Having no mercy with her glare for Dax, Sammy scoffed at the latest lame response. “Yes, that! I’m waiting.” Sammy crossed her arms.
Sighing again in frustration, Dax flopped back in her chair, her face pointed at the ceiling. “I’m sorry! I was worried it would u...
2024-06-14 15:13:30 +0000 UTC View PostAsh began conjuring her preliminary disguise as a raven-haired goth girl, toning down the makeup, which was logical for the culture they were in. No one would bat an eye in Geirkos, at least, which Sammy was sure to point out, since Ash seemed to like the makeup.
Sammy copied the image and ...
2024-06-12 14:58:58 +0000 UTC View PostSammy cocked her head and raised an eyebrow at Ash, her curiosity quite piqued. “You betrayed me? And, if I’m understanding this correctly, I incinerated you for it?”
Swallowing visibly, Ash nodded while never breaking eye contact. Somewhat hoarse, she replied, “I saw it all in a fl...
2024-06-11 14:57:46 +0000 UTC View PostWith the item out of the way, Sammy also utilized [Draw Mana] while she had the opportunity for a quick double MP fill — quadruple, actually, because it also counted as High Mana. 84 Mana Points returned to her.
With that done, she swam back to the shore, quickly banishing any water cling...
2024-06-09 15:37:02 +0000 UTC View PostTashome glanced up at Samantha, then looked down at the arrow. He sat back in his chair and picked it up. His brows furrowed instantly upon touching it. He inspected it for a long few moments. There was a feel of him weighing it in his hands — a weight nothing to do with physical mass.

2024-06-08 15:11:36 +0000 UTC View PostArthen Wybayer, Deputy Marshal of The Hunt, dismounted from his warg Winterseed some distance from the three whimpering ghost hounds most called Witchkillers. It was a logical alteration within the Dominion, as they did not care to be thought of as using spirits, at least not to the common public...
2024-06-07 15:26:38 +0000 UTC View PostThere was another minor issue related to Sammy’s [Bound] staff, which she thought about as she went through the motions of mirror travel — being an Artifact, it was supposed to have a name. The System seemed to taunt her with an empty custom entry just waiting there.

2024-06-06 14:50:45 +0000 UTC View PostSammy nodded thoughtfully to Azure’s musings about past lives. It was less likely that the System contrived different ‘eras’ because they knew the main point of worlds was their game, even if various other souls lived and died before, during, and after, never kno...
2024-06-05 15:03:24 +0000 UTC View PostAs Ash cracked open her notebook and moved her stylus to the paper, Sammy replied, “I will keep this even from others in my realm, even my Servitors. And I can read any runes, I believe.”
Ash’s eyebrows raised though her eyes did not move from the paper, as she began to ...

2024-06-02 15:14:53 +0000 UTC View PostSammy scoffed a bit at Ash’s words, though chuckling simultaneously from her hilarious curse. “I also fucking killed him, so don’t worry your pretty little head. Also… buttfiends?”
“Fiends that crawl out from the butt,” Ash muttered absently.
“That’s no...
2024-06-01 15:35:25 +0000 UTC View PostIt occurred suddenly to Sammy that healing spells did not need levels to be useful, even more so than buffs, since their effect was instant. And she had something that allowed her rangelessness if she had some sort of link, though at pretty bad penalties to effect levels if the link...
2024-05-31 15:12:19 +0000 UTC View PostSamantha released her 'captive' from the Mirror Maze, and Ash materialized out of it like a liquid crystalline blob turning into a solid humanoid form, before finally transforming fully into flesh. Ash gave a little yelp as she fell to the ground, but soon she laughed as her hands dug into the gr...
2024-05-29 15:04:34 +0000 UTC View PostSammy contacted Jeeves immediately after the realization. “I need to make a transfer up in the Everwood. We’re going to move Ash into another mirror and take our hot one elsewhere while hers goes to Stokefield. Just in case. Feasible?”
“Very good, Madam,” was Jee...
2024-05-28 15:42:56 +0000 UTC View PostSammy took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and activated [Spirit View] on her mirror. A new sort of vision came as her third eye opened and she sought signs of magic in the pathways of pneuma, hoping she’d finally get over the edge and know the spell for what it was.
Utilizing [Spirit Sig...

She soon discovered a dark alleyway that she had him duck into, and then took one last look around to make sure he was unobserved before making him completely vanish.

The voice shooting through Sammy’s realm like a lightning bolt barely paused. “Tell me you exist — Please. I have no other option… I’m almost caught, I’m… lost… so lost…” She almost broke into hysterics but seemed to steel herself with deliberate discipline. “T...

2024-05-21 15:17:31 +0000 UTC View PostSammy watched the revitalized, robed figure of Marjorie go, floating on a giant lily pad into the drowned forest in the fading light leading up to dusk. It was a very surreal vision. Then again, the whole experience had been surreal from start to finish.
She’s so beautiful. Ageless. V...

2024-05-18 14:49:06 +0000 UTC View PostSammy shot out in flight from Heavenpeak into the spirit world, to more accurately deduce the location, primarily through the ease of simply targeting Azure.
It was nearly right in the middle of the large forest immediately east of Rivermount, in what was no doubt former elven territory aeo...
2024-05-17 15:39:16 +0000 UTC View PostWith some effort, though feeling a lot better as the Realm Rules went up in smoke and the psychic pain abated (not to mention the new resistance bonus coming into effect), Sammy forced herself to stand. Her own connection back to reality was a kind of noise in the background that was slowly unrav...

The arrow in your heart, that was its name. Is. But the meaning… do you know what it once did? Music.” He leaned down slightly and held...
2024-05-15 15:09:25 +0000 UTC View PostThe fireball that went off around them was something like a connected-together nuke and there was no avoiding it. All was blasted and scorched, and the ambush precluded Sammy from attempting absorption.
Fortunately, it was over in an instant, which for Sammy and Ozra, meant only a wound neg...
2024-05-14 15:21:47 +0000 UTC View PostContinuously moving, Sammy checked off one foe as helpless and largely defeated while turning her attention to the other specter still ‘lighting up’ Ozra.
