The next few days were pretty much rinse and repeat for me. I spent the day tagging along as Amy spent time with Emerald, then came home, deep dicked Barbie, and made sweet little princess Emerald suck t...
2022-10-14 19:02:11 +0000 UTC View PostJessie's mood as we left the Beast Lord Garden was fantastic, and it brightened my day to see it. She'd become more effervescent since we'd made our pact about bringing back her brother, but this was more than that. It was the closest I'd seen to the way she acted when we first ...

The next day found us all gathered together, waiting to head out on a little trip that Sindella had arranged. Despite multiple rounds of questioning she categorically refused to tell us what the Arcadia Projec...
2022-10-13 19:20:48 +0000 UTC View PostWe let Jessie answer, though we had coached her on what to say. Since we'd come down here to feel out forces before committing to an alliance, we naturally weren't stupid enough to just tell her the whole story right off the bat. Letting an E ranker know what we wanted without &...

Emerald's green eyes widened in astonishment and slight horror as she stared at me. She wasn't scared of me personally. She was a D ranker, a Marquis like Amy, and dragonkin or not she could handle herself...
2022-10-12 04:26:53 +0000 UTC View PostThe trip back down the E district wasn't too long. We had to change into our costumes because even if I was willing to work with a faction as a Wishmaster candidate I wanted to keep my regular identity secret from anyone who was going to know about my Wish power, friends exclude...

The severity of the situation was kind of undercut by Zee's yelp as she realized her mom had been resurrected bare ass naked and threw a quickly conjured cloak over her, turning to glare at me as she noticed me ...
2022-10-11 21:16:27 +0000 UTC View PostWe spent the rest of the day at the Rowdy Badger, but after Jessie had spent enough time with Randall (which was to say he went to sleep because he was a bear and didn't have the energy to humor her anymore) we headed back home. We'd been doing research all day on the various &n...

2022-10-10 19:25:18 +0000 UTC View PostAs we sat down at the booth across from Sage and Cark, I finally took the time to take in my friend's appearance, and I was pleasantly surprised. Cark had spent months looking for Cass, and even after finding her he'd still been in fight or flight mode in some ways. The ti...

It was time. When we got back I'd headed for my phone and spent that ten million on the resurrection ritual. The version I'd found was some kind of gothic seeming magical construction that needed lots of candles and ...
2022-10-09 21:49:47 +0000 UTC View PostThe next day found us rested and refreshed. We hadn't ended up challenging anyone, just enjoying our time at the Pavilion. We still needed to find the faction behind them, but it was becoming increasingly obvious that Melissa was more the type of person we wanted to work with &n...

When I got back to the house, I noticed that the lights were mostly out. I'd put this off for hours, checking on a few things around town to drag my feet. Barbie was...difficult. She was intelligent,...
2022-10-08 04:43:04 +0000 UTC View PostThe humanoid constructs were waiting in front of the last few obstacles, spread out so we would have to face them one at a time to get to the end of the course. So when we came upon the first pair of constructs we didn't really have time to engage them slowly and figure ou...

The energy from all the guns was...a lot. Like, an absurd amount of power. Even in void form my brain whited out from the input. I felt like my head was full of tv static, and I had to work hard to force myself to s...
2022-10-07 21:05:34 +0000 UTC View PostThe most obvious way to prove ourselves, according to Alden, was apparently to undergo a kind of obstacle course. It was designed by the Pavilion to test combat capabilities. It sounded similar to the testing at the Academy, but when I asked about how it worked I was informed in...

2022-10-06 18:18:54 +0000 UTC View PostI half expected the crowd to turn on us after Jessie's stunt, lashing out at us for taking their bear, or declaring the strategy invalid. Instead, there was a long, deep silence as Melissa stared at Jessie and the now no longer restrained bear. The red haired woman mulled over t...

2022-10-05 18:46:13 +0000 UTC View PostI was exhausted by the time I got up to the seats to drop down. I was the first one up, so none of my friends were here yet. I was alone watching the show, but to my surprise one of the nearby revelers offered me a drink from a cooler he had with him, shooting me a grin. "Good &...

2022-10-02 19:43:25 +0000 UTC View PostIt took several days for us to get everything set up.
