Luckily for Fifer, Chase’s mood wasn’t usually hard to gauge. The hulking door to the well-secured armory inched open at its measuredly slow pace as Amel and Chase entered the room. Despite the grim urgency of the alert that had summoned them, the two of them were, as usual, still in the middle...

Drew and Yuki had both tried to be nice, but of course, Amel’s attitude didn’t change. Amel’s eyes subtly narrowed at Drew. “Look for attention somewhere else,” he replied coldly. Like he’d touched a hot stove, Drew shook out the hand he had extended as he pulled it back. He continued to...

Well, of course Drew had had to haul ass to get inside ‘on-time’, so he’d jovially waved off Xen’s pretty cordial apology with something along the lines of, ‘Oh nah, dude, it’s all cool, sorry for the trouble…’ He’d been mumbling that on his way in when he’d met Yuki, and he’d waved back to her...

Eyes intently locked on Amel’s, Chase was more than prepared to stand a little taller to meet Amel for a kiss. Just the small gesture would’ve been enough to get Chase excited, but, seeing the smile Amel went away with from it with just made Chase giddy. He had already started happily to...

Chase hadn’t wanted to get angry. Really, he hadn’t. Just… every problem he’d had lately had compounded on to this one issue, the one he had already been the most tense over. And he just didn't know what to do. He had just gotten so quickly overwhelmed that, by the time he'd realized it, he'd...

Khal found herself rather pleased as Fifer’s attitude gradually turned around. She had expected nothing less, though; it seemed to her like Fifer’s heart was usually in the right place. That was why Khal liked working with her. Khal’s attention had stayed focused on her until Chase had mentioned...

Khal laughed a little, hearing Fifer call her by her full name. Khal always laughed, if she didn’t just make a point of assuring Fifer just ‘Khal’ was fine instead. But Fifer, without fail, had always opted for ‘Khalida’ anyway, and so it Khalida it was. Khal had just never got used to the sense...

Another day. Khal stretched her limbs out carefully and let out a contented sigh as the warm morning light hit her eyes once again. The room was pleasantly cool, but warm and half-splayed out along her chest was Verona, who Khal could hear slowly, quietly breathing. That, and the distant...

Jacek Wolanski The Scriptwriter After the two of them set off, Jacek's erratic mood cooled significantly. It wasn't like there had been an end to the trouble they could get into now - he was still rather alert as he watched Verona peruse through the stalls - but at least now things felt...

Khalida Daher The Mercenary Khal simply gave a wide, self-satisfied grin as her two new companions took to her offer in stride. It hadn’t taken her long to find some good company, had it? And good company they were. In their own rather unique ways. She couldn’t help but feel a sense of quiet...

It had been a rather long night for Zerah. There was no real shortcut to dealing with revelation. No matter how some might try to go about it, it would be impossible anyone to avoid facing the consequences of their actions. It sometimes came to be that mortals only did so in death, but...

Convincing themself to get out of bed was usually the hardest part of Rollin’s morning. It required, among other things, finding a reason to bother getting up at all, which they sometimes had trouble doing. Not today. Their survival instinct was still alive and well, apparently, since, at an...

Chase slept through the night well. Relatively. …Not really. He’d left Beckah in a high mood, but everything that had happened afterward was clearly adamant about not working out for him. For once in his life, he’d tried to go to bed almost immediately after getting inside, knowing he wanted...

Chase had given a nonchalant shrug to Beckah's suggestion that striking out wasn't such a good idea. She was right, of course, but it wasn't as if that usually stopped him from doing anything. It was, however, a strong enough deterrent for the moment at least, so fortunately for everyone, there...

Khalida Daher The Mercenary Really, Khal didn't notice Virgil's attempt at speaking, or his backtracking attempt to properly address their other conversation participant. What she did notice was his comment about the three of them getting along, to which her smile turned delightedly impish...

Khalida Daher The Mercenary Khal couldn't say she had expected anyone in particular to chat her up because... well, she had been the one expecting to have to make a move on someone. Even in light of that fact, she can still say she's somehow surprised by the man who did end up taking another...

Chase wasn't concerned, or even very surprised, with the tense initial start Beckah gave to their conversation. That was a hunter for you. He was, however, a bit surprised to see things shifted. She suddenly started... laughing? He tried to keep a pleasant expression, but he tensed up ever so...

Khalida Daher The Mercenary For the first time in awhile, Khal felt light. Like usual, she was up and about at dawn. Her eyes were lost in the always beautiful signs of daybreak, a breathtakingly orange sky, and the vibrantly decorated capitol of Svel as it's many sights passed through her...

Zerah caught his breath as Seraphim Indara spoke, and bowed his head with modesty... and melancholy. The air between them, even in this idyllic space, was mournful and tense, quietly venerate of something lost. He wondered offhandedly, as he looked back to her, if that uneasiness he felt was...

Naomi reluctantly lifted herself up from Xaira's side with a small sigh. Another unimaginably perfect evening between them had come and passed. It had surprised her every time she had thought so these past few days, but the thought crosses her mind again that no time spent with Xaira really felt...
