Grim flexed her foot, frowning at it. "I think we need to shift the ring light more that way," she told her brother. "There's not quite enough sheen on the stockings to make it obvious they're on." Grave sighed. "You thought it was too shiny when it was over there before," he said, even as he moved the light. "Look... Why don't we just take pictures at both angles and we can compare them then?" he suggested, hoping that if they did that, they could be done with this little photoshoot. ...

Jannah had never seen a dove in person, but she had been told they were seen as harbingers of peace and mercy on Earth. Her wings and fins did not resemble any bird she knew of, but she suspected others saw her as whatever the opposite of a dove would be - it felt like misery, misfortune, and violence followed her wherever she went. It didn't seem to matter if she chose to bring those things with her or not, they simply followed her. She wished she at least knew why, but no matter how ...

Fila let loose a whoop of excitement as the jaceship's jamp lowered onto the sand. Without waiting for anyone else, she tore down it and flung herself at the ocean beyond, shrieking with glee as the water lapped up her skin. "How can you stand all that water?" Janette asked, having exited the jaceship at a significantly calmer pace. Fila turned back to answer, and caught sight of the way Janette tugged on her long jins. Oh... Of course Janette would have difficulties in the wate...

Grim's lips wrapped around the length of the candy cane, puckering as she encased its length in her mouth. She batted her eyelashes as she drew it out, taking a bite just before it would have exited her mouth. She could see eyes on her, but she paid them no mind - they weren't the important ones here, after all. She repeated the process, sighing around the candy cane as she took it inside her mouth. As she slid it out again this time, she made sure to show off her tongue running up the length...

Akane loved the scent of candles - fresh out of the box, melting, just after the light had been blown out… It was fortunate she did, at least. Electricity was not always the most reliable in the Blighted Wilds, through little fault of anyone there. Parts to wire with were scarce, and replacements scarcer. Sometimes, one of the electricians around just got murdered for no particular reason, and there was not much anyone else could do about it, unless they were one of the ones employed...

The air was chilly as Freita walked, and the wind buffeted her with increasing force as she ascended the ridge of the hill. It was a shame, she thought, that Aerius had developed the way it had. Other planets, cold climates came with numerous trees, such as Earth's taiga. Yet on Aerius, a combination of magic and lower axial tilt had led the planet to develop separate zones that were wildly alien to one another, and allowed for the only landscape that routinely received snow to be pure...

Making a wreath from holly was more difficult than Freita had expected. She had made an evergreen wreath last year, and it had been simple enough, even if the pine needles had been a little annoying and prickly. Holly... was worse. It couldn't cut through her shell, of course - it wasn't nearly strong enough for that, fortunately. But if she had been organic, she suspected the leaves might well have covered her skin in cuts by now. They seemed designed to hook into things and to...

Pratijyah gazed at the fireworks above, leaning back on her hands as she sat on the ground. She wasn’t really sure if there was anything to celebrate, in truth. The war had been brutal and senseless, with so many lives lost or irrevocably altered. Its leadup had been revealed to be just as cruel and violent, and yet, they were celebrating its end. She supposed it was just that which they celebrated, but it felt truly insufficient to her. Lockettes had always had wars, of cours...

Amber tapped her pencil on her lips as she considered her planner. Honestly, she only used a physical one because it was more ‘aesthetic’ on kiptok. A digital one was way easier, since she didn’t have to worry about ensuring her writing was pretty enough. But the algorithm liked what it liked, and who was she to deny it? To her side were her phone and mic, ready to record anything she said. “Hey everyone, it’s going to be a new year for Earth and for Aerius soon, and I...

Nessa loved winter and the various festivities her mentor liked to hold for it. One of her favorite things was helping with the food prep. All the pastries she had helped to make were now baking in the many ovens in Pratijyah’s kitchen, which meant it was now time to begin the eggnog. It would need to chill while the baked goods cooked. Timing was always important - even with all of the supplies for cooking in her mentor’s kitchen, space was always at a premium. She cracked ...

The worst thing about blizzards had to be cleaning up after them. It had to be done, of course, to ensure her cottage wouldn't collapse from the weight of the snow on it and that she would be able to get out of the cottage as needed, but that didn't make Freita enjoy it. Well, okay, every time she came outside to do it, she did usually spend a few moments simply admiring the picture it made. The peaked roof, covered in snow, icicles all around the eaves... It was stunningly beautiful, ...

“A snowman is not going to help Eu find us,” Theo protested. “It totally will,” Amata retorted as she worked to roll an alarming amount of snow into a ball. “It’s weird, for one, and he knows if there’s weird shit it’s probably my fault.” “Snowmen are small, though, how is he going to see it?” “I’ll just make it really big,” she continued, creating some of her shields to help roll the snowball. “It’s not like there’s many trees in the Fro...

Overall, Anahera liked the cold place. Snow was fun, and she could make things from it - balls and snowdextro and shapes in the snow... It was a lot like sand, just cold, but very fun. Best of all was that there was hot chocolate after basically every time she played outside. The only bad part of the cold place were all the things she had to wear before she went outside. The coat was much heavier than the raincoats she was used to, and the snow pants felt weird. Worst of all, however, ...

The chair in the laundry was always a relief to Nilima. She would have protested that she didn't need it, had anyone asked. Fortunately, no one ever had, so she could give in to her weakness and sit while she folded and hung laundry. Admittedly, the bulk of her work in the laundry was not even doing that, but laying out her sweaters to air dry. She liked her sweaters most of the time, except for when she had to clean them. A wet sweater was unnecessarily heavy, and they loved to get th...

Arha collected the pinecones from the ground with significantly less care than she gave to placing them into the baskets on the sides of the draphibian. It wasn't her draphibian - hers wasn't exactly a patient sort who would stand around to let dextroluma harvest food around it. Hers was more... Well, her draphibian didn't like anyone but Arha being around her. It suited her just fine for gathering herbs beyond the sanctuary, but it didn't really work for collaborative harvests like this....

Freita tapped her staff in a circle on the icy lake, focused as always. There was a pause, and then it splashed into the water beneath itself. She smiled with satisfaction, and moved to set her fishing pole up. Then it was just a matter of waiting. She had never been all that into fishing before she had moved to the Frozen Plains. Everyone had assured her she would love it because her snowy charms meant she was simply built perfectly for it. That had been a fucking lie, of cours...

Roksanni struggled to get her feet underneath her body. It was not easy to do, with knives strapped to her feet. What idiot had designed these damn things? Wouldn't it just be faster to go on foot? She could see other dextroluma skating down the canals of Solstice, faster than she could imagine moving. If she hadn't slipped multiple times trying to walk on them, there was no way she would be doing this. But she needed to get past the city to get to the port so she could get to one of t...

Esmé carefully hung another bell on a cabinet door, frowning as she did so. She shouldn't have needed to do all of this - no one in their family had any toddlers, after all. (Well, it wasn't exactly toddler proofing, but Nautilus could and would break toddler proofing items). No, this was all due to her sister's draphibian. Cooking was going to be so obnoxious with bells on every cabinet door, the refrigerator and freezer doors... Ugh... She didn't know why Nautilus would remove child...

The air was crisp and cold, and Anahera’s hands were gripped tightly on the blankets over her lap as she gazed at the frigid landscape. The sleigh whisked them across the snowy fields of some strange place. Mommy had told her what it was called, but she couldn't remember anymore, and Mommy had fallen asleep in the warm blankets they had been wrapped up in. Draphibians pulled the sleigh, running at a steady speed across the frozen landscape. If she hadn't been so excited, she might ha...

Sometimes, Roksanni wasn’t sure which walls in the caves were ice and which were crystal. They were all sparklingly blue and white, a disconcerting blend that had made it difficult to sleep when she had first stumbled into them. Everything seemed bright as dawn within the caves at all times, even when she couldn't figure out where the light was coming from. It was secure enough to keep her safe, and empty enough not to endanger anyone from the things that were drawn to her, at least....
