Cold Fire Burns
I needed to chase after my things, but I couldn’t pull myself away from those eyes. The slim face that held them looked underfed and hollow. He winced as he moved away, but he never broke my gaze.
-
Slim Pickens
al’Zand hadn’t returned and Miranda was parched. She took a break, much to the house’s regret. The crowd spit and spewed words she dared not repeat — not from a lady. She scoffed in her mind.
-
Desperate Times
I was so tired. But the thought of running out of Tranquil drove me into the city and into the disparate locations where I might find a Boggle. In my mother’s prison, Boggle’s came to me. I might not be so lucky so far from the Leech. It felt less here, but when darkness descended…

Catch a Theif
The city was fabulous. I hadn’t found who I was looking for. But then I hadn’t even bothered to stop and ask either. The sun sank in the sky. The moon rose and the feeling of home settled upon the land. It was comforting in the grays and the despair from the Leech, while only…

Beautiful Creatures
The thief darted into the back halls and out into the alley behind the Inn. I followed at top speed, bouncing into the walls on a sharp corner, cracking whatever weakened rot fill board I’d landed against. “Fuck!”
-
Prestidigitation
Such a fool. Miranda watched al’Zand leave his post on the stage to chase after some ruffian. Things were replaceable. He had his lute, that’s all he needed. She’d miss the cute little outfits she’d brought, but some other person might love them more. Miranda kept all her prized possessions on her body at all…

Siren’s Call
It was probably best to find a room. The guild would provide for one, but Rosana hoped to not be in the area for long, find the kid with the recipe and be gone by nightfall. At least, that was the plan. Ashbourne was not a place she wanted to be.
-
Haunted One
It was so real. Like it was only yesterday when I opened my eyes and found the broken and bloodied body of my mother. The only person I knew in my entire life, and the woman who locked me up for my safety. At least that was what she said as she spat in my…

A Whole New World
This was a strange new world. The colors were so vibrant, yet the town’s folk he’d talk to said the opposite. Everything was so drab and boring. Back home there was no color, unless you counted shades of gray color.
-
Changeling
t wasn’t hard sneaking aboard the Cardiff. And it wasn’t hard changing my appearance as the days stayed off their stow away radar. I was just another crew member or a ghost they thought they saw.
-
Clever Girl
“I’ll miss you most.” she said, wrapping her arms around Captain Hellsway. He was a young sailor who inherited the ship from his father the only way pirates know how — by killing the man. It was over some treasure, but the men all knew the truth of the matter Senior Hellsway was getting too…
-
The Great Elovars
The boat finally docked and Else had closed her trap long enough for us to disembark The Cardiff, but that didn’t stop her from flirting with every sailor as we left. It had been a long trip, but she was at least decent company. Not that there weren’t a few attractive men to bed down…

The Goblin’s Notebook
AJ has been looking for a campaign manager for the DnD world she’s creating cause Dabble just isn’t cutting it for that. It is but it isn’t. AJ found The Goblin’s Notebook. She’s having fun with it. You can chain things together with relationships. There are quests and organizations, creatures and things and it’s all…

Get Cozy?
AJ was watching The Sandman this weekend, and a man who can’t die was truly impressed with Chimney’s. In the olden days of yore could you imagine all the ashes from the indoor fireplace? All the smoke? I don’t really think the next back story is something you are going to curl up around a…

Getting Closer
We have got the options available for each characters first scene, AJ just has to write them. So we’ll start with them on Monday. We will leave each one on a precarious ledge and you’ll help us decide which way to go. AJ has some thoughts on the way we’d like to go. But we…

Party of Five
We decided that in order to give enough time for voting AJ would put together a party of five characters. One for each weekday of the week. We will roll initiative at the start of each week to determine who goes first. ae’Nyx’s back story is complete. AJ’s going to work on al’Zand’s and the…

The Problem with Fantasy
So whenever AJ dips her toes into fantasy worlds we get stuck in this massive place of world building. It’s the number 1 reason why AJ uses the real world as a template for my stories. As a veteran of world building AJ knows that with less things to ‘make’ there is more time to…

A Direction
We have a new passion. We are on this kick about a choose your own adventure RPG type book. AJ has the first book in the Lonewolf series called Flight from the Dark. Her first read through she did in the opening hook of the book. That was fun. AJ’s working on writing a program…
-
New Platform
So AJ is retooling her platform again. I mentioned that yesterday. It’s not anything anyone would really notice, but AJ switched from Engage Bay to MailerLite for her email system. Mostly because that’s what they use at work, and it’s easier to use the same tools. But AJ learned all about edge computing through work…
