    Mystery Continent ~ Southern Beach
    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...

    The White Elephant in the Room Playground

    "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?"

    The White Elephant in the Room Playground

    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."

    The White Elephant in the Room Playground

    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...

    The White Elephant in the Room Playground

    Abigail nodded. "Fair enough. Telekinesis wasn't too hard to wrap my head around, but conjuring water from nowhere is. If our species were reversed, I'm sure you'd have gotten a hold of telekinesis and I'd be pretty much stuck." She was still eyeballing the ski lift. Being unable to do...

    The White Elephant in the Room Playground

    "He was forced to pick a target when the electronics appointment him a 'prophet.' Does that count? I mean, sure, he's the most innocent one here, but it might not be good enough for this bullshit soul nonsense." She stopped to think for a moment. "On that note... if we don't have souls, we...

    The White Elephant in the Room Playground

    "Yeah, some of us are humans anyways. Probably wise not to bet on us having souls in the first place. We normally don't, although the committee has promised they managed to give us souls, somehow." She shrugged. "Go figure." She looked back at the daunting step up to the ski lift. "Mind giving...

    Sand Continent ~ Sand Dune of Spirits

    Celeste followed Brisa up to Sword. Thoughts whirled in his head. He stared at Sword, lying weakened on the ground. He took a deep breath and focused to suppress his corruption. Those thoughts weren't his... Or at least weren't normal for him. This wasn't Darkwhite anymore, this was Sword...

    The White Elephant in the Room Playground

    Abigail picked a set of ski equipment that looked vaguely ralts sized, gave the metal components a quick tap to make sure they were made of fey-friendly metals, then quickly thanked Rally and departed for the rest of the group. "Welcome to the past seven days and four nights. This place is, as...

    Abigail looked at Rally. "So... Are we going to fit me with skis or should I be leaving?"

    The White Elephant in the Room Playground

    It took Abigail a moment to parse those sentences. "If I am translating correctly, you're wanting me to ski down from the summit? Sure. Why not. I've been skiing once before, what's the worst that could happen..." "Funny." Abigail was unamused. "I also was curious about that, but I think it...

    Abigail shrugged. "Everyone I've scanned has returned clean results. I suspect there's a trick that allows someone to evade investigation. The results of my scans with the Lens of Nia aren't worth much anymore."
