Light, buildings, machines…everything the small dragon-like creature saw perked his interest. If it wasn’t for the strong grip the scout of this new island he probably would’ve already escaped from their arms and wandered off somewhere to try and find out how things worked. Being locked in a...

Claudia Winchester was in a bit of a dilemma. Someone had answered the roommate ad she'd posted online. Okay, that wasn't the worst part--what was worrying her was actually meeting the stranger. Sort of. It was complicated. Okay, maybe not really, but it was complicated to her and she was...

Things were, in the very least, beginning to sink in. Dante was still trying to acclimatize to his new environment, the people here were truly unlike any that he'd seen before. While the initial reveal that magic was in fact real had sunk in years ago, the fact that there were other people...

Clement was at the Forbidden Zone a good half hour before he was supposed to. He needed to be. He had apologised far too many times already to the owner about losing him an employee. But he also wanted to get a nice booth away from the main crowds. He was dressed his best and I'm his human form...

Right, all setup. Admittedly, Marcus was a little-No, wait, Very Excited. Maybe it was this that made him go all out, but in his opinion, its the first meeting for his very own club, so it needed to be perfect. And hopefully, it was. It was a struggle at first to get this unused Computer Lab...

Claudia Winchester held the strap of her bag in a death grip as she stared up at the front of Club Orpheus, her eyes wide and her legs feeling just a little like jelly. Maybe a lot like jelly. She had to make sure they were even still attached to her as she approached the door and reached for...

It was time for a talk. Angelo was not the kind of person who relished talks. He chose to avoid them as much as possible. Really, in many ways Angelo actively went out of his way to avoid putting himself in situations where he might have to give a talk, because he felt so terribly out of place...

If it were him, Damien thought, he would never have gotten the thick book he held now, with its slightly yellowing pages and cracking spine. It smelled okay, as far as he was concerned...it was just so outdated. Primitive even, to him. If it were himself he was buying the gift for, it wouldn't...

There he was... Standing in his own classroom for once. Last he remembered, at least that is something he can remember well, he has been a student here. This time, it would be him behind the desk, teaching the new generation his magic. After he put up his ad on a board he did not expect anyone...

As the saying went, those in glass houses should not throw stones. It was a good moral, a good idea. Sort of like a secular let he who is without sin cast the first stone, only less extreme. Don't be a hypocrite, and all that. Angelo felt like a hypocrite. There was really no way to not feel...

Hanako was excited... so excited that they had been wearing their Kitsume mask the entire time she has been floating behind the one whom introduced themselves at Oluremi. Hanako was unsure of what to make of Oluremi whom was not like any Yokai they knew... or even if they are a Yokai to begin...

After her few encounters with Charlie Rotmoore, Béatrice knew she would have to have a private chat with him. He was a man of mystery and adventure, intriguing the curious oricenta. What interested her more was his exceptional ability at controlling corpses. This might have been her chance to...

It had been a few months now since Edward had accepted Nessie's proposal to move in with her. They'd been seeing each other rather seriously, so it only made sense that they start living together. If Fae could love, she would certainly love him; what she felt for Edward was more than what she...

Finally, Béatrice got time to spend with Sean. They hung out with each other a few times before, but it was often interrupted or cut short by one of them being busy with other things. Most of the time it was her. It was difficult running a family, being up-to-date with work, and having enough...

The new moon had passed and full moon River was back and on a mission. He wasn't exactly a different person each phase, though anyone who knew him in both would see the personality shift, but it was a noticeable transformation. And there was really no way anyone would know his female and male...

What does the Hooded Man do when he's not tormenting people and in general being utterly terrifying? Oh a dozen or so rumors and stories have spread about who he was behind the hood, none of which came near the truth. The truth was Jason's life outside the murder was rather mundane, he had his...

The full moon was finally here. His first full moon on Manta Carlos, and River was at his peak. He could almost feel his attraction aura working, but that might've been due to the fact that he'd been consistently drugging himself since he'd gotten into the forest. Probably not the best idea...

His ears twitched as he heard the crackle of fire works. The young cat-shifter had been walking outside, a quiet day, his nose twitched and he followed the scent of smoke. Curiosity killed the cat, but Edward was ignoring the old say. As he reached the source, he tilted his head curiously at...

Valli wasn't really sure if it was appropriate to ask for personal advice from a fellow teacher, but he had close to no personal resources to reach out to, and wasn't philosophy the core of things? Really, all his problems could be dragged back to that, and he really needed advice. Maybe...

School, it'd been a long time sense he'd gone to school, it was odd. His ears and nose twitched as they were filled with sounds and smells. It was all new, things and he'd never seen before. The bell rung the day was over, he rose from his seat, his face looking slightly depressed as usual...
