Drunken Lullabies #26
By Bartan Tirix
Feat. Jinx
The cool wind blew across the massive lot as the two panthers walked towards a massive hanger. One normally used for storing aircraft, both small and absolutely massive, though now refitted for housing. Judging by the more welcoming deck to the main door and a few extra buttons outside for the large grey hanger. Noticing some of the autumn decorations of inflatable pumpkins starting to be set up, but left deflated for the time being.
...Granted, it was a bit jarring to the Coeurl {Curl}: a large cougar-like beast with very very long whiskers. The brown eyes and four ears were easily a dead giveaway as an alternate shape of someone familiar as he carried what was basically a large toolshed's worth in harness-form. Following the smaller snow-leopard-spotted Tirix as she kept her sights on a hologram, one pointed towards the walls and showed the electrical work built in as a form of 'X-ray vision'. "That's... So weird."
"What is?" Linet asked the larger one, not looking up from her screen as she led the way along the wall.
"Well, one: he never changed the boring color of this hanger. I don't think I could yawn harder at a grey in my life. And two: the trees and everything in the distance, it's like late spring. But we're in the middle of October."
"Jinx probably hasn't set it up yet. By the looks of it he just started decorating this morning."
"Great timing." Bartan mumbled sarcastically.
"I did put out a warning that I was doing some maintenance work on these AUs today."
"Y-yeah, but wasn't it at like midnight?"
"And everybody should've read it this morning before starting their plans." Linet grumbled. "More work gets done in the mornings, that's how people should operate their days anyway." A light eye roll from the smaller female.
"The fall makes me sleepy." Bartan snorted. "And I enjoy getting some extra rest while I can."
"While sabotaging the rest of your day." A grumble from the male was interrupted by the tirix suddenly stopping in place and holding a forepaw up. "Here will do fine. You can set the tools down there." The Coeurl followed instructions a bit away from the building. Laying down as she got on top of his shoulders to start taking off the harness straps. Allowing the several cabinets of objects to rest on the ground and relieve the large panther of the weight. "Thanks Bartan."
"We're not done yet, are we?"
"For now I can work on this alone. I just need to do some tweaking and testing with the box." A gesture to an electrical metal container sticking outside of the building's wall. "You can go stay with Jinx for a bit if you like."
"You sure?"
"Yeah. I get the feeling he didn't see the memo."
"Judging by the deflated decor, yeah." The male nodded. "Alright, but if you need me you know where to find me."
"Just don't get too big that you can't fit through the doorway." A sudden shy whimper from the Coeurl, making his four ears blush as Linet gave him a wink.
"I-I... W-we're... We don't-"
"Just go, Bartan~"
"O-okay." A half whine as the pure white panther trotted to the door. Still taking a look at the scenery and finding it odd still set onto spring, considering what the season was supposed to be set at by default AU standards. Alternate Universes, AKA Personal Pocket Dimensions where one could own a magical house and summon anything they wished using a portable 'window' menu in the form of a holoscreen. An invention between Linet and another being that was wayyy too complicated to explain in a silly story like this.
Shaking his head, Bartan approached the door and suddenly got a little idea of sneaking inside. Checking the unlocked barrier, pushing it gently and peeking within. Those four ears scanning the area for any movement or sounds, but nothing. Slipping inside with silent steps, those large whiskers testing the air to search for more signs. Almost narrowing in on the latex being immediately as he was very lightly coated in static electricity.
The room itself was absolutely massive. Honestly looking like it was just a hanger missing walls with an incredibly high ceiling. Most of the living quarters were off into this one corner: kitchen, bedroom (which was just a pile of pillows, blankets, and a collection of unusually large plushies). Even a large space where a pool was covered by the floor.
It was still largely undecorated, but so long as the rubber-dragon called it home that's all that really mattered. That, and he wouldn't risk the lives of anyone else if Jinx decided to inflate his rear to the size of four suns. Such a thought made the coeurl pause for a moment and attempt to do some mental math... Okay, maybe not That big.
Regardless, Bartan stalked behind a couch, able to detect the latex anthro resting on it. Taking his long fluffy whiskers and gently bending them over the soft red barrier to give the dragon a tickle and pull back into hiding. No response. Trying again, this time a little longer- getting a disturbance in Jinx's breath before retreating again. Waiting a few moments before sending a whisker underneath the couch and start tickling the dragon in the belly, getting quite the large flinch before a half-sleepy-grumble.
Several more little teases and retreats eventually woke the black one up enough to look around at what was touching him. Not seeing anything- but hearing the freaking sweeping of a fluffy tail behind the seating. Leaning over and meeting with a pair of really really large pupils that spooked Jinx into whimpering before getting tickled in his black tail again. Causing him to look back for a split second-!
And the coeurl pounced! Springing over the couch and pinning Jinx to the soft cushion before giving him a deep kiss. Then a deep breath before blowing into the anthro playfully in a series of little puffs, making Jinx blush and moan a little as his body swelled up. Mostly in the middle where the very large cat laid on the rest of his body, completely covering him in fluff. Staring at him with those wide eyes and a wagging fluffy tail. "...Hi."
"H-hi, Bartan."
"Doin' some deeeecorating~?" The large furball purred, teasing that chin with a whisker.
"W-was, but for some reason the... Holoscreens stopped working." Those brown eyes stared at him blankly. "I couldn't even access the air tanks in the walls."
"You need air tanks?"
"I mean, I tried without, but..." The dragon's grey eyes looked off in one direction, causing Bartan to follow them to a large, overstretched vinyl pumpkin. Clearly deflated and with a huge hole in it.
"Don't know restraint, huh?"
"What's that?" The two had a friendly chuckle. "But anyway, I figured something was up so I took a nap for the time being."
"I take it you didn't see Linet's message?"
"Linet left a message?"
"She sent an 'email' of sorts scheduling maintenance for today..." The panther tossed his snout. "Granted, she sent it at freaking midnight."
"Who sends a message like that at midnight?"
"I know, right?" The two snorted. "But anyway, it'll be a couple of hours. We're working on yours right now." The blank anthro stared at Bartan for a few moments, looking at his current position.
"...By 'we', you mean-"
"Her, yes. I carried stuff here, that was my job."
"But can't she just spawn- right. The system is down."
"Yep! So now we have to wait it out." Those white ears suddenly perked up. "Buuuuuut~"
"Buuuuuuuut?"
"Maaaaaybe we don't need air tanks or pumps~" A noise in question was made from the latex dragon as he watched a long white whisker reach over to a decoration and 'zap' it. Causing the small balloon to inflate to a taut size, and instantly make Jinx blush a little.
"Since when could you do that?"
"I donno. A week ago?" The furball tilted his head in a shrug. "Dia thought of it, but I barely used it-" The coeurl suddenly gasped. "I can use it to save your Chris-!"
"-Halloween."
"-I was gonna say Halloween-"
"No you were not." The two chuckled and the furball got up. Going from flat inflatable to flat inflatable, giving them a gentle touch, a small 'snap' of electricity was heard, and each decoration inflated until properly taut. "S-so..." Jinx watched, still lightly swelling at the sight. "What else can that inflate?"
"Balloons, balls- which was the main purpose Dia had in mind, a large bouncy castle-"
"He made it so you could inflate your balls?" The world's second biggest double take from the panther, actually causing the planet to stop rotating for a half second. Making those four ears blush heavily as Bartan stuttered.
"N-n-no! M-more like sports balls and dodgeballs for the Troublemakers to play with." The white one whimpered bashfully, but... Looking at his own back end with curiosity before shaking the thoughts from his head. "I've never tried it on another person before. I've barely tried it on things that were made to inflate."
"I'm made to inflate." The two males stared at each other, blushing, but Bartan couldn't control his tail swinging.
"M-maybe later? Definitely later, but there's no reason to trash your home after you just decorated."
"I suppose that's a good point." A bit of silence as the anthro pulled over another box of donated decorations. Finding another inflatable and setting it on an empty seat of the couch, not noticing the panther double take at it and give it a little zap. Causing the vinyl pumpkin to swell up surprisingly greatly next to Jinx and make the black one blush.
Buuuuut curiosity got to the cat-(I can't believe I wrote that), and a whisker tip glided to the very couch to give the armrest a jolt. Instantly causing the entire thing, cushions and all, to rapidly inflate as if it were an airmattress underneath the dragon. Making him yelp a little in surprise as his seating swelled up to nearly three times size! "Oh, that's what happens." Bartan commented, giving the firm furniture a couple of presses. "It's like it's all one big balloon. I can't get my paws underneath the cushions."
"M-maybe they're just too tight. Try the box." And the coeurl gave it a little shock, both males just watching as the container of decorations started bloating up, but also many of the objects inside too. Causing most of them to outgrow the plastic tub's walls with rather loud squeaks and groans, most of which started to escape but a couple of them getting squeezed too much that they popped. Leaving the two blushing and staring at it. "Well, apparently they're not indestructible."
"N-nope." That fluffy white tail flicked as those four ears tinted red. "What next?" The dragon looked around the room.
"What happens when you do it on a plushie?" The large coeurl looked at the pile of them used as 'bedding' and trotted over.
"Any preference on which one?"
"Dia's plushie is quite used to being stretched." Bartan double taked at Jinx as they shared a look for a few moments. "Don't give me that, you know what I'm about."
"Y-yes, but stretched how-?"
"I'm not going into details." The panther blinked at him. "...Mostly because I can't remember right now, but just try Dia." Bartan shrugged in response and gave the black wyrm plushie a shock. Instantly watching the stuffed character begin to swell up from the center, spreading those four limbs out while the hanging wings wrapped around that inflating belly. Turning it into a large sphere in a matter of moments before the expansion pulsed into each limb, pushing them to become soft bubbles as the seams groaned. Melding together and outgrowing its 'softness', replacing it with a shine.
The two males watched intently as it grew past beachball sizes. The head of the stuffed dragon bloating up its goofy smile and big blue eyeballs, that tail becoming a long stuffed balloon while the others blushed heavily at the sight. Stepping back to give the thing some room to expand to the size of a small car, looking like it was just about burst before stopping. Waiting a few moments, then Jinx approached it with a gentle touch. Observing the toy's firmness. "Well, it's definitely stuffed."
"Stuffed with what though?"
"Air. It feels too light to be the plush stuffing."
"N-neat." The furball looked around for another target, spotting a large 'brass tarp' that was lazily folded into a corner. "Is that?"
"Oh, the Beo parade balloon, yes. It got a leak somewhere and I couldn't find it."
"Considering it's too large to fit through freaking four-way streets, I imagine." The coeurl trotted over to it and gave his whiskers a fancy wave before zapping the pile of 'metallic blankets'. Instantly hearing the thing hiss faintly before turning into a deep roar trapped within the hollow form, actually taking the panther aback a few steps as life was breathed into the gigantic balloon. Not literally, of course, but with the constant swelling it seemed to be moving on its own.
Many parts of the brass wyrm were inflating surprisingly quickly, unfolding from the pile as the two could make out some bits within the tarnished gold and red. The large crimson wings filled up and acted like the masts of a ship for the large furred flags, while that bearded muzzle started to emerge. The head began to shape with those green peppered eyes gazing at the two, positioned perfectly to give the living latex dragon a sly smirk while those black horns formed.
The long red mane inflated thick spine by thick spine, down that broad neck and resting at those bulky shoulders. Ones that soon detailed the large muscled biceps, forearms, and detailed paws. The parade balloon really started to take shape as it rested on that rounded belly, the four legs keeping it relatively balanced as the air filled it through, and that long thick tail bent against the nearby wall. Already 20ft tall and it still wasn't properly filled yet, towering over the two as they watched in bashful awe.
But the process didn't slow down, constantly filling the oversized balloon even when the two heard a strange hiss. One that differed from the usual bassy one that came from the center. The two following it to the brass wyrm's left haunch, finding one small visible area where some air was leaking through. Leaving Bartan to just stare blankly at the latex anthro as Jinx double taked and grumbled at the look. "It is not what you think."
"Suuuuure~" The coeurl gave him a wink. "But we found your spot. Now we just gotta find a way to fix it-"
"Later, when things are back online. What happens if you zap it multiple times?" Jinx asked, causing the panther to tilt his head, shrug and sting the large balloon with the pair of whiskers. Instantly causing the parade balloon to inflate much faster, swelling heavily in the belly and pushing the paws off the floor. Growing far more than that leak to push out. "Again!"
The coeurl zapped the brass blimp again, visibly making it much much rounder in a matter of seconds. All the limbs began to swell up, the branches of the wings started to bloat heavily, and the wyrm's neck thickened greatly. Another sting before the anthro could demand instead made him cheer, now giving the large balloon a sizable rear as those haunches bubbled tightly. Shoulders and arms swelling into doughnuts, that 'plated' chest barreling inbetween, morphing into one with that spherical underside. The red spines on the beard and mane all became red bulges instead as that muzzle morphed into a bloated cylinder sticking out of the huge torus that was the balloon's neck.
It wasn't long after reaching past the size of a parking garage that the leak suddenly ripped significantly! Causing the hissing to slowly stop as the air began escaping from one of the haunches. Making the two males 'Awwwh' in sync as they watched the extra large balloon deflate before them. "Oh well. At least you know where the leak is." Bartan spoke, taking a step back.
"So what happens when-ACK!" The dragon nearly hissed at the sudden sting on his hip, then gave off a pleasure whimper when the pressure in his rear end began to make it swell up. Feeling and looking at his ballooning rear before looking straight at the furball, watching that white muzzle toss in an eyeroll as Bartan snorted.
"Oh please, you were eventually going to ask me to do this-" A sudden sharp growth from the dragon's body rammed into the panther straight-on, actually knocking him to the ground with a poofy thud. "I deserve that." That black rear continued to balloon out over the empty floor space, occupying it as Jinx lost balance and fell backwards.
That bubble-butt wobbled heavily, pressure still growing as each one nearly became the size of a van. Expanding in jolts as the furball got up, once again getting shoved to the floor and slid away as the two globes inflated further. A playful growl from the coeurl was heard as Bartan pawed at the 'harrassing' haunch, still pushing and making the panther slip on the super smooth floor. And before long, those instincts kicked in; causing those whiskers to lash out with another zap!
A sudden surge in volume caused Jinx's behind to easily double in size- close to that of a small house each! Hearing the dragon moan in the center of it as the rest of black legs began to expand out with them. Paws swelling up dramatically, his rounded belly taking some of the volume, and that once-thin tail now filling up like a long balloon. But the majority of it was still focused on that back end, one growing and trampling over everything including the coeurl.
At least the dragon was light, allowing Bartan to squirm out from under it with some effort and get some distance. Even with just some, it wasn't enough as that rear grew into the size of a motel. Making the white one whimper a bit. "D-does this ever stop?" Jinx panted loudly, feeling that the panther made it out.
"I-I don't know. Story of our lives, honestly." Bartan snorted, shuffling back as the massive rear towered over him. Growing much faster than before as they soon achieved large parade balloon status. "A-according to those balls and decorations, it doesn't stop until you get full, maybe?"
"But I-"
"Never get full, I know!" The furball half cursed, trying to think as the threatening pair of black blimps continued to approach him. Already out into the opened area of the hanger; one that wasn't quite fitted for housing just yet but just a large opened space. "Wait! So it only stops when you feel 'full' right?"
"Bartan?"
"What if you're stuck inside a large container of sorts? That should stop it!"
"B-but?"
"That should stop your butt, yes."
"Bartan-"
"Just sit back and enjoy the ride, Jinx. Also, sorry."
"Sorry-?" Another jolt interrupted the dragon with a yelp and another pressurized surge flowed into his rear. Blowing it up even faster as one zap after another was felt, starting to actually enjoy the slight shocks when they came with the torrent of air stretching out his body. Causing his upper form to become quite chubby and bloated but only a small fraction of what that black back end was achieving! Soon growing to that of parking garages, city blocks, then districts- Did I mention this hanger was freaking gargantuan?
Such growth quickly overtook the furball in less than a second, trapping him underneath as the surges caused the balloon bottom to bounce over Bartan. The heavy creaking and stretches of expanding latex growing larger and larger. Deeper as it groaned with a rumbling bass as the panther struggled to move properly in order to escape. Getting pressed into the floor again and again, until those whiskers shocked the massive rear in retaliation!
The dragon's form rapidly began bloating in all directions, every part of his body swelling up dramatically and nearly becoming a series of bubbles as that black butt became absolutely colossal. Quickly filling up the empty space within the unusually large hanger as it morphed against the walls. Pressing against the large windows and causing the horizontal rolling door to the front to bend outwards. The intense pressure from within became rather formidable as it climbed up the walls.
The panther did manage to squeeze through until where the twin spheres met. Not giving him a lot of room, but a small tunnel he used to find his way to the dragon's front end. Scampering through it between bounces when one of them jerked heavily after a loud nearby pop! Squishing the white panther into the floor until he was nearly an animal rug before scrambling back up and rushing when he could. Not realizing it was way above him until he found the wall, at least according to the excited moans that made the furball blush. At least Jinx was enjoying this.
A few more little pops were heard and felt through the thick latex bubble, and before Bartan knew it, his 'tunnel' was caved in by the twin mountains squeezing together. Leaving the coeurl cornered against the wall as he whimpered, that rubbery firmness pressing his body against the structure as the panther was left standing on his hind legs. Then slid up against the metal wall along with his dexterous whiskers, the durable material groaning heavily as the pressure built up, causing those fluffy appendages to once again retaliate-!
Finally, she found it. Pulling out the flathead screwdriver from the cabinet, the tirix half cursed under her breath. Trying to recall who last packed these tools and concluding that it was between Rixxix or her father. Making Linet snort as she waddled to the opened electrical box and loosened up a few screws so she could manage some wires. Flicking her ear at some concerning groans and creaks, familiar noises that she knew involved Jinx and wondering what it was this time. Another plushie that he was overstuffing without any foresight? Maybe blowing up another pooltoy to the volume of a mansion, even if his indoor pool was a fraction of that?
The thought of it made the lynx shake her head. Obsessions were strange, but to each their own. How the spotted tirix's life came to such a stage was beyond her, attempting to recall such a thing backwards but was interrupted when the damn box shocked her paw. Hissing at it, dropping the screwdriver and then growling at the box. She swore it was off- everything should've been off! Quickly crouching down before she lost the tool, taking it by the insulated handle-
...The... Insulated handle. Insulated. Shock Resistant. For up to 2,000 Volts. And now inflating in her paw. "How the heck-?" Only for that thought to be interrupted again when she felt a strange pressure in her forepaw. Watching it swell up like a large balloon and yelp in question. "What the actual Fu-!?" A loud 'Thumm' got her attention as the tirix witnessed a large panel of windows get popped out by a giant flexible glossy bulge, now sticking outside of the building. Then a couple other panels were forced out, causing Linet to attempt to take shelter as her own paw grew significantly! Bloating to several times its size before flowing up to her shoulder and chest. "H-h-how!?" The lynx whimpered as her belly soon began to rapidly inflate before her, and soon feeling the wall behind her bulge.
The building suddenly got a strange gloss to it, many of the pipes and frames connected to it had already begun to swell up. Even the very electrical box Linet was working on started to balloon into a surreal thickness. All while curving outwards towards the inflating lynx. Making her whimper a bit shyly as she put together what was pressing on the other side. Large, black, familiar latex. How did Jinx get a hold of an air tank with the system turned off? -Nevermind, odds are the dragon kept an infinite one under his mattress when he slept.
The pressure within the lynx's body began venturing into her other limbs, causing her arms, cheeks, and even haunches to round up as she whimpered. Blushing a bit as she did what she could to roll away from the glossy curving walls. The heavy squeaks of tight vinyl rubbing against dry latex, actually seeing the black blimp within doing surprisingly well attempting to escape from the windows. The dark bubbles ballooning out of the window frames as the dull grey building morphed into a round shape... An oddly wide round shape. Almost as if it was being pushed into an oval.
The noise grew higher and higher in pitch as that building stretched far out from its foundations. Almost making the constant rolls away from the swelling tirix meaningless as she couldn't escape the blimp's shadow. Making her whimper as the building bloated so much it began reaching down towards her-!
Until a massive explosion and windblast sent Linet tumbling in the same direction, bouncing in the grass and being pelted with a volley of dull grey vinyl scraps! The groans got louder as the revealed twin black spheres began their conquest, now free from restraints. Swelling up overhead in massively heavy pulses, each one adding the volume of two stadiums to each haunch as it bounced! By the time Linet stopped rolling and bouncing enough to make sense of what she saw, Jinx was already covering his entire 869,000 acre property. Bouncing so frequently that the dragon was being pushed higher and higher into the air.
The lynx's own body was growing increasingly tighter as she easily grew to the size of a small house. Grasping onto her ballooned underside with swollen paws, stretching out her fur pattern and spots to the point where they looked like black targets. Her tail and haunches bubbling up greatly, those hind paws somehow bigger than her fores, and her cheeks nearly blocking her sight as the black blimp above occasionally squished down on top of her. Not enough to be a threat, but enough to move Linet slightly.
It didn't take long until she was rotated enough back to see the 'damages' to the hanger, which only further confused the tirix when she spotted it now white. Very white. And kind of... Fluffy-? "Ah, crap, that's Bartan." Linet grumbled, just knowing he had something to do with this. Somehow the coeurl also got the round treatment and was now currently outgrowing the hanger's normal size, all while the two were constantly getting squished by the giant black behind in the sky.
With a heavy grumble and a struggle, the tirix managed to get a holoscreen open with her bloated paw. And when it got so tight that she could barely move it, the virtual screen could at least track her eye movement. Calling up Bartan who took a few moments to answer. "These things work-?"
"What Did You Do!?" The lynx hissed, getting the bloated coeurl to whimper. "And of course these things work for communications!"
"Huh. Neat."
"Bartan...!"
"...I, uh... May have tried to help Jinx inflate his decorations." An unimpressed glare from her red eyes, making his own brown ones almost sink into his rounded body. "...And his couch."
"What."
"And Jinx too-"
"Obviously! But freaking how? Everything should be shut down!" The furball just looked blankly at Linet through the screen and she sighed. "Tail magic?"
"Y-yes, kinda. More like whiskers shock and inflate things." Another long stare.
"...Dia?"
"-Dia, yes. And how did you-?"
"I was working on the electrical outside! Whatever you did somehow shocked me through it and an insulated flathead and now-!" She ended with a heavy growl as a large buttpress interrupted her. "Just... Tell me this wears off after a while, or do I need to call for help?"
"I-it should wear off in a couple of minutes to an hour on living beings." The lynx gave off a frustrated growl in response. "Y-y-yeah, just call someone to help reverse this, it'll probably be faster."
The anthro fox warped in after dark, or at least that's what it appeared to be. Some distant thunder overhead grumbled as if to warn the white one away from this place, but she just ignored it. Scanning the area and catching some voices in a direction before heading over. Around the massive white hill to find another facing the glow of a small virtual screen, with a familiar voice coming from it. "He needed the wood for a new ship, right? But he worded it funny, and so Jijar just ended up sitting on his house. Telling him to use that wood."
"Jijar is only like 5 feet tall, isn't she?" Linet asked the screen.
"During this she was a macro goddess of sorts. Regardless, her somehow crushing the structure with her back end enchanted the wood so when Gnargwrist ended up building his ship-" The tirix suddenly yelped in surprise when the fox jumped and sat on her bloated back, leaning over her shoulder and spotted the familiar four eared face on the screen. "Haaaiii puppy~"
"Haaaaiiii Bear~ Talking about Gnargy, are you?" Kindle pulled out a medicine bottle full of pills and took one out, handing it to the lynx.
"T-thank you." The tirix attempted to toss the pill into her maw but missed it and cursed. However, the anthro on her back managed to catch it midair and place it in Linet's mouth.
"There. You've tested these deflation pills, I imagine?"
"Yeah- though not on every kind of inflation. So I'm just hoping that they work. Please tell me you ordered something?"
"I remembered: these things make you incredibly hungry afterwards. Dia's working on homemade pizza-"
"Oh no." Linet whined. "Please don't say it."
"Wiiiith..." Kindle purred in a tease, making the lynx whimper. "Pineapple." A sudden stop and look towards the anthro.
"Oh. That's fine-"
"With the other half marshmallows." That time it was the expected glare from the spotted lynx. Ears spaded, a face lightly morphing in disgust, tail flicking into attack mode regardless of the fox's kiss on that bloated cheek.
"...Bartan has a neat trick to show you." The tirix grumbled.
"Cool beans~" Kindle leaned towards and oddly looked into the screen. "I'll be with you shortly, furball~ Also, where's Jinx?"
"U-um..." Linet mumbled, barely getting the anthro's attention other than an ear. "It's... Not nighttime." A couple of blinks from the fox and a nod. "We're thinking he's about the size of two moons."
"Alright, I'll go get a ladder." Kindle gave her ballooned form a couple of echoing taps and slid off the lynx, leaving Linet a little dumbfounded.
"...I can't tell if she's being sarcastic or serious sometimes."
