Save Scumming - Chapter One Hundred and Forty-Four
Chapter One Hundred and Forty-Four“Hello, Miss X.”I nodded to the man who’d spoken. It was one of the doctors. Middle-aged man in scrubs and with a pristine white lab-coat on. The only logo on him, and in the entire room, was a small Orchid Lux logo on the lapel of his coat. “Hey,” I said.“Is this your first operation with us?” he asked.“Uh, yeah,” I replied.“Fantastic. Don’t...
Stray Cat Strut - Volume Nine - Chapter One
Chapter One -***“Okay, so this is going to be an immense pain in the ass,” I said.I was on the couch, feet up on the coffee table and one of Lucy’s tablets on my lap. The Kittens were being brats, but they were being brats elsewhere after I threatened to hold them by their ankles out of the nearest window until they learned the art of being quiet.It was an empty threat, but it still worked.A...
Cinnamon Bun - Chapter Five Hundred and Sixty-Five
Chapter Five Hundred and Sixty-Five“To be clear, we are absolutely not free,” Amaryllis said. She had her wings crossed and beak pointed upwards. The fact that Amaryllis was taller than the village head probably made her all the more intimidating.We had relocated from the field the Beaver had landed in to the village head’s house, right in the middle of town. Well, not so much his house as h...
Save Scumming - Chapter One Hundred and Forty-Three
Chapter One Hundred and Forty-ThreeWhen I got home that evening, I tossed off my shoes, then set a Save. The first thing I did was go to a trustworthy side and download the spell formation for Sap Strength. That required my ID and about three thousand dollars.Luna Corp had a version of the spell as well, but looking at it, I discovered that it was a three year old pattern and that that specific ve...
Stray Cat Strut - Volume Nine - A Young Lady's Vacation Next Door - Prologue
PrologueHe liked to imagine Sisyphus happy.Libre walked down one of the many corridors dug into the earth of his home, cement walls and concrete ceilings, with lights at even intervals and the occasional busy soldier along the path. He had his helmet tucked under one arm, his other hand held up before him so that he could read the display built into his inner arm.“This will be a quick sortie,”...
Save Scumming - Chapter One Hundred and Forty-Two
Hi <3 New chappy!Chapter One Hundred and Forty-TwoTo say that I was a little distracted the next day would be something of an understatement. I couldn’t stop thinking about Becky’s face, and the sparks that went off around her when she... yeah. Also, kissing Jane.I could use more of that, actually.Shaking my head, I refocused on the now. I was heading in to work. It was Tuesday morning, and to...
Interlewd - Payments in Experience
Interlewd - Payments in Experience“Experience?” Becky asked. It had sounded just a little squeaky, which wasn’t something I was used to hearing from her.“You know, you pay me in first times, and I call it even,” Jane said. She was very clearly teasing.I... could put a stop to this. It wasn’t creepy or anything yet, but if Jane pushed it even a little further, it might be. So far she’...
Save Scumming - Chapter One Hundred and Forty-One
Becky in costume, by MingrixHmm... so... uh... small poll (without an actual poll) who would be down for a Jane X Becky X MC interlewd? Like, probably something pretty tame. A la first interlewd with Jane?Y / NChapter One Hundred and Forty-One“I’m here, I’m queer, and-- ohh, guns!”Jane and I looked at each other for just a moment before turning towards the front of the store where Becky wa...
Sporemageddon - Book Five - Psilocybin Nine
Psilocybin NineI really wanted to explore what I could do with that [Purelight Gill] some more. How long would one of them work? Could I grow them fast enough to make it economical?There had been lessons on that kind of thing at the academy. Most of it was pretty straightforward, logical stuff, but as with every other logical thing, it was also the kind of thing that you didn’t think about until...
Cinnamon Bun - Chapter Five Hundred and Sixty-Four
Chapter Five Hundred and Sixty-FourIt was nearing noon when Sally the Scallywag called out from across the deck. “Land ho!”“We’re flying over land, you moron!” Joe shouted back.“You know what I meant, and you’re the moron for not catching onto my context clues... moron!” Sally sniped back.I held back a giggle, because while it was funny, and I didn’t sense that they were actually...
Save Scumming - Chapter One Hundred and Forty
Second chappy!Chapter One Hundred and FortyI spent Sunday doing... not too much, really. I did a few longer loops practicing with my guitar, then some doing some French exercises, but I mostly took the day off and fit in three days worth of relaxing into just one day. It was very unproductive. I did call up Becky to see if we could go meet with Jane, but she was ‘hella busy’ so we had to put i...
Save Scumming Sword Arrived!
Hehe!Sword :3Took a long while to arrive, but it's here now!
Save Scumming - Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-Nine
Next... maybe skip ahead to Becky meeting Jane...omg, Becky meeting Jane... Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-NineFran ended up getting a reservation at... a perfectly ordinary restaurant. It was one of those nicer chains, the kind of place that sold expensive steaks and had a wine menu on the table next to a lit candle. It was a place called Chez Slowbane. More French, so I supposed Fran had a taste...
Save Scumming - Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-Eight
Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-Eight“Ew!” Becky said as we shone a light into the room with the birthing pools.I was pretty sure that wasn’t the technical term for what we were seeing, but it was close enough. There were large pools, and little baby buglings were being born in them, bursting out of weird sacs almost fully formed and just a bit smaller than they would be as adults.“Oh, god,...
The November Index
Hehe? It's 1 month after the other one, so maybe it's right on time, if you squint?Link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1k-vR6vxGw7bDQ3QL3XKV7_AAaembKVLx-YqiAgvvVOI/edit?usp=sharing
Save Scumming - Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-Seven
Affff, I really wanna get to this really cool aura-farming scene, but it's not for a few daaaaays!Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-SevenI stepped into the portal first, sword in one hand, revolver in the other. It was a decent combo at short and medium ranges, and that’s about what I needed at the moment.Taking a few steps forwards, I waited for the girls to pop in behind me, then I gestured a...
Fluff - Volume Four - Chapter Thirty-Eight
Chapter Thirty-EightMaple hummed as she looked over everything she had to work with.She had heaps of gardening tools, donated by the nice people who lived here before. She had some hunting supplies from the hardware store, as well as a bunch of other stuff they’d picked up. Wheelbarrows worth. It was more stuff than she’d ever had to work with before, really.Next to that, in a cardboard box, w...
Dead Tired - Volume Four - Chapter Eight
Chapter EightI wasn’t impressed on seeing the arena and the city going up in record time. Being impressed implied that this wasn’t the expected result.One wasn’t impressed that a baker could bake bread, or that a bricklayer could lay brick. It was what they did. An army of undead with magical support from Death Butlers and a (small) nation’s resources to rely upon should be able to build a...
Sporemageddon - Book Five - Psilocybin Eight
Psilocybin EightIt was time.Well, it had been time yesterday, and a bit this morning, and it was time now as well. Generally speaking, ‘the time’ was a wide band and... and I was probably overthinking things because I was a little excited.I arrived at the farm early in the morning, Sir Nibbles by my side. Today was the day that I was going to harvest all of the new cultivated mushrooms. The su...
Cinnamon Bun - Chapter Five Hundred and Sixty-Three
Chapter Five Hundred and Sixty-ThreeI wandered into the Captain’s office early the next morning to find Amaryllis hard at work behind the desk. Maybe it should have been renamed the First Mate’s office? It was more often than not occupied by Amaryllis more than anyone else, after all.“Morning!” I said. “Did you have breakfast yet?”“Hmm? Oh, not yet,” Amaryllis replied. “I woke up...
Save Scumming - Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-Six
Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-SixBecky was nearly done with her breakfast when Fran arrived. I’d ordered a coffee and a single piece of toast, mostly because the waitress behind the counter gave me the stink-eye and I didn’t want to cause a fuss or be any more memorable than I had to.We were just chatting about, of all things, music.For someone so punk, Becky’s taste in noise was real... mu...
Save Scumming - Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-Five
No SCS today, so I figured a quick Save instead?Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-FiveThe door into the boss room didn’t exactly have a handle, so after gingerly poking at it from a few angles, I decided to say fuck it, and kicked the door in. It held from the first blow, but a few extra kicks sent it crashing down where it kicked up a wash of dust on landing.The boss room was a large space, filled...
Save Scumming - Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-Four
Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-FourI had choices. Left or right.The right path seemed a little wide and more inviting, the left more narrow and winding.I went left. Maybe I was a bit of a masochist, but some gut instinct told me to always pick the harder-looking option first. I’d circle back around and see what the right path was like later, if I felt like it.The path was, initially, just wide e...
Save Scumming - Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-Three
Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-ThreeThe opening room of the portal was a dark, poorly-lit space. If it wasn’t for the portal a step behind me, the entire room would have been so dark as to be impossible to see in. Even See Darkness only helped so much.It actually reminded me a lot of the first portal I’d ever tackled solo, that little one with the lizard guys in it. Damn, that had been less th...
Fluff - Volume Four - Chapter Thirty-Seven
Chapter Thirty-Seven“Okay,” Emily said as she looked over her sisters. They were more or less ready to head out. “Maple, do you want to come, or did you want to stay here?”“Um,” Maple said. She gripped the fabric of her skirt for a moment, eyes downcast as she hesitated. “Can I come?” she eventually said.“Of course, I wouldn’t ask if you wanted to if I didn’t expect you to......
Stray Cat Strut - Volume Eight - Epilogue
Epilogue“Merde!”She ducked her head out from around the battlements. She didn’t need any of those alien fucks to see her and maybe try to snipe at her position. Next to her, maybe some three metres back, was the bottom half of a volunteer who’d spent too long staring.The model Fifteen-Aquas were out in force. They were sprinkled throughout the antithesis sieging the city and sticking out t...
Sporemageddon - Book Five - The Detective Three
The Detective ThreeHe didn’t want to be here, and the person sitting across from him didn’t want him here either. They both knew it, and they also both knew that this was out of both of their control.It was actually a good thing that they were both aware of where they stood, it meant that even if they didn’t speak things aloud, there was a mutual understanding. They could work with this, be ...
Stray Cat Strut - Volume Eight - Chapter Eighty-Four
Chapter Eighty-Four***“C’mon,” I said as I grabbed the waist of Lucy’s pants. I wasn’t gonna let her sleep in her fancy business clothes. Sure, it was hot, but not for sleepwear. I had Lucy’s favourite pyjamas on the bed next to her, big fluffy pants, this oversized sweatshirt made of this cottony, soft material, and warm, wooly socks. I especially liked the socks, because Lucy’s fee...
Cinnamon Bun - Chapter Five Hundred and Sixty-Two
Chapter Five Hundred and Sixty-TwoShowing off my wings to Caprica was fun.Showing them off to Bastion was a mistake.He took one look at them, then immediately had me doing exercise to see if I couldn’t use them as more than pretty back-based decoration. I didn’t want to do exercise, I wanted to have fun with my friends, but Bastion had me running laps of the Beaver’s top deck instead.Fortuna...
Save Scumming - Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-Two
Started this one last night, but accidentally took a nap instead of finishing, oops? Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-TwoConvincing Fran to come was surprisingly easy. A quick text letting her know that I’d found an E-rank portal that we could hit and she was onboard. She did say that it helped that it was the weekend, where she wasn’t as busyBecky... was a bit harder to convince. “How much?â€...
