For six months, the stock at UBC had slowly dropped, with several of the aged products becoming unavailable. A sign near the checkout counter explained: "Please Forgive Delays Due To Training of Additional Staff". Indeed, new faces began to appear at the sample bar and counter, and new emp...

Previous Story: Do Not Disturb The night was already late, but Inara would not be still, much less sleep. Nicklaus was on duty, having leaned hard on Juniper for child care while he worked. His apprentices were improving enough to handle day-to-day business, but Nick still needed to stop in regular...

A curve of sharp white teeth appeared in the darkness of the Seaside forest, just outside the lights of a freshly-built homestead. The smile was cruel, as its owner was cruel. The teeth were bright, where their owner was shadowed. Belligt of Myrkheim was never seen, except when he meant to be. There...

Nicklaus wrapped his great arms around mother and child together, covering them in a hug. He gestured to Mist to bring the fire-blanket over, then wrapped it around Juniper's shoulders, with enough tail left to swaddle their daughter. Daughter. Back home, a first-born daughter would bring laughter, ...

After the wedding, the reception opened in fine style, the satyrs playing light airs to set the mood but avoid drowning out conversation, the bar flowing with free drinks, and the food steadily disappearing. After a time, the bride and groom returned to the clearing, having disappeared for pictures....

Nicklaus set Juniper down more carefully. Holding hands, they turned to address the guests. Nicklaus announced, "Thank you all for sharing this moment with us. Your friendship and support got us here, and we can only repay a portion of that generosity. Since we have no idea how long we've been ...

Without heed for the flaming wings, Nicklaus wrapped his arms around Juniper and hefted her up, leaving space for the belly between them. They met at his head height, her arms around his shoulders for added support, her legs hanging in midair. They kissed hard, to the applause of the assembled guests.

Already joined by the ribboned crowns, Nicklaus and Juniper clasped hands as well. A moment after their fingers touched, the glowing tendrils of ink leapt from one hand to the other, racing up Juniper's arm to her shoulder. The pattern became more visible under her lighter dress, a parallel to the o...

Nicklaus did his best to listen quietly and soberly to Juniper's vows, but at her comment about the apple-bobbing, he couldn't help laughing along, loudly. The gleaming smile didn't leave his face as he heard the rest of her words. When she finished, he waited a moment before speaking. His expressio...

After Juniper came Roni, followed by Mist, followed by Nicklaus. The half-giant took a slow pace to avoid overtaking the others with his longer stride. They walked past a handful of witnesses, who stood as the bride came near and sat again as the groom passed. For Nicklaus, the canopy was larger tha...

In response to Mist's questions, Nicklaus waved his empty glass at the bar. "I've checked everything. Twice. Yes, I'm doing my best to stay calm." His disquiet, though, wasn't giddy anticipation or twitching hesitation. His expression looked drawn, like someone who was expecting disaster b...

[posted on behalf of the players] It was an important day, an important ceremony. Mist prepared for that accordingly, absently smiling at himself in the mirror now and then. He remembered. He’d been so nervous, and so excited and … Shaking his head, Mist let the memories pass by. He braided his hai...

Nicklaus was fortunate to emerge only three feet in midair and upright, managing a superhero landing that only lightly scuffed one knee. Better a little high than halfway up a tree or halfway under the lake! He was also solidly within the glade they’d chosen for the venue. Midday sun speared through...
