Downed Prey (Welded Sunset)
~ The lumbering bulk of the bear frame bounded up to the treeline heavily, each footfall of the mech's pace seeming to shudder nearby trees from the roots up. The much more limber wolf frame paced in place anxiously, looking about across the clearing...
Flares Bells (Welded Sunset)
The dreams always seemed to be of happier times, a bit of serendipity that Reah was perpetually thankful for. Most often of the successes she'd pulled together for her captain, back when she was young and the war was old. They'd come to her during the...
Slice of Life (Otherwise Untitled)
~ Roland's shift at the theater had run into the early hours of morning, and the kobold looked forward to his quaint apartment a number of subway stops away. He settled into place while the subway car rumbled and jostled its way along the path, a...
Beagle's Orders (Otherwise Untitled)
~ The gathered fleet of Admiral Sligh hung in orbit over the old colony world, calm but for the flights of shuttles running circuits planetside to their frenzied evacuation of civilians below. Aboard his potmarked and tarnished flagship, Josiah Sligh...
Chilled Pug (Otherwise Untitled)
~ Carter scrambled out of the snow bank and up onto the more secure footing provided by the icy road's shoulder with a panic muted by the bitter cold. Clutching the drenched cloak about her shoulders, the pug spared a moment and a hope to glance back...
Bluejay's Wares (Otherwise Untitled)
~ The blue jay barely looked up from his book as he reclined in the cheap folding chair behind the table of baubles and wares. "That's a fusor coupling. Bent, but the metal's still good scrap if you want a wedding band on the cheap.", he volunteered to...
Unexpected Arrivals (Otherwise Untitled)

Offer Declined (Otherwise Untitled)
~ Captain DeCaro settled back into his chair as the rabbit returned to the table with a pair of drinks and a friendly smile. William smelled strongly of grease, surfactant, and cheap wine. This didn't bother the macaw, as there were not many aboard the...
Laid Back Road Trip (Untitled Otherwise)
~ Randy's gaze lingered between the battered boxes of their life packed away in the back of the station wagon, and the glimmer of the setting sun as the day's heat shimmered off of the parking lot. The kobold's thoughts were readily answered with...
Dusty Road Trip (Otherwise Untitled)
~ The skunk's motorcycle kept up its loud croon of a rumble as he made progress along what was left of the main roadway across the region. All in all, the trip had been going well so far. Though his saddle bags were nearly emptied of the nutri-bars,...
The Priest is Summoned (Otherwise Untitled)
~ The foundry was, as it was most any time of day, a place of heat and learning. The priests who worked here found a place where they could push themselves, the materials, and their faith to the limits. Priest Garmeny carefully navigated the compact...
Possum Laundry (Otherwise Untitled)
~ The possum paused in his transfer of clothes from washer to the basket, the sounds of the laundromat all around him. One red tinted sock. One perfectly blue tinted sock. Confusion was afoot, but the possum steeled himself to the task at hand. ~...
