O'Malley Penthouse November 5th 2010 8:00 PM EDT
We made it to the penthouse without much more trouble. I guided us with my stealth skills just in case because I didn't want to get caught in another ambush, but it didn't seem like it was necessary. Once we...
2022-03-06 17:50:34 +0000 UTC View PostMagic wasn't the only thing the attack drained from me. I'd been running on rage and hate and fear and a thousand other emotions, and when I poured it all into that spell it all just...left. I fell to my knees, almost boneless. Not with exhaustion mind you, but with the sort &nb...

I had to admit I wasn't necessarily against it, given the current situation, but I still had to point out the obvious. "I mean, you say that, but most of the time when I want to team up with someone I don't s...
2022-03-05 17:57:02 +0000 UTC View PostI admit to being a bit smug, which mixed with my simmering rage was an interesting combination. There was a distinct undertone of vindictive pettiness to the concoction roiling in my gut too, and I was pretty sure I was not hiding that cocktail of emotions very well because He W...

The wait had been agonizing. Well...no. It really hadn't, it had actually been pretty fun. My friends and I had taken to combing the island to try to find any leftover secrets, and it was fascinating some of th...
2022-03-04 17:37:16 +0000 UTC View PostI blinked at the small form of the outsider...king? Whoever he was he seemed pretty sure he could beat me even in my ascended state. His loss. I flickered across the field, smashing out with the fist that still had the cestus on it. I expected surprise and for my punch to ...

I swallowed, hard. Hard, that was a funny word, it described pretty much everything about me right now. Staring at my perfect angel of a girlfriend in skimpy fishnets and a thong with those perfect, pale ...
2022-03-03 18:11:52 +0000 UTC View PostTwo of them. Two outsiders glaring at me hatefully. Well, I mean really still one doing that, since Sharkface had no eyes, but still I was positive he wasn't going to be signing us up for a couples massage anytime in the near future. Regardless they both seemed pretty pissed, &n...

I wanted to run out into the night and track down my loved ones, to round them all up and bring them here. But we only had the one teleporter and it would be stupid to drag them through a freshly contained Goth...
2022-03-02 16:31:51 +0000 UTC View PostThe outsider creatures were...awful. They looked sickening, like a mix between black sludge, bugs, soldiers, and some kind of cancerous growth. The things were all pitch black and covered in sickening green veins. As I watched, I saw them fall upon my forces, some of them ...

Obviously with the harbor full off pissed off Amazons we weren't going to be able to sail to the island. Instead I'd burned the extra points to shadow port us back to the tower so we could use the teleporter to ge...
2022-03-01 18:11:13 +0000 UTC View PostDespite what we expected we weren't thrown into pitched battle as soon as we stepped into the territory of the ritual, with Loki's army falling back to allow enough room for a few of us to approach but not all. Naturally the girls and I went first because we were the strongest, ...

2022-02-28 15:55:43 +0000 UTC View PostThe next few days were both peaceful and hectic at the same time. As much as I'd like to say Kara being part of our little group was some blissful life changing experience, the fact was we had far too much to do to sit around fucking or cuddling all the time. Not that we didn't ...

It was time. Three months of constant growth and accruing power. Three months of training and fighting and combat against monsters and demons. I had a plan for killing Annabel, as much as I wished I didn't have to. ...
2022-02-27 16:11:51 +0000 UTC View PostWhen I got back to the house almost everyone was gone. Clearly Kara had picked up the girls and our other roomies had headed to Charity's or Harry's to wait their tests out. Two people however, were there, and surprisingly one of them was Kara herself. I must have looked surpris...

Level fifteen was mostly done. With the extra power and my massive boost in skill from the constant Outer Body Training nothing down here so far had really been able to give us trouble. Between my training hours of daily ...
2022-02-26 18:58:29 +0000 UTC View PostSo here I was, undertaking a trial to be the Champion of a god. Since Hades pretty much doubled as the greek pantheons banker we didn't need to go to Olympus or anything, which was good because of the time crunch. Kara was able to go pick the other girls up from a nearby entranc...

2022-02-25 17:33:56 +0000 UTC View PostThe entrance to the underworld was really stylish. I mean sure, the marble was a bit flashy, white with gold veins and all, but the rest of the decor was pretty understated. Sleek lines and lots of black wood furniture that wasn't too intricate or over the top. There were even a...

Twenty days. Twenty days of constant training and grinding had led me to this point. Twenty days and seven levels. We'd carved through level fourteen of the dungeon in that time, finally reaching fifteen and off...

Killing the Warlord was NOT easy, even after I pincushioned him with my whole wall of swords trick. With him slowed down I was able to keep up with him. Barely. But even between me and the others it took most of...
2022-02-23 16:52:56 +0000 UTC View PostThe aftermath of the meeting was less of a success than I'd hoped. We got people on board, sure, but we also got some pointed questions.

2022-02-21 16:44:58 +0000 UTC View PostAfter Odin left the meeting mostly broke up. People fractured into smaller groups and began discussing strategies and other business and I slipped out the front door with Raven trailing close behind.
