Re: A Stitch in Time

Artemis limped slowly along the alleyway rooftops of the southern district. His chest felt like lead, and his lungs burned with every sharp gasp of breath. He'd taken a solid beating from the thugs before he slipped over a stone wall and lost them in the crowd. The musclebound lunks hadn't been plea...

Re: Birds of a Feather

Artemis could only describe Verdant Row as unsettling. He preferred to work with a sense of normality in his daily endeavors. The fact that the city was crawling with restless spirits was certainly odd, but it didn't hold a candle to the sense of unease he got from knowing there were magic-wielding ...

Re: [OPEN] The Velvet Goose - For What Ails You

He managed to get his buckle undone and pulled his belt out of the loops with a grunt. It always felt good to be out of the armor, it refused to be comfortable after some movement. He'd adjusted it to no end, but it remained uncooperative. "Pardon my saying it, but you're a Spook. In Fellsgard,...

Re: [Mature] The Velvet Goose - For What Ails You

He'd caught her by surprise, and gotten to plant a kiss of his own. He felt like he should twirl about in victory, but kept his composure. Artemis caught the clothes deftly, eyebrow raised at her lament. He barely kept a smile to the edge of his lips as he nodded at her command and spun to face the ...

Re: [Mature] The Velvet Goose - For What Ails You

Artemis stumbled and visibly flinched when she started talking about her spare cot. He was used to this sort of thing, folks would always speak with concern and offer a handout. When the time came though, the door would be shut, the food not fit to eat, or the bed in the frozen crawlspace. His mouth...

Re: [Mature] The Velvet Goose - For What Ails You

Artemis felt a blanket of numbness fall on him when he spotted the cot. It practically glowed with inviting comfort. He waved his hand absently as she mentioned the lamp and only came to when he heard his name. He turned to smile at Katarya, but she was already gone. Chuckling wryly, he sat on the e...

Re: [Mature] The Velvet Goose - For What Ails You

This was always the strangest part of his line of work. No matter what you did for folks, or how sideways the job had gone, they always got squirrelly when it came time to pay. And yet, here she was, offering him a place to rest in exchange for work. Then simply handing him a bag of coins that felt ...

Re: A Very Important Book ... Sort of.

Her warmth was incredibly soothing after he finally managed to ignore the gentle curve of her backside. Then he drifted off to sleep breathing in the scent of her hair. ⁂ The street was crowded today, filled with the sort of dreary folks who trudged from one day to the next. He paid no mind to them ...

Re: A Very Important Book ... Sort of.

"Of course, I'm- I'm not used to having dependable folks who want to stick around, outside of the Goose," he said, as he wiggled into his boots, and then shoved his chest piece over his head. "I'll look, and smell, like a drunkard for a bit, but that's nothing new." He gathered ...

Re: [Mature] A Life Worth Living

Challenge Roll Artemis Black: 99-27-69 | 195 Marcy Faen: 36-71-18 | 125 Artemis was not a fan of whatever area magic the bastard outside was casting. It was impossible to tell when someone was coming if their movement made no sound, and the constant burn of magic warnings in his armor made it hard ...
