Permanent (For Now)

“What can I do for you?” Almost as soon as the bell clattered and rang against the door, the man sitting idly at the tattoo parlor's front desk had looked up from his magazine and greeted Jay. It was anybody's guess what color the walls were originally, or what the desk might have been made of. Ever...

The Girl at the Rock Show, Part 2

“Now is that anyway to greet me?” She didn't seem to register that she was in any danger, and perhaps she wasn't. Jay's grip on her wrists was loosening with every passing moment until finally, with a rough shove against the chipped-paint wall of the warehouse, he let her go. “What do you want?” “A...

The Girl at the Rock Show, Part 1

Jay was very thankful for the extra pair of earplugs Njork had given him before they'd gotten to the show. Normally, Jay was able to go concerts and listen to the music just fine without protections. There was a time or two when his ears would ring for the next day or so, but he never seemed to suff...

Guess I'll take a shot at this. It'll get my buddies off my back.

Jay.

Circuitry of the Wolf

This...this wasn't good. Usually, failed attempts to contact his Goddess through meditation ended with Jay's eyes fluttering open, much later than it felt like, back where he started at. Hours would pass like minutes, he'd come to, and go about his day. This-this was obviously a failure. But why wa...

Eyes on the Prize

The trio of orderlies weaved their way through the empty and quiet Redmond Clinic to the back loading dock. Antiseptic white walls, unused medical equipment, and bright fluorescent lights soon gave way to the darkness of early morning. Jay sat down first, at the edge of the concrete cantilevering ou...

Perchance to Dream: The Aftermath

July 18, early morning Redmond Clinic The sound of rhythmically beeping machines and the random clicking of some other, unknown device was what woke Jay up from his long sleep. It didn't seem to throw him in the slightest. He didn't cry out, didn't look around rapidly in a panic, didn't even start ...

Perchance to Dream: The (Anti)-Climax, Part 2

((Author's Note: This post contains violence that might be considered graphic.)) The guardsman's outfit was an odd mish-mash of modern and medieval. He wore simple leather armor and breeches, with a silver badge that identified him as a member of the guard. On one hip was a scabbard for what appear...

Perchance to Dream: The (Anti)-Climax, Part 1

July 16 Dockside It was just after midday, but an impermeable layer of grey clouds kept much of the sunlight from falling on the city, although it did little to cool the air. It was hot, muggy, and there was little in the way of breeze to bring relief to those unfortunate enough to be outside that ...

Perchance to Dream: Interlude

July 8 Java Hell, WestEnd Jay didn't want to dream, but he didn't have a choice. He didn't want to sleep, either, but he didn't have a choice in that matter as well. The mind was willing, but the flesh was exhausted. Bruised, battered, cut. His grey hooded sweatshirt was stained with grass, mud, hi...

Perchance to Dream: Girding for War

June 19 He had woken up groggy, the day after the full moon, thanks to the large dosage of tranquilizers administered to him by Candy. After the usual pleasantries between the pair, Jay had left her studio apartment and started the long walk through the marketplace towards Dockside. A long walk, ac...

Jay hadn't meant for it to come across as cursing at Adel or Poppy, but the next words out of his mouth were curses. At the pain, at the fact he was going to have to probably take his mask off. With his good hand, he undid the mask and laid it on the ground, next to his baseball bat, still glowing f...

Soerl's eyes opened up again. He had to see where the target was, of course. The words to the spell continued, though the minstrel quickly noted where Poppy was in the grass. He didn't want to hurt her by accident, after all. Poppy didn't seem to care. She actually raised the bottle in the air, layi...

Adel started to twist the katar for good measure, but such theatrics cost him a bit of precious time. As the large masked being howled and started to move, Adel jerked back, pulling his katar with him. He wasn't quite fast enough to avoid the tip of the machete grazing his chest. Hissing in pain, he...

"Hey! Hey, wait!" The bottle of booze dropped to the ground and spilled out simply because she was so surprised. But, almost immediately she was giggling again, and trying to look around. The long blonde hair in her face stopped most of that nonsense, though. "What is it? What was it?...
