《Romantically Apocalyptic》100. Accusations

The mug was talking to me....
It followed me.
How? Why?
Where did insanity start and where did normality end?
No, I haven't gone mad! I have to hold on to what I see and hear, make it constitute my reality, no matter how random it will become.
I stepped back and then forward, fidgeting, unable to decide what to do next.
Spinning in circles and kicking up dust was getting me nowhere.
I have to find Captain. I have to warn of betrayal. The cup wants to kill Captain. They probably killed pilot.
They... who are they. Why can I hear them?
God I... this sounds so insane. This is what being Pilot must be like.
I cautiously approached the mug and grabbed it.
"What have you done with Pilot! Confess your hideous crimes!" I shouted at it.
The mug didn't answer me.
"GREETINGS!" I suddenly heard from behind.
I spun around, finding Captain sitting on a chair, which was located on the surface of a frozen lake.
Across from the chair stood an antiquated television set.
"WHY DO YOU INTERRUPT MY SOAPS WITH YOUR SENSELESS RUMMAGING?" Captain asked, focusing a purple gaze towards me. "DID YOU FETCH ME A REFRESHING BEVERAGE?"
With this, Captain flicked a remote at the TV set. The TV creaked and sunk below the ice.
"What? NO! The mug has been compromised! It can no longer be trusted!
It... Wants to kill you!" I blurted out, forcefully. My voice came out all squeaky and unnatural, like I didn't really believe what I was saying. The sinking TV was making me feel uneasy, not helping the overall situation.
"YOU DON'T SAY...." Captain looked at me with slight interest.
"I know! It sounds crazy but it's true! I heard it talk about this being a dream and everything!" I poked the mug.

"WHAT NONSENSE IS ZIS?" Captain twisted a little on the chair, waving an arm at me dismissively, as if shooing a bothersome fly.
"I'm serious!" My inner rage reached a boiling point.
I shook the mug vigorously: "TALK DAMN YOU!!!"
Captain stared at me, looking quite amused with my behavior:
"SUCH TACT IS MOST INAPPROPRIATE!
POOR SNIPPEY, I THINK ZEE RADIATIONS HAVE GONE TO SOMEONE'S HEAD!"
"I'm not insane! G-DAMN IT! You're supposed to be the insane one here!" I pointed at Captain, shouting.
"LISTEN TO ME! THE MUG HAS SINISTER PLANS FOR YOU!"
I kept on pressing my hopeless cause.

The Complete Alchemyst book 1
You've heard of superheroes, seen them flying across the sky, destroying great swaths of cities and ending countless innocent lives in order to defeat great evils and world-spanning threats and sell lots of sponsorships and merchandising opportunities. This is a story about the guy that is not those heroes. A supervillain in a world where making the right friends and political contacts is what separates the good guys from the bad. The Alchemyst is a story about a normal guy in a crazy world that spends his time trying to follow his dreams and conscience, working on new potions, thinking about girls, and lifting heavy shit, while trying to stay under the radar of the superheroes, supervillains, and governments that want what he can do. And occasionally turning them into makeshift melee weapons. If you enjoy The Boys, the Aberrant roleplaying game, Mystery Men, Trashy romances, Arnold Schwarzenegger movies, or SAW you may enjoy this book. Please note that this book has extremely graphic and sometimes gross fight scenes, heroes as villains, villains as heroes, opinionated and often politically incorrect characters, some graphic sex scenes, dad jokes, dirty jokes, realistic depictions of romance and flirting, bondage and dominance themes, and more than a few cuss words when they are really appropriate. This is NOT a superhero genre deconstruction. Many heroes truly are heroes, and they don't all need to be destroyed to make a good story, but it does look into the dark side of superpowers and the unreasonable and often contradictory demands placed on exceptional people.
8 205Pistol Sunday
Deep within the heart of the bustling megacity of New Dwarden lies the symbol for life’s innate need for ingenuity and adventure. Under the city’s many winding gears, towering metallic homes, and exploding pistons, are the mysterious Midnight Trains. While the train’s purposes aren’t entirely known by the public, most know them as the divine bridge between the spirit world and the land beneath their feet. Some say the trains were gifted from the spirit world in an effort to achieve complete harmony between spirits and humans alike while some note a more nefarious construct of warped human desire. Nevertheless, it is known that when a ticket to board a Midnight train is printed, the passengers must “oblige”. Tonight’s ticket is a very special one and with it comes a request for a journey beyond the tracks. Welcome aboard the famous Whisky Sunday on it’s most infamous of nights.

8 186A Comprehensive Guide for Alchemy
A guidebook designed for alchemists of every tier to help refine their craft and provide direction. Formed of countless recipes and techniques, developed over the ages by the collective knowledge of our study, this is a definite supplement material for any aspiring alchemist. This discusses not only the recipe itself, giving you instructions for each one, but directs you to things not to do in the recipe. It isn’t uncommon for starting alchemists to unknowingly make a small change, and before they know it… BOOM! For a relatively minor price you too purchase this guidebook and start working towards building up a proper base of knowledge in alchemy. Even those with considerable ability may learn a thing or two from this! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is purely a guidebook for alchemy in a magical world, and as such contains no story elements. The cultivation (and alchemical) tiers are not at all necessary to understand the book, but exist because in the context of the book it would be important. I'm more than happy to write up any alchemical ideas you've ever had, totally not using this as an excuse to reduce my creative thinking hours... Just PM the idea or post it as a comment in any chapter, with a bit of balancing there's pretty much no idea that can't be done! Hiatus while I focus on shorter stories for competitions
