The Wayhaven Chronicles—Update+ 18/June/2021

So, Nate/Nat's scene for the Research version is all done! And I'm seriously happy with it :D

It was so much more than expected but I cannot wait for you guys to try it!! I also can't wait to hear which way your MC's decide to go in this scene...

As I was writing, I actually also thought of something that could possibly come up again and be mentioned in a fun way in Chapter 14 for N's scene, so I made sure to note that down. I love when characters in games reference small things y...

Monthly Bonus Content #1— Beach Trip (Part 1)

“The sea!” Felix yells, stripping out of his painfully fluorescent Hawaiian shirt and dashing towards the glittering ocean.

“I guess we’ve lost him for the next while,” I comment, bending down and sitting onto the beach recliner with care so as it doesn’t snap up around me. The stripey material sinks but thankfully doesn’t set off the delicate frame.

Ava sighs, staring out t...

TFW it's a boiling hot day, and you're writing a boiling hot scene...

Oh my, my, my.... ;)

An Extra Glimpse—June 2021

So, I was writing one of the variations for N's scene and wanted to share a bit of an out-of-context choice set. I took the actual choice dialogue out so as not to properly spoil anything though, hehe! ;D

--

*if (ntogether = "true") #Kiss ${n_his} cheek and hug ${n_him}. "I love it. Thank you."

*if (ntogether = "") #Hug ${n_him}. "It's amazing. Thank you."

#Chuckle. "What would you have done if I'd said no to coming outside?"

The Wayhaven Chronicles—Update+ 11/June/2021

Another really great week this week!

So as I said last week, I'm tackling the research version of Chapter 8 first, and seeing as my usual order of writing was put out by not planning A's scene, I dove straight into N's.

Except...well, that went all off a completely different tangent than expected, lol!

The start was going exactly as I planned and then this HUGE opportunity presented itself to put in a scene that I thought was going to be in Book Four but it fit here SO perfe...

Unseen Scenes—Book One, Chapter Three (Felix PoV)

So, I know Unseen Scenes usually come later in the month, but I was really keen to get this one out! :D

--

Felix skips ahead of the others in order to reach the office first, only just managing to restrain himself from shoving Rebecca out of the way to get inside.

How could he not? That Rebecca could have a child never even occurred to him, so his eagerness to know what they’re like is so overwhelming he can barely contain himself.

He stumbles to a stop near the door...

Unseen Scenes—Book One, Chapter Three (Farah PoV)

So, I know Unseen Scenes usually come later in the month, but I was really keen to get this one out! :D

Farah skips ahead of the others in order to reach the office first, only just managing to restrain herself from shoving Rebecca out of the way to get inside.

The Wayhaven Chronicles—Update+ 04/June/2021

So as many of you know I took a break from the internet for a while, but in that time I was writing like crazy! Like, I was getting scenes finished before I'd even had breakfast!

Chapter 7 really does still need to be edited, as there's quite a bit I want to add to it, but I'm definitely in more of a major writing mode right now, so I'm going with the flow for Chapter 8.

Chapter 8 actually has 2 completely different versions of it—Chapter 8: Research and Chapter 8: Combat. Or ma...

Murphy Fate: Escaped or Captured?

Now I'm not hinting heavily that Murphy will definitely make a reappearance and that his fate will play a big part in how that reappearance will go or anything...this is just for my interest, you know? ;)

So, in your playthrough in Book One, did you manage to capture Murphy or did he escape?

What was each of UB's first impression of Rebecca?

--

Felix springs out of his chair and walks to the door, peering down the hallway. "She's not around is she?"

"I can't sense her," Mason states.

Felix shuts the door and swings around to the face the room again. "She was fricking terrifying. I'd only met a few humans after getting here, and then she pops up and is like 'You should join my team. You would make a good fit.' Not even a hello."

"She ...

For UB: how do you feel about flying (in planes lol)?

--

Morgan scoffs out a breath and shudders, which gives you your answer there.

Nate looks over at her with a soft chuckle. "Morgan isn't a fan of being confined anywhere, but especially not in the air with no possible escapes. As for me, it is not my favourite means of transport, but it certainly opens up a world of possibilities."

"I hope that pun was intended," Farah says with a growing grin.

Nate, we don't really know much about your parents. Who between them are you more similar to, and what traits did you inherit that you're happy about and not happy to have inherited?

--

"From what I've been told of my father what I remember of my mother, I would say I am a decent mix of the two," he replies with a whisper of a smile. "My mother raised me, along with my step-father, so I think she likely had more influence on me than my father, simply because he wa...

Bobby: Did you always want to be a reporter? What else would you be doing if reporting wasn't an option? 

--

"Well, didn't we all want to be astronauts or firefighters when we were younger?" they asks with a soft laugh. "But I grew out of that fast enough. Even when I was little, I knew I had a knack for…" they pause, moving their lips as though tasting for the right word, "getting what I wanted. And getting what I want is a requirement for rooting out the ...

Update+

Hi guys. Not really up to being too much on the internet still, but I didn't want you to miss out on your Update+!

--

With the threat of not only the Trappers but the Anunnaki hanging around, it's decided Unit Bravo and I should stick together for the next few days.

Whether that's for them to protect me from Trappers or me to protect them from the Anunnaki, I'm not entirely sure.

Will I take any excuse to have the MC spend even more time with...

For N: You've been open about having a certain level of distaste for contemporary technology. But how do you feel about artificial intelligences? Do you think supernaturals and humans can share in or maybe learn from AI's experiences, like their art, music, learning, or social skills?

--

"I suppose it would depend on the level of sophistication or, well, life of the AI," Nat replies. "True AI, if it happens one day, would really be a new form of life. They would d...

Unseen Scene— Book One, Chapter Three (Adam PoV)

Adam paces the small space near the front desk of the station, his boots thudding with each careful stride.

“Could you not?” Morgan chides with a frown.

“He’s just nervous, aren’t you?” Farah says with a smile over at him. “It’s always that way meeting someone new. Well, sort of new. Last night doesn’t count.” She leans her arm on the desk beside Morgan, the young man behind it not paying attention to them in the least. “What if they don’t like us?”

Unseen Scene—Book One, Chapter Three (Ava PoV)

Ava paces the small space near the front desk of the station, her boots thudding with each careful stride.

For Mason/Morgan: if you had to choose, would you say you hate extreme cold temperatures or extreme hot temperatures more? or do you truly not have a preference?

--

"Hot," he replies instantly. "Trying to cool down is impossible. At least when you're cold you can warm up easily."

"Like putting on a jumper," Nate offers.

Mason smirks and bites at his bottom lip. "Or other more fun ways."

Nate sighs.

For A (and perhaps Tane/Maaka as well): What is the heaviest thing you've lifted in terms of weight and how heavy was it (kgs/lbs)? When you benchpress / lift weights, how heavy are the weights you use?

--

"I lifted Tane here once," Maaka says, punching his brother in the arm. "He weighed a ton."

Tane slides a lazy smile onto his lips while flexing a tattooed arm. "That's all complete solid muscle."

"It's like you're made of rock, man," Maaka adds with...

"Ah, you already said my favourite things," Farah chuckles before pursing her lips and sucking in a breath through her nose. "Hmm…The amount of choice you guys have in EVERYTHING." She flings her arms out to either side as she blurts out the word. "You want a doughnut? Sure, but what kind? There's hundreds of flavours! You want a shirt? Sure, go for...

Question for Verda & Tina (on Douglas’ route): what do you guys think of the recent changes in Douglas’ behaviour? Do you see it as a good change?

"His new work ethic can only be a good thing," Verda offers, looking over to Tina for agreement.

She scrunches up her nose. "Bit weird though, isn't it? And the way he follows [Detective Name] around all the time." She nods towards you. "It's creepy."

Verda sighs. "The boy finally has a role model...

She frowns. "What is so wrong with that? The townsfolk are—"

"Not running after us with pitchforks and torches?" Ava interrup...

For N: How do you take your tea and what types of tea do you enjoy? We have a debate that you might prefer good quality loose leaf teas vs. processed teabags, but it is up in the air whether you would taint good tea with something like milk 👀

He laughs before it fades into a smile and a nod. "You'd be correct. Though it's difficult to hold of loose leaf teas through the Agency, and there are rarely any good tea shops around Wayhaven." His head tilts as he taps his fingers to...

SERAPHINITE GAMES UPDATE

Hello everyone, Nai here (Mishka's sister and EA).

Such sad news I’m afraid, poor ratty boy Silver has passed away and Mishka is absolutely devastated.

To make sure she grieves and rests properly, she’s taking some time away from Tumblr, Patreon Rewards (though the Q&A are still scheduled) and Social Media - she has insisted, of course, that she will continue writing as that does provide her with a lot of comfort - I will also  be offline, helping her with things as m...

"You know what annoys me?" Morgan begins, leaning forward from where she's balanced a hip against a sideboard.

Farah sighs and tips her head back. "Oh, you just know a five minute rant is coming when someone starts a conversation off that way."

Morgan throws her a narrow-eyed glare before returning to you and raising a pointed finger. "Packaging."

All of Unit Bravo - What things they have struggled with the most in becoming top agents?

Mason snorts. "Well, I've always been a top, so not much has changed."

"Nice," Felix replies with a grin.

Ava looks over to him with a quizzical brow arched. "You started at a lower rank, as the rest of us did. You haven't always been at the top."

Tapeesa glances over at Vieno before back to you with a...

"My family?" they ask, their eyes widening slightly as though not familiar with the term. "They're not really part of my life. They certainly didn't help me get where I am." They spread their arms out and indicate at their body. "I did that all by myself. Well, with some acquired help from others."

My question is for my favorite bitey agent F (whom I am 100% ride or die for): do you ever struggle with having a different origin than the other members of Unit Bravo? Is any part of your carefree (and adorable!) personality due to any feelings towards or from your past?

Farah licks at her top lip and leans an arm on the chair to angle close to you. "Adorable, huh?"

"Please focus on the question," Adam interrupts.

"Fine, fine," Farah replies with a wave of her hand...
