Kasai stepped from the wall, adjusting the ring on their left forefinger. A short glance up revealed another new player. Technically they were all new players, sure. But the game had been going for some time, at least. Kurihara had been a bit late in getting her pass. A long story. This was an...

Lilian J. Wilkerson Who? Before her brain had processed the words or unfamiliar voice, in that split instance when you know nothing except for the fact that you're being addressed, she'd thought Skygge had rejoined her. She'd thought it was all a mistake and he would lead her away for...

"Careful with that! Do you know how hard it is to get good dust like that? You have to burn and prod and make sure nothing gets into the fire, not even dirt!" Louis was standing over a young woman, who was carefully measuring out vampire dust with a spoon and a piece of parchment. "I don't see...

Lilian J. Wilkerson Amazing "I thought so. Though I'm not quite sure what that business was about, either. It was something the executives at the winery handled." She shouldn't have taken this route. Talking about the winery reminded her of Adam. She felt ashamed, as if she wasn't giving...

Calm down! Ha! She was getting irritated by this Juniper woman. "What was that? I don't think I understand. How can you so easily get into our heads?" She was on the verge of leaving. Calm down! She wouldn't stand for this. Corey seemed to be picking up on her anger, because he was growing...

"King?!" Annette let that sink in. She took no notice of the girl who'd walked in, making it a point that she didn't care. What the heck was a king doing, leading a bunch of aliens out of danger? It made her question his motives, which she hadn't considered prior to that moment. What had he said...

"Hmph. What the women of my world wouldn't give to have men with the decency to lie about their fancies. I suppose there is some respect to be had for those who only glance at a woman's breasts. He still gets what he wants, and she isn't any the wiser. Another water, if you don't mind." Annette...

Annette nodded at the information. Don't be a troublemaker. Fine. She wasn't that interested in pointless undertakings, anyway. "Speaking of that...why do these men seem to have such a high resistance to your appearance? Is it because the women are so easily bedded here? They have no use for...

Out of habit, Annette sniffed the mug before grasping it with both of her hands. It was cold. Very cold. She drank slowly, knowing if she drank too fast she would get a brain freeze. "Annette," she said after gasping for breath. She pressed the excess part of her sleeve to her mouth to dry it...

Anything sounded good. As someone who'd lived homeless for the past few years, combined with the amount of running she'd just done, any beverage would have done just fine. "Water's good for now." She would probably have some wine when her tongue didn't feel like sandpaper. She tried not to...

Coming Soon An amaranth planted in a garden near a Rose-Tree, thus addressed it: "What a lovely flower is the Rose, a favorite alike with Gods and with men. I envy you your beauty and your perfume." The Rose replied, "I indeed, dear Amaranth, flourish but for a brief season! If no cruel hand...

"So, if it isn't magic, how 'cool' can it be really?" Annette asked, stretching her legs. Her head wasn't feeling too great. Probably dehydration. Maybe she'd pay a visit to the counter sooner rather than later. "Hold that thought." She made for the door. Corey was hesitant to leave his...

"Don't suppose your kind can train as magic users as well? Assuming that's the case, you can count me in as well. Better than sitting around, yeah?" Annette had chosen a bed already, and she sat on the side of it as she spoke. She rubbed her neck, Bariss reminding her of her own thirst. She...

And now the she-demon was crying! Maybe it wouldn't be so bad here, just as Veril had said. Still, Annette would not like to leave behind her-- A wave of fear took over her. Her treasure pile. It was laying undefended, under the bridge. And her journals, the few she'd been able to keep. Being...

Annette would have snickered at the sight of the beasty girl being lifted so, but figured she didn't want to receive similar punishment. She settled for tacit smugness, and focused on what was being said. She'd assumed this realm was dangerous, but everything? Except chickens? She'd experienced...

Her hand twitched. She would deal with the horned beasty later. "Well, sounds like you've got the right idea here. Glad I landed in an alien world with some sense to it. Maybe more sense than my world. Which raises the question of the in between. I agree with the she-demon's question. Just how...

Oi, is she threatening me? Just you watch, she-demon. This ole witch still had some untapped power. Probably. Corey twitched his head, blinking twice at Grim. "No, Corey. Leader man says play nice, you heard him." Still, the bird was starting to grow more and more on edge. Maybe it was the...

"So...the Grim Reaper, eh? You know, Corey, I think it's best we not mind her at all. I think it's best we keep as much distance between this woman and ourselves as possible." Annette whispered as many words as she could, trying to cast a shielding spell. Unfortunately, no dice. "And though I'd...

"Acknowledging the fact that you are scary is not the same as being scared. Better mind that one, Corey." The bird cawed in agreement, resettling on the witch's shoulder. She scratched its head, hoping it would calm down as they walked. Should she need to turn him into a tiger to fend off that...

"Oh, eh...not you specifically. I mean--" Oh, now she'd done it. Gone and angered the horn girl. But she guessed that wasn't hard, judging by the bloodlust in her eyes. The bird landed on her shoulder, tired of flying around. Its black eyes studied the horn girl, but became quickly...
