Hey everyone!
Got another music suggestion to go with Nick and Judy's exploration on Outback-Island.
Baka - Outback
Yup. That's it. Feel free to check it out.
Now let's jump right into the chapter, shall we?
Enjoy...
"Yeah, I'm a thrill seeker, but crikey, education's the most important thing." - Steve Irwin, The Crocodile Hunter
Through exploration, one can discover a great many things.
It has been through the endeavors built by pioneers and explorers that new things are unearthed, new customs can be wrought, and new lands can be settled.
Though sometimes, certain things are best left undisturbed, for whatever truth they behold was never meant to be discovered.
After all, it was curiosity that killed the cat.
Nick was the type of mammal who knew everyone: The kind that got around easily, and remembered places and faces not for consideration, but for his own personal gain.
However, staring upon this new and alien landscape, the fox was met with a peculiar and unfamiliar sense of unwelcomeness: He'd never been to Outback-island before, and knew personally not a single soul, or recognized any given face that he was presented with. He was admittedly outside his comfort zone, but he didn't let it show, of course: His personal motto of 'never let them see that they get to you' was still something that he supported and upheld on a near daily basis.
So now, he was walking arm in arm with the love of his life through the winding and rocky streets of Outback-Island... Cross that off as two things he'd never been expecting to find himself doing in his life.
When the fox had first seen the likes of Outback-Island from the deck of John's old boat, the Trafalgar, the island itself seemed to appear a lot bigger than it really was up close. Now that Nick was on dry land and able to get a good look at the sights to see, there happened to be quite a lot.
As he judged from when he had first lain sight on Outback-Island, it was apparent even up close that many of the district's buildings were built from rock, adobe, and even sandstone. Many of the structures were quite similar to the likes of the Sahara-Square, and the Canyonlands especially! Most of the rocks, ranging from the thick and solid boulders that dotted the sidewalks, to the massive and towering mesa that overshadowed virtually even the tallest of buildings on the island; They all shared one thing in common, which was their orange-ish tint in the beaming sunlight of the afternoon sky.
Strolling through the parks, both Nick and Judy kept careful watch of the land-scape around them, eyeing each and every thing that they could see in an effort to truly take in the majesty of their new location. Thankfully, most of the structures on the island seemed to be roughly sized to the likes of a small mammal such as themselves, and both fox and bunny alike were easily able to navigate the well-proportioned roads and side-walks.
Aside from the aforementioned buildings and other structures, the streets and sidewalks of Outback-Island were dotted with many tiny parks and green-patches, all of which were filled with moss-green grass and dotted across with trees of varying sizes, including root-choked Banyan trees and even the well-known Eucalyptus tree, with it's smooth, bone-white bark, and oval-shaped leaves.
Breathing in through her nose, Judy could smell the freshness of the air, and the minty, honey-like scent that was wafting from the leaves of the Eucalyptus tree. Seeing some of the titular leaves spread out across the ground at the base of some of the trees, the bunny was almost tempted to pick up and eat one; Reaching down and plucking a single eucalyptus leaf from between the blades of grass at her feet, but was quickly stopped by Nick, who placed his paw around the bunny's wrist, his grip keeping her from popping the treat into her mouth.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you, sweet-heart..." The fox said with eyebrows raised in apprehension. "Eucalyptus is poisonous, I hear."
"It is?" She simply questioned, staring down at the sweet-smelling leaf clutched inside her paw. "But it smells so good!"
Nick let out a rambunctious, but brief string of chuckles at her comment. "That's probably the poison, carrots." He stated with half-lidded eyes and a crooked grin.
"He's right, ya know!" A female voice called out from behind them.
Turning around and staring down the sudden voice's source, both the fox and bunny's eyes locked onto the smaller form of what looked like a shrew, but a bit larger. The creature had a fur coat colored the hue of dead grass, and had multiple stripes running down the length of its head and neck, disappearing behind a simple blue T-shirt. She had quite large ears in comparison to her body, and her tail was pink-ish and bare of any fur. Atop her muzzle rested a pair of teeny pink glasses, of which she readjusted frequently.
"Eucalyptus leaves are poisonous, and you should really avoid eating them... Only the koalas can safely consume them, as a matter of fact!" She proclaimed cheerfully.
With her large ears held high, she then pointed to her left, causing Nick and Judy's eyes to follow to the sight of several gray colored, fluffy little creatures, all passed out in the cool shade of a humongous Banyan tree. Both mammals reasoned that they must've been koalas, and nodded understandably before turning their attention back to the stranger.
"Well thanks for the tip!" Nick laughed. "I have a feeling one of us would have eventually given in to that delicious smell!"
"Yeah, those leaves do smell pretty darn good, but I'd still avoid trying to put one in your mouth, miss..?" The stranger began, ending off slowly with a question.
"Hopps! Judy Hopps!" The bunny claimed with a smile, reaching down and shaking one of the stranger's tiny paws. "And you are...?"
"Amanda, but you can call me Mandy!" She giggled and shrugged. "Last name Cooper... I'm guessing that you two are tourists?"
"You got that right." Nick confirmed, all the while resisting the urge to call her tiny. "We're here on vacation from the mainland, and are just takin' a lil' pit stop here."
"Cool! Where are you two planning on heading?" Mandy squeaked. "The many islands here in the Pawcific ocean are just choked full of fun things to do and stuff to see!"
"The Pawaiian islands, believe it or not... Even I still can't believe that we're able to afford all of this with a cop's salary!" Judy replied quickly.
"Wait... Cops... You're the Judy Hopps?! That's awesome! A-and you must be Nick Wilde!"
At the mention of his name, the fox shot Mandy with an imaginary finger gun topped off with a swift click of the tongue, which caused his pointed teeth to show through his lips.
"Oh wow... I can't believe I'm actually meeting you two in person! This is amazing! Well, welcome to Outback-Island!" Mandy said as she threw her arms outward towards the sky.
"Thanks, Mandy." Nick started with a smile. "But I just gotta know... What type of mammal are you?"
His comment earned him a minor glare from Judy, who thought that asking such a question was rather rude. Thankfully, Mandy herself showed no visible sign of offense to the fox.
"I'm a bandicoot! My species is native here to Outback-Island, actually: We're marsupials!"
"Bandicoot, eh? I knew a bandicoot in high school... Guy by the name of Crash... Man, he and I caused so much trouble!" Nick muttered, his smile growing wider by the second.
His comment caused Mandy to snicker in response. She then momentarily pulled her glasses off of her brow and wiped the lenses clean with a handkerchief from her jean pockets.
"So is it true that you used to be a con-artist, Nick?" The bandicoot asked, placing her glasses back on her long and narrow muzzle. "I think I heard a rumor about that, once..."
The fox simply shrugged. "Let's just say I was an entrepreneur, okay?" He followed his response with a coyish wink directed at the female bandicoot.
Mandy made a noise that sounded like a mix between a hmm, a laugh, and an exhale. She followed it up with a question of her own;
"Well, I have a question of my own for you two now!" Mandy looked from side to side suspiciously. "Are you an inter-species couple?" She near whispered.
The sudden question caught both the fox and bunny alike in surprise, as neither of them were exactly expecting such a sensitive inquiry. Throughout their time together, Nick and Judy had witnessed, and been subject to cruel acts in the name of racism and prejudice. When they were first dating and getting to really know each-other, Nick and Judy kept their relationship a secret as best they could, but were eventually exposed. Nowadays, both mammals were completely comfortable with displaying their affection for one another in public, whether it be kissing, holding hands, or hugging.
It took a lot of time and effort to combat inter-species hate, but eventually, the prospect of such vile and racist thoughts was slowly eroded away until it was nearly non-existent, with only a few remote and buried pockets left. Now, nearly the entirety of the Zootopian population stands by the rights of inter-species couples.
But still, the threat of inter-species hate has always been buried deep beneath the under-belly of the city and it's populace with occasional protests or acts of violence sprouting up here and there: All in the wretched name of hate. But still, Nick and Judy embraced one another for who they were, and thus, they answered truthfully and without fear.
"Yes, that's correct." Nick confirmed. "We're inter-species." He then reached out and placed a paw on Judy's hip before pulling her to his side with a smile. "We're married too."
The bandicoot nodded in understanding, but a noticeably slight expression of concern was apparent upon her face. She quickly shook her head from side to side before saying aloud;
"I see... If you two really are on vacation like you said, then you couldn't have chosen a worse time to come to Outback-Island."
Mandy's words were laced with a grim under-tone, and instantly piqued the interests of fox and bunny alike.
"Why is that?" Judy found herself asking, her expression that of confusion.
"Well... It's just that there's been some protests going on here in the Outback, as of late. Some mammals are complaining to city hall again about how much they want inter-species marriage to be made illegal and banned. They usually blow off in a few days time, but this one is bigger than usual, and has been raging on for over a week already!"
"They must be pretty determined, huh?" The fox grumbled with pursed lips across his muzzle.
"No kidding! But it's more than just that though: There's several magazine presses or something that are actually encouraging it!" Mandy stated with lowered eye-brows.
"That's horrible!" Judy cried out, her mind completely taken back in disgust. "Why would anyone support inter-species hate like that? Let alone some printing press!"
"I'm not sure why, exactly, but from what I've seen in the papers and heard from other mammals, is that the papers published some articles, or something, that had interviews from mammals who were against inter-species relationships, and it thoroughly detailed their opinions, but the paper itself also had quite a lot of biased things to add, too."
"Like what?" Both Nick and Judy asked at once.
"Like paragraphs that detail how inter-species relationships are bad for the population, and the economy, and how it's a blight on society."
"Well that's not very nice." Nick added. "Still, we won't let that fact take away from our vacation, of course. Thanks for letting us know, Mandy."
"Good to know. Just stay away from those rallies if you come across any... I wouldn't want you two getting strung up, or something." The bandicoot proclaimed
"Will do, Mandy. Will do." The fox allowed himself a brief chuckle. "And don't worry about us: We can take care of ourselves pretty good, mind you!"
The bandicoot snorted a laugh. "Also good to know!" She began turning around slowly. "Well, it was really nice meeting you both, but I've gotta go now... Bye bye!"
Nick and Judy both bid their goodbyes and waved at Mandy as she walked off and into the distance, gone from sight and mind.
"Hmm... Kinda odd that some newspaper company would do something like that..." Nick started, referring to the spread of inter-species hate.
"Yeah, that is odd, isn't it?" The bunny murmured, soon shaking her head back and forth. "But like you said, let's not let it get in the way of our vacation, shall we?"
The fox smiled and rubbed Judy's shoulder reassuringly with his right paw. "Indeed we shall! Or is it indeed we shall not?" He snorted. "Whatever..."
Judy snickered in response before breaking away from Nick, instead simply holding his paw within hers. And at that, the two of them continued down the path of adventure.
4:57
Within no more than just five minutes of casual strolling, they'd already come across their first protest sighting.
After continuing down the orange, stony path that wound through the Eucalyptus park, the fox and bunny eventually came across a large cobble-stone plaza, which was flanked by lots of shops and restaurants. On the far end of the court-yard, a big metal pedestal rose from the pavement; It was crowned with a large statue of what looked like some sort of dog-like mammal in an archaic tail-coat, with a tricorn hat topped upon his head, and an old-fashioned spy-glass raised to one of his eyes.
A fountain spewed in the middle: Intricate jets of water flew in and around the fountain's varying pools, creating a lovely sight to behold.
Unfortunately, the sight of the protesters was almost as ugly as the fountain itself was beautiful.
Surrounding the fountain, a considerably sized pack of varying mammals was gathered within the confines of the plaza, some holding signs with hateful words, such as 'Inter-species is not welcome', or 'Two different mammals, one different problem'. Many of them were shouting and chanting, often repeating the same slew of words over and over;
"INTER-SPECIES IS A PLAGUE!"
"WE WON'T GIVE UP, WE WON'T BEG!"
"INTER-SPECIES IS A PLAGUE!"
The protesters repeated those exact same words in a rhythmic repetition, going on and on and on, but eventually simmering down in volume and intensity when what looked like some sort of wombat ascended the statue's pedestal and stood before the crowd, soon pulling up a mega-phone to his muzzle and speaking into it with vigor and gusto.
"We are gathered here today, in Zydney Plaza, before the statue of the great Abel Thylarc, the discoverer of Outback-Island, to let our voices be heard!"
The crowd of protesters let out a loud and lengthy cheer, quieting down once the wombat with the mega-phone put a finger to his lips, soon dropping to utter silence in volume.
"Inter-species relationships in all forms, is a blight upon our society! It is a virus, and like all viruses, if we allow it to spread, it will completely eradicate our way of life!"
More shouts and cheers were emitted by the crowd, which jumped up and down in excitement. Neither Nick nor Judy could believe what they were seeing: It was atrocious.
"It prevents our people, the great citizens of Zootopia, from having children! It pits one species against another in an unnecessary and unnatural partnership built on sin!"
Both the fox and bunny couldn't believe the words that were coming out of that wombat's mouth: The both of them were utterly revolted by the lack of consideration.
"But together, we can show city-hall, show everyone that inter-species relationships are against the natural and cultural norms of all mammals! It's wrong, it's disgusting, it's-"
"HEY! Stop that!"
The entire crowd turned around and glared at the small, single bunny who had dared to speak out against the rally and it's ideals.
"Who are you to interrupt our peaceful gathering?" The wombat spokesman asked. "We're just here to voice our opinions!"
"And I'm here to voice mine!" Judy shouted in retaliation. "You can't just tell mammals what they can or can't do, who they can or can't be or be with!"
Eyeing the glowering crowd of protesters, Judy could see all their eyes harshly staring her down. Some of them were booing at her and growling beneath their breaths.
From somewhere behind her, the bunny heard Nick hiss aloud in confusion; "Carrots! What are you doing?! Whatever you're thinking, stop thinking it!"
All of it failed to slow Judy down in her efforts.
"Anyone can be anything! So what if inter-species relationships are a thing now? What have they ever done to you?" The bunny called aloud to the protesters.
"Inter-species relationships turned my daughter into a freak of nature!" One mammal cried out from the crowd.
"I can't go outside my apartment without seeing two different mammals kissing... It's disgusting!" Another shouted.
"How are we supposed to repopulate if inter-species relationships are a thing?" The wombat asked bitterly into the mega-phone from atop his perch on the statue pedestal.
"Inter-species couples are a minority! They're the smallest minority in all of Zootopia!" Judy yelled back.
She tried to state her opinions, but her voice was drowned out almost instantly by that of the crowd, which easily overpowered the bunny and her voice. She saw a glass bottle fly out from the thick of the mob and shatter just a few inches to her left. From behind, she felt Nick grab her by the paw and quickly pull her away from the violating gaze of the crowd. The two of them ran around the gathering of mammals to the complete and opposite end of the plaza, ducking behind the statue of Abel Thylarc just in time to avoid another object thrown from the crowd.
Looking down at the shattered remnants of the projectile, Nick could easily tell that it used to be a brick: He was astounded and completely encased in a sense of odium and disgust toward the protesters. Yet he knew when he was beaten, and one look at the crowd was all it took for him to tell that this wasn't a battle that they would be winning anytime soon.
In an attempt to distance him and his mate from the angry mob of protesters, who were now yelling and screaming obscenities and other hateful comments at them, Nick bolted straight to the building in front of him, pulling Judy by her paw all the way until the two of them reached the large wooden doors, which they pulled open and darted inside, entering a whole new world of blackness and confusion.
When his predator-based eyes had adjusted to the minor amount of darkness that encased the room, Nick looked around and scanned every corner of his new environment.
Apparently, this new location was some sort of museum, or gallery: With paintings, statues, sculptures, and other art-pieces strewn about across the lobby, which itself was large and spacious, ultimately shaped like a capitol T. The doors that they had entered from were positioned at the base of the T, and from behind them, Nick and Judy could hear the angry roars of the crowd, which thankfully didn't press onward and into the museum.
Nick looked to his mate, who was lying on her side across the floor with a paw on her side, just above her hip. "You alright, whiskers?" He asked, his tone tainted with concern.
The bunny shook her head up and down in a gesture of confirmation before pulling herself to her feet, wobbling slightly.
"Yeah, I'm fine." She repeated vocally. "Tripped on the way in, but not hurt. You?"
"Aside from almost getting my head caved in with a freaking brick, I'm alright." The fox answered with a half-lidded smirk that caused the bunny to roll her eyes.
"So... Where are we now?" Judy questioned with her eyes darting around the building's interior.
Scanning the gray-brick walls, the bunny could tell that the building was old as it was; Much older than, say, the buildings in the down-town area, at least. The floor was a smooth beige tile, and the room stretched outwards for about one hundred feet before coming to a dead end and splitting into the shape of a capital T, with two smaller opposing hallways branching off from the edges.
Lining the cracked and weathered gray-brick walls, the fox and bunny lay witness to dozens of different paintings and other art-pieces, all of which were lined against the walls in a neat and orderly fashion. Stretching his back, Nick soon stepped forward and began venturing deeper into the gallery, making sure to carefully listen to any signs of distress coming from outside. He could still hear the loud and obnoxious cries of the protesters as they continued their rally right outside, but he managed to drown out their voices eventually.
Soon enough, the fox made his way to the very end of the gallery, right where the three hallways conjoined into one large room. In the center of that room stood another statue of that same mammal from outside; The dog-like creature, named Abel Thylarc, apparently. This statue was very similar to the one right outside, except that the statue inside carried no spy-glass, while the one outside did. Instead, the metal-mammal had one arm hanging limp by his side, while the other was positioned directly below his sternum, his fingers hidden inside the opening of his vest, and his head raised high and forward, as if scouting some new-found area or location.
"Wow... This place is... Cool..." He heard Judy mutter from behind him, just out of his line of sight.
"Yeah, no kidding... Check out this statue, here!" He requested, raising his paw and pointing to Abel's pedestal. "It's that same guy from outside."
The bunny paced over and stood by the fox's right.
"You're right! What type of mammal is he? I've never seen anything like him before... Do you have any idea?" She asked him.
"Not a single clue, fluff-butt." He admitted. "I've never seen anything like him either..." He leaned down near the base of the pedestal and pointed once again. "Look here!"
Following his gaze, Judy's eyes were met with the likes of a thick bronze plaque, jutting out from the side of the pedestal just a few inches from Abel's feet.
Judy leaned down and squinted as she took in the many words, gathering insight as to who and what this mammal really was. She read aloud for all to hear;
"Abel Thylarc, the discoverer and founder of the district of Zootopia, Outback-Island, was born sometime in the 1800's, in the Sahara-Square. During the 1850's, he set out aboard his vessel, The Endeavor, bound to find new land for the early Zootopian government to explore and colonize. He discovered Outback-Island, which he first dubbed The Outback, and then set out to explore it's land and claim it for Zootopia."
The fox whistled in impression. "Whoa, that was over two hundred years ago! This guy's an old-timer, ah?" He said, rapping his knuckles on the metal pedestal.
Smiling while rolling her purple eyes, Judy soon continued her exposition from the plaque.
"There, he met the indigenous mammals, whom he called The Outbackers, and made peace with them, soon settling deals of trade and commerce between the island and the early city of Zootopia. Some 10 years after its discovery, the Zootopian government officially declared The Outback as a district of Zootopia, despite not being a part of the mainland. Abel himself was given the honor of officially naming the new district, and dubbed it as Outback-Island."
"Hmm, well that explains some things. I'm guessing those indigenous mammals-" He said with finger quotes. "-Were the first marsupials to inhabit the island before it's discovery."
"Yeah, like the koalas, or the kangaroos." The bunny added before clearing her throat and continuing her explanation.
"Only 5 years after his discovery became Zootopia's latest district, Abel Thylarc died of natural causes in his sleep. Abel being the last remaining Thylacinus, his species officially became extinct the night of his death. It was soon discovered that Abel himself had lineage tracing back to Outback-Island, but it is unknown how his ancestors managed to find their way to the mainland from the island, though recently, scientists and historians have suggested the theory of a small group of Thylacinus, Abel's ancestors, somehow crossing over to the mainland via a bridge of ice that connected to Outback-Island during the ice-age, thousands of years ago."
"So his species is extinct, huh? Bummer..." Nick muttered aloud, almost disappointingly. "I guess that explains why neither of us have ever seen a mammal like him before!"
"To this day, Abel Thylarc still stands as the greatest explorer Zootopia has ever seen. He is currently buried on the grounds of his estate, near the spot where he first set foot on Outback-Island."
Exhaling audibly, Judy stepped back and admired the metallic face of the statue, and took note of Abel's canine-like appearance. Engraved into the metal on the back of his neck, dark stripes etched their way down before vanishing behind the collar of his coat. She also noticed that his head was crowned with a three cornered, old-fashioned hat.
"Interesting stuff..." Judy heard Nick murmur from behind her. "Well, we should probably keep going. See any exits that don't lead out into an angry mob of protesters?"
"Afraid not... I guess we'll have to squeeze by, eh?" Judy asked, teasingly elbowing Nick in the shoulder. "Shouldn't be a problem, considering you're a fox, after all!"
"Right you are, whiskers!" He agreed before grabbing her paw within his own "Alright, let's go on then... I just hope that they've run out of things to throw at us..."
5:46
After slipping by the crowd (thankfully and completely unnoticed), the fox and bunny then made their way down one of the streets that connected to the plaza.
Carefully making sure that no one was following them with negative or hurtful intentions, the two of them eventually relaxed and took back to enjoying their time together as they explored the rocky orange streets of Outback-Island. Walking peacefully for some time as they took in the sight of the ever-setting sun, and smelled the sweet aroma of the Eucalyptus leaves, Nick and Judy soon came across a market, packed tight on a narrow and curving street. The side-walks and streets were lined with tents and canopies that blocked out the heating of the sun, and the many shops were tiny, but stuffed full of goods and other items, ranging from insignificant nick-nacks to expensive looking clothing.
They strolled down the nearest side-walk, eyeing the many items and objects that were for sale by the various vendors and merchants. Judy's sensitive ears detected a strange buzzing sound, and when she looked to her left, her eyes were met with the sight of an old, portly koala sitting on his haunches as he played some sort of long, wooden instrument, which was nearly as long as Judy herself! It's glossy and crooked wooden surface was painted over with symbols and other designs, and the shape of the thing made it clear that it must've been carved from a tree branch, or something.
"What is that thing?" The bunny asked upon the fox, who turned around and faced her upon hearing her question. "I've never seen anything like that before!"
"And the dumb bunny lives up to her reputation," Nick teased, earning himself a playful tug of the tail. "Whoa, easy there, carrots! That spot's kinda sensitive, ya know."
"Just answer the question, dumb fox."
"Alright alright!" He chuckled. "It's called a didgeridoo, and was invented here on Outback-Island, I think. The original inhabitants of the island, the marsupials, used it a lot."
The fox and bunny trained their eyes on the slender form of the instrument, staring it down for a few seconds before the koala that owned it started glaring at them, thus causing them both to flee the vicinity and continue down the market's path. They went on with their Outback-Island experience for some time, continuing to explore the narrow streets, admire the things for sale in the market, and even buying some chewable substance from a gum tree, which they both popped into their mouths and enjoyed for their entire walk around the town. They spotted many different types of Outbackers, ranging from platypus to kangaroo, all going about their day as usual.
It was a lovely experience, and one that neither mammal would be forgetting anytime soon, for certain. Though they both still wondered what lay ahead of them in Pawaii.
9:21
Eventually, night had come upon them, and had descended their world into a sea of darkness.
Making their way back towards the public docking area, the fox and bunny were both pleased to see that the Trafalgar was still anchored in the exact same spot that they had last left it. Even their captain, the narwhal John Haddock, hadn't moved an inch from when they had first bid him goodbye all those hours ago. Apparently though, he had fallen fast asleep in his folding-chair, and was now snoring profusely from his mouth and blowhole, which leaked small drips of water upon exhalation.
Not wanting to awake him from his seemingly peaceful slumber, Nick and Judy both quietly maneuvered themselves across the deck, careful to avoid John's sharp tusk as they made their way towards the cabin, which had a couch that they could crash on for the night. As they were making their way to the bow of the boat where the cabin was located, Nick felt an obstruction in the smooth floor-boards of the deck with his foot, and his ears just then detected a sharp and audible crack sound that caused Judy's ears to rise.
Looking down at his left foot, Nick raised his leg slightly and stared down the source of the noise: He had stepped on and broken the thin stem of Haddock's wooden pipe.
The narwhal had slightly stirred at the sound of the cracking noise, and in his sleep, muttered; "Boyo..." Before snoring off once more.
"Aw, great..." He hissed softly beneath his breath, earning the bunny's attention "He's not gonna be happy about that when he wakes up!"
'Don't worry about it now, Nick... We'll deal with it in the morning." Judy instructed quietly, to which Nick nodded in agreement.
The two of them carefully slipped into the cabin, closing the door behind them and snuggling up in the couch for the night, both eager and ready for the adventure to come.
Sleep soon found them, and with it came a blanketing flurry of dreamless tranquility.
