    Summary

    When he got there, he was unpleasantly surprised. EXE was already situated in the alley, crouched behind a dumpster and fiddling with some sort of device. If X had to guess, he’d say they were probably trying to use the firewall’s internal weaknesses to bring the whole thing down.

    “EXE, what are you doing?” He asked, glancing around to make sure that EXE truly had no quick way out. They didn’t. The other end of the alley was just a wall, and there was nothing for them to grab onto. EXE startled, body rocking back just a bit. They really had terrible observational skills — X hadn’t been particularly quiet when he entered the alley. “What’re you doing?” He repeated.

    “Eh — just the same thing I do every time I’m here!”

    AKA: X is an android working to protect the City. He spends every day dealing with the various viruses that break in through the firewall, including the notorious EXE. Unfortunately for him, something is about to happen that will change his life forever.

    Summary

    He startled when he turned and saw another person. Xisuma was sitting across the room, glaring at him. Ex’s eyes narrowed, searching his armourless form until they finally caught onto the chain wrapped around X’s ankle. Alright — so not a ploy by Xisuma either? Maybe this was a plot against Hermitcraft, then. That would explain why they had him, though it wouldn’t explain why they’d bothered to grab Ex from a different location. …maybe they thought he’d be a pressure point — a weakness that would make Xisuma consider betraying his people. He almost laughed at the idea — if that was their plan, they were about to be sorely disappointed. Some of his amusement must’ve shown on his face, because the last bit of curiosity Xisuma’s held had quickly soured.

    “So, what’s the plan here?” He asked, leaning back, his chained leg tucked beneath him. The rest of his body screamed of casualty — though Ex wasn’t quite sure if it was real.

    “Hm?” He glanced around. “Well, looks like your average kidnapping to me.” They shrugged, tugging on their chains.

    Xisuma just chuckled.

    Summary

    Etho may be down, but he's not out. Not out of the game, or out of kinda-shady shenanigans with very shady people.
    When his old friend Tango offers him a spot in an adventuring party, he isn't in much of a position to say no.
    He thinks the fire Genasi, the girl with wings, and the green goat-man are going to be the cause of his troubles.
    It's the five foot tall, sleep-obsessed hippie who's going to turn his life upside down.

    Etho has never remembered his good dreams, until now.

    Summary

    After a decade of assuming his twin is dead, Xisuma's more than a little shocked when the server's efforts to retrieve Cleo, Tango and Zedaph from The End brings Xavier - or Ex, as Zed insists on calling him - along with it. Unfortunately, ten years in different dimensions is only one of the problems facing them, and with a relationship broken on so many levels neither even know where to start.

    Not that they're going to let that stop them.

    (Sequel to 'In War, Everybody is a Prisoner (but some more than others))
    --> Probably can't be read alone, but hey, feel free if you're up for a challenge!

    Summary

    “Doc is in there.”

    Bdubs’ eyes grew large.

    “Doc? Like… my Doc?”

    “The one who came from Mindcrack, yes.”

    “He’s alive?” Bdubs’ face started to beam. “He’s alright?”

    “Yes, but… There is something wrong with him. I hadn’t interacted with him much before I left, but he’s… different.”

    “Different?” Bdubs tilted his head curiously. ”What do you mean?”

     

    Or, Bdubs wants to get closure, Doc wants to move on, and Keralis just doesn’t want anyone to die.
