Callie and the others headed over to meet up with my mom and Chelsea now that they were here, but I stayed back, wanting talk to Zeke about something important.
“Well that guy was a dick.” I said as we wandered away from the group. “Who is he exactly?” I could see the ten...
2024-05-23 22:52:17 +0000 UTC View PostThe banquet was being held in a central location. Or rather, THE Central Location, since that was what the people of Tricorn called the building in the absolute middle of the three districts. It was a weird building. Specifically, it was more like three buildings smashed together into some weird ...
2024-05-23 00:06:46 +0000 UTC View PostThe rest of that day went by in a blur. I had so much to think about, so much to do. Training with my mom was an intimidating thought. A powerful A-ranker with two abilities, one of which was similar to some of my own powers. It would be interesting to see exactly how far I could go with Mephisto...

Couldn't resist a little back to basics. This one was a nod to early Nicky lol.
2024-05-21 23:19:03 +0000 UTC View PostThe next week flew by. As usual, I made sure to grind out my wishes with the help of whoever I had handy. I’d have liked to help my friends, but honestly I was starting to worry about falling behind. I got four hundred ninety points from the wishes, and a trickle in from my renown of two hundre...

People have been asking for a vacation arc for a while, so we got one, Nicky style.
2024-05-19 20:38:25 +0000 UTC View PostState of Grace made me graceful as I slipped through the hole I’d made in the ceiling. Stealth made me silent. The second I got through, I closed the hole back up. I landed on a platform made from Ripple Running, which was still active from my ascent to the roof, and casually reached up to grab...
2024-05-18 00:04:34 +0000 UTC View Post“This is the place?” I asked Pret as we stopped outside a large building. I looked around, and I couldn’t see any sign of this place being particularly important. No groups of people, no defenses. If I had set up a distribution center for a giant intergalactic drug trade I’d have left gua...

By popular demand, there'll be a downtime arc before we wind things up. Hope everyone is excited for the final arc, it's going to be pretty big.
2024-05-16 23:43:20 +0000 UTC View PostThe first thing I did when I got back to the inn was wake up Callie. She was less than thrilled, but once I explained what happened, she agreed it was for the best. I’d filled Zeke in on the way back so he didn’t see a need to interfere. Still, with the extra info, he decided to approach Harr...
2024-05-15 22:46:00 +0000 UTC View PostI left the inn on my own after talking to Benny. I needed to think, and I wanted to be alone with my thoughts. I wore my mask and armor though, so none of the Horned Lords drama would affect me. I was just a relative nobody walking the streets in the dark.
It struck me as I walke...
2024-05-14 22:55:37 +0000 UTC View PostReturning to the bar was anticlimactic. We weren’t pressed for time, so we didn’t need to worry too much about safety, which meant we were mostly just sitting around trying to guess what the crates were full of for twenty minutes. We shut up as we arrived, bringing them into the bar and stack...

I had a lot of fun with this one.
2024-05-13 23:14:12 +0000 UTC View PostSeven wishes. Two of the same type as last time, luck entering and getting out, and five serving a variety of purposes from information gathering to defense. Without any overarching info, they had to go with vague language like ‘best possible position to overhear important information’ and ...

Bringing some family members in on the secret.
2024-05-10 23:27:30 +0000 UTC View PostThe next day, we all had to get ready for whatever the hell Griff was having us do. We hadn’t headed back to the bar yet, but we’d all gathered up to go over some of the details before we had to leave, and all of us were more than a tad worried about the direction things had been going in tha...
2024-05-10 00:09:38 +0000 UTC View PostThe biggest problem that I ran into with Zagan was that I wasn’t sure how the hell I was supposed to use it. Not the mechanics, I could just shove healing energy into people, but the actual staff form. Each of my forms possessed a physical moveset, a series of staff arts that anchored them to G...

"And then he set canon Harry Potter on fire and scattered the ashes across the seven seas" lol but seriously, I was building to this, and I don't think anyone saw it coming this early.
2024-05-08 23:13:23 +0000 UTC View PostWe managed to get out of the meeting without any bloodshed. Zeke vanished again soon after, and Callen reappeared only to take off to talk to my mom about all this. Griff and the others all headed home (thankfully they didn’t live at the bars) and he told us to meet him back at there the next n...
2024-05-07 23:28:50 +0000 UTC View PostWe wandered around for a bit listening in, but we didn’t have context for anything we heard so we didn’t learn much. We hadn’t expected to, really, we were here for the meeting to get a good idea of who our enemies were. It didn’t take long for things to start though, and after a few minu...
