Naoki's AI Misadventure
He was eager with anticipation when he settled down in the conductor's chair. The machinery hummed to life with a start, the whir of fans bringing the tiniest breeze to the sweltering room. Overhead, the pipes pulsed, pulling liquid through purity...
Fire Back On Your Tongue
Hotstreak couldn't fucking believe it. The bang baby cure was all through the city, stealing away all their powers. Stealing _his_ powers. But he wasn't gonna take it, and he was a step ahead of everyone else. Ebon, that idiotic asshole, had gotten his...
Gangster Unicorns (pt 4)
It wasn't that far to Balio's office. Just two corridors over, and he didn't see anyone on the way there-- thankfully, given the state he was in. Honestly, with the way his day was going, if he had, no matter who, they'd probably have ended up fucking....
Gangster Unicorns (pt 3)
Sunder cursed and spat at Fahl's retreating back, but he just waved and left, his cock swinging heavily between his thighs as he strode out, his clothes dragging in one hand. Sunder kept cursing him for a good minute, until he figured he was probably...
Gangster Unicorns (pt 2)
By the time Sunder caught up with Balio on the road, they were past McNeil and almost to the main fork to Wyndia. Balio looked almost normal, and only his gaze, unswervingly focused forward, and his gait, stomping down with excessive force, belied his...
Gangster Unicorns (pt 1)
The room had to be somewhere in the attic, Sunder figured. He couldn't tell from the view outside, because there were _no windows_, but the air was stuffy and smelled of dust and mothballs. Even though it was a warm, pleasant summer day outside there...
The Guardians
They were deep in some ancient ruin-- Rei could never tell them apart; they all seemed to follow the same generic pattern to him-- when the thing jumped out at them. It was a weird-looking floating thing, with a single huge eyes-- whatever, he didn't...
Touch of Fire
Barret stood by the stairway railing and idly tapped his gun-arm against the railing. The hollow wooden clunk echoed through the room, and below him the innkeeper looked up and scowled. Barret sighed. He figured he should just go up to his room. He'd...
Interspecies Cooperation pt. 2
He'd been aching to get his hands on that jetboard ever since the mechanic in the stadium had made him do a trial run, and it was with childlike glee that he switched it on and kicked off from the Haven city walls. The smooth rise and fall of the board...
Interspecies Cooperation
Jak brought up his multigun just in time to catch the jaws of one of the Metal Heads. It slammed down on top of him, sending him rolling onto his back. It was heavy, and its slavering teeth were just an inch from his face. They dug into the metal of...
The Day the Earth Stood Furry
So I woke up absolutely sweltering. I'd gone to bed with just a single sheet, because it was the middle of summer and I couldn't really afford things like, you know, A/C, but I woke up fucking _wrapped_ in a fur rug or some shit. I've never been...
The Beach
So he runs into an eldrich horror at the cove. Like, there was that big storm a week ago, and it was just covered in driftwood and dead seaweed and rotting fish and chunks of purple rock, carved all over with sigils of languages no one could identify,...
