Larutia commented on Nagi's blog post Writing prompt: high heels and kevlar"I always thought of it more as a wow of how well you tie in real life into your universes and how everything connects so smoothly."

Nagi posted a blog postPoem for a full moon
I wrote this poem a couple of years ago on a full moon night, and last night the full moon was so beautiful it reminded me of what I'd written but never shared. At the time I was crushing on a playwright. Don't mock. We all make mistakes. It goes like this: O sweet playwright,Write me a handful of jewelsThat I might cast themInto the skyAs starsOr wind them on a stringTo wearAt my throatThat I might hear Your words whispered againstMy skin and - Oh, forgive me,I have mixed my metaphors. You…See More
Nagi commented on Aden's blog post A short little piece"Ooooh. Intriguing. I like possession and multiple personalities and other quirks. I like it a lot."
Aden posted a blog postA short little piece
(This was my 750 words post from yesterday that I thought makes a nice little piece right on it's own, although I am tempted to expand) "Let me guess you lost track of time again."Arthur's words stung and Casey dropped his gaze because he knew he wouldn't be able to stand the harsh judgment in his friend's face. He already felt horrible about it, about leaving him at the restaurant. And it probably didn't look good when he answered the door with his paint clothes still on, and a brush tucked…See More
Nagi replied to Aden's discussion NanoWrimo"It's Nanowrimo time again! I figured, even though I'm not writing, I'd at least throw down here as a cheerleader for anyone else who is being brave."
Aden posted a discussionThe Artificers. The info.
The Artificers is my alt history universe. Think Warehouse 13 set in the weird wild west of Deadlands. There is magic, and monsters, zombies, demons, pistol packing padres. And a government group known as the Special Activities Division. They are an outset of the US Marshals that find and neutralize strange artifacts that could otherwise cause chaos, mayhem and destruction. These artifacts are housed in a secret government location. The field agents have no idea where this location is. When…See More
Aden posted a blog postArtificers: Outside of Bodie
Harper reached into the pocket of his coat and pulled out a small paper tag. It looked harmless enough, there wasn’t even anything written on it. He ran his thumb over the silvery looking string that ran through a punched hole in the top. That must have been what did it, what made the artifacts stop working. He was never told how it worked, and most of the time he thought that he really didn't want to know. The less he really knew about his job, the longer he would continue doing it, and not…See More
Aden posted a blog postUntilted in a yet to be named universe.
Note: I have a muse in my head, and am slowly building a universe around him. I am not sure if it will go any farther, but I like this piece I wrote today, so I thought I would share.It was muffled and seeming far away but the sound was there. The constant trill of a ringing phone begging to be answered. Ian had planned on letting it ring and go to the machine, but after the first set of rings stopped only a moment passed before the ringing started again."Oh for the love of..."Digging through…See More
Nagi commented on Aden's blog post Sharing some words from 750words Part One. A little of this and that."I dug the first piece; very cool and apocalyptic, which I totally dig.
I am excited to see where the other piece could go; you've built a sweet voice that could totally be hiding...I don't know. Something darker and a touch more sinister.…"

Applejack (George Washington's Beverage of Choice): Bullet Hole(s)
"That's pretty pimp," Kyle said, watching George Washington shake bullets out of his massive, ice-rimmed cloak. It was full of bullet holes.
"That's not how they talk here," Jimmy whispered. He turned his collar up and ducked his chin down.
"George Washington can take more bullets than 50 Cent," Kyle continued earnestly.
Beside his giant horse, George Washington was counting the bullet holes in his cloak and shaking his head.
"He…

Johnny Walker Whiskey: A brisk walk in the Scottish countryside
"I can't begin to tell you how stupid an idea this was," Melissa grumbled. "This isn't spring - it's wintery hell in the nicest time of March. We could be out fishing, or shooting, or even four-wheeling on the dunes, but no, you wanted to visit Uncle Bruce, and now we're walking in the mud getting stickers up our legs and to top all that, we're lost!"
Josh took a deep breath. "Try to enjoy the view. This is Scotland, the land of our ancestors! We're walking the…

Cognac: Fancy gentleman with monocles
Jem and Micah leaned in the doorway of the stationer's shop, watching people pass up and down the street. Having a shop on the high street was supposed to be a boon; having inherited it to share with the cousin both of them hated was a curse.
"What is...that?" Micah asked. He nodded in the direction of a gentleman wearing knee breaches, a peacock-blue velvet jacket, and a top hat. He also had a gold-rimmed monocle over his left eye, and he was using it to read the newspaper…

Vodka: Stuck in a snowy outpost in Russia
"Merry Christmas," Ivan said. He hefted a the clear four-sided of bottle and attempted a smile.
Tobias attempted to smile back, but his lips were faintly blue and he hadn't felt his own fingers and toes in hours. He supposed that was a bad thing, but they'd run out of firewood he couldn't remember when.
"How do you say it in Russian?" Ivan asked.
In the other corner of the ramshackle wooden shed, Michael said, "Shouldn't you know? Your name is…

A Very Ballentine Christmas
"Explain again how you came to have access to this...cabin?" Chanti said. She had claimed the spot closest to the fire place and had her sketchbook open across her knees. Her nose was already smeared with charcoal, and in her ragged sweater and tear-hem skirt she almost looked like a Dickensian orphan.
Shaylee, in an effort to score some of the warmth, was sitting at Chanti's feet wrapped in an afghan Dani had crocheted. Mona was tucked in beside her, eyes closed while…
