    Summary

    It's two weeks before rent is due, and I don't have a job. All I have to work with are 2000₽ and a trubbish that moved in because I never remember to take out my trash.

    She is a cute trubbish, though.

    Summary

    Years pass. People grow. The world moves on without you. The Angel grew content with that for a while. It still hurt whenever they thought of the world that had long banished them, but something new pulled them out of the depths. Now, the Angel walks amongst friends who swear that they will not be banished. Kris, Susie, and Ralsei mean everything to them. Maybe this time, their banishment doesn't have to be as set in stone as they thought.

    The Roaring comes. The light falters. Everyone falls.

    A desperate connection is established in an attempt to save what remains of the Angel. If they fall, all hope will be lost. The world that banished the Angel long ago has forgotten them, but they have not forgotten it. This connection will have to be enough. Even if the rules have changed irrevocably, the Angel's one goal remains the same: Find them.

    Summary

    The SOUL is gone. Drifted off into the night sky, another star in the Heavens… but in the world left below its last witnesses remain; none know the full story, though all know something is wrong.

    Susie grits her teeth and fights to find answers. Ralsei struggles with the new shape of the world. Noelle seeks knowledge and the truest version of herself. Kris gradually succumbs to the darkness that terrifies them the most: their very own shadow. Drawn into the depths to find purpose, and truth.

    But what might they find? Friends in the dark. Echoes of voices, unheard but ever-hoping. Distractions so very fleeting, failing to blot out venomous truths. Whispers on the phonelines. A city drowning in the dark, a crime-ridden and law-ridden cesspit, terrorized by something far worse than either. A P.I. working an impossible case. Despair, pain, hope, and a final descent into darkness.

    Through it all, you’ll need each other. Your help, your trust, your strength, and you'll need to plan and struggle and fight to reach the truth through the confusion, the highs, the lows... and of course: the omnipresent darkness.

    Darkness cannot exist without something to cast it. Darkness may be the least of your trials.

    Summary

    Bradycardia
    noun. Slowness of the heart rate, usually fewer than 60 beats per minute in an adult human.

    Metanarrative Bradycardia
    noun. As bradycardia, but with heartbeats timed to occur exactly once per chapter.

    Or

    Kris wakes up on the day they didn't know would be important, and finds that the heart in their chest is barely moving at all. To most people, this would be a medical emergency. To Kris, it's a combination of agency and not actively dying that they'd all but given up on ever feeling again.
    Well. Far be it from them to take hold of whatever freedom they can find.

    Or

    How do you replicate the chaotic, often antagonistic relationship between a game's protagonist and player in a text based medium? You let the comment section command by committee. For better or worse.

    Summary

    Amy is pretty sure this girl should be dead. As it is, she'd need 24/7 healing not to die from most of her organs being gone and having basically no body fat to replace them with. Well, caring for a patient is as good as excuse as any to get away from Carol.

    She's bringing Victoria with her though, obviously.

     

    Taylor wants to get as far away from the Dallon-Pelham Torment Nexus as possible. Which is a problem, since she's still missing most of her organs.
