“Yeah.”
“That quickly?” I ask, somewhat bewildered. Izzy has been leveling quickly for quite some time now, but since the hero joined her ...

“Wait, what? You want what now?”
“I’m fairly certain you heard me the first time, but I’ll humor you. I would like you to offer me a Class, if you are amenable to it.” ...
“Hello Eleonor, how have you been?” I ask while sending fourteen of my natural weapons darting at her.
Omorth moves to our forefront as per our usual tactics – he’s an able shielder, ...

Markus, following behind me, answers with a sigh. “Yes, yes, we’re ...
She was absolutely right; a quick trip back to the Sand Sea and some advice from Nyx – or rather, her pointing at exactly what I want and me disgorging ennis from my dimensional storage – and I...
2024-04-12 23:57:36 +0000 UTC View Posthi folks! I commented about it on rr but I'll mention it here too. the new job is a bit more intensive than I'd anticipated, so my schedule here is probably going to slow down a bit, probably 1-3 c...

Well, whatever. I can always drain him later if he’s a nuisance.
…Or just because I feel like it.

Sitting in peaceful silence other than the sounds of the garden’s wildlife, my guest and I simply enjoy our tea.

Three days come and go so fast.
Too fast even for mortals, let alone a god.
We’d spent time with Izahne’s family, where Orv was warm and inviting and Sodaca was as surly and inhospi...

Sodaca dragged me off to a side room surrounded by shelves covered with gadgets whose purposes I couldn’t guess, then promptly retrieved a ring from one. After putting it on...
So that took way too long to explain… but at least the look on Orv’s face has gone from bafflement to amazement to bland acceptance.
“I’d offer for you to stay here for the night, but...
2024-03-16 04:49:29 +0000 UTC View PostAfter a moment of arguing, I convince my father-in-law to at least come inside and sit down. I take my usual place in our sitting area, Artemis to my side and the others wherever they feel like as ...

Even a few minutes after getting out of the metal tube contraption, I’m still woozy.
I can only imagine how it’d be for a mortal.

2024-03-15 06:39:27 +0000 UTC View PostWell, it’s finally the big day!
What big day? The day we open the proverbial doors of the Shadowed Plane to humans!
…Or, mortals. They’re not all human. Actually, a lot of them ar...

I stomp hard enough to crack the hallway’s stone floor.
Arty puts a hand on my shoulder, and I fiercely turn to her before catching myself.
And...
2024-03-12 06:37:16 +0000 UTC View Post“Huh. Yeah, you weren’t kidding.”
Artemis doesn’t have a single language Skill. I’d have thought that wouldn’t matter considering mortals who aren’t ascendants can spea...
I can’t say I’m that surprised that Artemis doesn’t actually bother organizing her people at all – after all, I get the impression that they gathered around her and not the other way around...

“Any way we could maybe… speed this up a bit?”
I’ve been following Rose for the past few days as it’s been adding the plane’s land to the dungeon. ...

Before we’ve even turned the last corner in the hedge maze, my wife is already quietly growling. And I let her as I keep pulling us along.

Artemis and I are currently walking to the venue. It’s actually right here on Elysium, which at least simplifies the route.
Now if only they allow...

Omorth. Are you yourself? Do you remember anything?
Ah, I apparently star...
I’m still not sure why Artemis dresses me up in this frilly stuff. It’s not like this will coordinate with whatever number she goes with, probably made of lots of furs stitched together. It’s...
2024-03-05 00:07:31 +0000 UTC View Post“What are you trying to say?”
Yeah, I can already tell this is going to go horribly. I’ve barely said anything more than “We need to talk” and Izahne’s hackles are fully up.
“No.”
Abaris didn’t even let me finish before flatly rejecting my request.
Which I guess shouldn’t be that surprising, considering the terror he went through before. Apparentl...
