Setting: Abyssal Floor Research Facility

Hello everyone, this week we're going 6000 meters beneath the surface of the sea to the abyssal plain of the ocean floor. Nope, deeper than this! At this depth there is no natural light. The surrounding water is literally colder than ice, and acclimating to the pressure takes several days in the barometric ( Read more... )

It was a peaceful day in the castle, as it's inhabitants went about their daily routine.

Then something crashed into it from the sky, obliterating half the courtyard and leaving it in a ruin. Chaos and panic ensured, people screaming as they found bits of other people who had been unfortunately caught in the object's path. A bit of thigh there, a ( Read more... )

Tokyo, the eleventh year of Meiji, late spring: it's all hustle and bustle as usual in the city, and whether you belong here or you've found yourself here by a trick of the sphere, it shouldn't be too hard to find something to distract yourself. Maybe it's the vendors shouting for your attention, or the smell of sukiyaki wafting out of the Akabeko ( Read more... )

((Continuing from here because it's funnier that way.It'd been a long day, and it was barely past dawn. His jeans were ripped from his claws earlier, his shirt was in rags, and the limiters clipped to his ear throbbed with every beat of his heart. They felt like they were growing tighter, until it was all he could do not to shake his head and tear ( Read more... )

Setting: Slebbin & Slebbin Advertising
We all know what we mean here.

It was a more formal workplace: women in skirts, men in suits. The rule of the day was to be clean-shaven, tidy, professional in approach. Of course, once you were in, you were in, and the office was your personal oyster. Slebbin & Slebbin in its early 1960s heyday was no ( Read more... )
