UPDATE 8-30-24

We're so back.

Chapter 1 of Greenwarden is chugging along! Greenwarden will (finally) update once I reach a common route between all the different branches. Current checklist is Bar Route -> Library Route -> Summer's House Route. None of you are ready.

TKP and Erinys are also chugging along! Those will update chapter-by-chapter -- at least that's the plan. Depending on how big they are, they might occasionally update like Greenwarden does, which is whenever I reach a common point between branching paths.

Snippets underneath the cut.

[ID: White text on a dark gray background. The text says: "'What the fuck was that?" You could cry with relief. Bautista. He all but throws his gun into his holster on his way to you. His hands smooth over your neck and face until he notices the drying gash in your stomach.

"'No, no, no,' he sounds shaky. 'Nazeri!' You're starting to feel distant and wobbly, a mirage. Cold all over. Nazeri is still putting on a pair of gloves by the time he kneels by your arm. He has a thin mask over his face. It still doesn't hide the way his pupils go deep and wide and dark smelling all that blood." /end ID]

[ID: White text on a dark gray background. The bottom line of text is bright red. The text says: "You have to fight your instinct to run, wrestle with it until you can pin it down just enough you don't scream and sprint for the hills. You run through your Rolodex of woodland training. Coyotes are ambush-persuit predators when they're not scavenging. They're sprinters by nature — not like wolves or people. Skittish and easily startled, but stubborn. You might be able to make yourself not worth it.

'I see you, motherfucker,' you shout, puffing out your chest and raising your arms to look bigger. Your jacket helps. You feel like a great big stupid bird. It doesn't take the hint right away. If anything, it gets closer out of curiosity.

'Go on!' It jerks back. 'Go on, get!' You get brave and stomp the ground in front of you. Threat displays.

The second you bend down to pick up a rock, you realize you made a mistake. Between one second and the next it's in front of you.

You've never seen a coyote so white, nor one with eyes so blue.

You stare into each others' eyes. Breathless for a few precious seconds. What next?

What comes next is that it smiles at you. Human-like, with pointed canid teeth. The way its mouth moves makes you nauseous — it shouldn't bend like that, it's eyes shouldn't crinkle that way, and you end up making some kind of strangled gag noise before stumbling back.

'Go on,' it says, very calmly. 'Get.'

Doesn't have to tell you twice." /end ID]

When you make an impulsive decision and ultimately regret it.

i have seven days of training for my new job at the main branch out-of-town starting monday and i'm very excited to get to ride the train so much and dreading the actual logistics

[relnicht]

adulthood is so depressing like you go to a job you dislike with colleagues you dislike and then when you get home you're tired but you have to make dinner so you make something that doesnt make you happy and then you look at tiktok or youtube for hours and go to sleep and it just repeats and repeats until you have your days off and one out of two days is spent doing errands and chores and being tired and then maybe the other day you'll actually do something fun like meet a friend but all of the other days are just spend between work, sleep, looking at your phone or laptop and buying yourself things you don't actually need because that's what passes for self care these days and you don't have any real community or really close friends because all you do is work, sleep and be tired

you know, for the most part my asthma is very under control and not too much of a bother, but heavens forbid some dust gets blown around by high winds and then I get sick with a chest cold bc my immune system was too busy causing allergies over the dust instead of doing its actual job and then I can barely go up or down a flight of stairs without losing my breath

[kirishwima]
