Mel is kicking back outside, on the grass near the garden, with a large plate of fried paradoxes and a book, neither of which she's really paying attention to, because her head is resting on her arms. Stampy is curled up, trunk around her head, to make a perfect bookstand. Gates, the four armed spider monkey demon, is splayed out neck to her, arms ( Read more... )

Mel is dangling from the underside of one of the rafters, holding a knife between her teeth. Which she occasionally takes out, to rub at the wood, during which time she jams a steel wire sponge into her pocket.

If you happen to be close, you might hear her muttering.

"When was the last time anyone tried to clean this, goddamn dried on... is that ( Read more... )

Sunshine is breathing hard as she runs along the shoreline on the far side of the lake. The sweat getting in her eyes only serves to make her darkened sight more treacherous as the shadows length with the setting sun.

Somewhere nearby there is a horrible crash!

THWAP

Aiiieeee!

A fight has broken out and it's quickly spreading, sucking up more and more people as it goes along. Someone goes tumbling headfirst over a table.

Was it yours?

It's not often one gets to see Mel outside near the training grounds these days: why train in bar when you can go out into your city and steal stuff and beat up lurks without them claiming toy about rules?

But here's the thing: Mel has a lot of pent up anger to exorcise right now, and in ways that just plain old vampire ridden Versi isn't cutting it ( Read more... )
