Virtual Meeting
Ottawa, Canada
"Now that everyone has joined the chatroom let's begin." Prime Minister Trudeau looked at the people around the round table.
"Please introduce yourselves." The request from the PM might as well have been an order.

"Rene Wilder, Canada Post. Delivery Agent." When the others looked quizzically at Rene he explained. "That's my actual title. Canada Post doesn't say, the mailman. Too gender specific.
There were 'Ahs' and 'okays' from everyone.
"Mr. Wilder, why don't you have an introduction window?" The PM pointed above Rene.
Rene checked his status and found that it was still set to hide his information. He released the switch to display the information he gave.
"More of that sys-admin ability?" McLean asked. Rene nodded.
The look from the PM silenced the chatroom before everyone joined in on the impromptu discussion. "Let's finish the introductions first gentlemen."
Rene and Richard apologized. They were Canadian after all. They would have apologized for the weather if they could.

"Jeffrey Reardon. Principal Secretary for the Prime Minister." Nothing else was needed to be said. This was the second most powerful political player in the country after the Prime Minister. The display window displayed...

"Samuel Genest? C'est un Collége Catholique n'est pas?" The PM asked.
"Oui." Paul was speaking with the Prime Minister. He kept his answers short. He didn't want to embarrass himself in front of his father and uncle.
"Quelle âge a to?" Asked the PM.
"I'm 17." He followed his uncle's advice. Less is more.
The PM turned to Rene and said, "Your son is still in high school."
"He graduates in a few months. He's already been accepted at Ottawa University." Paul deserved to be here as much as anyone else. He earned his place at this table.
The PM dropped any further questions and moved on. 17 was old enough and the young man had more power at his command than most. In this new world, power spoke louder than words.
"Ae'url. Species Mechanoid. Strike Group Leader. Quarantined." She still kept her rank. After speaking with Captain Fo'Rkon she was assigned as a liaison in the hopes of stopping the escalation of this emergency. As the Captain said, they have the power and it will be respected. Her job was to de-escalate the hostilities.

The PM knew that this being was the true wild card of this bunch. If there was one person that he needed to win at this table, the AI was it.
"I am Justin Trudeau. Prime Minister of Canada."

Twice Lived
Previously called Standard Reincarnation Story In a fraction of a moment, the Earth was no more. The planet was destroyed, and billions and billions of people were dead. And it was all an accident. This is the story of Elm. A regular American born once on earth and given a chance to be reborn again on a planet with magic and monsters and dungeons. Except that for Elm, this is far from the idealistic reincarnation into a loving family -- the standard story of a child raised by loving parents who teach him the ways of the world, Instead, Elm is born into a family of inquisitors. An order of nobility that is dedicated to hunting down and killing "Twice-Lived" -- the name society has for people like Elm who are reincarnated with all their memories of their past life intact. Disclaimer This story is: 1) Extremely violent and graphic. 2) Still in a rough draft stage. I see what I am writing more like a synopsis than a fully fledged story. I periodically will go back to flesh out earlier chapters, build characters, etc... If you find the words "Show don't tell," comforting accept that unfortunately, I'm not at that stage of the writing process yet. 3) At one point this story was called "Standard Reincarnation Story," and I had written an extremely off-putting description of the story. This was mostly to keep out people who would just read the silly first few chapters then rage quit as soon as the violent stuff got started. Since I just had my first .5 star rating (without a page read count increase) that technique is not working, so I might as well treat this as a regular fiction and try to get regular readers.

Tartarus Online
“The new is built upon the old. This is true across all realities, and even the gods themselves cannot escape this fact. Welcome to Tartarus Online, a VRMMOG (Vi-Mog) that offers far more than your usual roleplaying game fare. It is a whole new reality, with a completely level playing field. Gone are the choices of Classes and Archetypes, starting kits and pay-for features. In the bowels of Tartarus, only your effort matters. Once more I welcome you to Tartarus Online. We are going to have a Hells’ of a time.” These were the words that really caught Riley Culman’s attention while watching the promotional video the two guys in nicely tailored suits had brought to him. The two men had come with an invitation, and an offer; which sounded more like a deal with a devil, but was seriously on the up-and-up. Not that these guys from Astarte Entertainment had any reason to lie or be evasive on the subject, given just how massive a corporation Astarte is. Beta Test Tartarus Online. Explore a brand new world. Sleep away his chair-bound life while testing the latest in long term virtual reality immersion technology. And maybe, just maybe regain the mobility robbed from him by an accident as a child. It really sounded all too good to be true to Riley, thus the feeling of making a deal with a devil. But it was what he wanted, more than anything. Welcome to Tartarus Online indeed. Even if the Hells’ are only a step away. [I will also be hosting this story on Scribble Hub, thank you.]

The Lay of the Black Doors
Nikha von Kranssov awakens one sunny morning to find that things have gone all wrong: Her maid has been murdered, her father is missing, and her house, Eldergrave Manor, is far larger and less familiar than it should be. She decides to grab her trusty rifle and set out into a home made strange and sinister, determined to find her father and confront whoever is responsible. The Lay of the Black Doors is a horror/adventure story that takes place in a secondary world. It is mainly inspired by the Cthulhu Mythos, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, China Miéville’s Bas-Lag books, M.T. Anderson’s The Game of Sunken Places, and Shea and Wilson’s The Illuminatus! Trilogy. Be warned that the story involves frightening situations and occasional dark themes, as well as some violence and gore. Weekly updates. No longer on hiatus! The cover image is not mine. It is "The Drawbridge," a 1761 engraving by Giovanni Battista Piranesi.
