B: "-I already told you, I don't know anything."
A: "And I already told you, we know that's a lie Benny. Or should I say // REDACTED //"
B: "What, you think I'm just going to roll over and piss myself because you know my name? You're the fucking Feds, of course you know my name."
A: "Well, we know a lot more than that. Breaching Federal networks, Monitoring and tracking highly classified information: Passing it to the news Agencies."
B: "I didn't do anything."
A: "You think you're some kind of hero? You think by throwing all this information out to the masses it's going to make the world a better place? After all you've seen, all you've managed to pry out from your research- do you even understand how dangerous this is?"

B: "..."
A: "Look at this. This is you. This is you, on camera, dropping off seven different packages: Each and every single one of them was intercepted. We know who you are, we know what you were doing. Right now we have teams going through your old home, your apartment, that safe you had hidden way down in your Parent's basement wall."
B: "..."
A: "Everything Benny. What I need to know is everything else you're hiding from me."
B: "Doesn't matter."
A: "I think it does. I think you better start talking, or you're going to Federal prison for a long, long time."
B: "For what? Using the head on my shoulders to figure out something bad is happening, and then trying to find out more? The fact that you've all got people convinced that everything in hunky-dory when I know full well you're This close to losing control?"
A: "Federal prison isn't exactly a walk in the park // REDACTED //"
B: "I think we both know, prison isn't where I'm going when you're done with me."
A: "Listen, // REDACTED // I need you to cooperate, and tell me what you know."
B: "You can't keep telling everyone a lie, and not expect some people to start questioning it."
A: "We do this to keep people safe. Panic would be running rampant if we hadn't intervened. Do you even know how long this has been going on? Do you even understand how big this is?"
B: "Keep people safe, huh? That what happened to Sandlot? You sure treated him nice, dressed him all up in black-"
A: "Tell me WHAT YOU KNOW!"
B: "Eat shit you fucking spook."
A: "Look. You realize that this conversation is the easy way, don't you? After me, it's not going to be nearly as pleasant. You're worried about a black bag- then what about several of them?"

B: "You think I give a shit? I know what you people do. I've known since I started digging, since my friends went missing, since I found the fucking pictures and the dark lines of ink. If you found the safe, then you should already know how fucked you are."
A: "What did you do?"
B: "You think you're the only ones I hacked? You honestly think after all the shit I've had to swim through, I would be that fucking stupid?"
A: "You're bluffing."
B: "You think I avoided capture for years, hacked into your systems, and made it this far by bluffing?"
A: "..."
B: "Why don't you turn on the news and find out, mother-fucker."

The Long and Exciting Life of Kreet the Kobold (Life 2)
Kreet was originally a D&D character. Life 1 was essentially her backstory. Life 2 picks up just after the events of the D&D campaign in the Underdark. At first you won't recognize the characters, but bear with it for a couple chapters and the few important points will be revealed. Also I stole a player's character (with his permission!) in the form of Sigmundurr. Also, unlike Life 1, I'll be posting this slowly over time. Right now I'm writing around chapter 20 and I suspect I'm only halfway. Tone may be a little different. ( Cover art by KuroNeko I'm pretty sure!)

Chaos Wave
The year is 2055. Virtual Reality has been around for nearly forty years, and the Full Sensation Dive System has been around for about thirty. The various countries of Earth have long since given up on Warring against each other in this dimension when it turned out that with the FSDS (Full Sensation Dive System) virtual worlds became real, especially once Richard Alonzo Albeque's AIQNPC (Artificial Intelligence Quest and Non-Player Character) System was released and spread like a wild virus across all the active MMOs. People vanished from their Dive system, leaving nothing behind of the person they were, and the Characters they were in game become locked out, and no longer responsive to the System. In addition to this, they are suddenly showing up on ALL servers of a game at the same time, almost as if they were now an NPC. The governments put a stop to all distribution of FSDS Technology, and keep an eye on these 'Digitized Players'. Ten years pass and one of the first ever Digitized Players, a Level 500 Catgirl by the name of Atreya the Dawnbirth, created a stable portal between their MMO and Earth. With the return of one of the players, the governments remove the bans on FSDS Technology, which has still been researched heavily while under the ban. Wars break out over control of Virtual Worlds, but these wars are all fought ON the Virtual World, so the Earth isn't polluted further. Immortality is now available to all who seek it, if you can find a World to call your own. Of course, nobody paid attention to one of the few warnings Atreya brought back with her... The NPCs sometimes became sentient and disobeyed coding laws.
