madeline

madeline has always been a fan of crime dramas so when a series of murders start to occur close to her home, of course she's going to be interested. she enlists the help of her friends and all too quickly it becomes clear that something inhuman is doing the killing. by that point, it's too late to back out.

kappa andromedae

cecilia, rafael, and dominika are training to be police officers, for a special unit whose mission is to take down hacked androids, rogue robots, and other machine-based crime. during their first assignment, they end up in over their head as their unit discovers a factory for eerily human-looking androids, each identical to one another. these should not exist, should not be possible, yet here they are.

rise and fall

somewhere in virginia, nestled between upper class neighborhoods and towns sits milton college, a school known for its elitism and classism. its halls and libraries are home to countless tomes about hidden secrets and historical intrigue, and in the right hands those secrets might reveal themselves. when presley, antoni, cameron, bianca, and isolde develop an unhealthy obsession with the austro-hungarian empire, things start to slowly fall apart. secrets are let out, addicitions get stronger, and lives are irrevocably changed.

mise en abyme

innapor city has always been known for intellect, scandal, and magic. lireyle and alis are just trying to figure out their place in this world and navigate the strict rules of innaporan culture, from courtship to duty. ilya struggles with his past as a young soldier and his future as a mercenary, a hired gun, and a thief. wren has to decide if freedom is more important than a country’s future. when danger comes, the four are united in their want to save their city. is there more powerful magic at play? and how far would they go to save themselves... and each other?

neon decay in sin city

a podcast run by our storyteller @maabonwrites. five vampires walk into an alley... wait, no, that’s not quite right, is it? how does the joke go? let me try again -- five vampires wake up. they’re confused. they’re hungry. 

ask to be added to specific tag lists! (neon decay is run by maabonwrites and she manages the tag list, though!)

↳ s e t t i n g ⟶ countries of ardanerel

The continent of Ardanerel is home to seven countries, some of them widespread empires with far-reaching impacts, some of them small and secure in what they already have. In the North, there’s Tovjland, where magic is revered and honored but seemingly scarce. Below that is the great mountain range of the Dubu’mugh, where different races of Tur live side by side in peaceful harmony – for now. Continuing southwest is the wild and untamed Erivanse, where the old gods are worshipped and old traditions are practiced with unrestrained fervor. The islands of Jornara lay just south of that, home to the Jorna-Elva who honor their ancestors through complex necromancy.

Usha is home to the largest matriarchy, and stands as a hub for trading and export with other continents. Above them are their neighbors in Innapor, whose strict culture and traditions may seem foreign and strange to anyone not from there. Finally, theres Aershale. The expanding and militaristic force that wants to hold everyone under their rule; united, they believe, they can be great.

↱ e x c e r p t  - the weaver princess.

The room was spinning, the gold and the marble bouncing light off of each other and the sound of the music through moving bodies made her head feel light. Her hand felt heavy in Prince Nikita’s, the other like a weight on his shoulder. He felt stiff as he danced, his movements precise and without passion, but Sabina didn’t care much about that. This was ancillary, this wasn’t what she was here for. Many would have killed to dance with the crowned prince but she just felt her world around her slow and gasp, the overwhelming want to b r e a t h e in and out, like her anxiety was some sort of living thing.

She thought again, for not the first time that night, of how it was much easier to deal with the dead than the living.
