Chapter 78 - I Have No Name But I Must Scream

Ok! Final altered POV, I promise. This one was difficult as fuck, it was hard writing something with no name and with such limited sense of self beneath the self it wears as its "job". Still, I hope that the implications leak through, for it and for its family. It seems that something is afoot that is hidden even from the Empire's eyes...

Chapter 77 - This Guy Could Use Some Pai-Sho And A Good Tea...

New Excerpt! Shin Ren my favorite chew toy! Oh I have such hopes for him. Trying to use this as a way to reframe my lovelies and make sure I remember to weave their narratives back together!

Shin Ren ignores the voice.

Chapter 76 - A Quick Step Back And A Sexy Lil Spin

It's a little late, but today was way busier than anticipated so bleh. Double excerpt chapter for the win, though! A little check in with lovelies old and new. I haven't forgotten our extended cast, don't you worry, and I intend for them to be a lot more important in arc 3. See you all tomorrow!

Chapter 74 - Family Spats and Taurus's Briefly Good Day

It's a late submission but I think you'll find it worthwhile. Absolute fucking hell, I am really glad I slept on this a bit. Gonna be discussing a posting schedule soon, because this chapter showed me what a difference a bit of rest can do.

Chapter 73 - All According To (Definitely Not Lethal) Cake-kaku

Please note: Cake means Keikaku. Portal references and bad japanese dub memes, unite! I'm very proud of Raika in this one, and I'm really liking her growth, even if her plots for now are a mix of luck, balls, a good opportunity and a read on people. Enjoy!

Chapter 72 - Trauma, Turmoil, And Turbulence - Perfect Weather For A Plot

The others make it down to the lab maybe twenty minutes later. She can’t imagine she’s all that hard to track, Qi signature or no, in this place of perfect silence and death. Or maybe Jun Vral just sent a snake into every tunnel and room and this is just the first one to find her.

Still, she only really needed a few minutes to set the scene.

She takes the bag from around the corpse’s body, rifling through its contents quickly. A shard of Cold Sunstone gets placed on the tabl...

Chapter 71 - Two Truths And A Liar

Your guess who the better liar is, Raika with her imaginary friends or her newest bud and his self delusion. Took a break yesterday, as y'all saw, and I think it was the right call, cause this one came out foine as hell.

Chapter 70 - A New Ally, A New Horror, A New Idea, Oh My!

Alright! I am iffy on the ending, here; the intent is good, Raika being sneaky and trying to find a way to fuck over Zhoulong and Taurus, makes a lot of sense, but I'm wondering if it should wait a bit. I'd love to know your thoughts on it! It's not my favorite chapter, even as it gives our favorite baby boy a new role in the plot, my beloved. Input is appreciated on this one, I want to make sure I'm providing the best content I can for y'all!

Chapter 67 - Just "Prototyping" Some New Ideas

In all seriousness, I sincerely and severely need to change my sleeping habits. The writing is ok for now, but I feel like it's suffered a bit, though it might just be me feeling the itch and aching to do more and better. I do like this chapter, though! Time for some real fun with some all-new gadgets she has.

Chapter 61.5 - Queer Sex And Pet Names

As promised! First nsfw chapter! This one took a while, I am NOT used to writing or reading smut as much as I used to be, and while this has definitely helped me dust off some skills, it's still just a first step thang. Still turned out hot, though! Enjoy, they gay as hell in this one. Content warning, if it wasn't obvious, there is some straight up gay sex under the cut here, involving some ladies and a nonbinary baddie.

Chapter 60 - If Only For a Breath, to Breathe

Raika has been having a time with all this, and I felt like she need a chapter of recovery.

Chapter 57 - Splintered, Afraid, and Alone (No Matter Who Tries Otherwise)

Yeah okay, next poll will be clearer, cause I ended up needing / craving a Shin Ren POV anyways lol. I... did not expect him to have changed so much so fast. Something is wrong, and I think his journey will be more of a spiral than even Raika's, at least until we hit bottom and see what he becomes and if he can crawl out. Enjoy, my loves! Next chapter we're back to Raika!

Alright my lovelies! Raika is undergoing a wonderful little change and a wildly fucked up experience, which may take her a minute! In the meantime, who would you all like to see an excerpt of?
