“Well, I’ll see you tomorrow then?” Drake said hesitantly, looking the Gorgon over. He’d tended to her rock-like natural armor for the better part of the morning and early afternoon. He was thankful for the repetitive task, if only because it distracted him from the fact that the Gorgon’s chest was swollen with venom again and he had no idea if or how the minute amount of caffeine she...
2020-11-30 13:47:16 +0000 UTC View Post“You have got to be fucking kidding me,” Drake Thane cursed, hauling himself to his feet after another harrowing trip into the Gorgon’s cell. She had accepted his gift of rocks, but had not made any sort of connection between the smooth and jagged varieties, instead using both to chip away at and then grind down the excess armor growing from her skin. That was how she spent most of her da...

A/N: once again I must apologize for the brevity, but I would prefer for you all to have a taste rather than nothing. I expect to have more time available for writing beginning in November or December.

“Well, that explains why it’s soul-crushingly hot outside. Guess my transgressions finally caught up with me. Though if memory serves I’m only supposed to meet you after crossing the Styx. I’m Alek-” the young graduate student was abruptly cut off as the ebony-skinned woman to his left replied with not words or a gesture, but a deep-throated snarl with plenty of dangerous...

“What are you still doing here?” Zolta demanded quietly. Asha looked up from her loom.
“I’m weaving, darling,” she explained the obvious, catching Alyra’s eye. The look on the priestess’ face made it clear she was free to go whenever she pleased.
“I thought we talked about this…” The young smith tried, though he knew it was likely a pointless effort....

"And one day she just appeared! Brooklyn, Cassin and I went out to meet her but she didn't want to fight. She just said she'd been very bored."
"That still doesn't explain how she found us or why her shard isn't corrupted," Thorson muttered, speaking with Yamashiro as they ascended the stairs to the dormitories together. Shigure was the subject of &nbs...

“Alice! My dear, what happened to your arm?” Yvonne demanded as she would of her own daughter, taking Alice into a compassionate but tender hug.
“How about answering where she’s been for the last forty eight hours, hmm?” Gerard suggested, waiting politely for the girls to finish their greeting. Xan didn’t bother hiding his surprise when Alice tur...
Though Commander Thorson was thankful for the efforts of Captain Stevens’ crew in his absence, he had no compunctions about kicking them out in order to discuss tactics, strategy, and the future with his fleet. Almost every ship on the base was in attendance, save Downes and Tennessee who were on prisoner guard duty, Ark Royal who was giving Yamashir...

The spunky scientist waved him off, bending over to access her tablet, still stashed away in her pack. The Marine could not help but realize that Alice had quite the perky posterior, evidenced by the fact that he could make out its contours at all in spite of the jumpsuit. He turned away wit...

"So we'll see you for dinner tonight then?" Veera asked Alice, the two women awaited by Russell and Kaha respectively. Both men had crates of gear from the now departed shuttle with them, and had set them just inside the gate while the sisters-in-law partook in their first truly relaxed conversation since meeting one another. The sounds of late summer ...

"I was unsure if I would ever see you again. It's been far too long, Langley."
"It has, hasn't it Warspite? All these young girls running around looking tall and buxom and far too voluptuous to be warriors…oh listen to me. I sound even older than I am."
"You look well, even better than I last saw you in fact! The riding crop really rounds out the out...

Keiko was about to request that Seth contact the rabbit when an alert reached them both.

After taking breakfast on the bridge with Penny, Zed, and Shiratsuyu, Thorson headed for the crew quarters to check on the wounded. Several beds had been moved to other locations on the ship to give the recovering girls peace from the everyday life going on around them. There he found Tennessee along with the wounded, the kittens of DESDIV8, and to his...

"Alice?" MacGregor got her attention, waiting to see how the situation would unfold. She seemed to understand his concerns. Asha and Zolta looked on quietly with curious expressions.
"Russell is here too. I'll be alright. I think it's best we show some trust, all things considered. I'll call for you when you come up?" She proposed, trying desperately t...

"There are a handful of issues that we should address quickly before returning you to the planetary surface," Natori declared before anyone could flee the conference room.
