Jack Acquires a New Coat Part I A thick mist had descended upon the streets of Victoria that night. It curled around the marble statues, and wound its way over the cobblestone streets and through the alleys. In this particular part of the city, however, it went largely unobserved. What was usually a bawdy part of town at this time of night, peopled be raucous drunks and whores, was near silent as the grave. For there were mutterings that the Ripper went out on nights like thi

Ravden The Other around this reality, it’s really dark. Not by a lot, but just enough that it’s noticeable. The greens and purples are just a shade deeper than they should be.

Big Trouble in Little Akuma Part I “Ya know, maybe the Kimiko bitch ain’t as much of a raging cunt as I thought she was.” The steam made it a little hard to tell, but with his arms behind his head and his eyes closed, Bacchae probably looked incredibly content. It was hard not to be, when bathing at the classiest bathhouse in Akuma-cho. The water was full of herbal gunk of some sort, and the air was moist and cloudy. He leaned back on the marble tile, and sighed. “I’m just wo

In the Land of Lost Toys Part I It will be very dark, and very cold, and for a long time, you will have no idea where you are. Stuck in the purgatory of the unconscious, you will float in nothing for far too long, and as you do, you will feel like something is being taken from you. It won’t be until later that you will realize just what it is that is missing. But slowly, gradually, a gradient of gray will creep over your vision, and sensation will make itself known. Something
