    Mystery Continent ~ Southern Beach

    "Ah. I won't bother you on the subject any longer, then. I wouldn't know anything of 'Noblesse Oblige' anyways." Celeste was worried he'd killed the mood, and made everything tense again. As if they need any more tension in their lives... He readily accepted the subject change. "They compare...

    Mystery Continent ~ Southern Beach

    Celeste almost choked on his tea. "You had nine older siblings! Gosh, I think one was enough for me. Your mother must've been busy." He took a moment to regain his composure before continuing. "I mean. I am sorry to hear about the state of your family. You deserve better. In any case, I'm glad...

    Mystery Continent ~ Southern Beach

    Celeste nodded and accepted the tea, taking a sip. It felt warm in his stomach. "Home was quiet for me. My egg was taken in by a delphox. My mother. She had a daughter already, so I have and older sister. Her name is Salac." He stared at the surface of the tea. "Our village was built for its...

    Mystery Continent ~ Southern Beach

    Celeste had never really seen much of Icetales' eyes as a vulpix. As Icetales looked into his eyes, he couldn't help but notice how brilliant they were. It was like the entirety of the whites were sapphire instead. He suddenly felt self-conscious about his eyes. He hoped the contact lenses were...

    The White Elephant in the Room Playground

    Abigail grimaced. "I'm going to go get some fresh air. Enjoy... whatever this is."

    Mystery Continent ~ Southern Beach

    Celeste's eyes lit up. "Icetales! It's been too long. Last we spent time together was... What, the party? You were still a vulpix back then..." He laughed half-heartedly. "Life here has been quite the tempest since then, has it not? We've just been going and going, with barely the time to catch...

    Review Blitz 2021: Post-Event Feedback

    Those are only the words that would otherwise count for nothing. Everything else would be at 200 words per chapter, which is more generous than the original 250. Edit: Nope, I did make a typo. It was supposed to be 300 words per point.

    Review Blitz 2021: Post-Event Feedback

    On second thought, this is over complicated and I've thought a better way to do more is less the same thing. Or, two slightly different better ways. It not only is simpler, it also makes life easier for Kint. Making things easy for Kint is nice. The change is making it so that you get one point...

    Threadmarks: R8: Icetales and Celeste Gaze at Stars

    The winds on the beach were slower than their usual speed, having dropped to a mournful whistling, as if even the air itself was feeling the bitterness of the team's situation. With less wind to stir them up, the waves that usually crashed against the grey sands had relaxed to lapping gently...

    Review Blitz 2021: Post-Event Feedback

    First of all, more variety in challenges means that more fics will qualify, not fewer. Nothing about the weekly element encouraged each to review different fics from each other, it was "entirely possible" for us to all choose the same fics, but that just... doesn't happen. Likewise, people...

    Review Blitz 2021: Post-Event Feedback

    What if the points system was something more like "each review of a chapter (to a minimum of 200 words each) or each 300 words, whichever is greater. I don't know if that's phrased clearly, but what I'm getting at is this: If you review multiple chapters, your words convert to points more...

    "Sorry, Wii." Abigail shrugged. "It looks like I'm the last lass standing. There's nobody left here for me to date."

    The White Elephant in the Room Playground

    Abigail scoffed at the Wii. "Lucky for you, I don't have one here. What're you whining about, anyways? Need us to play more games? Gonna flip out again with the fucking eyeballs? What's your deal?"

    Abigail glowered at Zeke hiding beneath his desk. "I am an adult, by human standards. You do not need to hide under your desk. This is pathetic."

    Abigail returned to the group. "I am alive. Or maybe I'm dead and I'm just to stubborn to notice yet. How are things going?"

    Destiny Village ~ Central Crossroads

    Celeste groaned. "Are you kidding me? You gave it to yourself? Brilliant. You did the single most obvious, predictable thing possible, and in doing so, you undermined the entire purpose of the randomness. I bet he didn't even need to be told who had the stone: You're the first one I'd have...

    Water Continent ~ Revelation Mountain Summit

    Celeste scratched his head. "Everyone on Team Spectrum was aware of our stealth mission ahead of time, no? That means that the only way one of us could be the turntail is if Giovanni let us free everyone but Ho-Oh without a fight. I would say the odds are in favour of those who were not aware of...

    The White Elephant in the Room Playground

    Abigail stared at the slope, examining it. Under normal circumstances, she would, as a second time skier, never touch a slope of such difficulty. On the other hand, Rally had made it sound like the slope itself was based on her soul, so maybe it was safe, and worst case scenario she died, which...

    Sand Continent ~ Sand Dune of Spirits

    Celeste paused his escape for one moment. He was just itching to quip back at Giovanni. "Gee, thanks for the friendly warning. Y'know, we had been planning to save this world from you, but I guess we didn't really consider the fact that you might try to stop us from foiling you. Maybe we'll...

    The White Elephant in the Room Playground

    Those sentences... Were the single greatest clusterfuck of pronouns she'd ever heard. In her world, it would've been an insult to refer to a deity as either mortal gender, or like an object. Yet Rally had done all three. In only two sentences. All things considered, it was hardly the weirdest...
