I woke up to the sound of pounding on my door. Not urgent pounding, granted, but someone wanted me to wake up. It was annoying and I tried to ignore it, but they were insistent and I eventually dragged myself out of bed, ignoring...

2023-06-13 20:54:41 +0000 UTC View PostThe owner of the Daylight Dreamer Inn was not what I expected. Though to be fair that was probably more my issue than his. He looked younger than I'd thought, but reconsidering Ascendants were almost always young looking, at leas...
2023-06-12 22:23:21 +0000 UTC View PostThere were training grounds on the guild premises, of course. I expected them to cost points, but from what I could tell, most of them didn’t. Cecily had led me here, seeming excited to hang out. I got the feeling she didn’t socialize much, an...
2023-06-12 18:41:12 +0000 UTC View PostHad some fun with this chapter, and I thought it was fun to subvert expectations here lol.

2023-06-11 22:09:44 +0000 UTC View PostWhen Zeke had mentioned the bazaar, I had assumed we would be attending some small gathering of stalls. Maybe some tents, a few blankets on the ground. The word invoked images of a temporary market that contained equally temporar...
2023-06-09 22:35:47 +0000 UTC View PostAfter I got back to the dorm I was torn on what to do. I’d learned a lot about myself, and about my mom, and my dad. Hell, I’d learned a lot about the world. All of that was kind of distant though. Sure, people who knew about my hybrid status ...
2023-06-09 21:26:38 +0000 UTC View PostThe next morning, we all got packed up, ready to leave and prepared to set off. Cass was sobbing uncontrollably, hugging each of us in turn and begging us not to go, and I wasn't the only one whose heart broke as the little girl ...

2023-06-08 21:01:28 +0000 UTC View PostA month. A month of wishes, a month of stat gains. Slow and steady, constantly trying to build up my friends. Benny and Jessie were both within reach of F-rank. With Jessie's regular income of Might from her bond with Randall, no...
2023-06-07 20:45:52 +0000 UTC View PostMy stomach was turning as I walked home. I didn’t know why. I had no reason to be afraid. I was just going to talk to my dad. But I had the most terrifying queasy feeling. Like something was going to end. Like something was going to be ruined. I...
2023-06-07 17:10:53 +0000 UTC View PostThe ceremony was held at the same arena as the finals. A huge luxurious building (without even the wear from the battle, which they had repaired) and pretty huge. Forty thousand people weren't enough to fill the place up, though ...

2023-06-05 21:47:33 +0000 UTC View PostI groaned as I walked into the Basic Hammering class. Weeks of training, constant practice, absurd amounts of money and so many crystals I was counting them in my dreams. I was now halfway into the first circle of Apprentice rank, and the going wa...
2023-06-05 20:45:56 +0000 UTC View PostI screwed up and posted this as a text file instead of the link, but since the links actually update fixes in real time I'm just replacing it.
Back to some old favorites, merges and fun business stuff for a bit. I had a ton of fun with this one.
2023-06-04 22:30:56 +0000 UTC View PostIt took me almost no time to figure out what that mask did from context. Illusions, obviously. But despite knowing that I also knew I had no chance of piercing through them. No one here did. Trying to bypass B-rank perception wou...
2023-06-02 21:49:11 +0000 UTC View PostGetting through my next day’s classes was annoying and tedious, but I managed. I paid special attention to the glares, and as I expected the students with the most powerful families seemed to feel the most antipathy toward me for whatever reason...
2023-06-02 21:47:22 +0000 UTC View Post"You have a lot of guts coming here like this." With the words came a tide of power, pushing back the aura of the two B-rankers through his own and with sheer force of personality. Zeke wasn't worried at all, and it showed in the...
2023-06-01 21:53:48 +0000 UTC View PostThis one was tricky. Trying to let Nicky grow a bit after his session with Ingrid without losing his vibe. I think I balanced it pretty well, but let me know what you think.
Roland Wilder, the man known as the Walking War, was every bit as terrifying as his moniker suggested. While Firn battled with the Hyde (who was managing to just barely degrade her permafrost with his dark energy, and then using ...
2023-05-31 20:42:51 +0000 UTC View Post“Son of a bitch!” I snarled, hurling the metal frame of my knitting project across the room after the yarn burned up for the hundredth time. Turning to glare at my roommate, who was trying not to smirk, I pointed furiously at the still smolder...
2023-05-31 18:26:08 +0000 UTC View PostThree days of downtime passed far more quietly than expected. Granted, it wasn't my downtime, it was Abel's, but still I'd figured I'd be more nervous about the last round. My odd sense of peace continued until the last minute th...
2023-05-30 23:04:48 +0000 UTC View PostSome politics and subterfuge, something the story has been lacking for a while lol
By the time we got home, Zeke was already there. He always beat us back, which was fine, but I had other things to address. Questions for Abel, more specifically. "Ok." I said heatedly. "What the actual fuck was that? I mean cong...
2023-05-29 22:24:38 +0000 UTC View PostOne of the things I was going to miss about having time to myself was sleeping in. I didn’t always do it, but I always had the option. Somehow, I was less tired when I woke up naturally, as opposed to being woken forcibly.

2023-05-28 23:53:19 +0000 UTC View PostNew chapter up. Had some fun with this. Going for an Eyes Wide Shut vibe, which is tough since I never saw Eyes Wide Shut, but the general debauchery is there for this party. It's a fun way to get Nicky back to his roots, and some of the things pe...
