test the limits of her authority without askance will and has come while under the tutelage of one of the most controversial officers in this country's history. On a routine traffic stop, and doubtedly 'fearing for her life', she opens fire on a seatbelted father and his young daughter, killing them both. With no witnesses other than an unwitting Pascha, the precincts and city are left with the difficult task of explaining and defending this tragedy to the public. Questions arise: is there innocence in this case, and where to place the blame? -- and are answered quickly: blame is placed squarely on Egg Pascha, framing him. Furthermore, because of what appears to be a curtailing of a kingpin's business dealings, a hit is put out on the detective's life, endangering him. This miscarriage has put the whole country - already fragile from previous similar occurrences - on-edge. Unfortunately for said law enforcement, the difference between other jurisdictions and the City of Brotherly Love is that she lives up to her reputation as being the most blue-collar, no-nonsense town in America, totally intolerant of brutality towards its citizens by those who have taken an oath to protect them. They have social media and a backlog of public case studies replete with examples of no justice being brought to officers in the courts of law. Where there was hope and maybe even expectation of a drawn out trial that could potentially result in an acquittal, certain neighborhoods - exhausted from fighting for very limited resources, have other plans for dealing with the perpetrators and the interrelated corrupt justice system. ¶Egg Pascha's reputation causes this incident of police brutality to be pinned on our detective, sending the Black [B1/ADOS/FBA] demographic of the City spinning, and people are calling for his apprehension. Pascha is later arrested and must stand trial - not just for this frame job, but moreso for the mishandling of the Aegypt case (labeled "Easter" because it was filed on March 26 of that year) in 1978 to which he has been tied. Unsatisfied, the People form militias and start an insurrection - reminiscent of the local Flying Horses riot of 1834, forcing the situation to devolve into 'Helter Skelter' in the midst of this already tough election climate. Even with a speedy in order because of deteriorating health, a mistrial looms and Pascha is bailed out of jail by his longtime buddy, Alven - who is in town honoring a widower's pact that tests his fealty to the max, resulting in the two of them becoming fugitives subjected to a manhunt during Holy Week. ¶Enter Lnq (The Man himself, yours truly. ;). ¶In the wake of this, we have me (lnq) as a disgruntled civilian, who, having been disillusioned with authority after his own recent encounter with the legal system moved him beyond reproach, devises a plan to carry-out what he sees is the only logical solution to stop and prevent any further foul play against his community - the extermination of all police departments, fire stations, hospitals, regional National Guard, and the dismemberment of local officials (eg. those elected, ombuds, prosecutors, etc.) for whom they serve. The peaceful, polite way to do this? -run for political office. Otherwise, he is even willing to take his cause further - carnage: orchestrate an all-out war against anybody who is in disagreement with his self-reliance/self-preservation, protectionist philosophy. Inevitably, random persons are made at fault and no one is a safe target. He rationalizes being his own judge+jury (however sadistic) by using the survival of the fittest evolutionary tactic. ¶Before being sentenced to a hospital for a non-violent offense, lnq was working specifically under a federal grant (a weeks-long hackathon sponsored by the U.S. Forest Service) at a firestation to build+research urban watersheds for a statewide 'green' ("healthy") initiative. His findings were that somebody was 'poisoning the well', so to speak with neurological agents deliberately placed into the drinking water of targeted African-American (B1/ADOS/FBA) neighborhoods in Brandywine and Bucks County. His investigation led him to discover that this had been done perhaps intentionally by an intra-organizational conspiracy. ¶When he went to report his findings to his superiors, he was immediately re-assigned, and the project spec dismantled. He was later falsely labeled, timely laid-off, and then framed for three counts of tampering with federal equipment. Each count held up to one year as punishable by law. Because these were minor trespasses, the authorities decided to ship him interstate to a psychiatric ward in Deer Lodge, Elsewhere for his sentence (1,000 days). ¶While on the inside, with his freedoms gone, he did plenty of introspection. He may have tried to find religion to some degree, or at least what it means to be 'religious' in the midst of Hell, by sampling the unit's library. But then decided that he's actually not a coward; that it's actually against his best interests to seek false protection from others who were legitimately sick. ¶With all of his learning and understanding, he found some things about the Holy Bible to be astonishingly peculiar to him. After reading the Good Book from cover-to-cover, he began to believe that he was blessed, not cursed. His psychosis became more potent over the course of his sentence, and had gotten to a point in schizophrenia where he totally converted to his own belief system where he interprets the Bible as one big astrotheological tarot card reading. ¶What he found came directly from three books in the Bible: Genesis, Deuteronomy, and Revelation (ie. the first, the fifth, and the last). He would use all three to make his case that B1 are the 'cursed' people referred to in the Scriptures, and, thus, can be justified going on a crusade. Chapters+verses from Revelation, especially, convinced him of Brandywine (his hometown) (as) being the last remaining of the Seven Churches, and that his followers would come from her when called. Figuring that his ancestral African slaves ('Egypt') were brought to American (Virginia) shores in August 1619, that era (between then +430 years = 2049) is now, he thinks, especially since Neptune is at home in the sign of Pisces (12th house representing closure) during this final transit (April 4, 2011 - January 26, 2026) of his lifetime. ¶So, when we get introduced to lnq in the church scene alongside Dominique, we know that he's at the tail-end of his spiritual journey. From his personal failings, he has arrived at the inevitable delusion: that because it may be difficult to thrive under oppression, he should not co-exist with his oppressor(s). ¶That mode of thinking catapulted him into the depths of anguish and back again, where he began irreversible experiments of self-mutilation. These actions ended up costing him his arm in the process, which was later replaced with a bionic prosthetic. ¶Back in Brandywine, he now has full awareness (red-pilled and seething). With little to lose, no time to waste, and realizing that he must act quickly if he is to self-fulfill a prophesy (of Armageddon and thus ending the curse). Accomplishing this is no small feat, as he sees enemies in regular folk as well as the corporations (viewing America itself as a corporation) -- all shareholders in corruption, and which are equally as guilty in oppressing him over time. Certain targets are harder to hit for reasons that are out of his area of expertise, but that's not going to stop him from trying. ¶Led by the vigilante, lnq , the 'Four Horsemen' (consisting of myself and henchmen - the lame boy Hephaestus + his mother Hera Juno + an architect Pallas Olopong) have made it their sole objective to exact revenge on Pascha and his ilk, forcing each to become the other's target. Put in survival-mode, he must rely on his latent military skills to navigate an intense battlefield against an AI that is playing wargames in civil war-torn Brandywine, which itself is cocooned inside an escalating armed conflict that in a short span has - thanks largely to his own ego - red alerted President Victor Guyold's White House and the Pentagon, as well as spawned defensive posturing from other global superpowers. ¶Stalking with a personal vendetta is Alven's brother-in-law, Dominique - fresh out of the penitentiary, whom Egg Pascha can no longer avoid. His calls of street justice for what was done to him when they were young men now demand a final answer (actually, Dominique's main goal is strike down Ember, no matter what it takes. He is out for revenge against her particularly, as she was the one who got him locked up for decades when she was DA. Pascha is problematic for him here because he is running her security detail. Alven dealing in choices on with whom to side leads to strife.). ¶With a special political election underway, the town's entrenched power elite are out to protect themselves from this rising menace (potential civil enmity) at considerable cost. Their tentacles run deep. Pascha's entire flotilla [spearheaded by Admiral Goode] turns against him (forcing him into absolute fugitivity), leaving him embroiled in a search for the truth about his colleagues, the city, and own future. Ironically, when he needs to be the most, he is perhaps at the least selfish point in his life; careless of what happens to himself, Egg Pascha desperately wonders if he can repair his broken relationships before it is too late? For even though he is hard on dying, his last bit of luck is a currency that must be spent.
(overture: Days 0 ["MURDER"]) - //The pilot webisodes are 2d cinema before the story moves to incorporate hyperreality.// --The title "Days 0" implies that its events are non-linear, unlike the rest of the program whose events supposedly happen in realtime. Timeline-wise, this part of Days 0 takes place in the middle of the last two acts during the civil war that is occurring in Brandywine. Implications from this scene lead to Egg Pascha getting arrested. ¶Egg Pascha is in trouble. Our boy is wanted for murder, actually. Framed? Perhaps. But, let's not deny that he's done his fair share of dirt of over the past few decades, and it's only a matter of time before karma catches up to him. One would think - or like to - that somebody gains more friends and compassion from others as they age. Well, it's just the opposite for Pascha, and it's sad, really. ¶The charges levied against him are substantial, but really are the least of his worries. These days, senescence has his mind going. Time seems to be flying by faster and faster for him. If his brain stops working, is he technically dead? He might as well be. By the looks of it there are those that want him gone. That sucks. We're talking about an old man here, have they no mercy? Nope. Brandywine is full of the four C's: crooks, corruption, crime, and those with a crabs-in-a-pot mentality. He may be having a difficult time remembering his past, but the City doesn't forget. He's back at home, right at home. ¶A saving grace, if we are to call it that, is that Egg Pascha has help. In order to get it, though, he must assist in solving an open criminal case that's not yet cold, but sits at lukewarm. That help comes in the form of much needed medication for his neurodegeneration. It also comes disguised as a buddy cop named Bunny. He's had on-duty partners in the past, but they don't seem to last long because he works better alone. On this case, so does Bunny. She's not a nice person, nor does she pretend to be. It doesn't help that she has built-in ill-will towards Pascha. Bunny has issues with men in general, doesn't like old people, and 'hops' around labs and crime scenes as she pleases - like her name suggests. Pascha only slows her down. That tension makes the temperature drop, further chilling the case. Still, everybody gets one true friend in Life, and for Egg Pascha that's Alven, his longtime companion who is there acting as his power of attorney and moves at a similar speed. ¶Back in Brandywine, Bunny is Pascha's partner/understudy as the duo hunt for "Theo", the region's notorious criminal figure. She respects Pascha's talents, but doesn't like him as a person, and that is an added layer of frustration that our ailing detective has to deal with. ¶Lnq is our favorite puzzler who is more of a freedom fighter these days (at least in this story). After digging into his history, lnq is confused as to why Egg Pascha is such a celebrated man? Afterall, he destroyed a plaza in Los Angeles, obliterated an airport and transportation system in the nation's capital, rummaged through New York City, and almost caused a nuclear war in Ukraine. It's people like that who should be locked up, not roaming freely. His personal beef with Pascha is that he is working directly for Ember Libitina, the corrupt mayor whom he believes is underhandedly keeping Brandywine's crime statistics to a personal quota. ¶Together, lnq and Bunny take a break from their respective public servant duties in Brandywine to pay a visit to Ric Flair - world-famous wrestler - in Georgia. Planning to retrieve and use the information to blackmail Pascha, they seek confirmation to the rumor that Flair may have been romantically involved with Pascha's now-dead ex-wife and fathered her daughter, Lily, sometime in the late 1970s. A visit to Flair, a discussion with him, and a DNA sample collected from him may help substantiate their hypothesis that Pascha is suffering from a mental and emotional breakdown, which is making his abuse of the law a menace to society. If true, this may be the source of his emotional/mental instability and the perfect excuse with which to frame him. ¶Flair is familiar with Pascha's old exploits and himself is left bewildered at the request; he has his own family already, and this news, while disturbing, obviously does nothing for anyone's well-being. In fact, it leaves him feeling bullied and wondering if this cop and volunteer firefighter are the more nefarious persons than they make an individual (Egg Pascha) whom he's never met out to be.-- ¶AFTER A LENGTHY INCARCERATION, DOMINIQUE IS ABOUT TO BE FREED FROM PRISON, BUT WHILE STILL THERE, USES HIS INSIDE INFLUENCES TO PUPPETEER - WITH THE AID OF HIS BROTHER-IN-LAW, ALVEN - THE OUTSIDE CRIMINAL WORLD AS HE PLOTS HIS REVENGE. ¶AN NCIS AGENT, BUNNY, IS AS RUTHLESS AS SHE IS CUNNING IN TAKING ON BRANDYWINE'S CRIMINAL UNDERWORLD BY HERSELF, SUCCUMBING TO PASSION ALONG THE WAY. --Harkening backwards somewhat to create a referential plot point, Bunny has just deciphered clue codes that allow the cold case of Felix Yota to begin to thaw in the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary (USCGA) unit's ongoing months-long investigation of his brutal murder (victim's head crushed, mutilated genitalia, beating, etc.). It turns out that the victim was dating an intern of Mayor Libitina. There are suspicions that Bunny had somehow been involved in the crime from the start, and was protected by the mayor herself as a favor. Hence, we can see why she is rising in the ranks rather quickly. ¶A new assignment is underway for the talented young officer who is being quickly promoted through the ranks of the Coast Guard Investigative Service (CGIS): a dragnet is on for "Theo", the pest giving the mid-Atlantic a major headache. Bringing him to justice could lead to great rewards and coveted recognition that comes along with it. With the assistance of her connections to the city government and dubious ties to the criminal underworld, this shouldn't be a problem, and wouldn't be if she can just do things her way.-- ¶MAUNDY LINDROS' BUSINESS DEALINGS ARE UNDER THREAT. LILY AND HER POD ORCHESTRATE A CRUCIAL CONTRACT WITH THE U.S. GOVERNMENT THAT AFFECTS THE SECURITY OF THE ENTIRE COUNTRY. ¶A HIGH-TECH, HIGH-STAKES TOURNAMENT IS UNDERWAY IN THE REGION AS A MEGACOMPANY ESTABLISHES ITS SECOND HEADQUARTERS IN BRANDYWINE. ¶THE MOB HAS LET AN OUTSIDE INVESTIGATION GET TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT. ITS BOSS DECIDES TO GET HIS HANDS DIRTY. ¶INCOMPETENCE CAUSES A MURDER INVESTIGATION TO SWITCH LEADS, INADVERTENTLY INTRODUCING NEW SUBPLOTS AND OLD FAMILIAR CHARACTERS.
Codename '3/8' (pronounced like "three-eigths", aka 'easter') is a tragedy told over four chords (N-O-A-H) interspersed with a ritornello commencing in gritty 1978 Brandywine. In the backdrop of geopolitics, its parallel dramas are rooted in concurrent timelines, and follows Egg Pascha as he begins his fateful series of misfortunate events that have both tagged+shaped him in the present-day. He has every intention of living out the remainder of his life quietly in Elsewhere, but there are other karmic factors/obligations that must be cleared first. Figuring that his cognitive faculties are betraying him due to his bout with
"All things being equal, I'd rather be in Brandywine." - Egg Pascha
¶---Neo-noir moving picture adaptations of detective novels - starting with various eponymous entries as a source of inspiration/speculation - is independently succeeded here. Their literary motifs of tumult, claustrum, revenge, paranoia, and distress are further incorporated into this tragedy - an honest attempt to interpret the biblical Book of Revelation, albeit in a medium that addresses the needs of our dramaturgy. As such, the central character is atavistically brought back to his roots; carefully avoiding the regular-turned-superheroic trend that has been critically panned in recent productions.
¶The storyline follows an ordinary man of law enforcement (here his name is "Egg Pascha", which is a generic substitute nomen for 'Easter[P]') who continually rises to the occasion when he finds himself in precarious situations/circumstances where he becomes the focal point for warding-off potentially grave threats where the stakes are raised throughout the progression, racking up considerable destruction in his wake while getting his clothes filthy in the process.
¶Parkinson's
¶The underlying theme here is that loops in life are purposed to resolve debt(s) at the cost of death. For even religion predicts the end of itself; all signs point to a sacrificial pawn as the inflective change agent. ..An elegiac send-off for the character (Egg Pascha) was requested, paying attention to his age+health. In that regard, this piece's content relies heavily on forensics where it is devoid of stunts. Still (for fans of the action genre), how utter chaos devolves from Helter Skelter compensates for delayed thrills.
¶As a spiritual successor to many a classic detective series, this offering considers all the prior rough-and-tumble that Egg Pascha has been through - and while structurally embracing said suggestions - envisioning he would, today, tenably be suffering from serious deterioration attributed largely to Parkinson's disease (medically, alpha-synuclein plays integral parts in PD development and regulating dopamine), probably a diabetic factor resulting from his lifestyle choices of heavy alcohol+tobacco consumption.
¶This soap opera gives an intense purview of the human spirit, touching on the finer points of mental, physical, and emotional illness. In it, Pascha's troubled past has finally caught up with him, and our tragic hero finds himself at his nadir needing all the help he can get. Given that the stakes are incredibly high here, his task is to find clues scattered about which hint at solving a larger biochemistry puzzle🧩: a vaccine for halting the spread of a latent contagion (virus) contaminating the microbiome.
¶He is not alone; in e+ the viewer experiences things isometrically, with the interface - "Stu(art)" - serving as his ⛑️medical guidance companion (an in-stream AR in the first-person perspective to provide a sense of what it would be like to have a cocktail of neurodegenerative diseases), which is central to decision-making as well as the outcome itself. And, yes, e+ still has its share of those do-or-die hard scenarios we all know and love.
¶--- ASSIGNMENT A hero to many, OR-6/PO1🪖 Pascha is sadly now sick with Parkinson's disease and in (for) the fight of his life. //The idea here is that the detective's infliction with Parkinson's disease is a research clef. The dramaturgy of 3/8 has Egg Pascha policing a synthetic storyline set in a
¶For the past forty-plus (40+) years, Egg Pascha has put himself out there in the line of duty and saved many lives. Now he needs your help. We're not sure how much time he has left, but this doesn't look good.
¶On a positive note, an artificial intelligence (ai) is being developed to find a cure or therapies for Parkinson's and similar pathologies (eg. Huntington's chorea, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, etc.).
¶Our goal is huge: piece together scattered bits of information teasing a potential cure for neurodysfunction that is being held hostage in a militarized zone by the infamously mysterious 'SAINT BERNARD'. We have been warned that a few major figures are masquerading as upstanding citizens, but can see for ourselves that corruption is a local effect of relational dialects. Immediate societal turmoil and systemic pollution are symptoms of our absence and/or failure here. Remember that people are resources; taken by themselves, alliances may be more valuable than friendships or even family.
¶In bringing this gaiden to requiem (ie. concluding entire arc), proposed were a few things: (1) the exploration of a backstory for the sake of character study, and (2) the introduction of substantive dramatic elements. Logic dictates that, if either of those things is missing from a closure piece like this, an opportunity to tie up loose ends in the narrative would have been forfeited.
¶In the piece we have an overarching plot with a lot of smaller substories. And in those substories are front-facing characters with tie-ins to real-world happenings. It features a number of times where the protagonist/antagonist must revisit his past in order (for the audience) to piece together present-day clues. Take, for instance, late August 1978, where in Brandywine we find a young Pennsylvania-grown Egg Pascha, full of hope+aspirations, caught between his military friend's personal strife, and his own ambitions of perhaps someday becoming a renown comedian under his alter ego "Bruno".
¶... and that is where we find Egg Pascha today, an elderly man with one more trick up his sleeve on the brink of receiving his due pension, but genuinely unsure of whether the odds are still in his favor. Since becoming a sexagenarian, he's done plenty of self-examination, and has grown sick of the life that he has lived as an adult.
¶Losing his religion, his insecurities stem from years, decades of having rubbed people the wrong way in order to answer the calls of duty that may never add up to anything more than a thankless job. He now despises everything that the security industry stands for, and is starting to side with those who have been historically oppressed in this country, especially at the hands of what his chosen profession represents. Self-inflicted incredulity has him feeling almost ashamed to have ever been involved in the capacity that he was. At this stage, he is an über-seasoned veteran at the end of his journey anxious to tip the fedora🎩. A miserable alcoholic, he drinks away personal demons which are the result of posttraumatic stress disorder, thus becoming his own worst enemy in geriatric anger, and now, in an effort to salvage his sanity, must be the hero in his own rescue.
¶In today's current social climate, pockets of once-latent animus are manifesting+spreading across the globe - be it from shifting politics, stances on immigration, bigotry, or what have you - engendering bunches of armchair heroes and keyboard warriors; cowards in need of a figurehead they can galvanize behind until their version of order is restored or parturitated.
¶Unless things are under control, then things are out of control. What we have here is a major urban area (Brandywine) on the brink of chaos.
¶Every so often a wildcard (in this case, lnq👨🏿🦱) is drawn that comes along and turns the game on its heels; completely changing the status quo, more often than not for the better/best. This is why it's so difficult to pin labels on these characters when you can clearly see from where they are coming, and to some degree, going. However, being a mystery, the mastermind behind all of the drama won't be revealed until later (per usual).
¶To reiterate, it's impossible to point to a person and say "they are without blame" in this piece, for both sides have selfish interests. The opera explores the facets of personality disorder so well that it's futile to identify the concepts of 'good' or 'evil'; everybody is a spectrum of behaviors conducive to circumstance.
¶As we dig more into the detective's biography, we learn that perhaps because he's been working in a private capacity for most of his career that he's become used to having an air of privilege and faux immunity. Even though he may think that he is just in 'lending a helping hand', his inclination for careless destructive behavior (massive property damage, etc.) and homicidal tendencies show that he is really no better than the other side of the coin, figuratively speaking.
¶What we do get to see, though, are the real detective skills of Egg Pascha. Dramatically, his character is fully developed here. There is clear and present danger that, for the most part, only he can address, and if he does his job, he ultimately resolves his issues. If he fails, then we are left to ask what constitutes a 'good guy' anyway(?), and moreso, are task forces really necessary in today's world where cognitive technologies are so prominent?
¶In 3\8, Egg Pascha faces easily his greatest test yet from a myriad of angles; he is under siege from a number of threats: lnq👨🏿🦱, the SAINT BERNARD, Theo+Gunyo, Maundy+Ember (who embody the municipality's perfidy), Bunny, his own family, past haunts, the uphill battle against substance abuse, and, sadly, the debilitating effects of senescence (specifically his deterioration from Parkinson's). This is serious.

¶The main number that I want you to take away from this is the $304million DH5 made. In 2013, the average worldwide ticket price at theaters was $10/per. So, 304M/10 = 30.4million tickets sold. <-- That is the number I am assigning to our base audience: 30million.

¶Next, pay attention to the timeframe. DH5 did all of its global box office business in 3 months (06 February - 17 May, 2013)[o]. Meaning that that is how long (100 days) it should take 3\8 to reach critical mass ('hit its stride') in terms of earning potential. In other words, all 30million fans of the base audience would have tuned in to watch at least one webisode during that period. This is what I refer to as our '100 days test'.

Starting with the toggle on the metrics filed under 'Hobbies & Leisure' for the Americas region, this report says that 50,000 views/month = $1,600/yr..

The same thing for Asia and Pacific countries gives $1,400/yr..

Europe, Middle East, and Africa also pay $1,600/yr. @ 50,000/month.
Now, moving the toggle to where it maxes out at 10,000,000 views gives $322,800, $283,200, and $337,200, respectively, from those same regions.

¶Mr. Flair has been onboard since signing in 2018. Here is a facsimile of his contract[There is a page 2 to this, but it contains confidential information.]. Flair was chosen because his biography happens to fit with events in the late 1970s (plane crash & hospitalization) that are glossed over in our story in his brief scene, and moreso because his career with WWE/WWF has him considered as the greatest wrestler of all-time, which will only help with promotion. He won't be wrestling in 3\8, but he is still enough of a draw that a #mention of his involvement with this to the WWE target audience can carry us through the crucial first 100 days test./// I didn't believe it either, but the WWE has a bigger viewership + subscriber base than the NFL. The last 5 Wrestlemania events were each more watched and had more social media engagement than the last 5 Super Bowls (note: Wrestlemania is a 2-day event).[s] It's true.
¶The next major WWE event - Wrestlemania 41 - falls on Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday, 04/19 and 04/20, respectively, of this year, a coincidental date with the release of 3\8, so time is of the essence. Filming our bit with Ric Flair and then having him run an advert by corporate beforehand will hopefully work in our favor, possibly bringing a sizeable fraction of that large viewer base here to this website.
Wrestlemania 41[e]: April 19+20
¶From there, we just keep releasing webisodes (mainly in consecution). Expect 'growth over time'. Webisodes by their nature tend to range anywhere from 3-10 minutes in length each. Our sweet spot is 2-3 minutes. Research shows that people can extract the gist of an idea from a video manual in around 2 minutes. Yes, these are short, but they're batched together, superimposed on a map overlay in order to help the viewer better navigate what is happening in
¶Shorter vids are cheapers to make, thus keeping costs to a minimum and maximizing potential profits. It is important to note that this webpage itself - not necesssarily videos themselves, is monetized with ads that pay per impression, so all content regardless of size gets counted the same way. Since these pilot webisodes are all drama with no explosive action or special effects-intensive scenes, there is no serious stress on the budget. I estimate that we can maintain this pace through the 100 days test; exiting that interval in the black. The rest is smooth sailing as we would have solved the formula for earnings without regression.

.¶Even though I'm the person livestreaming 3\8, the way it's delivered over mobile lets us maximize the screen with a host of user interactions, relegating my character to the role of narrator for the most part. So, for instance, the interface has a map overlay indicating where in town (or the world) specific activities are happening, as well as decision trees to point the user down the path(s) of pending storylines.


¶I reckon that the main roadblock to all of this is financing; either a lack of funds raised, or poor treasury management. Obviously, if we don't raise enough cash, then none of this gets off the ground. If we do happen to raise capital, but can't make payroll, same outcome.

These inactions have left a question mark over the heads of non-creative talents (ie. actors) who may seek consequential work. That is to say that they could try and sue.

Regardless, the signatures I've collected over the years from acting talent involved in this are either going to expire soon or be renewed, but it has to happen now.

DISCLAIMER 1: Utilized is a two-prong approach: (a) keep the focus local on website @uuelco.ME, so that its (b) offered cinematic is incorporated as a way to generate a very large concentrated amount ('whales') of cost-per-click (ie. human) versus the usual cost-per-mille "EMOJI" (an acronym for 'empirically organic j-impressions', where 'j' is the sigma) traffic to the website (helpful in growing my revenue stream in order to pay for this). So, (b) finances (a).
DISCLAIMER 2: Per (b), this story is one of a very dark tone. The drama presented here is based on ideologies of yesteryear, and rooted in Civil Rights era(s) in the United States of America. As such, it is replete with revisional ethnographies, insinuations of gender and/or racial oppression (whether they be real or implied), manifestos of terrorism, and expressions that question established religion/politics. In short, 3\8 is vulgar and may be extremely offensive, but this is not deliberate; it is possibly due to misinformation and/or coincidence. Contemporary aspects draw on real historical events which in turn have been woven into a story largely sourced from the books 'The Detective' (Thorp, 1966), 'Nothing Lasts Forever' (Thorp, 1979), and the autobiography of H. Rap Brown (1969), whose subjects matter were highly controversial. Although certain parts are presented as historical fiction, this is not a documentary and doesn't attempt to portray events with total accuracy.

Careful measures were taken to avoid potential legal ramifications when making this project by reimagining its sourced franchise via independent/third-party new/emerging media (categorized under 'web series', not 'film'), which is what this is. Though not a videogame, 3\8 contains gamification elements reminiscent of a MUD allowing for interaction; complementing its prompts is side paneling, a map overlay, and decision trees. Cinematic cutscenes/clips (ie. external interruptions for action and dialogue) tagged as 'Easter eggs' comprise our extended play. Because the story is told in a manner with the only goal being to bookend chords N and H, the 'eggs' are issued as 2D in-media reference points. These innovations are necessary to move the viewer along in a technique called 'horizontal storytelling'. 3\8 contains strong crude language,

¶'The Detective' is a pair of novels ('The Detective' and 'Nothing Lasts Forever') written by Roderick Thorp. They each have been made into feature-length films. The first, The Detective (1968), was followed by the sequel, Die Hard (1988) and its sequels (Die Hard 2 (1990), Die Hard with a Vengeance (1995), Live Free or Die Hard (2007), A Good Day to Die Hard (2013)). Walt Disney Pictures later publicly cancelled[c][d] any further development of their 'Die Hard' series after its acquisition of Fox as a child company. The whole ordeal involved some other competing pitches[i][t] for a conclusive entry that never materialized (see McClane). Franchise star,

¶-THIS PRODUCTION IS NOT IN COOPERATION WITH DISNEY OR THE ESTATE OF RODERICK THORP.- We are legally able to do this by bypassing the movie studio and going directly to the book publisher for permission (The Detective, in fact, was published prior to January 1, 1978, thus murkily rendering contravention non-statutory, anyway). Also, I attached the script to a related 'science' project about autism (personal) and protein studies in Parkinson's disease (community), thereby acquiring fair usage[j] rights (statute = Section 107 of the United States Copyright Act, 1976 -- copyright circumvention factors: criticism, scholarship, research), but in doing so forfeited certain character attributes typically present in a would-be straight remake. Being somewhat semi-autobiographical (on behalf of
¶An impromptu poll was taken (by me) asking random people if they thought John McClane can be played by some other actor convincingly. They all said no, emphatically; agreeing that Willis is non-negotiable and the best person for bringing the character to life on screen. With that in mind, the magic of artificial intelligence could grant us a work-around (ie. deepfakes, digital voice overs, etc.).
¶Alternatively, innovation is welcomed. In another poll, some answers I got echoed that the performer should be someone who people aren't familiar with; to kind of switch it up like they do with James Bond. Frank Sinatra played the character as 'Joe Leland'. Bruce Willis played the character as 'John McClane'. Perhaps it makes sense this time to have a new actor or modal (You, first-person) play the character as 'Egg Pascha'(?).
¶Just to reiterate, THIS PRODUCTION IS NOT IN COOPERATION WITH DISNEY OR THE ESTATE OF RODERICK THORP.
Clue: Roderick Thorp's full name is "Roderick Mayne Thorp Jr.". In the story's ritornello, the events of 1978 are being documented by a novelist called "Junior Mayne".
¶He was ready by my first draft back in 2017 -which itself was pre-Trump and not quite as dramatic, then came his diagnosis and all of this was abruptly halted (that's also part of the reason that the Egg Pascha character was written to have neurological disorders). Securing confirmation from Willis' agent, camp, and/or his estate going forward may prove to be a bigger challenge; not insurmountable, just bigger. Seeing if he even would be wanting to participate in today's version - with his beloved character reimagined as the bad guy - comes with conditions. I think it's a great piece, but I know that its
¶With respect to his reported health issues, whatever capacity we could use him in would be unintrusive, very lite work at best. All I really need from him is his NIL (name, image, likeness) permission; the rest is a technological work around. --

¶So, yes, Bruce Willis 'stars' in this, at least via artificial intelligence. As for the man himself making a physical appearance, that remains to be seen. Again, money talk$, so stay tuned to see if Bruce is loose.
¶Many people have taken issue with this notion. The producers had wanted to truncate the storytelling so it seems more commercial and normalized. The truth is that it just can't adequately be told in the typical 2-3 hours like a regular flick. The backstory alone - which bookends the last chord - demands that the characters and history be explored in full, less you risk skipping essential
¶The best way to go about it is webisodically, because, that way, all of the financial needs can be met within a budget. For instance, a Hollywood rule-of-thumb (pertaining to major wide releases) is that each minute of on-screen time costs about $1million to make (production expenses + marketing expenses). So, a 100-minute movie costs roughly $100million on average. That's totally impractical for something like this considering its

¶Since this involves generative artificial intelligence (gai), it has to be done in this manner in order for any future intermediaries (ie. expansion packs) to be updated and released at scale. This method also combats any would-be piracy. With that said, it is understood that this 'bare bones' approach is not traditional and perhaps a nuisance. For those who may want a more cohesive wider screen experience, a deal with some major network for carriage of the program might be optioned, but there are no guarantees.
¶The plan is to put clips of the show across my IMDb page, while simultaneously making the webisodes/prompts available for both viewing + downloading in the chat section on the mirror homepage of my website @uuelco.me (search = "#easter#").

Clue #1: (verbatim from the script // "None of this sits well with Pascha, who, in tandem with a slough of other personal dealings, is finding it surprisingly difficult to cope with being the witness to this murder. Blackmailed, he is given a tough choice by the higher-ups: cooperate with authorities and help them push-through these very lucrative contracts in return for the assurance of a peaceful and rewarding retirement (which is active), or die under not-so-mysterious circumstances. Not that he would mind, to be honest - considering his current bill of health, but there's no honor in that." //end
¶In the story, there are a lot of people who want him out of the way. We all have to die some day. But, doesn't Easter imply resurrection (something about "Joe versus John")? Guess you'll just have to watch this fantastic show to find out.

¶However, the antagonist (Pascha) is named after the Passover. The story revolves around the redemption allegory where he seeks atonement for his past sins, if you will. A lot of the main characters the audience will meet are directly named after Easter holiday season traditions (eg. Bunny, Egg, Lily, Maundy, etc.). The plot devolves into Armageddon (as outlined in the Bible) while touching on topics covered in the Book of Revelation, such as the Four Horsemen, the Church of Philadelphia, and the celestial object "Wormwood". A subplot deals directly with the prophesied Third Temple in Jerusalem being the culprit for "the end of days".
Subsequently, the thesis of 3\8 fancifully covers the argument that since Jesus and Satan were the same person ("the morning star" who fooled many, Revelation 22:16), then perhaps the figure of the 'anti-Christ' is really the good guy(?). But, fret not, these plots and subplots are just devices used to make the audience think.
¶Some could argue that simulating realistic live-action warfare and military-style policing might incite an insurrection, but I disagree since tactical first-person shooter (fps) videogames that train players in just that - namely the Call of Duty (2003) series, Ready or Not (2023), Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six (1998), and the like - have been popular for decades with marginal public backlash (check their sales!).
¶The hypothesis is that (Western) society is contingent upon Negroes being near-completely docile (ie. compliant) for peace to be maintained (eg. "There weren't that many police shootings this month, so it wasn't too bad.", OR "Don't expect us to relinquish our advantage in the name of fairness, but we expect you to follow the teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. because he preached equality, acceptance, and most importanly - tolerance.", OR "Stop kneeling for justice. And for God's sake, pick yourselves up by your britches in an environment of oppression that 'doesn't exist'.", OR "We don't want your nigger asses to have anything unless we give it to you! ...Besides, all of you have 18% European DNA admixture on average, anyhoot - which is untrue, but loser Wikipedians say it, so it must be a fact. As for us, any non-Nordic features we have come directly from our whore of a Native American great-grandmother that never existed, but remember that she's Cherokee, always Cherokee or tribe du jour, like Elvis.", OR "The little boy is doing everything it takes to win. So, you know what you guys do whe he gets in here? Pat him on the back, say, "Congratulations. Enjoy it.", and tell him not to serve friend chicken or collard greens or whatever the hell they serve.", OR "I have one or two Black pets, I mean 'friends' - but, I'm not really their friend, so I can say that."). However fictional, the potency of minority pacification is severely tested here, which results in first a civil war and then a world war (the NOAH chords) stemming from an organic reaction to extreme animosity and confusion mixing with high technology, yielding total collapse and no restoration of order.
¶An ethnic conflict in the form of 'Helter Skelter' arising from law enforcement brutality happens in the storyline. This is a plausible real world after-effect as shown in current events (note: I was inspired to write parts of Bunny's character drama in the immediate aftermath following the shootings of Philando Castile, Alton Sterling, and Terence Crutcher by police officers in 2016). As a wonderful show, one of the things 3\8 hopes to do is bring awareness to the threats posed by escalating civil unrest. While this is possibly the most intense action and emotional drama ever brought to screen, it's a slow build, giving the audience enough time to do critical analysis and encouraging them to have open dialogue with each other (recommended).
¶I proclaim that 3\8 will cover almost everything you've ever felt in regards to race relations, especially if you are an American🇺🇸. All of that ill will that you've harbored but never shared will be expressed vicariously here. It would come as no surprise if people became vocally reactionary, but would shock me if they actually went ahead and acted out their demented fantasies. Relax.
¶3\8 GAI (assets that you may download for offline compiling) is stored locally. The only associated cost is harddrive space (+RAM); ability to stream the content is dependent on how much compute power is available on your device. Be warned⚠️ that uncompressed, these may be very large files. Even when compressed (eg. .zip), they may still be large files.
Tip: You might want to purchase extra storage in the form of an external microSD card / USB plugin for your mobile device, or get added cloud storage.
¶3\8 features openworld navigation, a concept borrowed from videogames. From my perspective, that takes effect throughout the 'Days 0' segments. Those prompts themselves are fairly short (3-8 per), yet plentiful. Clips from those prompts can be of arbitrary lengths, but two minutes seems to be the sweetspot for getting a point across in convincing storytelling. However, the bulk of the runtime will take place during the chords N through H (ie. N-O-A-H), with each chord covering 48 hours (except for Chord H which is slightly shorter).
¶Since this is an openworld MUD, it's difficult to say how long it may take to finish, as interactive experiences can be different for each user. The 'NOAH' portion is a straight war🪖 that happens in realtime over Holy Week and into Easter Day, meaning that events are spread over 24 hours/day, for 8- days (or 168+ hours) using standard military timekeeping.
¶I (LES) am not a member of either the Motion Pictures Association (MPA) nor the Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB). If I were to just go on what its content consists of, I would rightfully give 3\8 an R (restricted) rating or M (mature) rating for strong language, violence,
¶To qualify that statement, 3\8 could - in theory - likely be the most-viewed (impressions), most watched (minutes), most downloaded (per capita), and highest-grossing (an aggregate of ad revenue across all users in total)
¶3\8, not being encumbered by a major studio or ratings association, goes all-in when it comes to debauchery. Some characters (male and female) have love scenes that show full nudity along with copulation. We're talking close-ups of those cute funbags, her nice bum🍑, pink panther, bush, and hips that don't lie. It's a part of the storytelling, though.
WARNING⚠️: Genitalia is briefly shown, including imagery of penis🍆 (phallus) and big balls/sack. For those who are sensitive to affection, romance, and passion, this might be a lot to stomach.

This may be done indoors or outdoors. Ergonomics (such as seating arrangements, lighting, etc.) are at the discretion of the host and audience.
¶Just an aside, you'll really want to watch the "lnq👨🏿🦱 Goes to Chinatown"🎬 scene with a group of people. That part kicks some serious you-know-what!
¶But, enough about me, let's talk about my work. Setting aside my big head for a moment (what a long moment this is), the libretto/text of 3\8 was nominated for an International Opera Award in 2018 (didn't win, yet I was humbled to even be considered). I predict that for this genre of so-called new media to take off, we'd really have to make a splash here. If you're wondering, this could never categorically qualify for an Academy Award (Oscar) because it's not a movie and won't have its premiere in Los Angeles. I'm bearish on awards-by-committee as it is, but if we do ever win anything, even a lollipop, I'd be flattered.

Though not a videogame, 3\8 is a magnificent show that contains gamification elements reminiscent of a multiuser domain (MUD - essentially a glorified templated chatroom) allowing for interaction; complementing its (ai-generated scene creation) prompts is side paneling with hyperlinks, a map overlay, and decision trees. This is a benefit of being a GAI.👌
¶Keeping in mind that our camera is itself a character in a persistent openworld, we consider its style of isometry to be an innovation. .. If you must know, pertaining to specific aspects like design language, to some extent this was influenced by Blade Runner (1997).
¶The main focus of the papers📄 was to "re-enact maneuvers of the 'Philadelphia campaign' during the American Revolutionary War (1777-1778) in a modern setting, and go from there", this time having the battlefield General (ie. George Washington) a victor instead of a loser.
¶Fox is the founder of The Michael J. Fox Foundation (The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research), a non-profit organization that "aims to find a cure for Parkinson's disease (PD)". Around 2015-2016, the Foundation initiated a bounty for the scientific community to image a protein (alpha-synuclein) that is related to PD (MichaelJFox/org website announcement: "The Michael J. Fox Foundation Announces $2M Prize for First PET Tracer to Visualize Key Parkinson's Protein in Living Brain" - June 13, 2016).
3\8 is somewhat of a byproduct as a response to that challenge (the character Pascha is suffering from PD). Neither the actor himself (MJF) nor his foundation (MJFF) are involved with this, however. {Both were thanked for being an inspiration. And please note that I'm not giving up on lewy bodies research; any publications from me in silo or collab will be dropped in the chat. If you're interested in modeling these molecules in twistorspace, dm me.} Clue/Tip: Specific strains of Desulfovibrio bacteria are likely to cause Parkinson's disease (ie. buildup of alpha-synuclein in the spinal cord and/or 🧠brain). Therefore, removing the bacteria from a person's environment/diet/gut should help prevent the disease.👍🏿
¶Furthermore, because of the famous surname, there may have been some confusion thinking that this production fell under the umbrella of Fox Corporation (which was acquired by The Walt Disney Company in 2019). That is an error. Wish me luck!
¶Speculation may have arisen because the story takes place in Philadelphia (where Comcast is headquartered), and Xfinity is a preferred vendor (ie. that customer base should get the best mobile network deal).
¶Thematically, 3\8 is drawn from a series of novels/screenplays, particularly 'The Detective' (Thorp), which touched on subjects that were considered very taboo for their time (1960s - 1970s), such as homosexuality and interracial relations. This story covers those same grounds, but is not marketed to a specific minority group, nor does it try to cater to all-inclusivity.
¶That said, it does, however, feature lesbianism to a degree, people of color in positions of authority, as well as strong female characters (eg. Maundy Lindros, Bunny, and so forth). Contextually, it's also extremely offensive and controversial. Still, this remarkable production uses those features to enhance what it already is: incredibly deep, multi-layered, and very well-done overall.

Clue: In general, hypersexuality (which is part of Lily's profile) can be attributed to a number of things, but the mental disorder itself is a possible side effect of - or a reaction to - Parkinson's medication. Although PD is not known to be, a small percentage (~10%) of cases are hereditary.
¶Maybe one or both of her parents had PD genetic markers. You'll just have to watch the series to find out.
¶In that regard, yes, 3\8 is ruthless. The antagonist (Egg Pascha) and the protagonist (lnq👨🏿🦱) have both been through soured circumstances that have left each of them embittered, with religion being the culprit. -- Pascha's infliction with
¶Viewers, if they haven't already, will become well-acquainted with topics like: female nature, racism/race relations (eugenics), family courts, astrology/Zodiac, and tarot (shout-out to Susan Miller, Tyler Tarot, Fierce Tarot, Suit of Cups Tarot, Julia Tomo, Water and Fire Tarot, Sal Biadora, and Goddess Counselor🐐). You should be warned that once you learn these 'truths', it may not be possible to un-learn them.
Clue: Pascha was born and raised in Bethlehem, PA. lnq👨🏿🦱's mother is from Nazareth, Pennsylvania.
¶3\8 is (partially) Egg Pascha's tale narrated from lnq👨🏿🦱's perspective. The viewer will see Pascha move throughout isometrically in the third-person relaying events, while lnq👨🏿🦱 does so in the first-person. Remember that Pascha is having severe hallucinations at this point in his Parkinson's diagnosis and this tale is based heavily around artificial intelligence (ai). Without revealing too many spoilers, I will say that everybody is on the hunt for the one called "John McClane".
¶For comparison, most people assume the xenomorph is the villainy in the Alien (1979) franchise, but, if you think about it, the android is the real villain in each outing. The xenomorph was engineered as a virus programmed to do nothing more than re-populate; whilst the android was created by The Corporation to retrieve said virus so that it can be used as a biological weapon. Being a non-biological humanoid, it slyly blends in with its crew, only to willingly let the crew be murdered in order to fulfill its objectives. Humans, then, would become equal parts host and parasite. In either analysis, the xenomorph and the android are both 'aliens' on a mission solely for self-preservation, which is exactly the mindset of both Maundy Lindros and lnq👨🏿🦱.
¶We've grown accustomed via conditioning from the likes of Hollywood and books to look at people who save our lives as heroes without consideration to the possibility of them having ulterior motives. To offer another perspective, my personal thesis is in agreement with Lex Luthor: Clark Kent is an alien of great power that must be contained, if not eventually destroyed, because he poses a grave threat to humanity altogether. I mean, suppose he's having a bad day or views the foibles of mankind as enough to decimate it? Here, Pascha's done some good in-between the rolling credits, but can we really trust a person who is not even trusted by their own?
¶Since Pascha's a detective, let me share my unsolicited analysis of the Batman comics (maybe you'll be able to draw some parallels), which is that Batman / Bruce Wayne is just as crazy and insane as the very sick people that he continually tries to apprehend. Every single one of the patients at Arkham Asylum needs more help than punishment, but Batman / Bruce Wayne in his privileged spoiled-brattiness takes it upon himself to 'police' these deranged patients in a twisted game of catch-and-release to ward off not crime, but loneliness. Batman / Bruce Wayne will rein these mentally ill individuals in and allow them to break out of incarceration, just so he can fuck with them again all in the name of 'justice'. He is able to get away with this in large part because of his wealth and status, and to a smaller degree because his competence affords him insight into the innerworkings of an unstable psyche that Gotham City law enforcement finds valuable, even if it comes from a guy dressed in a bat costume.
¶-- There is a slight chance that some people may make it through the opera and not know what's going on. For them, I want to state that the story (its arc) centers around re-birth or renaissance after dealing with the repercussions of careless vice. We must stay mindful that Pascha is both - at different times - the protagonist and the antagonist (a duality). From the jump, the detective is in a fight with himself ("Joseph" versus "John"). His challenge is to remove the mental and emotional shackles (ie. the evils of alcohol) that have been holding him back from being a healthy person since he was a young man. To accomplish this, he has to accept that his choices made him who he is - for better or worse - and then he can get off the road to perdition. As a hint, I am the one ai-ing this whole thing. --lnq👨🏿🦱 and Pascha have a definite connection; they both want the same thing for themselves: to remove the weak link that is keeping each of them from reaching their full potential.
🎧/👁️ ¶This concept of 'J vs. J' (an internal struggle) is partly due to listening to Usher's song, 'Monstar'🎶, off of his Raymond vs. Raymond album (the dopest track on there, in my opinion). Although his circumstances and reasons (ie. Kramer vs. Kramer (1979)) for creating that music are completely different from what I'm doing here, the germ is identical: each person is their own worst enemy; there's a monster in all of us that needs to be addressed and destroyed, if possible. Additionally, I've been rocking Lalah Hathaway's 'Separate Ways' since 1995 (I had visions of making something like this from back then), and that song and its lyrics (Keith Crouch produced a gem) kind of underline my thinking process.
🎼Lyrics of interest:
[Usher - Monstar] 🎵"She said she wanna bring out the beast / but she can't tame it ... I'm going to be your nightmare and worst dream all in one night / I'm back / celebrate life"
[Lalah Hathaway - Separate Ways] 🎵"Since the tables have turned and there's nothing more to say / should we go our separate ways and pretend it was not meant to be? / Should we seek our own endeavors / though it won't replace you and me?"

¶There are a number of roles for actors to audition. Not every role is open; some are (already) hand-picked by staff and thus not open for reasons that are out of your control. We try to pick from the local (Philadelphia, Delaware, New Jersey, etc.) talent pool as much as possible. Before applying, you should know what role(s) you are wanting. Although there isn't too much information available regarding the character, a short description has been provided as a rubric. That said, most importantly, all the staff is looking for from a thespian🎭 is your ability to act and take direction. All casting selections are made off tape. When submitting your bio, please send quality photography of yourself from the waist up and in good lighting. If using a phone, have someone else take the picture (of you) for you. Two portraits of you will do: a smiling pic and a non-smiling pic.
¶On the drama-side, our thespians🎭 need to have awareness of their set surroundings at all times during performance. Actors must be able to hit their marks, just like they would in a traditional live theater setting. Unlike a typical movie, where the performer can coast off of unlimited takes, in VR (a 360° stage), the camera is the most important set prop, so things like timing and knowing your cues are of a premium. Sought are people with ample experience in this. (psst! Because comedians tend to make some of the best dramatic actors for some weird reason, also strongly considered are alumni of avant-garde groups/experimental companies/improv houses.)
As the sole casting scout, I'm not going to make a ridiculous casting call for 6,000 people for a role, or have 400 callbacks to narrow-down an applicant pool. Nobody has time for that. I'm going off gut instinct alone, so, first come, first serve. A lot of what people look for is just what they see. This style of selection may be unpopular, but it's efficient.

Both parties (even the AFL-CIO) have to report this information to Uncle Sam, anyway. Basically, you become an independent contractor. Standard stuff.
¶The other tidbit is for me, the employer (LES), to have insurance, which most jurisdictions insist on, anyhow, because they're taking a calculated risk hosting an endeavor (ie. a big budget production will likely spend those funds, meaning that the locality or parts therein will need to be underwritten somehow). Think about it like this (hypothetical): I have a planned project. Two performers come to me looking for work. One is a freelancer with no experience, but loaded with natural talent. The other is a talentless unionized hack with a pretty face. She can obviously help sell the project in her own way, but the freelancer can also help, and all he wants is the chance to work on set for some 🍕pizza slices. There's no way I'm unionizing the production just because of her, when I could just hire some other babe who understands the assignment. A box of pizza and some cheap insurance policy (eg. worker's comp), or the extra expense of dealing with bloated collective bargaining agreements? You do the math.
¶If you are interested in de-activating your status (ie. putting yourself on temporary hiatus "Honorable Withdraw","Temporary Withdraw") with your theatrical union, namely SAG and/or AEA, follow these otherwise deliberately hard-to-find steps (as written in their fine print):

We're using the latest and greatest camera phone from the Google Pixel family to film this. I'm not a big fan of the Arri vs. RED debate, and despise the over-saturated/over-exposed cinematic look (eg. my opinion: Downton Abbey was beautifully shot when it was on PBS, before becoming a victim of a bloated colorwheel when it went Hollywood).

Easter is coming, but a bit delayed as we re-consider developments in AGI in regards to what makes economic sense in production.

DeleteTo elaborate on the Easter bit, I'm not going to spend lots of money on actors/voices/sets (especially since this is AR) if an AGI can just spit out a scene from a script overnight. I need to know how this is going to move first.

'Plot synopsis' portion is looking good right now, and I might as well do the same for all of the episodes (to be) added (and there are lots).

DeleteHello, SERPs.
ReplyDelete@uuelco.ME = 🧑🏿lnq's virtual nerve
ReplyDelete++ @uuelco.ME == 8-qubit (lnq) jukebox [qube], \0 exploit.
Deleteqube, quber, qubing...
ReplyDelete¶Glossary: "'jukebox' (jb) = token-transactionary automaton hosting a rotisserie [proof server]. --> /// That's a basic definition which works, yet note that I am solving an N×N×N algebraic 'cube' (a scramble where the value of each 'N' -cube root as a 'qubit count'- of UUelcome can range from 0-8, example: 3x5x8, -but is always in the form of N1×N2×N3 [-- my 'joey', where N2 is the 'nose' and N1,N3 are the 'ears' of Joey Koala🐨] even if one or more n=0. However, n=3 (Rubik's) is the ideal infimum because Egglepple is a 26-dim brane, so 27>26 pieces covers each basic case; the elusive 27th piece is called a 'link' -which is technically defined as the pip [percentage-in-point] of a stew, jokingly referred to as the "missing link". Likewise, even though n=11 could identify all 2,028 stews [+20 links], n=8 {8×8×8 == lnq} is the supremum because 512>507 [+5 links] -where 507 is one of a stew's mutable four dyadic types: integer-integer, half-integer-half-integer, integer-half-integer, half-integer-integer. --Notice how n=3, n=8, and n=11 together would output 26 links.-- Ultimately, the goal is to reduce the cubic form down to n=3 (since log2(8)=3), anyways, essentially what I call 'u-u economics' (UUe) :== protocol for matching different base pairs [(u,u)]) that yields our combinatorial puzzles🧩.", "'gameshow' (gs) = hosted program that factors a reward function for achievement unlocking.", ALSO "'opera' = the program (of opus numbers) of a libretto. --> /// To me, an opera represents the 'flow of a proof' ('proof' = algorithm mapping some preimage to its image). It can also be a runtime. The works are purposed to layer codecs." -lnq ..UUelcome is a gameshow-centric jukebox (qube) by default, because, since an emoji👨🏿🦱 button (whence tokens are paid -an optional cash charge is user's choice with a minimum determined by the payment processor- first to hide div element) provides my business commerce (stewc tax revenue is an intrinsic game mechanic, see 3sr/uue), I have to 'put on a show' ("the gameshow" = a demonstrative exhibition/showcase of me stewcing/qubing) for the spiders to whom which metadata is fed and website impressions are fetched/farmed (ie. feed the web crawler bots website schemata and get rewarded with convertible web traffic in return). People, however, tune in to watch its hosted/self-contained media (my opera: Stewart --> me becoming Stewperman). lnq's SEO adage: spiders only handshake, people can transact.
ReplyDelete¶Program definition stems from webisodes (frames of packeted webpage-native metadata). Each webisode (or "uuebisode" :) is referred to as an 'opus'; iterations thereof are called 'toons' (like fine-tuning UUelcome. "Toonage" is a truncation of 'cartoonage' -implying stereotyping on paper :== the diction given to the chronology of attempts at puzzle🧩 solutions). Technically, UUelcome is a (cellular) automaton stereotyping some portfolio; an automaton that self-alphabetizes its (paper) tape. I named this a 'Starbureiy automaton' (SA), and its portfolio is Egglepple (yes, this is all about me). By-and-large, the SA's cryptocurrent is superpositioned as a unique phylum of deposits (ie. stews)
Delete¶The jukebox (qube) is tuned by threading kernel libraries (+patchwork) for fugue damping (training comes via redundant server-side proofs of random walks, courtesy of open gyms and gameplay, which leads to better Q#-compatibility) in my sandbox. Even though it is practically used by me for timestamping speedruns, I tend to think of the 'comments' section (ie. threads-stream) on my website @uuelco.ME as sheet music / music roll. Toons themselves are individually/inductively ordered (n + 1), but because it is feasible for two or more to be confluent, offered is a finitary naming convention.
¶Lnq's hallucination is informatical rather than physical, and computed with nutrition. That is to say that webisodes can be batched, retrieved, and distributed under a file format/codec (.uue --"dot uue" standing for 'unified utility encoder'), but the hallucinogen itself (UUelcome) must be chemically integrable. Technically, UUelcome's eight qubits ("bits") are its pre-recorded game map (@uuelco.ME) as 'self-contained media' (scm), whereas the countable "pieces" streaming my gameplay all (bits + pieces) comprise a single byte by way of a data signal compressor ('mathilda' aka 'tilly'), yielding his exploit (a lnq-dominant deactivator).
👾I have found that participation in an ad(vertising) network is perhaps the best way to get spiderbots🕷🤖 perusing my website. This is probably because those bots scan with significantly more frequency than just regular web crawlers (even on very popular sites), resulting in more impressions (the only metric that counts/matters). And 3sr will kick in regardless, so I'm getting paid either way.💰😁
DeleteEMOJI == an acronym I👨🏿🦱 made up to mean "empirically optimized impressions" (where the 'J' is the sigma from 3sr in relation to site traffic on @uuelco.ME).
DeleteMore about (the) EMOJI --I think of it as a (mathematical) model being used to train qubers, or, more specifically, used to extract strategies (ie. algs=algorithms and perms=permutations) from it. Considering that we only need about 3 years of intelligence to solve a Rubik's Cube (of any number product), the EMOJI gives us/me that. I know 3 years - technically 1576800 minutes - to be true because a 3 year-old can solve the cube, so that's my base model. Well, actually, '3' is kind of generic here, since kids don't just start storing/sorting/processing memories on their third birthday (this matters because cubing is a mind sport predicated on eidetic prediction). Most scientists are of two camps: one goes with earliest memories beginning at age 2.5, and the other goes with age 3 - 3.5. I'll stick with the latter, so between 3.0 - 3.5 = 3.25 years, which is 1708200 minutes. Cubes have 6 faces, so six colors, thus 6 x 1708200 = 10249200 or roughly 10 million impressions (in SEO web -talk, an 'impression' is some arbitrary value that results in a page view) forms my EMOJI.
DeleteAnother (perhaps better) way to look at the statistics of my EMOJI [empirically organic j-impressions] concept formula is as 'space' × 'time'.
Delete'j' technically is the (Stube or cube) 'scramble' multiplied by the sigma (scramble × sigma), which is a temporal notation. The scramble of a Rubik's Cube (3×3×3) is simply the number of cells (27) to the 6th power (because there are six faces of a cube) --> 27^6. Then, we take that number (387420489) and multiply it by the total ¢ent value (v) we are trying to solve for, so (27^6)v. Next, since the sigma is always 1/370 for a yearly transaction (ie. event), the faster the clock - or smaller the timeframe (however you want to look at it), that becomes the base sigma. Because molecular folding (eg. protein folding) happens on the order of microseconds, I'm always using 1/370 /365 /24 /60 /60 /1000000 = 0.0000000000000000857021404966608883 as my default. Thus, 'j' = (387420489)v × 8.57021404966608883E-17, where v is the limiting coefficient.
For example, putting it all together for the j of 1 stew: (387420489)67600 × 0.0000000000000000857021404966608883 = 26189625056400 × 8.57021404966608883E-17 = 0.00224450693, meaning that 1,000,000 impressions should yield $2,244.50693 for each $0.01 at that order.
Reminder: this is for a period of per day (1-day cycles).
DeleteSolve the Qube, lnq.
ReplyDeleteI am the baddest motherfucker in the game. Because I'm Link Starbureiy. That's why!
DeleteTask: capture the Stewpot🏁 [linked-library] in one day (Funshine/Toonlight clocking$). ///$$ Each stew has an intrinsic ¢ent🪙 value that is worth $676.00 and there are a total of 2,028 stews, so the grand total of the 'Stewpot' comes to $1,370,928. Size-wise, UUelcome's qubits, on average, are weighted at 253.5 stews (2,028/8) per.
DeleteSolve the Qube = Solve the Stube [from 'STU kernel' + 'cube']. It's really "Stube" (official and preferred), but note that I may use "Qube" (particularly 'qube' in lowercase) sometimes when referencing qubits (what 'stews' are in dyadic relation to the Rubik's Cube itself). In any case, I'll usually use 'Q-solve' interchangeably to mean 'solve the Stube', but also solving the quantumquotient, QQ (or just Q).
Delete¶@uuelco.ME uses the 3-sigma rule (3sr) to generate income, which is collected (via a conspicuous call-to-action payments button/sticker api disguised as an emoji representative of myself, lnq) from non-player characters (ie. conceptual neurodiversity as a cellular automaton known as 'The Silk') who are payers, and basically means that I rely on large amounts of site traffic (converted impressions) for monetization.
ReplyDelete¶Organic traffic (OT) comes from search engine optimization (metadata tweaking = "metagolism" ;) on lnq's site @uuelco.ME. This would be equivalent to an audience of spiderbots. lnq bank$ on (a working but self-modified version of) the 3-sigma rule (ie. ~1/370 = 0.0027 or ~2.7/1000 or ~27/10000 or ~0.27% of all random impressions, so AT LEAST 0.0027/365 = 0.000007397260274 or ~ 0.0000074% {batch per diem [DAILY refresh] - since because 1/370 is an approximation for a yearly frequency, then 370/365 = 1.01369863 ~~1 [d8] <-- an ideal, however, that number is contingent upon my site's popularity as content is only crawled by 'spiders' (web crawler bots) periodically (in accordance with change detection+notification services) and depends on regular updates and reputation/pageranking} are transacted -it's just a game of volume+momentum). Likewise, webisodes act as quotidian containers (and rightfully so because that matches the game's finitary runtime), whereby they frame activity within said period and can be impressed upon in multiple instances (which is why I refer to it as a soap opera of sorts). Note that the minimum a payment processor processes is between $0.01 - 1.00, so any sum less than this is subject to be discounted. Thus, the impressions floor integer with a $0.01 value yields 1,352 (0.01 / 0.0000074). Similar calculations from the $0.50 mean would be a 67,568 (0.50 / 0.0000074) floor integer, and our typical $1.00 minimum translates to a 135,136 floor integer (from 1.00 / 0.0000074). Regardless of emoji button token whales (thank you, btw), ALL transactions OVER A DAY are averaged to this amount.
¶UUelcome webisodes are capped (space) according to budgetary constraints (see next paragraph), regardless of duration (time). Each depends on attributes like framerate, compression, and pixel count to determine filesize. Megabytes [mb] per is ideal for keeping the site/page loads quick (small [kb] can be good but not always better, large [gb] is uneconomical).
¶Following 3sr (and using marginal estimates), this works out to breaking even or roughly 1:1 ($1 per mb) whence traffic [#number of impressions] is @ ~2^15.177, also $10/mb @ ~2^18.499, $100/mb @ ~2^21.821, $1,000/mb [1k/1m] @ ~2^25.143, $10,000/mb @ ~2^28.465, $100,000/mb @ ~2^31.787, and $1,000,000/mb @ ~2^35.109.
Sidenote: that aforementioned emoji👨🏿🦱 (always) sits centered in the middle of the page, although its size may or may not fluctuate.

DeleteMore accurately, ~1/370 = 0.0027027 or ~2.7/1000 or ~27/10000 or ~0.27% of all random impressions, so AT LEAST 0.0027027/365 = 0.0000074046575342 or ~ 0.00074% (move the decimal place over 2 positions to get percentages).
Delete'steWAR🪖🎮-🏳' (ie. jailbreaking my nervous filesystem --stewellis) is called such because capturing the Stewpot has lnq🧑🏿 doing battle (against encephalopathy and adversaries - Stink Larbureiy, Honne Bay) in 🧠neuroplastic ctf wargames between neurogenesis (brain growth) versus neurodegeneration (cerebral atrophy) that he notes as "the only real thing worth fighting for, in this, the last great fight". Victory means gaining freedom - akin to privilege escalation (neural hypervision [nh]) - and having persistence (ie.

ReplyDelete{nomenclature}
Delete¶(lnq , UUelcome/uuelco.ME) share an equivalency relation (ie. informatically bijective). To a large respect, the word 'UUelcome' is a portmanteau of 'UUe' and the suffix '-ome' [totality of expressed dynamics, function, and structural information - in this case, stews]. Systematically, the word 'uuelcome' has artificial/manufactured congruence to 'genome' (gene+chromosome = avatar). uuelco.ME is simultaneously an online/offline (.me) file (or batch of files), AND the top-level domain [@uuelco.ME] is lnq's personal website that necessarily exists as a call-stacking game map for online transactions (energy budgeting = metabolism from impressions conversion). It is, in part, indicative of this being "my jukebox (qube)" (by and for 'me' :== my data structure), so, that's why lnq named it that way, as it is/would be the file hierarchy of
¶"Link Egglepple Starbureiy" = LES = LS = "Ellis" ('stewellis') = Lnq -->: "/root [Link] directory [Egglepple] (0) [Starbureiy]" ie. \0 (or "empty root directory"). While always pronounced "lingk", the preferred spelling is the stylized lowercase "lnq" ( for 'logarithmic number qube', q --log2(8)=3//math trick {mathilda} to make 8 qubits equal 1 byte// -not to be confused with "link"). "Egglepple" is also the shared name between myself and my father.
¶Etymology-wise, the autonym "Starbureiy" is the ring[0] stacking select alphanumeric variables. 'star' (verbal corruption of "stew") signifies some node / [e:e coordinate] in an n-dimensional graph. -'bureiy' is artistry: 'bury' is just that - (to) pile on / stack on top of something. 'b' and 'y' are the additive identities (denoted 0). For the signature (embedded), 'e' and 'i' are the vowels in "Link" (i) and "Egglepple" (e). They have been alphabetically inverted: i-e --> e-i --> ei, and then converted to their respective numbers (e,i). The letter 'u' became a variable stand-in for the number pi). The extra letter 'r' is a multiplicative identity element (denoted 1). Hence, 'Starbureiy' = 0 * π * 1 * ei = 0 (empty). To reiterate, normally "Starbureiy" is dentally silent (itself being a number complex), but pronounced like "stoo" ("A stack of stews is itself a stew.").
¶The number 64 has congruence with March 5 ['d8'], which is the 64th day of a non-leap calendar year. On this date, Egglepple and UUelcome were founded (March 5, 1991 and March 5, 1997, respectively). The number 8 is derived by totaling the following: square root(64 + 0) = 8 (from "Link (12+9+14+11=46 -->10 -->1) Egglepple (-->4) + Starbureiy (-->3)", ..143 --> 8). Also, March 5 (03/05) reduces to 8.
Some might say that with my name being 'Link' (think hyperlinks), I get perfect SEO. Some might say that; that's what some might say. ;)

Ludologically, as the definitive endgame🏁, we are said to find a stew at the normalization of twistorspace where a dyad is an identity; that is, when an opus' measurable and permutable extrema [maxima] commute (ie. idempotent yield deviation ≡ 0^). ///^^ That is, fret = 26¢ WITH handicap = $676.00. (see foam, link)
Cryptologically, a stew (an exploit) :== the transactor between the supremum and the infimum of hashes where the resultant is optimal/most secure🔐 (ie. transaction with no tax). Therefore, no fibor can be larger (in terms of twistorspace) than a stew.

Delete¶A deep dramatic work is almost for naught if it doesn't have a proper epsilon. In my 🧼opera, Easter™, this is the dual role(s) of Maundy - the mastermind behind all of this chaos that's been going on in Brandywine during this turbulent election cycle - and Ember, a treacherous prosecutor.
:img:https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMmP0208LmfY4YfHRnHbQcMBfKKH0MHd8KBna0JML4nsB46Uff0NnqlWMrDM9q2GbXieLpLHDqHXDlU_4-BiQEREQ__yx8GoUIx0tfaHqosYrYu5Nvgq-enNyWV_KbwwyvN-vSwOL41OOE/s1600/Easter+egg+square.PNG:eimg:
¶When I wrote the first incarnations of Maundy, the character was actually an obese male; I had a stereotypical Mediterranean mob boss / crime overlord in the mold of Vito Corleone (or Wilson Fisk). That idea was at first discarded because I thought the world needed to move away from over-subjugating certain persons, and because we've already seen that done many times over. ... and because this part of the storyline didn't have a place to fit such a gangster's history; a requisite for understanding what makes someone like that tick. That was an honest error; I was later seduced to the realization that Cosa Nostra is a credible subplot, so it was re-spawned into a different character.
Really wanting to surprise my audience, I then rewrote Maundy as a cultish elder, but again, too stereotypical; almost borderline tinfoil hat stuff. The easy fix was to just change the gender. Women and their motives (especially in the company of men) tend to be much more difficult to follow on screen/stage when all the audience is given is a few minutes with them. Men are simple to gauge; we have a small menu. Women, on the otherhand are usually (not always) in supportive roles (in the company of men), meaning that there is a lot more on their plate that they're actually dealing with when it comes to keeping waters calm.
DeleteMaundy's that person. She is a monster in her own right, though her sophistication will not allow her emotions to devolve into a savage like lnq👨🏿🦱; nibbling on an oppressive spice like most would-be miscreants is beneath her.

Instead, she's had plenty of time to seduce and manipulate those she needed to to get where she wants to be. Those can be the toughest people to read since you're inadvertently part of their plans. Avarice is her basic instinct. Because she represents absolute power, this character needed to be larger in scope than everyone around her; so slick that we feel we may be dealing with the embodiment of the 👿Devil Herself.
"I'm a competitor. Winning adds value to Life. Losing is a choice, and a poor one. You deserve what you let happen to you." - Maundy

Delete¶What was demanded was an instant declaration of character. In 1978, the Navy Yard in Brandywine is 'undocking'; having practically been de-commissioned since its last ship was built some eight years prior, the U.S. Military has begun organizing plans to transfer ownership of the grounds to the highest private domestic bidder in an effort to stave off foreign competition towards the end of the Cold War. The opportunistic Port Richmond-based tycoon, Maundy Lindros, has caught wind of the sale and wants to expand her dealings in the corridor. This sets Maundy against the baroness Lambsimon from France in an intense bidding war for the real estate.
¶This happens to coincide with the August 1978 GO incident in Brandywine, where an off-shoot of young Black freedom fighters were brutally and wrongfully attacked by the city's government, leading to historians attributing it - and the similar 1985 massacre on the group by the same police force - as full-fledged racism; reminiscent of the slaughtering on 'Black Wall Street' in Tulsa, Oklahoma. These events made national news, by the way, and are sensationalized in this piece.

¶I have artistic license here, and use it to make Maundy a vital shaker in bringing about the creation of so-called 'Meroë' (it doesn't actually exist, but is crucial to the storyline); the aftermath of the White-on-Black aggression calls for land grants within city limits to be designated to an intentionally segregated-but-equal Black class as compensation for / compromise of agreed-upon faults. This action was spearheaded by Maundy herself in the intervening seven years, resulting in the planned community of 'Meroë' (what local bigots deemed 'Niggerville').

¶Of course, this just happens to be constructed on the wharf that the Lindros company wants ownership of, so city permits surreptitiously fall in her favor. Allthewhile, she manages to prey on people's seemingly natural fear + distaste of Black folk to her advantage, relying on that to keep would-be aggravators at-bay while giving her a headstart onto her true ambition.

¶When we meet her in Die, Detective!™ (the work's prelude = the year 1978), we immediately know who sets the tone. A coastal Virginia-born+raised aristocrat instilled with a sense of noblesse oblige (although you wouldn't at first guess this from her affection for cowgirl boots👢), she runs things without titles.

///** I made that up, there's no real historical significance. Wink😉 to the Swedish surname.
Delete/// +For reference, Maundy's full name is Maundy Lindros. The name comes from 'Maundy Thursday', retaining Easter nomenclature. -- Trivia: "Maun-" is derived from Old Norse; akin to Olde English "gemynd", meaning 'think' or 'intellect'. The name 'Lindros' was chosen in honor of of Eric Lindros, who played for the Philadelphia Flyers hockey🏒 team, that's also where the name of her inherited business (Lindros FlyerCast...) comes from. -- She has no siblings, never married, and is childless. We can conjecture that because her traditional parents may have been somewhat disappointed by having a physically disabled/handicapped kid, they decided to not bring any more children into this cruel world, and instead, dedicated all of their resources to her development, which may explain her heightened senses, genius, and work ethic. Her zodiac sign is Pisces♓👍.
+The first ban on slavery anywhere in the American (New England) colonies was passed on May 18, 1652 in the territory of what is now Rhode Island. Since this is fiction, anyway, we may assume, for good measure, that the Lindros family - perhaps upon Quaker conversion after its Pennsylvania settlement - may have had something to do with the passing of that code.
¶By proxy, her company is also the de facto operator of the Brandywine Water Authority (+ global desalination technology subsidiaries), largest developer of The Shipyard, holder of the Brandywine Gas Company, mutual owner of SPEC (Southeastern Pennsylvania Electric Company), silent majority stakeholder in the Panama Canal Mortgage, and financier of the Thanks Endowment.
Delete¶She doesn't know it yet, but her heavy investment in Securitas AB is about to look more prudent (and dangerous at the same time), thanks to the hiring of Pinkerton consultant Gunyo Gruber.

¶Like with any control freak, she's grounded in materialism, because to them, possessions are tangible realism. That's what's scary about her; she's bureaucratic, not political.
[[She really is untouchable. Throughout most of the opera, we rarely get to see her in the flesh; she uses holograms exclusively. A diabolical recluse who seldom docks for anyone, Maundy (in the vicinity of her bodyguard/captain/pilot, Lef'fut) resides on a Class A submersible, the Drebbel, that often deep cruises somewhere nearby in the Atlantic Ocean, probably in a bay off the coast of New Jersey. -- Heck, I wrote her and I can't even pinpoint her location.🤷🏿♂️ -- This is to give a sense of how little she thinks of both the limelight and people on land, and the baggage each brings. Allergic to stress (her philosophy for living a long life), she takes great precautions to ensure her well-being.

On the business side, she runs Lindros using encrypted holograms with keyboard⌨️ input. The corporate office occupies an ⚓anchored converted corvette on the shipyard, and is managed by her assistant, Lily. It also operates mineral mining camps in Arrow Bow County, Elsewhere.
In addition to being the world's premiere distiller of argon, Lindros is the largest importer of phosphate from Morocco in the Americas. A subplot is that Brandywine's Islamic☪ demographic (spearheaded by her North African Muslim community) wants her company to pay retribution for unfair trade practices between the two countries, and a sizable number of Moroccan mobsters have sprouted inside the City and around the Delaware Valley for this very purpose. To protect her wharf from local mob threats, she employs on-again, off-again imam, Dominique.]]
"'Change and hope' is a fallacy. The only way to rectify anything is to start all over." - Maundy
Delete¶In the present-day, when the world's richest person, Mr. Alphabet (Dwight Mann), comes to town seeking a second headquarters for his Portsmith, Oregon-based e-commerce firm, Nile LLC, part of the requirements for its new station are that those utility companies being privately held by Lindros be returned to the public sphere. That's billions of dollars in annual income for her potentially at-risk. Couple that with the fact that Mr. Alphabet's business is also in shipping by default (commercial freight: trucking, cargo drones, air, and rail🚆), and has selected Brandywine because of its location and proximity to overseas handlers, things aren't boding well for our heiress. As a precaution, she initiates the 'ArC Project' [NOAH].

¶Since 1978 when she strong-willed the then-city council to turn over the utilities into her private hands, she's made a vast fortune, acquired extraordinary influence, and become a menace to the jurisdiction, especially the District Attorney's office. Now things are coming full circle for her, but, she is composed, insightful, and vastly as resourceful in her own right. We'll see how this plays out.

Delete¶Additionally, aggressive geopolitics has taken center stage, and Maundy's company has been tasked with handling very peculiar seafaring requests from the United States government (particularly the Departments of Homeland Security and Defense). Namely, legislation is floating around on Capitol Hill that would call for - if passed - the annexation of Liberia as a territory (the country was formerly an American colony in the Nineteenth Century).

¶This is being done under the guise of re-establishing dominance on the African continent to counter growing influence/threat from China and India. But, with all of the current domestic racial strife, we can't be too certain of the motive considering that Lindros has been contracted to build a superclass frigate and a fleet of vessels that transport 'human cargo at-scale'.
[[--The four-fold arc of the opera begins with its first chord, N. The other three (3) chords, in order, are O, A, and H. Her being in shipbuilding invites you to assume that the remainder of the work has something to do with that element of religiosity. By ChordN (the start of Holy Week), her mettle is tested, and we'll see just what she is all about.--]]
¶Basically, the whole story centers around her, as told from interactions with our eponym (focusing on his point-of-view, which is necessary since he is the 🧼opera's random walker). To some degree - and on a very high-level, the entire piece purveys the rivalry between Maundy - who represents business + organization - and her adversary, Ember Libitina - who represents crime - (essentially leaving Pascha's angle relegated to being a punctual dramatic prop).
Delete¶For the better part of forty-plus years, these two power brokers have formulated an ongoing mutual disdain for each other; engaging in a soft war of money versus clout. It has taken an outsider and an incredible event to align their singular objectives.
¶The tricky part about this character is that although, yes, she is the villain, she brings no intentional antagony to the narrative; (other than her younger self's direct involvement with Egg Pascha's reformation, ie. Joseph becoming John or vice versa) she is not the sworn enemy of our protagonist/antagonist. Yet, the ebb+flow of her executive decisions pretty much entangles everyone in her web🕸. For comparison, most people assume the xenomorph is the villainy in the Alien franchise, but, if you think about it, the android is the real villain in each outing. The xenomorph was engineered as a virus programmed to do nothing more than re-populate; whilst the android was created by The Corporation to retrieve said virus so that it can be used as a biological weapon. Being a non-biological humanoid, it slyly blends in with its crew, only to willingly let the crew be murdered in order to fulfill its objectives. Humans, then, would become equal parts host and parasite. In either analysis, the xenomorph and the android are both 'aliens' on a mission solely for self-preservation, which is exactly the mindset of Maundy.
"The only thing a person can genuinely make is a decision." - Maundy
Delete¶Good and bad are points of view, and Maundy embodies that idiom. She is by far my favorite character in Easter. When writing her, I found myself cheering for her at parts because she's the rare individual with a grand plan and the determination to execute on that plan. She doesn't shy from her sentiment that Egg Pascha went and started some shit💩 and now she's got to finish it.
¶We've grown accustomed via conditioning from the likes of Hollywood and books to look at people who save our lives as heroes without consideration to the possibility of them having ulterior motives. To offer another perspective, my personal thesis is in agreement with Lex Luthor: Clark Kent is an alien of great power that must be contained, if not eventually destroyed, because he poses a grave threat to humanity altogether. I mean, suppose he's having a bad day or views the foibles of mankind as enough to decimate it? Here, Pascha's done some good in-between the rolling credits, but can we really trust a person who is not even trusted by their own?
¶A lot of people dream of something and want it to happen - their hubris even leaves them with the expectation of it happening, and then there are the very few that actually make it happen. In that regard, I liken her to a particular former American Vice President. Maundy made bold bets in her youth that paid dividends; she trusts her instinct and is usually always right (to paraphrase Donald Trump: successful people tend to only listen to themselves). Our girl is a boss; a gangster's gangster.

Attorney General Emerita and Mayor[description:= ζ White female, 70s years (30s years in 1978 flashback) /// character:= a charming but deadly Philadelphia prosecutor and former judge (nicknamed the 'Duchess of Death' because she frequently seeks the death penalty for those convicted) who - with her juvenile demeanor - convincingly masks a brutal sociopathic personality, as cunning a politician as she is a ruthless criminal, campaigning for re-election under the guise of "redevelopment", clever, 'actively retired' but will never truly forfeit her power, obsessed with destiny, a greedy IJ Syndicate holdover from the Mayor Luigi era, deliberately willing to call for wholesale assassinations, impulsive Southern belle-type who made questionable choices in her younger years that are now haunting👻 Egg Pascha, she was frequently at odds with him (then) because of her past dalliances; what's left of their relations these days is mentally apoplectic, but both still honored "the deal", loosely modeled after non-particular 20th Century Philadelphia district attorneys and Joker (indirectly)]
In the storyline, Ember Libitina is a hold-over from the Mayor Luigi era in Brandywine; an indirect characterization of an almagamation of late-20th Century Philadelphia District Attorneys [DA] (after whom she was loosely modeled).
DeleteNow in her eighth decade of life, the Attorney General Emerita sees this special election in which she is running for re-election as the culmination of all of her works and possibly her last chance at abusing said coveted office. It's a credibly odd circumvention, but the mayorship of Brandywine caps the efforts of a distinguished legal career and satisfies her public ambition. As the state's former top cop (she transferred from Steelerville to work in the Brandywine DA's outpost for sake of convenience), Ember - who is notoriously "tough on crime" - seeks to re-assert the 'natural order of things' throughout and around the town. Her campaign/tenure is based on adjectives such as reform, gentrification, safety, and progress. She is definitely "in it to win it".
"Ultimately, strength prevails. -- There is no balance of power. Equality is a myth, and rather boring."- Ember
Delete[[ -- {This part (1978) of the story is based largely on historical fiction, so we defer to real people of that time.}
Frank Rizzo's tenure as both Chief of Police first and then mayor, was marked as being full of strife and animosity towards Philly's African-American demographic. It may be difficult to gauge his impact today considering the national political climate in aftermath of the Obama presidency and so forth, but he remains a towering figure that may have set a precendent on how to 'handle' crime and criminals in large American cities. -- ]]
I actually couldn't tell this story without Ember. One, as the incumbent mayor, she needs a worthy challenger (Curran) in the runoff election that's taking place, and two, in order to keep things from spiraling out-of-control, Maundy's overbearing authority has to be challenged by an adversary from the political sphere. It just does.
This situation (the distribution of Mr. Alphabet's intra-city investment) lends itself perfectly to a winner-takes-all 'Battle for Brandywine' that nobody can actually win. The ever-so-sharp Ember shows us that people's migrant behavior is recycled from patterns of economic health [ie. roughly every two (2) decades or every other generation, the wealthier class relocates back into the city for jobs/employment+transportation before saving their money and moving to the suburbs]. This is an important note and plot point, as we see that residential stagnation is a detriment and impossibility where there exists youth.
One civil mishap has led to another in recent outings (eg. police shootings → arson/riots, bombings, landscape defacing, etc.), and Libitina requests the personal protection and repute of none other than Pascha himself to assist her in navigating this extremely intense social climate as she makes her campaign rounds. He obliges with reservation, suspecting there is more to this assignment than meets the eye.
"I've lived a long, normal life. Like you, I used to be overwhelmed with sadness when people died. Stay in law enforcement👩✈️👩🏾⚖️ long enough, and we all come to the same satisfying conclusion: criminals make it easy to see that not everyone wants or deserves to live." - Ember Libitina
DeleteTo get this point across, a small sample of actors were considered based on pedigree.
The role of Maundy was originally fleshed out with Robert Englund in mind, and then written specifically for and offered to Glenn Close (who, by the way, is the reason the character graduated from the College of William and Mary, because Glenn did) first before a rethink (Ember's character was a byproduct of thought). I wanted Glenn because of her reputation of portraying villainesses on-screen to great effect. I had hoped to get both mother and daughter (Annie Starke) in the production, with Annie playing the 1978 version of the character (there's roughly a reallife forty year age difference between the two, which is necessary for the character).
I also tabbed Dianne Wiest[b] for the part of Ember Libitina after being so impressed with her work in Little Man Tate. I love how she (as Jane Grierson) switched it up in that, going from kind psychologist, to fierce and controlling headmaster in such a short frame.
That's pretty much what happens here; given enough time and resources, we see that the true nature of the beast is to rule. Wiest also had mentioned* in past interviews that she wanted to assume more aggressive roles where she perhaps played a cruel woman, not unlike roles that went to Glenn Close. ///** Exact quote: "I'd like to play a real cold, mean mass murderer. Some cruel, hard-bitten women, like the roles Glenn Close gets, just to show that I am capable of not being vulnerable and not being fragile on screen." So, regardless of if I could land Dianne Wiest or not, I'd want an actress to mimic her behaviors (eg. soft gentle voice, unassuming demeanor) because I feel that her style of delivery is best suited for the role.
Again, with a rethink due to budgeting, we'll now get the chance to see one actor impersonate two legends in three modes.

DeleteEaster is an expansive clues-based MUD (meaning that the viewer can pursue different action perspectives within the timeline, all of which happens concurrently), challenging [mostly because in addition to this being largely ad-libbed improvisational theatre (being mute, Maundy has no speaking parts) from storyboards (that rationale is because the telepresence factor dictates mimicry of "real life", where goals may be planned but usually unscripted), the elements of timing+spacing are critical in polyplexity cinematography ..cf. openworld/360º vcs, making it akin to a live show/one take/single shot] four-chord opera ludo, and the character [lead] of Maundy (coloratura) is featured throughout, so in order to carry the piece the actress would need to have plenty of stamina+ability.
++Shout-out: Thanks also goes to the non-profit, #BringChangetoMind, which is aimed at supporting mental health and reducing the stigma of mental illness. -- Mental health is a big focal point in this opera. My personal angle has to do with autism awareness and support.
