Fresh stirs as the loud thudding comes from the other side of the door. Sleepily, the girl opens her eyes, feeling the morning light shine in through the dusty window. Looking up at it from the pile of blankets, she realizes that she still hasn’t taken the time to properly clean it yet. All of ...

None of it. Not the scorpion life, not us saving the fairy-mother, not us rising up to a beach and enjoying the nice view and warm air. No. I’m still floating. Still here. Still forgotten. I open my eyes, despite not having any and...
2021-04-04 07:10:05 +0000 UTC View PostThe rest of the day would come to pass without further event. Fresh sits inside of the house, processing the mushroom-caps that Jubilee had carried to the entrance of the dungeon for her to pick up and bring the rest of the way to the house, along with some other assorted loot. Fresh isn’t sure...

My little legs scuttle over the stone brickwork of the electric floor, the floor designed like the number eight. Or maybe more aptly, like an infinity loop. Depends on your mood I suppose, guy. But for now I scuttle. I’ve made it bac...

I swipe my tail at him and he flies out of the way. I click and snap at him. I can’t stand James. Nobody can. He dodges out of the way and keeps...

Their eyes burn with the same intensity that they did when Fresh threw the bread at them. They make a noise as they begin to speak, a finger raised to point at her from a shaking, tens...
2021-04-01 11:31:13 +0000 UTC View PostJubilee and Fresh walk through the busy crowd of adventures that is bustling like an excited hive. Groups of them run back and forth from the nearby houses, filling up as many pots and cups and old empty bottles from the fountain as they can.

You might be wondering, guy, how did you get past all the stuff on the way here? The red dragon? Th...

My mandibles click as I excitedly scuttle over the desert dunes, searching for new prey. Fine grained sand is blown all around me, propelled by the soft desert winds, piling it high atop the many dunes that seem to rise and fall like the waves of an orange o...

“It’ll need a minute longer,” says the man, as they walk through the forest.
Nervously, she leans forwa...

I feel it. I feel it. I feel it. I don’t have bones, but I feel it. I don’t have eyes, but I see it. I see the darkness all around me. The humming darkness of limbo. The buzzing energy that converges here, vanishing into the void, like sparks shooting from a cut wire,...

“Orange. Yours?”
The bauble zooms in on the girl who is still laying in a ball, down in the seat, her back to the console.

Well, it was a fun ride while it lasted, guy. I feel kind of sad, but… now that I’m free from that body and its emotions I also feel just a little bit more unbound. Like a string that was binding my soul has been cut loose. It hurts, but at the same time, I’m me ag...

Making these potions uses more mushroom powder than she had thought they would, given their small size. They have eleven more vials in total, after the one Fresh drank before. But there’s still enough powder...
2021-03-28 11:50:41 +0000 UTC View PostDo you ever wonder what it’s all about, guy?
Not this dungeon stuff. I mean, like, you know, ‘it’. All of ‘it’. My boots thud up the stairs as I rise higher still, clawing my way out of the proverbial pit. Yet something in this body, some tightly wound thread that was l...

But apart from that, it’s such a lazy, sleepy mixture of sounds that surrounds us here. Cicadas buzzing in the waving, dry heat. Running water from the little crook that is babbling just next to us. I cover my mouth as I loudly yawn, my back laying on the ...
