I have not entirely mastered any way of filtering this so many of you may feel free to skip this.  Also, I do not know those who would number among Lioriley's friends and I must speak with all of you via this means.  To those who do not know me but know her, I am Veles, her teacher and her guardian of sorts; a polite young troll named Nepeta gave a ( Read more... )

[Asha's curled up at the head of Bowen's bed, her PORTAL resting on her knees, and she stares off out the window for a long moment before she starts talking.]

These places, the ones that are ours, that we bring with us... [She trails off, could almost look like she's gotten distracted and forgotten she's using the PORTAL, except for the very ( Read more... )

[ The PORTAL clicks on, sitting on the table of the kitchen in Josh's house, but he's off screen. The sound of running down the stairs can be heard. ]

This is... bad. And I don't mean just the garden variety kind of bad. I mean seriously bad! Like, all that karma crap that Aiden talks about coming back and hitting me in the face kind of... bad.

[When the PORTAL turns on, the feed is shaky and still adjusting to the light while Daemyn. Crickets and peepers are heard softly in the background, and the PORTAL is pointing towards a cabin, sunlight shining into the cabin, showing the wooden chairs and tables.

[Jack stares uncertainly at the camera for a few seconds before scowling at it. He's dressed notably-- both because he's wearing clothes a century old and because he hasn't got a mask on.]

Look, I don't know who the hell you think you are, and I don't care-- if you're Pulitzer's men or Snyder's or any o' that. I'm tellin' you right now, you got ( Read more... )

[Video opens with Mei, looking down at her PORTAL.]

Is this a cell phone? It's been going since I woke up here, but it's not mine. Did someone lose theirs? There was an odd mask with it, if that helps identify the owner.

Also, could someone please tell me where this is? It looked so much different last night... Was it that dark out?

It's just another timeline. Alternate reality. I'm trying not to think too much about it.

I can't really believe that it's real. I was alive, I guess that's something to be happy for. I'm not sure why I'm able to remember it.

I think it might be a trick.

[She wakes up with a start, rubbing her eyes and it's still pitch black outside but still...she feels like she's been asleep a really long time now. The teneka goes on without her noticing as she frantically checks at her left thigh and yep, sure enough, the brand is there.]

No.

[The thought is soft, quiet. She lies back again, curls up with her ( Read more... )
