VOCT2 Round 4: Spaceship Spelunking

By Renor (Jahan)



The mousegirl winced a little as she the room finally stopped shaking, bounced and tossed about in the aftermath of the Hidden Bird's impromptu landing, a few pieces of bacon still clutched in her hands. Nff, she wished she hadn't eaten before that, her stomach still turning over after that landing. But-well, she couldn't just let bacon go to waste, feeling ill or no! Stuffing god-food (yay bacon!) into her cheeks and chewing quietly,

Intermission 3: Discussion and Dreaming

By Renor (Jahan)


The papers were spread haphazardly along the floor-a cluster here, a pile there, with the mousegirl sitting in the midst of it, trying to make sense of the information she'd been given.



So many disparate sources of information. Some of it was useful, and sensible in and of itself. Papers and articles on various AI attempts, all ultimately failures. Genetic algorithms-a lot of headway had been made in that field of programming

VOCT2 Round 3: Amusement Park Antics

By Renor (Jahan)


Lillan's ears folded back as the song and dance routine came to an end, her jaw dropping just a little. That had been.. she wasn't sure if there was a word for it. Epic? Bizarre? Bah, now wasn't really the time to dwell on such things, was it?


So, an amusement park? Damnit, this would be tricky. Geomancy was always harder in built up areas-everything always felt so `busy'. If the buildings were made of natural materials, it was easi

Intermission Two: Venerable-seeming Vulapines

By Renor (Jahan)


Lillan felt the wind gently whip through her hair as she clambered up above deck, getting away from the hubbub down below. She hadn't spent enough time up here-feeling the wind in her hair, watching the clouds go by-


-Listening to strange rabbit-foxes make clicking and trilling noises.


Lillan's brow furrowed slightly as she spotted the vulapine on the deck, a gentle tug drawing her closer. Such a curious song he sang-th

VOCT2 Intermission: Wet-Mouse Wonderings

By Renor (Jahan)



Laying atop her covers, the nude, damp mousegirl stared up at the ceiling, her arms resting behind her head, her soaked (and now sink-washed) clothing draped haphazardly over chairs.


She should be excited. After all, Lillan had won her second round, her very first win of the tournament. She was faintly flushed from the effort of the battle, her toes curling as she felt some of the fluid she'd melted Jax into sloshing lightly i

VOCT 2 Round 2: Mudsoaked Mires

(Title subject to change)

by Renor/Jahan



Lillan skulked in the back of the crowd as the contestants gathered on the lowest deck, grudgingly taking the stave offered by Danny as she half-listened to skunk explaining the current situation. The grey-furred mousegirl was dimly aware that he'd mentioned her name, and why she was still here, almost visibly flinching when she was pointed out. She gave a quick nod to skunk as he wished her luck, before dropping

VOCT ROUND 1: Rockfall

By Renor (Jahan)

The grey furred mouse bounced eagerly on the balls of her feet as the cable car chugged along towards the mountains, staring raptly out one of the windows. Or, rather, Lillan was standing with her hands on the window and her face rammed up against it, pink nose smudging the glass, the white chest-and-stomach fur running from under her clothes and up along her neck displayed for anyone outside to see. Her long, furred tail stuck out through a small hole
