After earning the title of ‘special guest’ in the most illustrious Casino in the California sector, Indi asks an estranged crew mate to help.

Indigo Henson never imagined that her summer project would have branded her an enemy of the Magisterium and forced her into a life of crime. But now, after fixing up the mysterious spaceship and fleeing for her safety, Indi has begun to hear voices coming from wires and watts all around her.

Indi, young mechanical protege, and Trent, a “reformed” cult member, have always shared a deeper connection. However, saving the universe leads people with few opportunities to address inter relationships; especially when Trent has the emotional bandwidth of a brick wall and Indi understands machines far better than humans.

But when the crew of the Innamorata’s next adventure leads them into the Barrens (aka hell), Indi realizes this may be her last chance to speak with her fellow mechanic before all hell breaks loose.

A modern day cyberpunk version of myself needs to let off a bit of steam after a quick year long trip into the Backrooms (don’t ask). But if you know anything about Cyberpunk universe, you know that these stories almost never have a happy ending.

“IF UR HHAD TEH CHAHNCE TO CHAHNGGED UR FAAEETE, WOUUULLD YA?”

Prompt: Write about one of your original characters from the perspective of another one of your original characters.

Emerald Bells of Jeoffer monologues about her last days and how she aims to live her new modern day life to the fullest.

In the typical D&D campaign, the “boring parts” of the narrative are usually skipped over. Things like cleaning, cooking, eating, grooming, sleeping, or the moments of silence aren’t as engaging compared to fighting a vampire blood god, but that doesn’t mean they don’t happen at all!

After a particularly harrowing battle, I wanted to give my girl a much needed moment of peace to recover and regain her footing.

“Right person, wrong time… or was it?”

Minlara and Ezra, best friends, business partners, guild founders, used to be engaged (5-6 years before this story). While in our D&D campaign they have moved on (mostly), I wanted to experiment within an alternate reality where maybe they didn’t ever get over their feelings for each other. I am also a HUGE fan of putting my boss babe adventurers into more domestic situations… as a treat. 🥹
