This group of humans were pretty weird, but their credits were good. Spirits, from what I’d read up on them, they were better than good. I couldn’t figure out where they’d come from, but I could hardly begrudge people dropping their identities for an entirely new one.
“Sandosen, right?” I asked as the human in charge approached, f...
2023-05-22 13:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostMy eyes narrowed as I read over the news report. This was an odd move for Nute Gunray, sure, from all legal matters, the Queen of Naboo was the one in the wrong, but this level of overt movement was out of place. He was a bureaucrat and a businessman, more than that, he was a neimoidian. There were so many stress factors involved in blockading a planet that it was unlikely he’d come up with t...
2023-05-20 01:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostI could hear Taylor shuffling about outside the bathroom, despite the water running over my head as I washed my hair. The bathroom door opened, and Taylor slipped inside. I was a little surprised, but only in that she'd worked up the nerve to do so this soon. I'd been expecting her to take another week at least. Curious to see what she'd do, I gave no indicator that I'd noticed her, putting all...
2023-05-19 13:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostThe trip to Florrum would take a few days, which gave me time to run MJ and Gwen through the hypnosis app. I wasn’t entirely sure how purchase bindings worked, but I figured it wouldn’t hurt to treat them as if they were in the process of being captured. So while I had them sitting in front of the holotable, the hypnotic patterns running through the air captured their attention. In the mean...
2023-05-19 01:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostI let Storm use my bed that night, pulling out an air mattress and sleeping bag for myself while Duke was happy to curl up next to me as I settled in. I gave him a scratch behind the ear before closing my eyes, my mind racing with thoughts of the mysterious woman in my bedroom.
The sound of rain tapping against the roof woke me up the next morning. I groggily rubbed my eyes and got up, st...
2023-05-18 13:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostRaphtalia leaned against Lok. She’d never seen a demihuman like him: he didn’t have a tail or ears on top of his head, but he was bigger than anyone she’d ever seen and he was nice. He was gentle, always moving really slow around her, and letting her lean against him when she was tired. She was tired a lot, her lungs were always full of fluid, and her scars hurt from where the man who’d...
2023-05-18 01:00:01 +0000 UTC View Post“Mr. Smith…”
“Yes, Miss Hebert?”
Taylor took a deep breath, bracing herself for the inevitable rejection he would give when she confessed her crush on him. Firming her resolve, she forced herself to speak, “I know you’re a cape.”
Fuck! Not what she wanted to say! As she scrambled to think of a way to salvage the situation, she heard something she never had befo...
2023-05-17 13:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostWhen I woke up, I admit, I was pretty surprised. The last thing I remember was lying in a hospital bed, waiting for the injuries from the wreck to do me in. When my vision went black, I was expecting that to be it. Hopefully I’d get into heaven, even if I never went to church, nor did I really believe, but I had still tried to live a good life. Instead, I was in what looked like an abandoned,...
2023-05-17 01:00:01 +0000 UTC View Post“God damn it,” I grumbled, looking up into the sky at the two figures duking it out. One had a mane of long hair whipping around their head and appeared to be held up by what looked like an oversized wingsuit, while the other stood on a glider that any New Yorker, current or former, would recognize.
I picked this place in the backwoods of Appalachia for my new home because I was sick ...

“So, what’s the damage?” I asked, only half joking as I came out of the scanner. My joke went unappreciated by Nikhol and Lana, who were reading the results with surprised and puzzled expressions. The look on their faces had a pit forming in my stomach, so I asked, “It’s not dangerous, is it?”
“I am not sure,” Lana said ...
2023-05-16 01:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostI watched as Magna shook the hand of the balding man with the wicked cheek scar. I was so glad I was treated as a glorified bodyguard/pencil pusher for the several week long negotiations, watching Magna talk circles around the negotiators was like watching poetry. Plus I just didn’t have the head for that sort of thing.
Magna managed to secure an agreement that the local govern...
2023-05-15 13:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostMonday morning, I felt stares from multiple students, more than I’d been anticipating. I’d been getting looks from Taylor, hers were expected. After what I’d done with her last Friday, Sophia’s was expected as well. The surprise was Emma. It was a bit of a concern, given how I’d been here for a month and a half and cottoned onto the fact that she’s nuttier than a squirrel before win...
2023-05-13 01:01:00 +0000 UTC View Post“You sure, kid?” Caerel asked, the Blood Knights preparing to continue their patrol throughout the Plaguelands.
“I am,” Salandria answered. “I went into the Blood Knights specifically for this. The commander knew ahead of time.”
The tanned blood elf let out a disappointed sigh, sending a look my way as I secured the buckles on my armor, before saying, “Well I can’t s...
2023-05-12 13:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostOnce again, I found myself sitting in front of Tyrion Lannister, the dwarf looking at me like I was something disdainful. I got the distinct impression that he didn’t like me. Couldn’t possibly imagine why.
“Is there something I can do to assist you, Lord Hand?” I asked as he poured two goblets of wine.
He took a sip of his wine, eyeing me over the rim of his goblet...

“Seismic readings have isolated a point of activity on the western side of the Canadian Rockies, approximately one hour after Immortal had his migraine and a number of individuals that the GDA’s been keeping an eye on collapsed,” the glasses wearing assistant responded.
“Their status? And what category w...
2023-05-11 13:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostStaring out over the tombstone covered hillock, I frowned behind the metal helm that hid most of my features, only my tusks and the blue light of my glowing eyes visible. It was bizarre, seeing towering buildings of glass and steel stretching towards the sky, after fifty years on Azeroth. I would have thought that the ritual the… heroes used would have shredded my soul, or left me at...
2023-05-11 01:00:02 +0000 UTC View Post“Come with me,” I told her, grabbing onto her wrist and pulling her to her feet. Even as late as it was, I still wasn’t going to do this in the middle of a public park. “Be a good girl and stay quiet.”
Sophia’s mouth clicked shut, even as a flush started to appear on her face. I smothered a smirk. Even if I couldn't justify using it in class, the seal sending a rush o...
2023-05-10 13:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostI groaned at the throbbing headache pounding in my skull. This was the last time I went on a bar crawl with Ioseph. Fuck, last thing I remember was talking to some guy about 40k and Invincible. I blinked as I thought over the last memories I had, damn I must have been drunker than I thought, since I can’t remember what the weirdo looked like.
‘Seriously, what kin...
2023-05-10 01:00:01 +0000 UTC View Post“Spider Shooter!”
I leapt aside, avoiding the bullets sent my way. Despite the bravado I’d presented earlier, I recognized that I was in quite a pickle. Infermon was level higher than me, and I lacked a supply of Dark Gears or other means of ramping up to enable me to supercharge my Devimon form. My mind raced as I tried to come up with a plan. I had been s...

I came to with a groan, my hand moving to my head to try to rub away the throbbing headache. My head felt like the stage of a Riverdance performance, and my throat felt drier than the surface of Mercury.
“Easy,” Nikhol’s voice cut through the pounding fog that was my head, a straw pressed to my lips. I drank the cool water I was o...
2023-05-09 01:00:01 +0000 UTC View Post“Excuse me Mr. Smith?” a faux cutesy voice asked.
I glanced up from the papers I was grading, meeting the pouty face of Madison Clements. I kept the irritation off my face as I waited for her to say what she wanted. When she didn’t respond, merely staring at me while waiting for a verbal response, I turned my gaze back to the papers in front of me. The silence took a stunned, surpri...
2023-05-08 13:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostThere was a gnome sitting on my bed, dressed in white robes and her blonde hair in pigtails. Her tiny feet were kicking against the edge, like a kid sitting on a fence. Seela and I stared at her blankly for a moment, before she broke the silence.
“Who are you?” Seela asked, only for the gnome to get a confused look on her face.
“Don’t you remember? I’m Chromie,” she said...
2023-05-06 01:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostMerchant Captain Mumesh stared at the stranger as he came on board, his eyes narrowed. The man had clearly been marooned for some time, but despite that, he had a greater number of Asyeng Artifacts than anywhere outside the Holy City of Ishozo. Such a curious puzzle he represented. Especially since the men said he didn't speak Obzes, the dominant trade language.
He had apparently befriend...
2023-05-05 13:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostTaylor eyed the new teacher. He was tall, clean shaven, brown hair, and looked like a stereotypical teacher. That wasn’t what had her attention though. It was the fact that he was a cape. Or at least, that was the only reason she could think of for him to have a few hundred bugs inside his body. More than that, while she could feel them, for the first time since The Locker, there wer...
2023-05-05 01:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostIn the end, my team consisted of myself, Salandria, Xiulan, Aryema, and Kehka. Seela and Mellia were the only members of our group to partake in the attack on the liches, while the rest of the Blood Knights confessed that they were so used to fighting together that splitting them up would do more harm than good. That didn't stop me from giving them a stern talking to about not letting their gua...

Mid-Morning
I swam a ways out this morning, there’s some kind of reef a short ways from shore. Most of the fish I saw looked to be related in some way to the toad fish that make their home by my base camp. In addition to a fuckton of fish, there were also a large number of crustaceans, some skitting about on the coral or the seafloor, but also a ...
2023-05-04 01:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostFirst day of UA, and I couldn’t help but smirk as I sat in my assigned seat. The game the night before had done wonders for Izumi’s nerves, as outside of having a notebook in front of her and jotting notes while looking at our other classmates, she was visibly calmer than I’d have expected her to be. The class roster was also different from what I’d been expecting.
Sure, Toga and ...

Despite that, I was still surprised to find us, not five minutes later, rutting again. I was on my back, while she was grinding her hips into mine, her hands on my chest as she used her upper arms to press her ...

“It has,” he said, his default smug, smarmy smirk firmly in place. “After such a gift, how could I say no to a request for a simple meeting?”
I smiled, reaching into the bag I’d brought with me, pulling out a pair of crystal and gold rimmed g...

There was the sound of shattering glass, and a woman with three toned hair and a parasol appeared in another. Sitting opposite the woman, was an exceedingly pale, jittery man dressed in clothes that had fallen out of style centu...
