Crow waited for the last and rather critical member of the Brain Trust to arrive at the meeting. It was a virtual space Samantha had helped design based on original intentions for the inner workings of her pyramid monument. It had a built-in dress code that, at first, Crow found stupid and tiresome. But, seeing it all in action, and him and the ...
2024-12-17 16:18:00 +0000 UTC View PostAs always, they awoke on the ground. Dax shot up almost instantly on her rear with her hands propped behind her, eyes wide with shock. Then she laughed and looked at Samantha with an amazed grin. “He feels the same way! It’s gonna work! Yes, yes, yes, it’s gonna work! Fuck yes!”
Fighting back a grin at what her fr...
2024-12-14 16:06:35 +0000 UTC View PostDrumming her fingers on the table as she bounced through all the possibilities in her head, Sammy glared balefully at the orb. “You’ve really made this difficult, haven’t you?”
“Have I?” The orb seemed amused. “Or have I simply dispelled your quaint delusions of familiarity? Have I confused and deceiv...
2024-12-13 16:26:13 +0000 UTC View PostThe void of so many sojourns returned once more. Samantha was merged with the Fortuneteller once more, caught into a familiar and strange body lodged out of time and space. One might deduce it a ‘higher place,’ and perhaps they’d be right on some level, but it didn’t quite feel that way. It felt separated. Off. Outside everything 2024-12-11 16:18:33 +0000 UTC View Post
Sammy staunchly suppressed a laugh at Dax calling Canmore a ‘stud.’ Well, he isn’t ugly by any stretch, but neither is Dax. And besides, past lives are tugging them. They’re each other’s ideal, I bet. “Dax, he’d be lucky to have you. Don’t make silly assumptions, hmm? Did he respond at al...

2024-12-06 15:24:22 +0000 UTC View Post“I am honored again, Emissary Gelmak.” Sammy smiled as she took the little emblem up, wondering how effective it would be. Her Ring of Shield Projection certainly wasn’t impossible to top. She’d had it since she’d first created her Avatar, practically, and her temp shield spells outclassed it, though naturally, those were...

2024-12-03 16:19:20 +0000 UTC View PostSammy and Azure determined they’d arrange the betrothal at a later date left flexible due to their ever chaotic lives, but certainly relatively soon at some pocket of free time. The wedding in contrast would probably wait longer for a more settled period. As with most things, it was slated for ‘playing by ear.’

Redberry had a mixed bundle of emotions to this, but exasperation rose strongest. “Alright, but let’s not get carried away.”
Sammy giggled. “This has been such a wonderful day! It can’t get any better, really.”

2024-11-20 16:19:11 +0000 UTC View PostIn the throne room, Azure suddenly seized and fell to her hands and knees. Sammy was there like lightning to take hold of her. “Azure! Are you okay?!”
The Naugite did not respond, her body shaking, her eyes having gone to the back of her head. Her mind was completely elsewhere.
