“Trick or treat!”“Well, aren’t you all well-dressed tonight. Those are some impressive costumes!” Holding out their bags, the three watched eagerly as the kindly older lady dropped a small handful of candy into each of their bags. Giving her a wave as they walked back to the sidewalk, the three wasted no time in looking through the latest additions to their confectionary collections.“Not a bad haul so far. How long did you want to keep going?”“Well, we don’t have class tomo

It’s said that there are certain places where you can find almost anything you want, if you know where to look. Ul’dah, Limsa Lominsa, Radz-at-Han, Kugane, and others besides - such major trading hubs offer access to untold arrays of strange and exotic novelties for the curious.Stepping through the markets of Kogane Dori, the white-haired Xaela was taking her time inspecting the different stalls and shops. Not looking for anything in particular, she was just enjoying the opportunity to see

Looking outside through one of the windows near the front of the building, Rhea narrowed her eyes as she scanned the street outside. This time, there should be at least a few people out and about, but there was nobody at all that she could see.That meant that they likely knew something that she didn’t.At least she didn’t need to leave things completely unattended; ordinarily she wouldn’t have wanted to leave at any point while one of the shipments was at the trading post, but Nelly and Ad

Watching as the racers sped around the far side of the improvised circuit, Darla had to admit that even though this wasn’t how she had anticipated spending her night, there might actually be something to this whole racing thing, at least when you had a stake in it.The whole thing had started a few hours ago now, when some of Harley’s friends had stopped by the diner just as they were about to close. She had met Christine and Caren a few times previously, but never for any significant length

Sighing as she looked at the checkout line snaking past in front of her, Sachiho was once again reminded of why she preferred to do her shopping on weekdays.There were just too many people, and all of them seemed to have all of the time in the world.On a weekday, a good portion of people would still be at work, which on its own meant that there would be significantly fewer people out and about during the day, which was generally enough to solve the problem on its own. Conversely, while there wo

“Alright, that should be almost all of it. Now we just need the others to arrive and we can get started.”Standing up, Stella stretched a bit to loosen a knot in her back, and looked over her handiwork on the floor one last time. Her latest purchase from Ms. V’s shop had yielded more than a few interesting options, along with a rather stern warning from Ms. V herself to make sure that she was properly prepared before attempting anything in it. Looking through it, she could tell almost im

Old moldering house in an isolated location? Check. Persistent rumors about the owners that hint at all sorts of unsavory activities? Check. Local population too scared to even go near it due to the reputation of the previous owners? Double check. And now there was apparently something inside that had developed a taste for the locals.All in all, it sounded like another straightforward job.Looking up at the large mansion, it was hard for Elizabeth to keep her expression anything resembling p

Slowly stepping through the trees, a solitary figure made her way towards a small clearing in the woods. Looking around, before nodding once, it shivered for a moment before a dense cloud sprayed into the air above them, filtering down and filling the clearing. There was a second burst, then a third, and after a moment the figure nodded again and continued moving.Now the waiting began.- - - Later that day - - -Stephanie had always loved camping.
