The ring isn't filling up nearly as quickly as I would like.
The Forest Slimes aren't difficult to kill, exactly. Color Drain nearly instantly takes care of them, although I use it sparingly ...
2023-05-22 15:04:51 +0000 UTC View PostI act quickly. There are puddles of color rising all around us into oozing monsters — it's almost disorienting. They're the only sources of color all around me. There's a heavy, thickset ooze-cre...
2023-05-14 23:32:38 +0000 UTC View PostI dig into my soup as Virin lies back into his bed of straw — but almost immediately, he sits up again, his eyes wide. "You fix my bed!" he says. "How you fix?"
"I just... kind of tried to ...
2023-05-14 23:32:03 +0000 UTC View PostThe sheer exhaustion that washes through me after I finish that imbuement isn't something that I'm prepared for. I join the crows for a quick dinner — most of my disgust by the more insect-based ...
2023-05-14 23:31:21 +0000 UTC View PostThe problem with logistics was that they took a lot of time. Getting people to organize, especially any large number of people, was a process that could take hours — and when their time was limit...
2023-05-08 00:11:03 +0000 UTC View PostA/N: Three chapters today, so make sure you read them in order. :)

When I get closer to the Cliffside, I stop using Triplestep and pull in my Firmament again. I sti...
2023-05-08 00:08:56 +0000 UTC View PostWhen I wake up, I roll to the side. It's an automatic reflex by now, and it's only when I crack my elbow against stone that I realize that I'm not, in fact, about to be stabbed in the head by a gia...
2023-05-08 00:08:17 +0000 UTC View PostI'm running through a number of plans in my head, discarding most of them as quickly as they come. Mental Acceleration helps me and gives me more time; the robot isn't moving particularly fast<...
2023-05-08 00:07:20 +0000 UTC View PostHey all!
I want to thank you all for the amazing support for DRR, first of all. It's been a journey watching it rise on RR, and I couldn't have done it without you all.

2023-04-30 17:02:37 +0000 UTC View PostThere's a part of me that thinks I should attack immediately, before the Guardian has had time to power up. There's another part of me that hesitates, because I know now that the Guardians...
2023-04-30 15:51:42 +0000 UTC View Post"Occasional downtime indeed," I say dryly. I stare at the chat interface. It's a list of every single other Trialgoer, labeled by planet, Trial, and number; some of the names are crossed out, which...
2023-04-30 15:51:13 +0000 UTC View PostThis time, instead of color draining from everything around me, most of my surroundings dissolve into nothing. I see only a small circle of stone around me, and beyond that is empty darkness.
The biggest question for me is whether or not the Fracture is populated the way the Cliffside is. Everything indicates that it isn't. I imagine that at least one person would have responded to the ...
2023-04-27 16:32:14 +0000 UTC View PostThe worst part about fighting a golem is that it doesn't really have any emotions I can exploit. It's not like fighting Naru, who I can goad into anger and pretty easily — or the harpies, who see...
2023-04-24 15:44:48 +0000 UTC View Post"We?" I ask. I'm not sure when she's inserted herself into my plans for what to do next. I'm not exactly opposed to it, but I'm a little thrown off.
"We!" Mari says, and gives me a look that ...
2023-04-23 15:25:32 +0000 UTC View PostWhen I wake up, I roll to the side immediately, my eyes snapping open as I prepare for the mantis' arm to scythe down towards my face — but instead of dodging an attack like I'd expected, I just ...
2023-04-23 15:24:10 +0000 UTC View PostMari and I are positioned across each other in a makeshift arena. She's come up with rules for this spar, this time — it's different from the time I trained with her and Tarin in preparation for ...
2023-04-22 15:10:24 +0000 UTC View PostGheraa snaps his fingers, and the air pulses; this time, it's strong enough to make me stagger beneath the weight. The two initial options are still there, but the two new ones that appear feel str...
2023-04-22 15:09:45 +0000 UTC View PostI try to ignore the text about the Inspiration, and focus first on the choice I have to make. I have no idea what an Inspiration is, but it sounds important. A part of me is excited — bu...
2023-04-20 14:32:54 +0000 UTC View PostAs one of my patrons very kindly pointed out, I forgot to mention anything about starting my next series on here. >_> I started it because Edge Cases is close to ending; we're at the climax o...
2023-04-18 15:18:10 +0000 UTC View PostA/N: Second EC chapter of the day. Make sure you read the first!

Sev reached out and froze time.
Something in his demeanor had changed — no doubt from the m...
2023-04-16 15:43:02 +0000 UTC View PostA/N: This chapter took forever, partly because it's so short and I kept wondering if I should make it longer. In the end I feel like it stands better by itself, even though it's sh...

I was, unfortunately, right about having a glaring headache in the next loop. It's all I can...
2023-04-16 15:39:08 +0000 UTC View PostNaru looks thoroughly unimpressed, except for the part where he sputters and waves his hands around at the pest flying repeatedly into his eyes.
It's more or less in line with my own expectat...
2023-04-16 15:37:48 +0000 UTC View PostI need to figure out my plan. I've revealed myself, in a manner of speaking, which means that no matter what happens a confrontation is probably inevitable; I'd like to be ready.
In fact, I'd...
2023-04-16 15:37:06 +0000 UTC View PostThe color drains away the moment we step into the Hotspot, just like before. Unlike me, Mari doesn't seem impressed at all — she barely gives it a glance before she stomps her way deeper into the...
2023-04-12 15:44:27 +0000 UTC View PostMari's standing outside her hut when I return, and from the look she gives me, I assume she's been waiting for me for a while. She doesn't seem angry at my absence, at least — she just nods at me...
2023-04-11 14:55:19 +0000 UTC View PostSev had a lot to deal with concerning whatever he'd just figured out about his memories — but Sylix was sitting on the ground, holding his head, and Sev felt a little responsible for that.

2023-04-11 13:10:01 +0000 UTC View PostAs early as I am, the Cliffside Crows are still pretty active. I see the kids playing in the town center as usual, and just like before, Mari approaches me while I'm looking around the village, see...
2023-04-10 15:54:00 +0000 UTC View PostNaru stumbles backwards, clearly stunned. It's not like I've done any actual damage to him — the raw Firmament pumping through him is enough to deflect my fist, and it's only the use of Barrier t...
