Baralai caught up to Rin at the funeral for Rederi - which, typical for Rin and his erys, was a full-blown party complete with a scrimmage Blitzball game. This type of funeral celebration had become the new custom now that Sendings didn’t work anymore. With no more pyreflies since the destruction of the Farplane gate, the people of Spira had ( Read more... )

“It’s no good,” Nhadala proclaimed, pointing toward the stairway leading to the Farplane. Already, a group of fiends were pushing down toward the bottom of the steps and it was quite clear that there were more behind. Fortunately, Youth League cadets were waiting for them, but it was a disheartening sight for those who were trying so hard to keep ( Read more... )

When Baralai woke up, he had a warm body next to his. Specifically, a warm body was against his back with its arms wrapped around Baralai’s waist. The hands belonging to this body were still adorned with black fingerless leather gloves.

It had to be Gippal. Not only would nobody in their right mind (excluding Gippal) climb into bed with ( Read more... )

Baralai's Headache Comes Back -- With a Vengence

Baralai had hardly slept, and didn’t even go through his usual morning routine before he forced himself to travel to the Moonflow.

Baralai had ignored his still-pounding headache because his message to the Al Bhed was so ( Read more... )

The bell on the wall of the office rang, indicating that Baralai had a visitor.

Sleepily, he looked at the bell as if daring it to ring again. It wasn’t that he’d had a restless night, but he had been awake for a good portion of the sleeping hours, and Gippal had risen early to a call from an Al Bhed associate of his.

The bell rang ( Read more... )

“Hello Wakka,” said Baralai, sitting down at a table in the little pub known as The Drop near the temple in Bevelle. “You wanted to see me?”

Wakka nodded, putting his elbows on the table. “You know, even though the others may not believe you about the whole thing, I do.”

Baralai smiled, mimicking Wakka’s pose. “I’m happy that I have your ( Read more... )

So... Ry fails at life and has injured herself, which requires fabulous painkillers. This inhibits her ability to write anything (well, maybe not anything, but at least anything that isn't some weird crack!fic [which may explain where some of her fic ideas come from]) so... we're going to delay chapter four until Saturday, fully pushing them back a ( Read more... )

Hi readers,

Just a notice that the chapter of Blue due out on Saturday may be a touch late this week. Both of the authors are moving and therefore are busy with things like electricity and mops instead of words and characters.

We hope to get it out by Monday, and then resume our regular schedule.

I apologize for any inconvenience,

“How about that reward?”

Baralai turned to look at Gippal curiously. “Reward? Did I promise you a reward?”

Gippal rolled his eye - his eyes, Baralai knew secretly - and stepped forward to join Baralai at the window. Baralai turned back to his original position, staring out the open picture window at the dark Bevelle sky. The lights of the ( Read more... )

Nooj spoke, even before the Commsphere screen had entirely cleared of bluish static, “What’s the status report in Bevelle?”

“All’s fine and dandy,” Gippal replied quickly. “Well, aside from the sudden invasion of zombies.”

“Zombies?” Nooj echoed, his tone just dripping with disbelief.

“He means fiends,” Baralai supplied. “ ( Read more... )
