“How do you know him?” Nathair asked with a clearly strained cool-headedness. His mood had changed rather quickly at the mention of Alessio.

Ah yes, we’re getting answers now. “Well, that is a long story. I hope you love long, boring tales.”

Exploding flash powder, Arsene drew up his best dramatic voice. “Once upon a time, there was a cun…[Read more]

“You suppose, Old Snake?” Nathair gritted his teeth. Of course, of course!! He should’ve changed his name… “Would that imply you don’t remember your name?”

Smarty Mouth was almost as bad as Alessio. He should be used to it by now.

“Well, since you can’t clearly remember your name,” Arsene ran over before Nathair could retort anything. “you woul…[Read more]

“Nathair, I suppose.”

Nathair, as in snake? Really? Well, serpent in other translations.

Wait, didn’t Alessio mention that name before knocking Arsene out. Now why would that name mean anything? Unless this man knew something. “You suppose, Old Snake? Would that imply you don’t remember your name?”

Before Nathair could answer, Arsene int…[Read more]

“Old gray man, my name is Arsene Lupin.” Well, I suppose ‘old gray man’ is better than ‘snake’. “Here’s my card.”

With a flourish, he handed Nathair a card. He raised his eyebrow and glanced down at the item. And then back at Arsene with a further raised eyebrow.

“Pardon me, that’s the wrong one.” He said yanking at his odd pouch. “Pardon me o…[Read more]

“Were you going for a style of every timeperiod, fashion and color there?” Ah yes, a man of sarcasm.

Well, at least he had style. Giving a bow for his audience, Arsene formed a wide grin on his face, before calmly answering. “Why I live for the chaos and inconsistency!”

“And you’ll die for it I’m sure.” The man announced his observation wit…[Read more]

Nathair sat up and rubbed his head. Devils, that was blow – good thing he’s in one piece…hypothetically speaking.

At least nothing seemed to be broken except his pride and perhaps a couple braincells.

The only real issue now was…this was not where he fell unconscious. This was a completely different area leading him to conclude one of two thi…[Read more]

When Arsene was clobbered by Alessio, he fell on the floor, busting his head on the magnificent tile. Then, he wasn’t in the apartment anymore. He was now in a strange, new world. It seemed to be a cave, but there were marvelous silver pillars carved in the walls. There were many symbols the thief didn’t recognize, but there were marks he was…[Read more]

“ARGH! You…” Burn spluttered. “Were you dropped on your head too many times falling through holes in reality? And maybe keep that part down. Otherwise people will think you’re crazy.”

Caleb quickly looked at his drink. He had stepped in it now. Burn took a sip.

“Hey Ax-Punk. Did we land in your reality this time?”

“Pardon?”

Caleb didn’t quit…[Read more]

EVE:

The world was spinning and slowly collapsing, and yet, a voice came and shattered that silence.

“Hello, I’m Conroy. What’s your name?”

I looked over my shoulder, pursing my lips as I turned to face the young man. I really was not in the mood for socialising, but I said anyway, “My name is Eve.”

“Huh, oh, oh, nice.” Conroy seem…[Read more]

I’m up for it too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Leana’s eyes bugged when she saw the man, the knife. He disappeared as quickly as he’d appeared.

She really wanted to curl into a ball and cry. But no more of that… Leana wiped her eyes with her hands, pulled back her shoulders, glad she had her back against something solid, and looked up at the woman curiously… Not sure what to say or do. Whe…[Read more]

Kit:

Are future timelines set in stone, or do they change depending on choices we make?

See, if I went ahead and told Val that my future self said I’d marry her, that’d probably ruin any chance I ever had with her to begin with.  But, if it’s set in stone, then I can just say whatever I want and I’ll marry her anyways…not that I’d…[Read more]

@rose-colored-fancy

Oh, good XD

*chokes on tea* Yes, this! 😂

That’s so sad. If Mara knew, she’d talk to him anyway 😢

@inkhorn

Thank you! Fun fact: that’s actually my hand in the picture XD It pays to work at a photo studio; I got to do an (medieval themed!) author photo shoot. And I think that particular picture is actually a happy…[Read more]

“Calix!” a woman screams from behind me.

I leap back, pressing myself into a dark corner. I like dark corners.

The lady stands only a few feet away. She looks really sad like she’s about to cry. She’s staring after a guy who’s running away, but she doesn’t move.

I scrunch up my face. Weird. But this entire place was weird, so it wasn’t…[Read more]

@mamaauthoress

I’d love to! Eve will likely still be near the entrance, and I’m gonna write a thing with Calix here, so you can interact with either one of them!

Great! I’ll whip up post here shortly.

@e-nleonard

I just had to mention how much I LOVE your profile picture! The quill is especially lovely. 🙂

@e-n-leonard

You absolutely nailed Frey, I laughed out loud reading that because it’s exactly the kind of cryptic nonsense he’d find amusing!

Frey

”Mara Gobey-Hanad.” She tosses her head back, the frown still between her brows. She throws the next question at me, “Is this not a dream?”

I mostly said the dream part to start the conversat…[Read more]

He clapped a hand over his eye reflexively, expecting hot, inky blood. His whole body shuddered up and down with every gulp for air. He was hyperventilating. He couldn’t make it stop. Pain exploded inside like his lungs cracked and air was leaking in and out holes in his ribs. It’s fine it’s fine this isn’t the first time it’s happened it’ll go…[Read more]

*Me, reading the update: Oh no, Alessio is having a nightmare. *Sob.*

*Me, continues reading: NOOOO ALESSIO!!!! DON’T PICK UP THE DOLL!!!!! *Screams* I’m done.*

Arsene had decided to walk back to the others, planning heists for another day. That’s when he heard the scream.

Alessio! I shouldn’t have left him alone! 

Without a second…[Read more]

Mara

The man took a moment before he relaxed and smiled. “I’m Frey. I thought you were a part of whatever dream this is at first.”

He laughs, and I frown. So this isn’t a dream, then? Frey’s next question came too fast for me to ask that one.

”What’s your name?” The wheelchair creaks the tiniest bit as he leans forward for my reply.

”Mara G…[Read more]

“I’m awake I’m awake…” He grumbled, jerking up in a cold sweat. Some stupid noise woke him probably but it was all still hazy.

He crawled to his feet, rolling out of bed.

No walls – not solid ones at least. Just solid, blurry grey and blue lights. Blue light foxfire, shimmering softly. Everything so quiet, other than a soft hum like those cute,…[Read more]
