2025-08-18 15:58:54 +0000 UTC View PostWhen we reached the house my parents had been staying at, I admit I froze. “I…was expecting something bigger.” We were standing in a small grass yard between two huge buildings. Packed into t...
2025-08-15 21:41:40 +0000 UTC View PostThere was a brief lull before everyone lost it. Not a long one, mind. It seemed like everyone was so shocked they didn’t know how to react. On our side we were staring down twenty A-rankers, and ...
2025-08-14 23:53:50 +0000 UTC View PostThe trip up the glacier was tense. I’d expected that, with all of us stuck together in a very small area (relatively speaking) and unable to leave. Given the rank of the planet, the distance to t...
2025-08-14 00:09:10 +0000 UTC View Post“So, I have a plan,” I said as we stared up at the platforms to Arcadia. They nearest one to us was apparently the West gate. It was about a hundred miles outside of Veltheim. It had been a wee...

2025-08-08 21:35:21 +0000 UTC View PostThe interior of the metal temple was surprisingly cramped. Most buildings I’d seen were spatially expanded, and this one might have been as well, but if it was, it was expanded and THEN filled wi...
2025-08-07 22:33:56 +0000 UTC View PostThe rest of the raids went smoothly. We dropped in to help with two others, and to my complete and utter shock, we netted a cool hundred points for our efforts, two thirds of my entire haul up to t...
2025-08-06 20:25:56 +0000 UTC View PostThe ghosts fell on me like a pack of rabid hyenas. Probably. I wasn’t sure if hyenas retained the necessary presence of mind to form a pack after contracting rabies, but in a general sense, they ...
