Edugaytion Ch. 3 - Cramming
"What the hell, man? I thought we were going to hang out today!" "I know!" Quinn winced at the sharpness in Davis's voice. He couldn't blame the cat, though, it was his own fault. "I totally forgot, sorry...I'll make it up to you later, okay?" ...
A Long, Hard...Shift
_Mystic Aura Springs. Clean water, fresh air, and service with a smile. And I doubt anyone knows how fucking FORCED those smiles are sometimes._ Truthfully, Lyos had no clue how many smiles were forced. He just knew one was - his own. To many...
Edugaytion 4 - Public Rehearsal
"So, how are your studies going? I heard you got some halfway decent grades on your last math test." Travis let out a bit of a grunt. "It's...fine. I mean...I guess there's, uh...a lot to go, still. But my dad at least said I was on the right...
Commission: Roguish Charms Part 1
If there was one thing you could count on in a kingdom, it was that the castle stood over everything else. Even lesser nobles would usually have fairly grand castles, ones that you could see long before you caught sight of the places the peasants were...
A Really Big No-No
Have you ever Dynamaxed? I have. Maybe that's a weird question to ask - you might not even be a creature who CAN Dynamax. Which I guess could be pretty disappointing if you knew what you were missing. But we can't all experience everything in...
Cohabitation - March
"You're seriously off your game, man," grumbled Cayden before slugging down a shot of whiskey. "Two months and you haven't managed to bag your roomie. Maybe you're not as good at this as you used to be." "I'm just fuckin' fine at it," Jake growled...
A Good Substitute
It was a oft-repeated myth that Pokémon didn't like types they were strong against or weak against. The truth of the matter was that when it came to friendship, types were generally an afterthought. A Fire-Type wouldn't really have any trouble...
Cohabitation - February
Jake considered himself a reasonably smart person. Not genius-level, maybe, but still pretty far up there. His grades had always been solid, and he was pretty sure he had at least a decent level of 'street smarts' as well. So even though the question -...
Cohabitation - May
"I'm sorry that I didn't call to check in earlier. I really should have known it was another one of those episodes...especially right after I put you through so much overtime." It was odd seeing such a predatory creature seem so contrite, but Jake knew...
Commission: More Than One Way To Use Poké Balls
Though lively, the woods were typically a fairly quiet place overall. Even when there was some activity with an animal or a Pokémon or such, it was limited to one spot and one could easily avoid the epicenter. Loud cries typically got swallowed up in...
Cohabitation - June
"Are you sure?" "I couldn't be more sure if I tried." "I mean, it's already wickedly hot in here. At least at the beach there's some cool breeze going around." Lyle looked tiredly over at Jake; at least it was a look of pure concern, and not...
Cohabitation - October
"Cold" was not a phrase that could describe Pawnea's weather. At least, not by anyone who spent months in the icy northern winters, who would have laughed bitterly at the idea that 40s and 50s were at all frigid. But things were cooling off for sure as...
