In the darkened tavern, there sat the man you were sent to see. Sitting alone in the corner, a man in a simple duster sat, smoking a cigar and watching the music played by the latest of the youkai bands to pop up in the city. He notices before you have a chance to second guess being sent here, and waves you over. "So...You're the one asking about The Family, eh? Heh, you must be mad asking around for someone like them so openly that you would be sent to me. Only ones after them are either looking to join, or looking to die. " 'Who are they?' You ask like you never heard of them before. "You haven't? Oh boy, you don't know the kinda hornet's

With the greatest of care, I placed my mask over my headphones and slid my music player in my pocket. The song kicked on, and instantly I started bobbing my head to the beat, watching the others in the van get themselves ready.  A human tapped his foot and loaded his . He seemed to be running on auto pilot as he was looking out the window of the front. The newest member of the crew always let the adrenalin hit him far to early. A tiger rubbed some wax on her baseball bat, trying to protect it from another bloody night, her rifle and machine pistol sitting next to her. Our leader tapped her pistol against her shoe, casting the rest of us

Ch1: Ashes, Ashes… The rocks falling, the screams coming from his own throat, the crushing darkness, he could feel them all around him. It happened again and again. It felt like every time he woke up, he was waking up into the same events, every time. It felt like years, years he had been trapped in this vision of the past.  Every time the ground caved under him after he felt a black blade enter his chest. Something was wrong with it. Nothing ever lined up. Sometimes there were other faceless people. Sometimes there was something else with him. Every time it ended in failure. Not this time.

[ ] Welp, My work's done here.  { } Off that pretty lake beyond the trees! With the thrill of beating down two of the people who were probably on someone's hitlist, wore away, I started walking again, gently climbing down the slopes and paths that lead me to a clear, calm lake. Well, that's actually a lie. It was very clear, but calm is not how I would describe this. Pandemonium sounds better. Seems like I entered into a very interesting situation. Some small girl was standing on a ball of ice floating in the water, running backwards like her life depended on it, with a rubber boot on one hand and a ball of frozen marbles in the other

There are many ways to spend a sunny afternoon in a Tengu base. Sketch the mountain, play cards with your squad, do some exercises, or hell, take a nap in the sun or a shady tree. Or you could stand in the center of a base, right under the blazing skylight being made fun of by someone pretending to be your new commanding officer. Guess which one I’m doing? “So… What in the world are we supposed to call you kid?” The wolf tengu in front of me said, looking through my scroll, vaguely interested in what she was actually reading. “And I don’t mean your name.
