    Threadmarks: 27: Escape

    Escape Morning came far too soon. Dawn light trickled into the makeshift prison, dappling Haru's face. Despite getting relatively decent sleep, exhaustion clung to her bones. She wished she could get some more rest, but the branches shifting overhead indicated otherwise. Susana's long claws...

    Threadmarks: 26: On the same Page

    Thanks for the reviews as always! One day I'll have the energy to go back and reply to everything. On the Same Page Everything ached. Though the oran berries had alleviated the worst of Nip's pain, the evening's walk flared his bruises and scratches and burns all over again. Exhaustion made...

    Thanks for the review, Inke! I apologize that I haven't had the spoons to reply to any recent review - life's been hectic for a while now. But know I always read and appreciate every one. Alliance "Up ahead, that has to be the right place. Right, Susana?" Haru didn't look up to see where the...

    Threadmarks: 24: The Choice

    The Choice Nip stirred, waking. His head — no, his whole body — ached, dulling his senses. But as he struggled awake, he became aware of wind whipping around him, tugging at his fur. Amidst the pain, the sensation felt distant. Something sharp dug into his sides. He peeked one eye open just a...

    Sorry for taking so long! My limited writing energy was occupied elsewhere. But it's good to be back. Onwards! Pokemon on a Mission H… help… Shimmer stirred, still half-asleep, and blearily opened her eyes. Pale dawn light filtered through her window, painting patches of sunlight on the...

    Threadmarks: 22: Night Talks

    Night Talks The sun was starting to dip behind Mount Domo, casting deep shadows into the woods as Haru arrived home. Though she had steadily made her way back, she froze just outside the door, heart fluttering. Would Shimmer and Muse still be here, waiting to confront her? And what of Toshi...

    @Spiteful Murkrow 17 More the latter. Theres likely *areas* that they clear out for other uses, but generally they try to keep things managed and sustainable. If it is influenced, it's subconscious. Generally I was just trying to come up with ways they might interact that don't feel totally...

    Threadmarks: 20: Trust and Grudges

    Trust and Grudges "What is he doing here?" Haru's mouth hung open. Standing in the middle of the path along the river where her family had been cutting trees was Stati, the flaaffy guard. He yawned and stretched in the mid morning light, static sparks flickering in his wool. In front of him...

    Threadmarks: 18: Underyling Tensions

    Chapter 18: Underlying Tensions No…No! Muse jerked awake with a gasp, eyes wide with fear. She sprang to her feet, her claws enveloped with shadowy energy. Her gaze darted about the dark room, illuminated only by a sliver of moonlight. No one else was here. It was just her, her nightmares, and...
