The first thing I ever felt was a fist smacking into my face, snapping my head to the side and rattling every tooth in my skull. My heart immediately started thundering in my ears, making every other sound around me sound distant and muted. The taste of copper was heavy on my tongue, to the point...
2021-10-07 15:03:11 +0000 UTC View Post"Some of us have been doing a little better for ourselves than others!" I heard through the speakers, the observation punctuated with a mad cackle from a madman off-screen, the video zoomed in on a man in a chair, his back turned to the camera so it was impossible to make out who he was. "Some of...

Even when you had someone actively trying to trick you into doing it, it wasn't even particularly hard.

2021-10-06 15:00:33 +0000 UTC View Post"Show me," Wonder Woman said.
I opened my mouth to respond before the words caught up to me. My chin was still lightly pinched between her fingers, forcing me to look up at her. I didn't get the feeling that she was going to follow it up with a sudden "Gotcha!" to undercut the order, either...
2021-10-05 14:54:47 +0000 UTC View PostI hit the ground hard, landing in a heap, and as much as I would like to stay down, I couldn't. Even though the grass was so soft and I was so sore.
I flipped back up onto my feet, only to quickly throw myself back onto my back a second later to avoid a kick to...
2021-10-05 14:54:37 +0000 UTC View PostThe return from the planet Craxus was rewarded with more work. They only had a small window of time to gather intelligence on Tarble's Empire, so they had to make the most of it. All of them kept notes of their observations and findings, but Tim's were by far the most expansive and detailed. That...

2021-10-04 15:07:03 +0000 UTC View PostI was talking with my beta the other night about Fool's World and the importance of the first girl and how Korra more or less checked all the boxes that I wanted. But, I was having a little buyer's remorse because I do know that she's a bit of an unconventional choice that comes with some baggage...
