This next year, we're hoping t...

“Who are you?” her captor demanded.
He used the exact same wording that this one infuriating youtube commercial advertising beer did, so it took Regina a moment to straighten out her emotions in response to that confusing input. She told him her name. The grip on her shoulder became a little pai...

The fucker just up and left her.
'There might,' Regina reflected, 'be some very good reasons that Ando-san was surprised to see me with Jiraiya. I'm going to guess that he is unreliable, uncommunicative, and inconsiderate.'
Also an incurable liar.

Diary,
To-day, Edmund and Victor returned from their voyage abroad. I had missed my brother and Victor terribly, and am delighted now that they have returned safely.
Of course they brought us presents. Victor brought me you, my de...

Consciousness came slowly, and as always, she tried to cling to the edge of sleep by keeping her eyes solidly shut. She felt like hell- whatever she’d been out doing last night, she was paying for it now. She was contorted in an especially hellish sleeping position that she just knew was going to fuck up ...

There were too many bodies for one woman to bury.
Reiko set her jaw and tried not to breathe in death through the cloth tied over her face as she searched the house for valuables. There was no point to worrying that she had been exposed to the curse- ...

turn left
“In 400 meters, turn right.”
“Thanks,” Lindsay said absently. She considered turning her music up. But she didn’t, because she was too tired to navigate without the friendly robot lady. She’d missed three exits already on her drive home from the concert. And ugh, she had work tomorrow. 2018-11-29 09:33:24 +0000 UTC View Post
sketchy Sakura pt 2
She found the wayward family in a cheap inn. Sakura had been able to track them down by asking about her cousin and little nephew and niece. They had been traveling under the names and story that she’d manufactured for them, so they had some sense.
“I didn’t think you would come.” Nagao’s voice was so relieved ...

Hey sorry!
Sorry for the wait- soon the last installment of Genevieve and at least one full chapter of Regina will be posted.
Had some less than pleasant things come up- thank you for your patience and patronage!
Danjiri Fighting Festival
Every area has their own danjiri. They’re like little portable shrines and they represent the area. And every areas danjiri festival is different. I’ve seen them taken into the ocean, carried through town, and raced down mountains.
But sometimes they just get all the danjiri carriers drunk and have them shove th...

Dear Diary,
I… think we may have made a mistake in using the talking board. Perhaps I am too sensitive for such games, but I swear that I saw something moving out of the corner of my eye several times to-day!
I told Victor and he laughed at my cowardice. But the mood in the house is st...

"Late night?" Kanae looked up from her clipboard, expression caught between amusement and judgement.
Fuck off. Sakura flashed her supervisor a bright smile and click-clacked her way into the bank on her immaculate black heels. "I feel wonderful, and ready to process the loan paperwork," she said. She knew that...

She sulked. There was no other word for it. This group was her only chance at getting home, so she swallowed her pride and let Bethany tutor her. She could gather information about the humans on her own, through the classes and the library available to recruits for use as a reference and for leisure.

Gradually, he realized that something wasn't right. It was about the time that Tsunade sobered up enough to push him away. Jiraiya frowned, feeling unease in his stomach. He leaned over to check the sun to gauge the time. First half of the afternoon, still.
He didn't actually know what time it had bee...

Great Lakes and Expectations chp 9 draft
The lobby cleared as the movie was about to start, and Regina felt exhausted.
But also, kind of curious?

He laughed. [chotto? Romansueigadesu.]

She went to work in the morning, because she honestly didn’t know what else to do. She was so tired and shaken that she considered calling in, but she honestly didn’t want to hang around her apartment and just wait for something bad to happen.
At absolute best, it would be a waste of a day off, and she only had 13 of those...
