2025-02-11 04:33:01 +0000 UTC View PostYuki jumped onto the walls and John scrambled up behind her onto the side closest to the road. Thankfully, she found Aiki and Haru on the way over, and they were hunkering down in their "room" righ...
2025-02-03 16:33:54 +0000 UTC View PostJohn took a deep breath before knocking on the door to the bath. "Yuki, I have some clothes for you when you're ready," he called, "If you're not, I'll leave it folded by the door.”
He hear...
2025-01-28 16:42:34 +0000 UTC View PostJohn pushed the door open, and Yuki slowly walked in not too long after him, still looking as exhausted as ever. "This way," he said, guiding her toward the main building after he closed and barred...
2025-01-21 16:49:02 +0000 UTC View PostYuki bowled the creature over like a raging bull, smashing it into a nearby tree hard enough to splinter bark and wood alike. It was knocked onto its back, underside sizzling lightly in the sunligh...
2025-01-12 18:43:47 +0000 UTC View PostWeirdly enough, it turned out that kappa were a lot more friendly when you told them that you'd come to deal with their forest's demonic spider infestation. Strangely, he still hadn't told them his...
2025-01-07 16:51:31 +0000 UTC View Post"Weapons, check. Warding, check. Supplies, check," John mumbled, checking over the contents of his bags as he geared up in his foyer, stuffing away the modified motion detectors he retrieved from h...
2024-12-31 17:10:50 +0000 UTC View PostNeedless to say, his kitchen was pretty different. It was pretty funny to show Yuki an induction element and watch her look of sheer bafflement as the water heated up with no open flame involved. H...
2024-12-23 16:39:53 +0000 UTC View PostJohn felt pretty good about himself. Despite the terrifying situation, he and Yuki managed to defuse it without any bloodshed! Granted, it was mostly on her; he just mean mugged a bit, but was glad...
2024-12-17 17:57:05 +0000 UTC View PostYuki really should ask John more about his capabilities once they were back at the fort.
Silence hung over the road, thick enough to be cut with a knife, and Yuki caught the edge of a few shr...
2024-12-10 01:50:40 +0000 UTC View PostThe following morning was better. Still, having two strangers and an almost stranger on his land while he slept wasn't ideal, but he eventually managed to pass out, given it was Yuki downs...

2024-12-09 22:38:52 +0000 UTC View PostBy the time evening rolled around, John had crammed a good portion of a notebook full of symbols with approximated pronunciations underneath, and Yuki had a chunky primer of impromptu math and phys...

2024-11-19 17:16:24 +0000 UTC View PostThankfully, the rest of the night passed without incident. It was easy to rig up extra detectors and pair them to the spare crystalline lights on his alarm tablet. Whenever he crept over to check o...
