    Private Drums in the Deep

    Her gaze pierced the darkness where there were no sentient thoughts nor dreams floating, only to discover a wall of water, pressure waiting to drop. Lips pressed together, chromatophores danced on the pale cheeks and neck, enlarging and tinting it brownish-red, then cropping up magenta splotches...

    Open Turgor

    "So they do," the entity agreed, feet finding ground firmly. The grip on the weapon would not relent, not for now. A lilt of songbird like a laugh, not out loud, pure radiant sheen of humour in the air like a scent or a melody, glittering against perceptions like a babbling brook. "I have no...

    Private Drums in the Deep

    "Oh please," the not-elf waved in the air about her, as daintily as any lady. Perhaps she mirrored the mannerism from somewhere. "Anyone looking more unfamiliar than harmless - is a threat to a mind that forms opinion based on immediate impression rather than knowledge. Unfamiliar is always...

    Private Drums in the Deep

    A warble of a chuckle bubbled up in her throat, hum escaping along side it through slightly parted lips. "I don't imagine pulling ghostly giants out of your sleeve - or crushing worldly objects with an unnatural force - would be more comforting to a common person. Their lives are slow...

    Open Turgor

    "Lady..." hiss like the tremor of leaves in the breeze, carrying the scents. Carnage. Earth. Late-blooming apple trees. The cool stillness that was never truly still. A silhouette detached itself from beside the hill-giant, straightening from bent legs and nervous glances barely up to her...

    She felt fingers around the mustard-yellow sleeve. "Nothing broke. I just need to finish this and let Lock take over for a while." Gratitude rolled over in feeling rather than words, a chest-full of soft fuzzy warmth, come and gone in a few beats. She chuckled with him. "What is normal, between...

    “…Krava.” She watched, irises like huge green stones faceting some semblance of a lighter section in the middle. Watched his ears tilt backwards and lower, his pupils narrow half a hair's breadth; there was a reconfiguration in body heat output - hands growing cold and preservation instinct...

    Open Turgor

    tw: blood, gore, aliens music: Miquella's Promise by Solas Composer The grassy hill, the size of a carriage and then some, hummed low and arduous. A mournful sound, a painful sound, the wounded giant groaned, and shifted, shuddering and sending clumps of wettened fertile soil tumbling beneath...

    Private Drums in the Deep

    The churning rumble of waves laboring against the ship's hull grew. Though she could not feel the wind, the undercurrents, movement of the wave and agitation of the conscious beings occupying this half-dry delusion of a vessel made her own synapses fire off. Warning caution. Preceding survival...

    Dare Design Fallacies

    It was an interesting thing to observe to some, Krava mused. Her practicality seemed to have been taken much deeper, as rejection. She watched the exorcist struggle with an issue she requested aid with, not a single muscle moving on the face as he entered a full on panic meltdown. Like a child...

    Dare Design Fallacies

    No protest, the not-elf's spidery fingers wrapped around the glasses case. "My elder used things like that, for calculations," she murmured in agreement. It would probably make her head hurt to wear those for long, she mused, but at the same time - be a splendid augmentation. At least until...

    Dare Design Fallacies

    She inclined her head slightly. A small degree of that dignity flowed back into the tension of someone used to bracing for misfortune. "An intelligent choice. My help, and my Creed's gratitude, are yours." She watched the spirit-whisperer shed the coat, and wrap it around her shoulders, adding...

    Dare Design Fallacies

    "Krava'quiloor," she confirmed absentmindedly. A slightest shiver against the mind. A pressure dissipating. The full extent of meaning restrained. She glanced at the wall of the nearby building, almost as if looking through it. Such a noisy city, she was not a fan either. "I am not trying to...

    Dare Design Fallacies

    Eyes moved from the hands to the face. She didn't smile back, but a nod followed. "Very well." Shoulders lowered, somewhat, and hands wrapped around her gaunt form. "...oh, right. You can have these back." She exhaled, then seemed to ponder needing to unfold the warmth pocket created with her...

    Dare Design Fallacies

    Now that the threat seemed to be gone, eyes involuntarily flicked over to the tail, though it was hard to tell with how the creature's eyes were. Still, her head tilted slightly, the face turned that way, ever so slightly, as the not-elf seemed mesmerized by a fluffy cloud of fur drifting...

    Dare Design Fallacies

    "You have no use of those parts. I see." the not-elf echoed, deep in rumination. Her still bespectacled eyes seemed to turn to the spirit with a tilt of the head. "I'm not used to acknowledging the Shroud as separate from the world that I can touch... that I am blessed with dominion over, to an...

    Dare Design Fallacies

    "Ah. I understand. Worry not, to love the world is a delusion - we can only truly care for so many living beings. Breaking these chaotic things to establish your own order with their power at your side - is not a bad solution. Certainly more elegant than humans burning through the laborers of...

    Dare Design Fallacies

    Glasses twirled in the spidery fingers, the study of them taking a long moment before Krava put them on. Nothing like she'd seen, even though the elder did have visors to ease the Shroud perception. All inventions between the two of them. So many. Glanced over the shoulder, spotting these...

    Dare Design Fallacies

    She shrugged, not quite buying into the crestfallen look. Priorities. "For now, temporary will have to do. There is an immediate danger, and I am not going against the clock." But the cadence of the voice changed, more familiar to that, other, strange figure that did not look like a kindly...

    "Just what I told you we would be trying to do." For all the success he seemed to have just achieved, the man was anxious rather than curious once again. That answered that. "Fears have roots, roots are very primitive and need to be recognized. Then, an appropriate balance needs to be achieved."...
