"So to wrap things up, follow all the rules and we can be cool. I've got no problem being friends with everyone as long as you respect me and the rules it's my job to enforce. The college is really cracking down on us this semester so I'm gonna have to play hardass if you guys make me!" Tina gave the group of students a serious look, pointing at them for emphasis. Suddenly breaking the tough act, she cracked a smile and slapped her fat belly."Remember, if you cause trouble I'll eat you!"Cassie w

"You see, your baron-ness, we slayed the dragon for you but it sort of fell in a hole as it died."Vera resisted the urge to facepalm. Why on earth did they let Lily helm the meeting? She shot a glance at Bull, the big orc meeting her gaze with a slight shrug.The baron looked less than impressed. His gray eyes narrowed and he steepled his fingers as he studied the elf."So, you tell me you've successfully tracked the beast, a red drake, to its lair in the mountains and slain it.

She'd joined them at the start and had a few drinks, got a little buzzed, but when Tori's top came off she knew it was time to split. Now she was realizing her phone charger was still in the kitchen, meaning she'd have to go right through the debauchery to

"So what's this thing supposed to do?" Lia, Erica, and Molly looked down at the vial of pale blue liquid on the table between them. The three girls, all 18 in their senior year in highschool, sat in a circle around their treasure.Erica was tall, pale, and a little awkward. She'd had braces for 3 years and was immensely jealous of her more popular older sister. Molly was right on the line between thick and chubby, her love of comics and blue hair kept her firmly out of the spotlight at school. Li

Aliya was pretty sure it was a cult.Her new employees had pitched their organization as a church, and a "spiritual collective that preaches unity", but after only a couple months of employment, she'd recorded a lot more ceremonies with hooded robes and strange chanting than she was expecting and their "Temple of Unity" was more a compound than a church.She'd been hired in as the AV Tech for the church right off of campus by pure luck. She was walking back from class to her dorm when she was appr
