《What the Green Bird Sees》February 12th - Retrouvaille

Retrouvaille (noun): joy of reuniting with someone after a long time apart
The line was unbearably long.
Overhead, the fluorescent lights shone a little too warmly. The aimless conversations of salarymen and blue collar workers seemed to poke her like miniature needles. Amidst of the dense pack of people, she felt as if she couldn’t breathe.
She heard the barista call her name.
Immediately, she rose from her window seat and made a beeline straight for the counter, carefully navigating so she didn’t touch anyone. The door was swinging shut behind her as soon as she picked up her strawberry açaí.
Outside, she winced at a new influx of heat and sunlight, the iced drink in her hand feeling rather inviting.
She took a quick sip.
Oh-
That was definitely a good five dollars wasted.
The gentle pink of the drink itself and the vibrant red of the strawberries floating in it were seemingly friendly, for the taste of the liquid was insufferably flavorless with a sickening sour aftertaste.
However, she bit her lips and drank on.
Memories of her old friend came fluttering back; past adventures around the enormous city, all day, everyday, sharing nothing but a strawberry açaí.
The ice cubes in the cup did nothing to ease her scorching body, but the welcoming, ancient thoughts made her relax her shoulders.

Grand Design
Humanity once ruled space, building an empire that stretched across hundreds of stars. Now Earth is a cold cinder in the void, its colonies and ships annihilated in an instant. For five thousand years the surviving races have huddled in the dying light of those few stations which avoided total destruction, eking out their existence in the shadow of the long-dead humans who built their homes. When a piece of that lost legacy resurfaces, the few who still remember humanity have one last opportunity to find the truth and avenge the fallen.

Catalyst: Avowed
The year is 605, and in your home— the country of Corcaea— the souls of mankind belong to demons. A phenomenon known as the "Catalyst" is what's to blame. This diabolical phenomenon lurks within every man, woman, and child. It can turn any human into a demon, if they fall prey to one, all-consuming element. It can be anything. Fear. Grief. Generosity. Even love. In a land where Gods are real and Corcaea's theocracy is the last hope for mankind, you follow in the footsteps of Father Richard Anscham: a deeply disturbed young priest, the leader of the Church of Mercy, and the foremost researcher of the Catalyst. Despite completing a holy mission from the Goddess of Mercy, obtaining a holy Relic, and escaping from demon-infested ruins, Father Anscham is in greater peril than ever before. Ravaged in mind, body, and soul, the solace he begs to receive from the Church of Flesh is impeded by a cruel lesson: the ramifications of a life spent sacrificing everything one has for others. See through the harrowing eyes of a man at his wit's end; through a dark fantasy tale of horror, hope, and desperation. Search for the cure. Conquer your personal demons. Welcome to Catalyst! As this is an archive of Catalyst Quest (an interactive, collaborative story), the prompts that were included with the original run of Avowed have been stripped, and the story is presented like a traditional novel for your reading convenience. If you would like to read Catalyst in its original format or participate in current events, you can find us here, on Sufficient Velocity. This book is complete! The story will continue with Catalyst: Calunoth, just as soon as I am done revising its content for here on Royal Road.
