Psychoprotective Collections complete

As the title indicates. Y'all voted for me to catch up with all of the archival stuff, and I am. Enjoy.

Psychoprotective 11

There are more of these than I thought there were.

-------------------

True to Miss Milla’s words, it took about four minutes for Tanya to be able to stand, and three more for the pins and needles sensation to fully fade. Which was enough time for a quick change of clothes and trip...

Psychoprotective 9

More stuff I didn't properly cross-post.

-----------------------

    Tanya didn’t know what was worse. The idea that she had just narrowly escaped subsumption by a deranged manifestation of… what even was it? With only “not obvious” changes to their behavi...

Psychoprotective 6

I think this one was a bonus chapter I posted just because...

---------------------

“Children, I have an announcement. The seven names on the torches, you know the ones, are forbidden to be spoken of. It upsets Mr. Cook and his associates to hear them.” Was the first thing said by...

Psychoprotective 1

Finally getting around to making a collection for Psychoprotective. Main reason I didn't before was because I foolishly did not post every single snippet here when it was new. The first one was merely linked from the relevant poll, even. Fixing that now.

This o...

A young Swordsman's adventure 16

The poll result is in. I'll start posting the fae stuff, along with a few stray stuff I never bothered posting here, on Sunday. So, prepare for a deluge of updates then. Sorry in advance.

Tracking down someone like Zoro was not a simple matter. What was simple was t...

A young devil's consultancy 6

Yeah, was in a rush this morning, but the chapter was rather unpolished anyway, so I fixed it up a bit before posting it here. enjoy. Next is more swordsman's adventure.

Fae Bargain update/question

So I haven't been posting one of my commissions here for... no reason that I can remember.

[Commission] Path to Living 1 [Worm/The Last Wish]

Forgot to post this here.

This is gonna be a short one, planned out to be 7 chapters of 2k words each. Whether I hit that mark accurately remains to be seen.

    They had finally won. The golden man has died, and the monst...

A young swordsman's adventure 15

Ironically, while the Humandrills could navigate the Grand Line just fine, albeit in a manner that could use improvements, they were completely hopeless in the Blues, where you couldn’t just go ‘point the ship in the direction of this Log Pose/Vivre Card’ and expect that to work.

Lois Lane was something of a celebrity herself, among her circles. She’s won two Pulitzer Prizes, and was seen as something of a firebrand who speaks truth to power. From her public image, she was the reporter who truly believed that truth set people free… which was not always true. 

Summon Perfect Warlady 2.01

Last weekly update before the one-month break. I'll be pausing the patreon's payment system for one month starting sometime this week.

Yes, I'll still be posting the Devil's Consultancy update on the 1st.

------------------

With a total upkeep that could be rounded up to twenty-...

A young swordsman's adventure 14

​So I know I've been writing a lot slower as of late. I think I might be burning out. So, allow me to make an announcement: I will be taking April off from my usual updates, and instead putting in some effort into chopping at the backlog. 

To clarify, April will still provide ...

Psychoprotective 3.11

Did Tanya anticipate having to drop two hundred dollars on reasonably fashionable clothing for an old man this morning? No. Was it money well spent, particularly as she got to have the pleasure of burning his old clothing for him? Yes. Did she have the spare money to do it? Also yes. She’s goin...

A young swordsman's adventure 13

Sorry, forgot to post this here.

[King Dracule Mihawk]

Ever since Shanks sold his arm for the future, Mihawk feared that he would never again find a worthy opponent to sharpen his steel against. It made him grow lazy and weak.

But then Tanya got ...

Summon Perfect Warlady 26

Within the next ten turns, every single member of the Royal Crown Coalition besides Yojo Mojo were destroyed by Charlsecomm’s gun-wielding Archons.

Every turn, Tanya duplicated herself cheaply and promoted the duplicate to Chief Warlord, and with the anti-gun measures they had put in plac...

Psychoprotective 3.10

Okay this is a bit short still, but making Ford's final mind was like pulling teeth. Not really happy with it, but I should move on. 

----------------------------

Last she heard, the ‘Admiral’ persona has made his way to the parking garages, washing all the cars.

March poll and announcement

Okay, so here's the thing: I upgraded my computer this week, and now the thing won't even boot up properly. While it's not exactly impossible for me to get the psychoprotective chapter done in time, it's unlikely. So the next chapter will be posted when it's ready.

A young devil's consulting 4

This chapter is weird, too long in parts and too short at the same time. Still, it's done. More cuteness/brattiness next chapter if it wins again.

Surprisingly, the alien invaders didn't take out all of Earth's Satellites as an opening move....

Summon Perfect Warlady 25

I know it's a bit short, but the next scene was too long, and more importantly the end of this chapter is a good breakpoint. 

-------------------

With the majority of the column decrypted, it wasn’t quite at full strength, but it was about two-thirds the strength it started wit...

A young swordsman's adventure 12

Marejois was, on the surface, the most lavish and extravagant city that Tanya had ever seen, and she got to visit Dubai once. Everything was designed by artists, where cost was no object. A royal palace writ large, sustained by the tax dollars of a global polity.

It was also filled with sla...

Psychoprotective 3.09

It makes perfect sense. Kidnap the head of the Psychonauts, swap the brains, and then use the Psychonaut’s own classified information precautions against them.

Every little discrepancy and oddity was reviewed, and she could see the lines where he bluffed. He clearly had done his homework ...

A young swordsman's adventure 10

Realized I forgot to post this here. chapter 11 was posted right before this.

[Age 5]

Shimotsuki Kozaburo had a very distracting physical feature: His eyebrows were longer than most mustaches, and was styled like one, with long strands slicked to the side, and they bobbed w...

A young swordsman's adventure 11

After about three weeks of essentially slamming their head into the problem until it breaks, as had always worked before when training was concerned, Tanya decided that she needed a different approach.

First, they gave Shodai Kitetsu a new, fancy sheath. Then, they locked the sword inside i...

Summon Perfect Warlady 24

Ansom set off bringing two of the three Mecha stacks, which he led (Tanya used Date-a-mancy to augment their stack size), along with a set of eight siege towers that were impelled to have a small amount of their own move (6) by Elya. As the Mecha had 12 move, they could move 9 hexes per turn by u...

Psychoprotective 3.08

The gardener Ford faded away into another teleport, rejoining his other halves. Really, the multi-presence thing he has going on is actually quite fascinating, but it’s long been understood that insanity was an excellent way to allow for powerful psychic effects… without any way to use them p...

February Poll

Given how much of Unknown Justice's planned beats is being used by a young swordsman's adventure, I'm removing it from the list altogether. 

Edit: Ack, accidentally added Summon Perfect Warlady as an option. I use mostly autocomplete to populate it, sorry. It will not win no...

A young devil's consultancy 3

Tanya had thought that taking Richard in was a poor idea, given the risks afforded by Batman’s double life, and more relevantly to her, by giving her less time when not acting.

Fortunately, Richard wasn’t quite old enough to properly comprehend what it meant when he sees a five year old...

Summon Perfect Warlady 23

This whole week has been a creative desert... I managed to get this done, though. I don't think I'm going to be able to manage a Fae chronicles update this month, tho.

Psychoprotective 3.07

As it turned out, Lili had led the two other Psychic Six descendents to Otto’s lab. “You don’t say?” Otto asked as Tanya entered the room. “Truman said that? That doesn’t sound like him.”

“If by ‘that’, you mean ‘ordered me to try and make Ford sane again’, he did.�...
