L'majha counts the coins as she makes her way through the Chocobo Forest to where she parked the beat-up old Garlond GL-IS. "300, 400, 500, 520, 530, 535, 536, 537... 538 gil.""It's too bad that you left in such a hurry," Eos bubbles, wings fluttering as she perches on L'majha's shoulder. "I'm sure that last huntress would have given you a bonus if you'd fed her.""Yes, well, I'd really rather not stick around and risk her going for a different kind of meal," L'majha snips with a brief glance at

Kh'amiya sat up in bed, looking over her sleeping girlfriend in silence. She desperately wanted to join Sute in what seemed to be a rare night of peaceful sleep, but tonight her mind and body had decided otherwise - sleep had eluded her most skillfully.A finger trailed along Sute's pretty white scales, and Kh'amiya's lips contorted to count them silently. One... two... three... four...Sute's nose twitched in her sleep and she grunted, and Kh'amiya lifted her head, peeking over. "Sorry," she whis

Kharis Inaralei wiped his brow, pushing through the brush and gazing down at the valley below. It had been an arduous journey, riddled with danger, and it was only by some miracle that he had managed to avoid the myriad stomachs of the monsters and bandits on the way here. But at long last, the gleaming capital city Spiritscar was laid out before him like a child's playset. Here, his long, pointed ears and small size would not mark him as different and strange but as one of our own, a Varlyn jus

The exterior of the little cottage Arietta had managed to secure in the North Ward - the cottage that was now Kiise's home as well - was calm and cozy, the usual for a late night. It was a sign of relief; the warm and comfortable bed waited inside, and perhaps some leftovers from Arietta's dinner as well. Kiise had struck out in searching for a meal of her own on this particular night. Not for lack of trying, of course; she'd been doing her best to "recruit" some new "believers," but none had be

"Out of the way, I'm here to see the undisputed musical champion of all Nova and I will not be delayed," Brin announced proudly, strutting past the pathetic-looking maid with gifts in hand. "She's expecting me."The maid hurried after her, rushing to catch up and spread her arms over the door to the princess's bedchamber to block the imposing duchess from entering. "Wait - my lady, the princess has forbidden visitors and gifts, I understand you two are becoming, err, close, and the guards might l

The Fell Priestess Amaryllis passed through the cell door, holding her usual collection bucket in both hands with the jar of lubricant rattling around inside. It was time for the daily milking of the slave formerly known as the Divine One... Alear.The door was open already; Lady Veyle was inside, bouncing enthusiastically on the shackled Alear's lap as the two sat, face-to-face, on the toilet. A sadistic smirk twisted the Fell Princess's features as she locked eyes with her sister. "Come on, dea

"Wow..." Nicole breathed, stepping further into the foyer of the massive cat adoption center. "It's so beautiful..."Her voice echoed off the empty halls. For all the signposts of cats, displays of cats, glass-walled cat climbing play areas... there was a shocking lack of cats here. She wandered deeper in, peering around. There were monsters roaming outside, but this place seemed empty enough. Maybe there would even be people here. It seemed like it had been created by people... though the hallwa

The soft thump of Kazuko's hand hitting the wall beside Sara's head seemed to silence all other sounds. Time stopped as Kazuko met Sara's pale blue eyes with his own intense silver eyes, holding her transfixed."Sara... I can't watch this without intervening any longer. You deserve so much better than she's giving you," Kazuko said, voice calm and serious. He breathed out slowly, shaking his head. "She's my sister. I care about her just like you do. But don't you deserve to be cared for, too?"Sar
