2025-05-21 17:49:24 +0000 UTC View PostNow, while James truly did run to Silhouette's office, he didn't stop there. Once inside, he locked the door, stashed his clothes in a hidden compartment, and slithered his way through the secret shadow paths embedded in the walls to rush the entrance, meeting up with members of Mischief watching, hidden in dark corners, as t...
2025-05-20 20:53:16 +0000 UTC View PostThe day after his little escapade in the ruins, James was back to work.
"Yo, James!"
"Hi there, Maggie."
Thankfully, work now included someone he liked hanging out with on the regular. Part of the Silhouette persona dictated he had to be aloof and keep some distance away from his people, and those he did enj...
2025-05-13 19:34:13 +0000 UTC View Post"Hey kids, I'm home!"
"Hi, Dad!"
While they weren't easy to see, James' human form did feature lips, lips that were presently curved in a smile. His children were grouped up on the couch, watching TV. Well, they were watching a streaming service program on the TV, since apparently the current Captain Cyan run on T...
2025-05-06 20:09:39 +0000 UTC View PostThe undead was outright shaking as it stepped toward the now-open door, its eldritch green flames dancing across its bony fingers. Its half a head twitched left and right as it stared at the group outside despite its lack of eyes. Its mummified skin cracked with the extreme movements, audible even over the shuffling of its ov...

2025-04-24 18:43:47 +0000 UTC View PostThe chamber was... Not quite what James expected. Doctor Bones described it as the likely personal space of Neiclaz's leader, and he supposed in a sense it was. Yes, there was a bedroom in a... Well, not a corner since the room was a massive cylinder, but it was there, against a wall, with a strange yet neat curved look. Seei...

2025-04-14 14:59:35 +0000 UTC View PostThe contract turned out to be a very pleasant surprise for James. It was straightforward, short, and he would even argue it was in his favor. He still consulted his colleagues and allies, chief of which Nanyet and Blake, experts when it came to such contracts, to be sure he wasn't being deceived, but they confirmed his initia...
2025-04-08 20:05:29 +0000 UTC View PostJames wasn't expecting this sort of invitation.
"You wish for me to join you on an expedition?"
The archaeologist responsible for the relative peace of the Sunken City nodded with a broad smile before pausing.
"Well, more of an exploration than an expedition, but yes! You see..."
The m...
2025-04-01 17:49:51 +0000 UTC View PostGreetings, Silhouette.
Word of your achievements has reached us. Doctor Bones does not care about the politics and conflicts among the various groups inhabiting Sunken City, as long as they respect her rules. She much prefers to remain neutral in all matters.
That being sa...
2025-03-25 20:41:57 +0000 UTC View Post"Aren't you worried your two technology-aligned subordinates will get at each other's throats?"
Mesker Duskenfer the Third, respected demonologist and pyromancer, was as nonchalant as always when making conversation, despite the menagerie of blazing beasts he had conjured to fight Silhouette, commanded safely from the s...

2025-03-11 22:07:18 +0000 UTC View PostWhen the lady from the Shadow Commando directed Adam to what was supposedly Techlord's current project - after leaving a note in the bedroom to tell the Doc where he was going, of course - he had expected a workshop, maybe some defenses. He knew that Ivan was here to upheave the former orphanage, but surely if Techlord was wo...
2025-03-11 22:03:27 +0000 UTC View PostDecanov's metallic eyebrow twitched.
A fool would blame the problem on a faulty circuit, but he was no such imbecile. He had modified this body himself, all within the guidelines of his father's already great design. There was no room for such a silly mistake.
The next conclusion then would be that this was a natu...
2025-03-05 21:45:27 +0000 UTC View PostThe rest of the tour went splendidly. By that, James meant there had been no problems or interruptions. Decanov had been grumpy as usual, doing some final checks and maintenance before he would have to spend some time down in the Sunken City to work on the Shadow Den. The only noteworthy thing was the man mentioning he would ...

2025-02-17 21:07:55 +0000 UTC View Post"And these two fine gentlemen dressed in black and white are Larry and Barry. They're the boss' first employees and some of the most loyal members of the crew. If Silhouette and Techlord aren't around, they're the next ones in charge."
Truth be told, the two men had changed a lot since their time in the slums. Yes, Larr...
2025-02-17 20:48:54 +0000 UTC View PostMaggie was very giddy as she signed the papers that would cement her place as one of Silhouette's employees - the shadow man himself sitting in front of her, on the other side of his desk. Thankfully the paper of her contract was white rather than the typical black that occupied the entire office, and the pen he had given her...

Saray: So, what did everyone think of yesterday's underwater hockey match?
KillLaKrill: The Octos were good, but man, their goalie really dropped the goal. It's no wonder the Water Wombats decimated them.

2025-01-27 18:31:05 +0000 UTC View PostA day after dealing with that cheap Villain invasion problem, James wasn't surprised to see a familiar scaly face come knocking at the Penumbral Palace. Well, technically she entered the shop normally and just asked Larry and Barry if Silhouette was available, but the turn of phrase stood. She wasn't alone, though her escort ...
2025-01-25 21:16:37 +0000 UTC View PostSadly for James, his captive wasn't quite as informative as he had hoped. He was merely an intermediary for his client to contact those pitiful Supers, if they could even be called that. He didn't know who hired him, the money and instructions being dropped at random points in the city he was informed of via anonymous text me...

2024-12-30 21:01:33 +0000 UTC View PostJames was very annoyed right now.
He stared at the struggling wannabe Villain he was choking with a tentacle, the man with some sort of lizard costume gasping for air. This idiot had had the bright idea to try and break into the Penumbral Palace at the end of the day, presumably in hopes of kidnapping James or something...
2024-12-20 20:34:56 +0000 UTC View Post"See, Junior, this is why you always have to double-check your welding. When you're working, you might be too focused on the whole to realize some weaknesses in the finer details."
"Origin..."
Sam nodded at his child's remark as he fixed a few cracks in the spot he pointed out. While their speech was still heavily...
