I slumped down on my couch in exhaustion. Paula, mom, Gojo, Artemis, Reggie, Kit, and I were all sitting in my living room safely. Well, mostly safely, and mostly sitting. Paula was standing by the window,...
2022-02-19 16:25:22 +0000 UTC View PostI'd had so many preconceptions of Loki at different points of my life. The Marvel movies made him seem suave and misunderstood, the old stories made him seem wicked but competent, some books I'd read portrayed him as a broken psychopath, and I'd even watched an anime that ...

I was having so much fucking fun. I'd gotten so used to big waves of tiny annoying creatures or even tanky mid sized boys that I hadn't realized how fun it was going to be to fight these big fuck off plant...
2022-02-18 12:50:09 +0000 UTC View PostGraceland was huge. Not as big as some places I'd seen in hell obviously, but for a modern cemetery the size of it was nuts. Despite that however, I was surprised by how idyllic this place was. Every blade of grass was well trimmed and the haphazard architecture of the tombs &nb...

I was going out of my fucking mind having to go to school. I had re upped my point total to the full two fifty at noon, but hadn't been able to test anything since I had school. I'd skipped during that mess wi...
2022-02-17 09:43:13 +0000 UTC View PostComing home was, in point of fact, amazing. I stepped in my door and felt my stress just melt away. Admittedly some of it comes back as a tiger cub comes sailing through the open door and slams into my chest, but I catch Max easily enough and I can't help but smile and snuggle m...

Once again, upon waking I felt fucking amazing. Despite all the energy though my muscles still felt a bit weird and twitchy. Almost hypersensitive as I stumbled to my feet. The girls caught me on either ...
2022-02-16 14:58:43 +0000 UTC View PostI'd expected it to be difficult to get the darklings on the plane so we could leave, but it really wasn't. When I gave the order they just went. Mina, Sameul, Bernard, Louise, and Benjamin all filed right onto the plane at my direction, and with absolutely no argument, though &n...

I was exhausted. A month. A month of nearly non stop grinding trying unsuccessfully to use as few of my points as possible. I'd officially hit level thirty yesterday, with a daily income of a hundred and fif...
I was understandably worried about summoning Odin. For once because he was Odin, and summoning him could be considered kind of pushy and insulting, and despite the hellfire momentarily frying my brain in hell I was positive I couldn't take any of the really big players, and &nbs...

We'd done it. We'd found the anvil of fury. In point of fact we'd found the greater anvil of fury, Zee had been right on the money. Being the first to hit the level had given us a huge advantage in that it cre...
2022-02-14 14:33:02 +0000 UTC View PostStanding up was weirdly easy. In fact even the damage from the fall wasn't nearly what I expected. I felt stronger just from my time in hell, but more than that the vortex seemed to have refined me even further. Fifty percent. I was officially half angel. I could feel with...

Kent had fulfilled his promise to a T, getting a Zeta Tube installed post haste. There was a linked tube in Gotham already apparently (though he forbid Zee from telling us where) and she was able to come over ...
2022-02-13 11:52:04 +0000 UTC View PostParsing the subtext of this conversation was way beyond my level, but I had to do my best anyway. There were a few important elements even I got.

That statement did not go over well. With pretty much anyone. Sadly Giovanni decided to try to back it uip and thrust out a hand, snarling "gnirb reh ot em" a massive magican hand lashed out at Zee, ...
2022-02-12 06:28:03 +0000 UTC View PostThe aftermath of the tournament was surprisingly private. For all the watching crowds we were invited into the depths under the arena to speak to the big cheese himself. Malachi didn't come with us this time, though to my surprise he didn't seem upset.

I skipped school the next day. Zee stayed in my room with me, but we just slept and cuddled, I wasn't enough of a bastard to try something when she was in an emotional state like that. We woke up around the same...
2022-02-11 06:23:25 +0000 UTC View PostOnce again I managed to get back to my tunnel under my own power. Alleshara had been strong as hell, no pun intended, and I'd had a tough time beating her, but now all that was left was the finals. My current plan was to win the finals, and once I was in a position to effect the...

It was going to be a bad night. I knew this for a fact, because I was about to try to break into my girlfriends house for the second time. I'd lost contact with her again after our dungeon delve a few nights ago, &n...
2022-02-10 17:20:38 +0000 UTC View PostYang was laughing at me. Which hurt, but not nearly as much as my skull currently did. I glared at my cackling girlfriend in reproach but that just seemed to set her off even more, and she slumped against the wall of the tunnel, literally unable to stand from laughter. "Oh gods,...

I stared at my girlfriend with a raised eyebrow. "He still hasn't said anything?" I was shocked she was here. I'd been planning to break into her house later tonight to check on her. I hadn't talked to her in a ...
2022-02-09 19:46:43 +0000 UTC View PostThe rest of the night was a blur mostly. The crowd ate up my win and Lucifer proclaimed me a talent for the ages, showering me with hell liquor (seriously that stuff was nuts) and just generally naming me the life of the party. Despite my advantages even MY head hurt. I'd done m...

2022-02-08 06:16:18 +0000 UTC View PostThe banquet itself was a fairly dull affair. Not in the sense that nothing happened, it was a room full of fallen angels after all, but in the sense that I just didn't care what they were doing.
