The room was smelly. Jake had always thought that word came off wrong. If something was tasty it was usually considered a good thing, wasn't it? Why was it that if something was smelly it was generally considered bad? He didn't mind the smells, regardless of what other people thought of...

@import url(https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Cormorant); "Oh, wow." That was a very impressive dead tree. David already liked dead trees, but this was a really big one. From the looks of it, it had been dead for a while, too, which meant plenty of time for things to start carving...

@import url(https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Iceberg&display=swap) @import url(https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Michroma&display=swap) Transformer felt the impact of whatever it was the Paint Hero had thrown at the goo when it hit her metal wall, and winced -...

Name: Rin Anseng Race: Human From: Lone-Hill, lately Age: 37 Bio: It's an open secret that Rin used to be part of the Iron Guard. Even if it weren't, it would be easy enough to guess, because that's about the only place that a person could get a body like hers - or, more specifically, like...

Name: Jake. Rumors say it's more complicated, "Jakyrius Tirnagail Everarch III" or something like that, but who listens to rumors? They're probably wrong. His nametag says "Jake." Race: A subject of some debate. If one took the skin of a bearded dragon and stretched it over a monkey's frame...

Something was... changing. Karen could feel it, feel the shift, and so she did the unthinkable and wrenched her gaze away from Monarch, towards the source of the sound, the ringing cry of- -She didn't know. Not yet. But she would, soon, because it was coming closer, vast, unknown, screeching...

@import url(https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Cormorant); The log fell into the river and sunk, much like David's hope of getting out of this one easily. He raised a hand to shade his eyes, watching it as it bobbed up a time or two, floating off down the river, presumably on to better -...

@import url(https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Cormorant); "Oliverrr." It wasn't quite a whisper, and it wasn't sibilant enough to be a hiss - no, it was just sibling, the long-exasperated tone: hushed, petulant, maybe just a little bit whiny. David was trying to grow out of whiny, but...

@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Cormorant'); Faith, for me, has always been a very lost and found thing. It started early, as it always does - playground questions, not so innocent: Do you believe in God? My family was not particularly prone to religion, and I did not...

@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Cormorant'); Color Text and a test of some text.

Oh. So that was the nature of the trap. Karen tilted her head, ever so slightly, as if this new angle would bring things into better clarity - but no, she didn't need it, because she thought she could see things fairly well. Is there something you would like in return - she could have asked...

@import url(https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Iceberg&display=swap) @import url(https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Michroma&display=swap) "Are you ready for this?" Truthfully, Tavy Piper wasn't sure. There were a lot of things that could go wrong, and there was...

Whatever Rei was doing was unfathomable, but Habiki was well aware that most jobs were like that, for the people who didn't do them regularly. For whatever reason she had come up with, apparently she wanted the quick repair rather than the best practice variant. Once she mentioned Kasumi...

Very well, then. She was to be just 'Ira.' It had been a research question, as they all were, of course. Dr. Seimar had been curious if there was another form of address she might use, or whether she tied different nomenclatures to different situations. The lack of change was also an answer...

Well. SHE definitely didn't like that Nic wasn't willing to just go along with the whole sight thing without restrictions. It wasn't that he couldn't see HER point, sure, he'd probably be kinda annoyed as well if the person he were dating didn't trust him, but also, this was pretty much a...
