Was there a time in her life when she would watch so dubiously through the window at the face of a stranger passing by? Perhaps there was in the century prior when the world felt so wonderfully large as the mountain over where wistful clouds gathered around the bladelike peaks and caught the...

t took two scans of the room, and one awkward conversation with the girl working the bar to arrive at the conclusion that she had… arrived first. It certainly wasn’t the first time this had happened, or the second, or the third, but still, she had arrived late, so perhaps Moonlight had also...

The reaction was fast but late, heavy rounds cutting through the air with an angry zip before plunging into the earth with a heavy thud as Miasma finished her pivot. Not one for getting shot or for getting , Ayla dove back for the cover provided by truck or was it a van, or like an ATV sort of...

-In Saying The faucet is loose so — it drips — and water gathers around the drain leaking — down and lingering disturbed — disturbing the stillness — resting

“They always just felt hungry to me.” Yuina said, looking down at her hand. The blood had dried, her blood had anyway, in dark smears across the tips of her fingers where they stuck out between Karen’s. What remained of the Grimm stuck to her arm in thinning patches of quiet needing, but it was...

“You can fly? That’s really cool!” Masami said, perking up while her new partner was chewing on a bite of tart. “Wish I could do something like that, I can just see how to cut something.” She said, cutting off a far less dignified bite of her sweet to eat. There had been a girl in her class that...

“Ooh” Ayane said, leaning forward in her seat as she watched Sei create a sword from a mote of light. Were there other things she could make like that? Well if she was a one woman arsenal then she probably could make a bunch of different things. “That’s very pretty.” Ayane said, looking the...

“Might make for a nice lair, if you cleaned it up some.” Akina looked up at the ceiling, which seemed to contain primarily gloom, cobwebs and maybe scuttling, two of which seemed to go into hiding as soon as the light passed over them. Akina took a few steps after Sayane, pausing a moment to...

What a fucking mess this all was. Nessa resumed the tapping of her heel as the sounds of voices from the office did very little to improve her mood. Plans for the raid no doubt, hard to argue that they shouldn’t have those things ready, but it was all so irritating. The sweetness prickled in the...

“Got it,” Miasma said. Ayla slid out of cover and moved forward at a crouch. She managed maybe five or six steps before she paused and looked back at Molt and gave a brief nod before she turned away and made her way past the vehicles to the supply cache. She paused again at the last vehicle...

“Makes my shoulder sore just looking at it, if I’m being honest” Rei said with a grin that lasted just as long as she looked Habiki’s way. “Excuse me, Mr Suden is a contractor, and he was hoping to take a look around to see if anything needed to be worked on.” At that the priest smiled. “Oh, is...

“Mm, I suppose that’s true enough.” Nessa said, resting the back of her head against the wall. Maybe it was the argument, maybe it was just the ring, but the fatigue lingered heavy on her shoulder. “I always thought as long as I just followed her orders, things would’ve worked themselves out in...

Oh, advanced healing, that was nice. The not working part probably wasn’t nice though and was most definitely her fault. Guilt dropped into the pit of her stomach, and Eli rocked on her heels just to put the energy somewhere. But, did you just like, tell other metas about what your power was...

“Forgive my failings, and give me grace when I misstep.” Nessa muttered as the clinic emptied itself out. She lingered on her space on the wall, eyes on the doorway as her lips pulled into a severe frown. Either way this thing blew, it didn’t seem like it would be going in Caleb’s favor, if the...

“Yeah, I’m uh, I’m good. It’s just jitters.” Ayla said as she fell into step behind Molt. Her fingers moved again to the various straps of her vest and holster as they were mentioned, though she kept her eyes forward. It would be really stupid if they got caught because she stepped on a branch...

If Emryk struck a chord, Nessa’s expression didn’t change, still, she didn’t offer any further fight. Perhaps it was too far out of either of their hands to really matter. Nessa sighed, and ran her hand through her hair. This was stupid, all of this was stupid. “Fine, Emryk. I’ll see —”” Nessa...

Hello

“Oh, and would Lucien’s crimes be lesser if he had a title to his name and soldiers to spill the blood for him?” Nessa said, her glare returning to Emryk, and holding firm there. After a moment she clicked her tongue. “Goddess fucking— fine. I said, I don’t trust King with that town any more...

A cool wind rolled through the streets, cutting through the haze of heat which clung close to the concrete, humid and thick. The city was slower here, the passing faces only sometimes stopping for a picture, though usually they hurried on moving to the parts of the city which hit their stride...

“Well, they had the vials we found buried with the, ehm, product, so I’m sure money played an important role.” Alya said. The idea of a drug that could cause PMPD was concerning, and maybe it was a touch naïve on her part to just assume money was the main reason. “Do… we know much about the...
