Missing A Little Chaos In Our Lives

(Valeria)

The cloud of purple mist and poison slowly began to dissipate. Still, as per proper protocol we had to wait an hour at the minimum before a cleaning team would be allowed to go in and access the area.

These were the rules.

Odd to think that someone so small would cause such chaos.

Penelope of course was not the only one who was nervous, as everyone seemed to come out to inspect the school and see wha...

Silicon Struggles

“You requested me?” Arla asked in the squawking language of the Lostarians, her tone calm despite the imposing form of dozens of Geminoids now taking the moment to gather around her.

The moving of a Geminoid who was posing as a statue was a big no-no. Anyone who watched and studied the statues would see their movements.

While each had not left their perfectly supported platform, it was clear that all now faced towards the statue of Admi...

Sterile Greetings

Confidentiality.

Sterile.

If I had to summarize what it was like to suddenly and finally find myself back here on the sacred lands of BiPrism, I would have to say the word that best describes this homecoming as sterile.

Why sterile?

Well, honestly, I can’t come up with a better word to describe the sensation.

Or maybe the lack of sensation.

Coming back here is like going to a fre...

Open Tryouts

“Today, we open our doors and our floors to every student here today. Everyone with a wish, will, or intent to try out can and will be given a shot. Those that make it through this process are gunning for your spot, for your position. They all want what you have, and they are willing to push themselves further and farther than ever to get your spot. And I’m going to let them, that is, unless you show me you have what it takes to be a member of this team...

Prelude VIII

(Larry Yo-Boy’s BiPrism News)

(One Month Later)

“All right, it is official,” a clearly bedraggled Larry begins. The studio that normally looks pristine and well maintained is now slightly disheveled, signs of dust, and with what appears to be a coffee mug clearly resting on a table of trophies.

Also, Larry himself seemed to have somehow aged ten years in the matter of one month. His face is unevenly shaven, as if he did so in the dark with a razor be...

Through him, we will gain the power to change between the realm of man and beast. Best of all, we are granted the power to walk these lands without fear of corruption, or degradation of our capabilities. For once you gain the essence of the Great One, you will become...

And before you give me any of those old adages, round at least for your time here, is not a shape,” the...

The Move

(Darcy Renolds)

It was happening.

The world was changing, and yet it was all still staying the same. Darcy was so excited at playing the field, and actually guessing right, that she was on cloud nine about what she had done.

There was of course just one speedbump in the way of her going to be with her friends.

“Are you sure that you want to go to Tennessee?” Darcy’s father, Malcolm Renolds asked. “I could pull a few strings and g...

A Gathering of Serpents

Bright green flames rising with unscented smoke.

Percussion sounds of thunder.

As the smoke rose, distant drums echoed over the lands and fields. Those sounds, along with the deep resonating sounds of heavy cloven feet pounding on the ground echoed in an odd off cadence of sound covering movements.

“It seems that this time we will have more honored guests,” Prentip’s voice called out, his voice mixing with the odd...

Rotations.

Everyone was set up for eight-hour rotations. Of the twenty-one groups with soldiers trained by Dr. Spiritlight, seven were to be on shift for specific eight-hour periods. Then added to that, the spirits of the Deolorian empire were also broken up into eight-hour shifts, where they would serve beside the Spiritlight Special Forces. This way the day was covered, everyone had a chance to do their...

The After Action Report (AAR)

Never count your chickens before they are battered, fried, and served with a side, as my dad used to say.

Just thinking about that comment made me realize that I still need to find where spirits go when they pass on with their seventh and final life. I refuse to believe that the spirits just die permanently here.

From what I’ve seen and felt, it seems nearly impossible to destroy a spirit. That is to fully rip apart all aspec...

Alternate Life Forms

“Hazing can come in many shapes and forms at the Academy. One of the biggest things to note, is that if upper classmen are gathered and looking around, seemingly waiting, know they are expecting you or other Freshmen to break an unwritten rule. Know that there are punishments for these unwritten rules.” -Warnings of Marcon on Academy Life.

The day was over, mostly.

The sun in all its brilliantly blazing red glory was setting off in t...

The world had gone on, things that had at one point been very important to many people passed. Things that were one time deal breakers, suddenly seemed to be minor inconveniences at best.

The festivities started easily enough.

It began with a bonfire.

Well not just any bonfire, but a magically enhanced fire. While not fully able to grasp the use of elements, the fact that Frank could feel the different elements at all was huge.

Watching the great flames that began with but tiny cinders, first at first. But then as soon as both Prentip and the elusive Avian Shaman both worked the flames in unison.

All the remaining Legrand soldiers that were Resurrected were sent back. All Midnight Hunter’s were also allowed to leave the completely separated Kujo Caverns. Until finally it was just Ms. Kujo, her twelve pups. A cowering Mr. Kujo who got death glares from Ms. Kujo and the three non-water aligned Pomeranians.

“All an AI Legacy is, is just disappointment waiting to be unleashed. They are not Gods, not long-lost lottery tickets waiting to be cashed in, but they are ticking time bombs of destruction, bound to cause history to repeat itself over and over again.” -Marcon’s teachings of the rise of the second empire.

An Armistice?

Sometimes the outcome of certain events are inevitable. That is, you start an action, go through the motions and then get an obvious outcome.

An example of this would be boiling an egg. You get the water, heat it, and then place the egg in and ten minutes or so later you are done with the process, simple. There are of course some possible variations that occur after the egg is boiled. After the boiling, you can dye the egg different ...

As someone who is smaller than most pets, you build up survival instincts. These are minor things that help you realize when danger is coming.

Danger in my case is the apparent overly excited form of a lunging Promoppo eagerly wiggling and jumping up at me.

Surprisingly the fields seemed to welcome t...
