Simple countdowns
"Okay, then. What are we betting?" Airis looked back at the blue tiger sitting in front of him, whose tail was wagging back and forth excitedly. He couldn't help but smile at the feline's obvious enthusiasm, even though he was supposed to not let...
Silence in the library
I try not to yawn and fail miserably. Monday evenings are easily the most boring shift I've ever worked and somehow it always ends up assigned to me. It's not too surprising - I'm still young and inexperienced enough that the other librarian,...
Completely normal conversations (collab with Refireset)
The pocketwatch had begun swinging in front of Kenan long ago. Maybe even hours - hours of wide, shiny arcs being drawn in the air, back and forth, right in front of his eyes. At this point, the only thing that was close to making the red...
February 6th
The gloomy corridor in front of me seems to extend further and further, getting me deeper into the building. I walk past the row of faceless statues without even looking at them, my eyes always staring forward, forward. There's a broken window...
The Sorcerer's Apprentice (commission for Kingpanther)
"I'm telling you. The materials you're requesting are way beyond your level. They can't just be used by anybody. We don't work like that in this place." "And I'm telling you, I don't care. I have a high-skill certificate issued by the Archmage himself...
A (second) cup of coffee with the therapist
Fosk still had time to check the crumpled list he held in his paw one more time before he rang the doorbell, slightly less nervous than the last time he had stood there. At least, he told himself, this time he was completely dry. That week had passed...
Some cleaning to do (commission for Okamis)
Usednapkins piled up right onthe only part of the wooden table that wasn't covered by the colorful paper tablecloth. Plastic cups spread randomly throughout the whole room. Some of them on the same table, others under the chairs, and some even knocked...
Feathers
The air around was weird. Kind of heavy... no, heavy wasn't quite the word. It was almost like walking underwater, as if there was something thick, dense, warm around him. And inside his head, too. Dripping with every step, falling down his body...
A (third) cup of coffee with the therapist
Kenneth liked having a certain sense of control over several things. One of them was, of course, his own business. It had been difficult to set himself up as that particular kind of therapist and he hadn't always been free from judgment. The white...
Upside down
It was one of the hottest summer nights Nathan remembered having lived. During the past few days, he had been walking around at home with no shirt, trying to escape the merciless heat that seemed to have taken over everything. Whenever night came and...
A (?????) cup of coffee with the therapist
"I must say," Fosk admitted, once he took a seat on his couch "that you got me pretty excited last week with that whole 'next session will be a blast' thing. I've been wondering what you meant for days." Kenneth gave him a wide grin, his tail...
The explorer with dazzling paws (commission for Director14)
There were many abandoned places in the Southern region, places that made adventurers from all over the world sigh and dream and hurry to get plane tickets before they got expensive. It was the perfect region for exploring and it certainly had a...
