Before we left the library to explore, I gathered everyone together. We could have left right after that, but I made everyone stop as I turned to Rana. "Ok. This place is teeming with heartless, I won't insult you ...

I'd like to claim I had some sort of suave response to that, like I shot back with some cool retort, but I'll be honest. I just kind of gaped. First of all. Tits. Which, you know, exposure or not, are always fun. ...
2022-11-27 05:03:38 +0000 UTC View PostI was in pain. So very, very much pain. I was considering inventing a new word to describe this sensation actually, because pain seemed like it was underselling exactly how much this sucked. Not even agony was enough. I raised my head from the dirt to glare at my tormentor, seei...

I spent a few hours catching up with Kit after that. The first hour was basically a guilt fest where we each tried to claim responsibility for what had happened. Eventually Zee and Rana came and found us apologizi...
2022-11-26 19:04:43 +0000 UTC View PostWe got in early the next day, as requested. Well, day was a strong word. We arrived in what was technically the morning, despite the lack of sun and any waking people to interact with. We caught the Beast Lord Garden initiates going HOME for the night when we got in, and I used ...

It was time. Today was the day of my wedding. The entire process had been both far too long and oddly short, seeming to take forever while it was happening and being gone much too quickly. Thinking about all this, I &nb...
2022-11-25 19:59:51 +0000 UTC View PostA week. A week of constant ass kicking, three days of the group fights alone, then four more days of group fights while Abel did his best to actively distract us. That week got me seventy points, as well as seven attacks to stockpile. Thirty five wishes. The seventy points ...

2022-11-24 22:46:00 +0000 UTC View PostIt took us the whole day to manage to properly internalize each other's positions to an instinctual level.

2022-11-23 18:53:24 +0000 UTC View Post"Ow!" I yelped as a rock smacked into the back of my skull. The stone turned to powder on impact, having been thrown hard enough to break on my higher ranked head. I reached up to grip my head with a hiss of pain, spinning around to try to spot the person who threw it. Something...

We showered for much longer than expected. Cherry's new and improved ghost body didn't need to breathe, which led to some fairly enjoyable blowjob antics, and Zee became unspeakably jealous that the platinum blond was &...

2022-11-14 20:11:30 +0000 UTC View PostThe biggest issue going forward was that I was about out of charges. I wasn't completely tapped, since I was still conscious, but too many more DS skills would put me out of the fight, which only left me with normal Skills and stored attacks.
