Narimasa stopped in his box, swivelling to meet Illya’s gaze. “Your team, Lady Einzbern… I can tell you did not structure them to bring Dragons low. But your team is made up of latent dragonslayers. You hold an advantage that, against a lesser challenge, would trivialize this fight.” He withdrew his first ball from his belt. “Let us see if you are prepared for that advantage to be mit...
2025-03-02 00:24:52 +0000 UTC View PostThe blaring of alarms, their shrill cries drilling into my ears with the force of a sledgehammer, was the first warning that something was wrong. The thin keening sound that I couldn’t quite place that followed immediately afterward was my second.
The image that popped up in the Master Control Center’s core was all that I needed to know to upgrade this invasion to a potential...
2025-03-01 20:51:22 +0000 UTC View PostShirou pulled on his jacket, looking across at his now four-mon team. “Alright… we’re going to fight a Gym leader who’ll likely outclass us. We’ve trained hard, but this’ll be our toughest fight yet,” he said firmly. “That being said… Vulpix, will you be participating here?” he asked. On the one hand, her help would be very valuable, on the other… well, she was a new teamm...

23:44:59 System Time
Vague memories had led me to Herta Space Station two cycles ago. Floundering after the death of someone that I’d come to care for immensely, I had chartered a voyage to The Blue in an effort to shake myself out of the funk I had found herself in. In a twist of luck, it worked. It had taken me out of...
2025-02-06 18:49:57 +0000 UTC View PostSakura studied the map Other had sketched into the sand between their feet. “This is big,” she said simply. “I thought this was just a few raiders, not a major group.”
From her vantage point out of Rin’s device, Captain Bles pursed her lips. “It doesn’t match the number of local raids either, but the descriptions of the human captives clued me in. This must be a distribu...
2025-02-02 00:11:16 +0000 UTC View PostRin pushed up her witch’s hat, glaring out over the dunes stretching before them, her mount shuffling beneath her. “...Sakura, why is there a desert in the middle of a temperate peninsula?” she asked grouchily, sweat beading on her forehead. Her sister, predictably, frowned, and shook her head,
“Don’t ask me. You’re the one that’s good at research.” She paused for a moment...
2025-01-16 03:55:32 +0000 UTC View PostIllya looked up the hill, shading her eyes in the dawn light. “Brava Arena?” she asked, looking up the stairs with some trepidation. “I thought Lady Lilligant was going to do something… special.”
“Every trial is special. More seriously, she eventually decided if you came early, you’d get to see her Sun Praise exercises, and then have the battle,” Otoshi responded blandly. ...
2025-01-04 00:18:24 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone! I'd like to apologize for now having the next update for Eevee Therapy ready quite yet. As mentioned in the discord, the chapter is completed as of now. However, it has not been edited, and it has been made clear to both me and Tale that we definitely need to edit our chapters before publishing them, because we've missed quite a few things we shouldn't have in the past.

2025-01-02 04:43:36 +0000 UTC View PostVulpix nosed aside a curtain of hanging vines, closely followed by three humans and their Pokemon companions. “And here’s the path. Why you all thought it was best to go overland to reach Adamant Town, I’ll never know.”
Illya frowned. “I thought this was the Diamond Clan village?” She asked, looking up the steep cliffs visible in the near distance. A collection of hou...
2024-12-15 23:34:39 +0000 UTC View PostShirou stabbed the butt of his naginata into the peaty soil, sighing as it drove in several centimeters. “This spot’s still too soft to set up a campsite. We’ll need to keep looking.” He said, glancing around the area as the shadows continued to lengthen. The siblings had been travelling through the mirelands for a while now, and the unpleasantness of the area was starting to get to the...

To say her meeting with the Shaymin had gone well would be a minor understatement. Not everyone came away from meeting Legendary ...
2024-11-16 00:08:56 +0000 UTC View PostIsabella looked up from her phone, peering over at the rest of her group as they started breaking down camp. “Hey, everyone. I just heard from Donovan. The Pearl clan’s given up on tailing you two, so he’s just going to be doing his own thing and checking in on occasion.”
Fafnir looked up from where she was carefully folding the latrine into the ground. “Who’s Donovan?” ...

Brockton General was a massive thing, a multi storey block of concrete rising as tall as some of the surrounding apartment and corporate buildings of Downtown. There were no unnecessary windows, no fancy architecture. It w...
2024-10-25 20:46:20 +0000 UTC View Post“Well, that was an experience.” Shèn chuckled wryly, the shake of her head working down her neck sinuously as they walked back to the van. Not every day you flushed someone’s body from twelve years of substance abuse, regrew all their teeth and half a head of hair, then got your ribs compressed by a very thankful ex-junkie in the span of twenty or so minutes. At least the yellow...

Kiritsugu was looking out the window of their car as it rolled through the near-pastoral landscape, cutting over rivers and between low mountains. “Do you wish you could’ve stayed longer? I’m sure Looker could’ve given us a few more days.”
“I ...
2024-10-16 00:22:57 +0000 UTC View Post“There, that should help.” Shèn sighed as she scratched the chin of a little green autism creature, the foxcat purring happily. Wind walls were good at dampening sound and since she’d gotten them tested and had some troopers around there was pretty much no legal issues plopping one down around this little private booth. She’d had to wait for their orders to be delivered of course, but ...
2024-10-09 23:32:25 +0000 UTC View Post“Miho, my partner, my friend, my buddy. I mean this in the nicest possible way.” Shèn said through hands pressed flat together. “What the hell.”
She’d come to say hello to her friend after sleeping in until ten in the morning. She’d been promptly punched in the nose by a full on eastern feast. Salmon, miso and curry were the only things she could make thro...
2024-10-02 18:08:57 +0000 UTC View PostRin frowned as they walked down the busy street, dodging pedestrians and Pokemon as they made their way towards the Castelia Gym. “While I didn’t like the atmosphere when the gangs were still around, these crowds are horrible,” she groused. Beside her, N nodded, Noibat angrily squeaking at anyone who tried to bump the small boy.
“I don’t mind them,” Sakura shrugged,...
2024-10-01 23:08:06 +0000 UTC View Post“Well, at least that took long enough we won’t be playing day drinker.” Shèn sighed, running Physik’s green light over her wrist and fingers as they finally, finally walked out of PRT HQ. Between finishing the tests, getting all the paperwork looked over by a lawyer and signing everything, the sun was starting to set already. At least the sky had cleared up by ...
2024-09-26 14:45:06 +0000 UTC View Post“Well, it is a full meal.” Shèn said diplomatically, like she hadn’t just dealt with the maliciously crumbly shell of these sorry excuses for tacos by opening her mouth like a snake and shoving them in whole, “The rice was nice, at least.”
“At least we’re not sitting in hardlight chairs.” Miho allowed, grimacing as she bit into another taco after pic...
2024-09-18 21:28:40 +0000 UTC View PostRin watched as Agate and Ren loped away from their park bench, the girl smiling briefly before she turned her attention back to the email she’d been sent. After a few minutes, she frowned. “Sakura, our partners are really only two months old, yes?”
“I’m not entirely sure.” Sakura shook her head, humming in amusement as she stared in the direction their starters had gone, “Gi...
2024-09-15 23:13:15 +0000 UTC View PostShèn’s estimation of the PRT was picking up steadily. They had not only treated them professionally, but some had gone as far as to commend them for their actions. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the poor bloody infantry valued civilian lives over villain arrests. Not that it’d stopped them from carting all the hostages into transport vans, once a few nervously mentioned being able to think cleare...

2024-08-27 13:09:21 +0000 UTC View PostHow one responds to mind-numbing terror can be quite indicative of their character. There was only one thought in Shèn’s skull when every fear chemical her body could produce flooded her system, making it feel like she was standing inches away from a monstrosity, a negligent twitch away from leaving her to drown in her own blood.
Protect the others.
It had not even been a minute since the door shut behind the villain duo, Miho and Shen just barely able to pick up the exchange occurring just beyond the boundaries set by the glass door. Neither the rain nor the rising murmurs of the crowd were helping. Seeing outside was also a struggle because Skitter was keeping most of her bugs under the bank’s eave, soggy wings were clearly something o...

Oblivious to the actual reason for his relief, Isabella chuckled. “Yeah, it’s always nice to get back to civilization after a long trek. Though I gotta say your meals make it a lot nicer to camp out.”
