Setsuko couldn't help but chuckle, just a little. She wasn't really that bothered by the brief argument, but it was always entertaining to see people who got carried away with themselves get put in their place. As the girl dragged...Sasuke away, the library seemed to fall silent again. Sasuke...

Tsuki Haruomi First-year student Yurigaoka Girls' Academy STR 5 DEX 3 WIL 4 Afternoon, Sunday, 1944年04月02日 Dormitory, Yurigaoka Girls' Academy A quiet clatter of wood emitted from the dormitory's broom closet as Tsuki let go of the mop she was holding, allowing it to fall against the wall...

UNMRAS Campus, San Francisco Time: 1545 The wind whipped through Norah Eisen's braids, the gears of her bicycle clickclickclicking as she raced down the slanted roof of what was apparently the second tallest building on the grounds. Or maybe a close third? Whatever it was, it suited her...

"Yeah, I figured you'd say that." As often happened, the showman thought that a few good throws and a wall of muscle meant he was a cut above the real athletes. On the topic of Inoki vs. Ali, pro wrestlers and their fans could quibble about how all the restrictions placed on Inoki made him...

On average, it seemed like Shangren's team was made up of a fairly experienced bunch, those who understood the idea of not competing solely as sportsmen or entertainers, but as warriors. Of course, experience was necessary to truly hone one's skills, but if you had thirty years of experience...

Without Sachiel noticing, the goddess of the sea was before her, as surely and unexpectedly as high tide. Salacia's presence was majestic as always, dignified yet welcoming as the waves of a steady sea. Sachi greeted her with a wide smile, still unkempt but charming as always to the mortal...

4/12 (Friday) Early Morning The smell of fire, smoke, charred flesh. The sight of blood. His blood. Streaking down her face as he cradled her with his bloody arms, pleading his beloved, his only daughter, to run. Run before they found her. She ran, smoke and terror filling her lungs. Eyes...

"Rrrrgh...!" A guttural snarl escaped Heartbreak's throat as she pulled all her fading strength into Thrud's struggle with Countess. A cornered animal would risk every last chance it had to claw and bite, and Countess was probably rarely pushed to this point. Even so, her bloody claws and...

Rose's artificial feet click-clacked along the stone paving of the sewers, her mind already registering the dense, muggy particles that made up the effluence and remains of not only the organic inhabitants of Dalkenshir, but also whatever made its residence down here. Surely there were no few of...

"U-unhand me, cat!" Furiko gasped, twisting slightly to pull her shirt out of Kihachi's grasp. Just when things seemed like they might be getting better, the pendulum had to swing the other way. This little group of the Helmet Gang was all but routed, and it might not be necessary to pick off...

An earth-shaking explosion rattled the glass on the front of the warehouse, followed by a nearly imperceptible thud on the roof and slow but steady fire from the skylight that cracked the helmets of the Gangsters one by one, knocking them out as if with sharp blows to the forehead or jaw. Was it...

Earth, February 13th, 2375 Holy City of Ishtar, Egypt Music thrummed through the dimly lit nightclub, neon light arcing and cutting through the throng like waves on a stormy sea. For all the ways humanity had changed, this could be a scene from 1980, or 2180, or 2000 BCE. Human beings touched...

Before much could be said or done to form a plan to shelter in place, the group was on the move again. Yeah, trying to barricade themselves in a single room probably would've been a stupid idea anyway, not to mention their lack of knowledge about what exactly was happening. Could they wait it...

Nabi, for her part, had taken to blending in with the crowd after her early success of being one of the first participants to assemble a full team. That didn't mean that she could relax, however. Instead, she was taking some time to carefully observe the bunch that hadn't joined her side. For...

"Mmmn, you're telling me." Erin mumbled, as if she was trying to restrain herself from saying something petty but just HAD to let it out. And to think that Nara, of all people, was able to pull such...cool magic out of somewhere while Erin had just embarrassed herself in the middle of their...

"Oh hey Nara, fancy meeting you here-" There was no time for pleasantries, however, as more of those weird-ass monkeys showed up. Nara (hopefully) was able to form up with them while a swordswoman appeared, her blade already bearing blood as she cut down one of the several creatures that...

Burning Wing took a moment to observe the now cheesy ice cream cone, but then thought better of it. She tossed it aside, sending it flipping end over end and splattering on a table for someone else to clean up once...this whole affair was over. "Eh, forget it." She glanced around at whatever...

Erin's eyes flew open, the sound of commotion hitting her like a wave. Her head was light and easy, without any trace of fatigue or weight. Thank the tiger's eye she kept in her pouch. Her hand crept up to her jaw, nursing the forming bruise that had been delivered, oh...about an hour ago...

"Blyat-" Rose definitely sensed the presence coming up behind her, having made no effort to conceal herself. It wasn't some kind of special ability, just the natural vigilance that came from her line of work. She could have hopped out of Maestra's path easily the moment her arms moved, but...

A wave of heat crept through the pathways and halls of the shopping complex as Burning Wing let loose, the aura surrounding her flaring up with the sensation of unfettered liberation shared by both sides of her, as much at odds as they were otherwise. She reveled, she rejoiced. She flipped over...
