And here we are, in a gorgeous garden, where all the trees have turned and set fire to their leaves. It's almost a perfect picturesque image of fall, with the fallen colors littering the ground, cast in golden light from the sun on this clear day. But here in this garden is a very unhappy looking man who's kicking at the leaves as he walks along. ( Read more... )

[ Well. This was...a mildly remarkable occurrence, even by his standards. One moment he's enjoying a leisurely morning walk around the block, and the next ( Read more... )

This... was not the captain's office.

Hand hanging uselessly in the air where a doorknob should have been, Aphrim looked up from the sheaf of papers in his other hand and stared in blank confusion at his unfamiliar surroundings. Gone were the drab gray walls of the precinct and the distinct smell of something faintly resembling piss. Instead, they ( Read more... )

The first thing that came to mind was that she was warm. The teenage girl frowned and squinted when she opened her eyes, an arm lifted to shield them from the bright sun as she sat up. Where was she? The last thing she remembered was sleeping in her own bed... And then, she was here, sleeping under a tree with a rose resting on her chest. What in ( Read more... )

So the city has become a big garden. Arak was not surprised. Well he was slightly, but pleasantly. He didn't mind this new garden scenery. Being a lover of beauty, he rather preferred these majestic gardens to the stench of city life. How could those commoners live. Honestly.

Spiders and webs surrounded the tent, and signs leading to the tent were rather old and faded. Inside, giant spiders replaced lions, and the clowns were black and white jokers and harlequins, dancing exotic ( Read more... )

Much as she would have liked to be able to complain, the truth was that Kanan really... didn't have any right to do so.

[Arak smelled the open air. The ocean was calm, the air crisp, and the sunset was beautiful. He does not know how or why, but he's on a ship, and his clothes are more sinister looking than ever.  But for some reason, he played along with it like it was normal. OH well, if you can't beat them, join them. The fact that his minions were working with ( Read more... )

Help! someone!! HEEEEEELP!!

[Poor Naota awoke today, got out of his apartment, only to be on a boat, and captured by God-knows-who. He has no idea what happened. all he knows is that he's somewhere in the ship, tied, hungry, and a little seasick. He is not happy at all.]

Please, someone! Anyone!

Oh me! Oh my!

This is not my beautiful castle!

Where have I wandered off into?

[Appearing out of nowhere, a man in rather gaudy masquerade clothing is frantically looking around.]
