    Private A shallows, a secret

    A thump. Thuds and smacks. Wallops that sank past flesh and straight to bone and knocked the beast that had once been Param into the sand and spray with a hard crash. Made him hiss and yowl the louder and more pathetic. The last wailings of a desperation gone dry. Like a thing about to die...

    Private A shallows, a secret

    Claws raked across side of face. A flurry of swipes as fur and skin gave way to keratin sharpness and enameled point in bits and chunks of tuft. Gold trailed and ran in ribbons and traces across black and silvered pelts that came apart with a kick that slammed into the new Beast's gut. Organs...

    A rearing up, claws swiped rampant in poor defense. Delilah was bigger. Delilah was stronger. Delilah knew how to fight. Her heavy paws smacked across ear, and jaw like clubs. Knocked the sense of pain and hurt into the newborn Beast. It doubled back quick, lashed out with claw and teeth...

    Against the sands Beast landed with scrape and spill. Water and earth sprayed up in curtains that shimmered and mucked, as eyes beneath pressed brows were wild with bloody intent. Ears back, teeth bared. The low rumble poured out of thick fur twitching throat. Whole frame coiled low and ready...

    Teeth sank into wet flesh. Claws raked open scale with pops and tears that set glittering shards dashed red to scatter across the stained sands. Wash the waves in hiss. Snarl and rip with jaws-a-crunch. Red, ironfull, rust-tanged and warm, full against black coat and stained unto ivory fangs...

    Prompt Trouble Calls

    A gentle nod to the lady mercenary. "You've my thanks," he said with a playful raise of the cup. Near empty, he left the last bit of drink there in. Gave it a swirl. Some of his aches still hurt, and some of his hurts still ached. But this was nice enough. Minus the shatter and mess. "Hmm?"...

    Prompt Trouble Calls

    Param watched as her eyes seemed to go far and away at the mention of home. A glimmer of hurt there in the sheen of them. "The way'n you tell the tale," he let on as he shift back in his seat. Glass full of sweet poison. "Can see myself bakin under that southern sun," a toothy smile. "Almost...

    A scramble up the dunes. All claw and quick flex. Tail set long behind him to help catch his balance with each dig and slip. Pressed flat against the sliced bar, sheet of ice-thin glass cracked and crumbled there beneath their weight. It made the sun feel all the hotter. All points and jagged...

    Open Catch a Ride: South Ilica, Harbor Village of Cisne

    There was something about the gleam of Aktan's eye that hinted that he rather liked seeing Mister Vorsten so worked up and bothered. Much the way the plump bastard seemed to fancy sitting in his chair, staring across the way when real orders were being barked. Call for adjustments in power and...

    Private Catch a Ride: Crorefell to Crown's Hold

    "So you see, as the shroud intersperses through the air, the runes-" Mister Cromherr went on. Param's eyes went wide. "Starboard bow!" he shout, a finger jabbed out to point at someone, climbing over the gunwales, near the prow of the ship. Mister Cromherr turned his attention there, thusly...

    Private Catch a Ride: Crorefell to Crown's Hold

    T'was a fine as day as any for sky-sailing , and the Narcisca hummed along, steady as she was so prone to doing. It was the third day of their five day voyage, and so far, things were smooth sailing as they flew over the valleys of Altalusia proper. A few guests, and a full load of cargo logged...

    Private Upon Hired Wings

    The young deva couldn't help but smile at the honeyed words that had met him. Nor the warm gaze the color of most welcoming earth. The sort that sank into your bones with its comfort, and reminded you of summer days amidst rolling hills, far as the eye could see. Their mere memory, enough to...

    Open Catch a Ride: South Ilica, Harbor Village of Cisne

    Mr Aktan cocked his head at the wind caller. Unsure exactly how she'd gotten the drop on him. He cleared his throat and seemed to almost preen as his feathers flared the wider, and head ticked and tocked left then right then left in a shake of his beak. "I've not the slightest what she means,"...

    The drink had sagged in Param's hand. The fine blue bottle, refracted and warped all the world that passed through its sea colored glass. Doubly so as the the clear spirit inside shift and wobbled until it settled again. Half caught between smile and utter confusion. Did he want off the ship...

    At the compliment, he smiled the wider. Head craned one side, then the other, a thumb come up to swipe at his nose as his teeth showed through the pleased of it all. "Pay's for a pilot to pay attention is all," he said easy, and nod whence she gave him the true and narrow of it. A Ritual...

    Private Upon Hired Wings

    Sailor born, Param was no stranger to being sized up. From captains, to crewmates, to the docksiders who took an interest to him, the young man had become all to comfortable under scrutiny and attentions of all sorts. Still, he could not help but feel ensnared by the Dancer's gaze. His long tail...

    Private A shallows, a secret

    Heart half in his throat, Param pant, pant, pant as he laid back unto the sand. The world's colors coming back to be as that horrid wave went off. Wherever it was that such things went. A touch at his shoulder pulled him out of the wide eyed stare. Brought him back to the strange stink of that...

    "He is a client," the captain corrected. "But no, weathervane, as you say, he is not the client," Param frowned at that. "Captain, its not-" Etoile moved away, as if a cloud carried by the wind. Ever laden with the promise of a storm, just behind the gentle curves of white and...

    Private So Say the Stars

    "Oh, raw fish, huh?" he mulled that one over. "Didn't ever think that was a specialty," though part of the beauty of being Kharsagan was the bounty of cultures that mix aboard the flotilla. Peoples from every part of the world made harbor upon its shifting decks. "Mr. Alengiri knew how to cut...

    Hand left up pre-knock, lips caught in a surprised o, Param stared a moment at the passenger, positively struck by the depth of her gaze. "Well," he remembered to breath. Smiled his sharp toothed smile, and snapped a half step back away from the door. His hands tugged at the hem of his robes...
