Cartridge is a Gremlin

I was only sort of awake and so had no impulse control. 😆

A Note About Early Access

All original content will be posted direct to Patreon. Fan content, however, I post to Discord. It feels legally murky to post that material to Patreon directly, even if I’m doing a better job of balancing original content and fan content again. (Also, I’m not sure how much of that content would interest everyone, especially with my tendency to sometimes make fanwork for obscure media.)

Svetlana and Augusta Dancing

Doing a series of Svetlana dancing with each of her girlfriends. Still figuring out how much to lean into the retro anime style vs my normal art style. (Along with learning how to draw the designs.)

Chapter 5: Date Fight

The next couple of days were peaceful. Augusta, Plynx, and Thisbe had all given Svetlana space, the former two no doubt plotting while the latter was thinking things over. The main excitement was the fact that Mynx had ended up spending a fair bit of time around, having unlocked an interest in retro earth games. The games actually tended to keep her busy and peaceful, but if she was left unattended in the kitchen when she got hungry… well, the apartment still smelled a little of fish and ho...

Chapter 4: Fashion Police

“What are you wearing!?” Plynx blurted as she stepped into the employee lunch room.

“A new outfit. I bought a few,” Svetlana replied, crossing her arms and doing her best to emphasize her height for the sake of authority.

She was glad that, unlike Cartridge, she hadn’t lost any height with the change.

“That…” Plynx began, before pausing to take in the outfit some more. Her face turned red as she did.

Thisbe gave a nod, blushing herself. “Itâ€...

Chapter 3: Bro—No, Bra Moment

Kevin’s revelation had been met with shock and denial by most of her self-proclaimed fiancees. She’d hoped for better, but had braced for worse. She had been spared the worst of it thanks to Augusta getting a phone call, dragging her away to handle affairs of the Hozenberg-Lemonov-Bouragne family fortune.


Which left Plynx and Thisbe as the main objectors. Both girls were concerned that the ray was messing with Kevin’s brain, and insisted she would be herself again if th...

Chapter Two: What Do You Do With a Problem Like Kevin-a?

The streetcar ride back to the apartment had been awkward. Plynx and Mynx had argued away in their alien language, leaving Kevin unable to follow anything. Andrew, meanwhile, seemed vaguely hypnotized by his chest half the time, and definitely wasn’t offering much of a conversation partner. O’tmyil was also quiet, seeming to have entered ‘therapist mode’, asking how he was feeling while making disconcerting levels of eye contact. As if she was trying to read him, rather than talk to h...

Chapter 1: Mysterious Letter

The soft screech of metal on metal marked the streetcar’s turn from Wellington Street to Burlington Street, as it made its way into Hammer City’s industrial sector. As the streetcar turned, the golden light of the setting sun played across the interior. Across the interior and up into Kevin Fujikawa’s eyes. The pale skinned young man squinted, wondering if he should bother changing seats, considering there were only a few stops left. After glancing about the nearly empty streetcar, he d...

Chapter 1: A Hunter

[Warning, it gets a bit bloody.]


It was raining. That wasn’t surprising. It was Glasgow after all.


The two figures battling on the historic roofs of the inner city were more noteworthy, however. One was a particularly beautiful, yet pale, dark haired man, dressed in a soft ivory coloured greatcoat and looking like a ghost as he moved gracefully across the rooftops. The other figure was not human. A werewolf, with tawny red fur.

Chapter 1: A Hunter

It was raining. That wasn’t surprising. It was Glasgow after all.


It made fighting harder, though; Kristoff trying not to slip as he dodged the charging werewolf. He just barely escaped his foe’s slashing claws, countering with a swing of his own silvered blade. Kristoff’s slash drew little blood, but the silver got a roar of pain from the werewolf.


The werewolf lunged again, Kristoff jumping above it, spinning as he did to slice a long slash down itâ€...

OiRanze | Epilogue

Once they had reached the end of the Oushuu Kaido, travel slowed down significantly. Ranze had found herself having to negotiate to perform at local inns as a way of saving money, and hoping tips helped them make a little more (there had been a few performances as Ranmaru as well, but small towns grew more excited for a mysterious looking female performer than a male one, which mean better tips). Most inns also asked them to stay a week or two, after Ranze’s first performance, to try to giv...

OiRanze | North

The blood washed off easily enough. The feeling of revulsion and guilt was another matter, though it wasn’t the first time Muraji had led her to such feelings. She hoped the would dull with time in this case as well.


Staying with the body earlier, to make sure they really took it out from her apartment, may not have been the best decision for her peace of mind, but she needed to know he wouldn’t be there when she returned from bathing. The room still needed to be cleaned,...

OiRanze | Fight

Ranmaru and Katagami led Asa to the ageya. It was a short walk for that final stretch, even with the ageya on nearly the opposite end of Yoshiwara from the southern gate and the streets muddy. Arriving inside, the shinzo girl and guard at the front eyed Asa suspiciously, but made no comments. Ranmaru had no interest in stopping to chat and hurried past the foyer and towards the apartments.


“Muraji’s men might not be able to get here easily, but he’s still going to want ...

OiRanze | Contact

Ranmaru climbed up into the tree outside the Muraji estate, helping the Kitsune up after him. The pair slipped down into the yard, the Kitsune was impressively quiet. With the yard itself empty, the pair hurried over to the side of the house, Ranmaru poking his head in to look for Asa. Not seeing her, Ranmaru gestured for the Kitsune to stay put while slipping into the house himself.


His grip on his bokuto tightening, he slipped deeper into the house. It was all or nothing n...

OiRanze | Plans

Ranze still didn’t know what to do with herself, even after a day of processing the news she could be open about the love she felt like she was walking on clouds. There was, though, the lingering question of where Asa would stay. Her own apartment could only work on those nights she had no clients... having Asa in the building at all made her feel uncomfortable with the idea of taking clients, if she was being honest. Still, she had nowhere else to house her. She didn’t trust any other ho...

OiRanze | Revelations

Ranze had been reading some of the latest poetry publications to Ichi, trying to get the girl’s mind off the lingering soreness Nishizaki’s herbal blend didn’t quite erase, when the apartment door slammed open. The Yarite marched in, eyes in a narrow glare, the accountant woman who’d found out about Ichi and the head of the guards following her. The accountant woman held a bundle of linen in her arms, and Ranze winced as she realised what had happened.


“Mei, I woul...

OiRanze | Operation

It was a little less than a week later when Doctor Nishizaki returned. Unfortunately, Ranze had another guest booked for that night, and was forced to ask him to return the next day, but he’d seemed cheerful enough either way, saying he was confident in his treatment plan.


The morning and early afternoon of the next day dragged on, both Ranze and Ichi that mix of nervous and excited about what was coming that ensured time would move its slowest. Being called up to the fron...

OiRanze | Doctor

Ranze froze up a moment, as she heard soft sobbing in the baths. It had been early enough in the morning she’d expected the baths to be empty, and so signalled for Ichi to stay put. Moving quietly, Ranze peaked around the corner, to see it was Saki in the corner.


“What’s... what’s wrong?” Ranze asked, as she stepped out into the main bathing area.


Saki’s gentle sobs stopped, and the woman turned to Ranze, tears still in her eyes. “I’m... I th...

OiRanze | History

It was close to noon when Ranmaru and Ichi finally woke up and headed up to Saki’s for breakfast. Saki was happy to hear about the nonsense of the Kabuki performance the night before, and the meal ended up lasting quite a while as, the now female again, Ranze had to explain to Ichi and Saki both how it ended.


She was wrapping up the story when Fuji arrived, the actress/waitress following her.

Ichi was a bit distant as Ranze tried to run her through lessons that week. She understood why, and continued to beat herself up for having gotten the young girl’s hopes up so. She certainly hoped this mysterious doctor wouldn’t take too long to arrive, so that the waiting part could be done at least.


She’d long considered waiting one of the worst things in life, a time when your heart could dream up the highest hopes and your mind the darkest tragedies, and you had no...

OiRanze | Inconsistency

Ranze ran slowly through a kenjutsu kata, focusing her mind on the question the head guard had presented her some time earlier. What was her great advantage? She’d let the question percolate in the back of her mind for some time, but felt no closer to an answer. Her father hadn’t been a particularly great swordsman, and had been only moderately involved in her training after he lost some of his fingers to frostbite. There was no unique lesson from him. Hanamoto had been similarly competen...
