“Zoe, why are you wearing a dress? We’re going to get your new bike, not a car,” Jim said.
“Why are you wearing a suit? We’re just going after my bike,” Zoe countered. “Besides, I’m not wearing a dress. This is a long skirt and a t-shirt.”
“I wear a suit because it looks good and you know what I mean,” Jimmy huffed. “You can’t wear a dress and ride a bike. Well, unless you’ve decided to change careers and want to show off your goods.”
“That’s not funny Jimmy. I’m wearing a dress because it’s clean and the dealership should have some new clothing for bike riding waiting for me too,” Zoe explained.
“Oh. Went all out huh?”
“Yeah. I decided if I’m going to do this, I might as well do it right and that included the bike and clothing,” Zoe replied.
“You’ll need sunglasses too.”
“Why? My Kaisers,” Zoe said pointing at her eyes, “can filter and dim as needed.”
“It’s part of the look,” Jim said pulling his sunglasses out of his inner jacket pocket.
“I’ll have a helmet on. Who will see my eyes?”
“Oh. Yeah, I forgot about that. Helmets are still the law for bike riders.”
“I’m surprised you know that.”
“I’m not dumb. I had to wear one when I rode a bicycle as a kid, and I looked into getting a motorcycle once.”
“Really? Motorcycle doesn’t seem like a mobster thing.”
“You’d be surprised what is a family thing,” Jimmy shrugged.
“Maybe. I doubt I’ll ever find out.”
“That’s probably true,” Jimmy agreed. “The family can be very traditional.”
“Is tradition what it’s called when they don’t want women to be part of something?” Zoe asked.

“I…stop busting my balls!” Jimmy exclaimed. Zoe laughed. “Are you ready to go?”
“Yeah. I’ll message Zane to let him know we’re going.”
“Ma, we’re leaving,” Jimmy shouted towards the kitchen. “You know, I’m surprised you’ve so readily adapted to using your frame.”
“Be careful you two!” Aunt Anne shouted.
“Bye Aunt Anne,” Zoe shouted back. Focusing on her cousin, she asked, “What makes you say that?”
“You were raised in the purity church,” Jimmy replied as if that explained everything.
“So? That doesn’t mean I had to agree with everything they espoused.”
“Are you saying you’ve secretly always wanted a frame?” Jimmy asked as they entered the elevator.
“Maybe. I can’t deny that what I was raised to believe and taught hasn’t had an impact, but I also can’t deny the thrill I get from breaking the church’s rules and using something that has quickly became a large part of me.”
“Can’t imagine not having a frame or how you lived without it already?” Jimmy asked smiling at Zoe.
“Exactly!” Zoe agreed. They exited the building and walked to the car Jimmy was using. “Are you ever going to get your own car?”
“I’m hoping to do so in a few more months,” Jimmy answered unlocking the doors. “Why? Do you ask?”
“I just find it curious that Tony and Nucky lets you use a ‘company car’ whenever you want,” Zoe replied getting in the passenger seat and shutting the door.
“That’s because I drive Tony and Tommy around a lot,” Jimmy said shutting his door.
“Why haven’t you already bought a car?”
“Because rent isn’t cheap. I spend 5K a month on ma’s place, plus 3K on utilities and food.” Jimmy answered. Zoe blanched. “Then I must have spending money, maintain my wardrobe, and put some in savings,” he continued. “Besides, cars are more expensive than your bike.”

“I didn’t know how expensive cars are until I looked them up, that’s one of the reasons I decided on the bike. I had no idea rent and all were so expensive though.”
“Even a rundown one room apartment in a bad neighborhood will cost you between 1500 and 2000 credits a month before utilities.”
“Ugh. I’m not looking forward to that,” Zoe admitted. “I can’t stay with you and Aunt Anne forever.”
“That’s true. I’ll help you find a place when you’re ready. I know some people,” Jimmy offered.
“Thanks.”
“Don’t mention it,” Jimmy replied. “Speaking of help, I want to get you started on your debt to Nucky. Take this.”
Jimmy sent Zoe a message.
“I can’t accept this,” Zoe protested after opening it. Jimmy had sent her 10000 credits.
“You can. Zoe, you may not be blood, but you are family,” Jimmy said. “The family isn’t. You can pay me back anytime you can. If you can’t pay Nucky back, well, he’ll collect one way or the other.”
“And you’re just telling me this now? You let me borrow money from him.”
“Yeah. I didn’t think you would borrow 50K from the family though.”
“It’s 49000 credits now.”
“What?”
“I sliced the Knight site and had it redirect visitors to Capone’s restaurant’s site as proof that I could do the things Nucky and I had talked about.”
“Ah. So, they took a grand off the debt,” Jimmy concluded. Zoe nodded. “When you start making courier runs, you’ll probably only make between 25 and 50 credits a run.”
“Yeah, that’s what I read too.”
“That’s not bad, but it’s not good either.”
“Right. Though once I have a good reputation, I could make a grand or more a run.”
“Uh huh. But it’ll take a long time to get that sort of reputation,” Jimmy pointed out. “So, take the 10K and use it to pay off some of the debt you have. Once you’re a success, you can pay me back.” He then grinned. “I won’t even charge interest.”
Zoe laughed. “Alright.” She leaned over and kissed Jimmy’s cheek. “Thanks Jimmy.”
“Cut out the mushy stuff,” Jimmy said. “You’ll ruin my image.”
“Yeah, yeah.”
“You know if you’re up for some slightly illegal work, you could make a lot of credits slicing.”
“I know. I’ve already done a little of that,” Zoe admitted. “I sliced 5000 out of Nathaniel Wyatt’s accounts, which is part of why I’m not over 50000 in debt to the mob.”
Jimmy laughed. “You keep surprising me Zoe.”
“That’s a good thing,” Zoe replied. “Zane will meet us at the dealership.”
“Cool. Let’s go pick up Tommy and we’ll meet him there.”
“Do we have to?”
“Afraid so. You know Tony insists we both go with you.”
“Fine. I’m going to work on my daemons while you drive.”
“Works for me,” Jimmy replied turning on the radio and putting the car into drive.
“I can’t believe you actually listen to the radio.”
“It’s traditional,” Jimmy replied.
“You’re lucky you’re driving, or I would smack you.”
“Yep. Lucky me,” a grinning Jimmy replied while turning up the music.

Micah Ever After
[Note: New chapters will not be released on this site anymore, nor will previous chapters receive any edits or updates. To continue reading beyond chapter 6, please use this link to find MEA on Scribble Hub. Sorry for the inconvenience.] Sawatari Mikasa was a normal high school girl. She was great at sports, had above-average grades, lots of friends, and a little brother that she loved more than anything in the world. To Mikasa, life couldn't be more perfect. That is, until the day she received the phone call that shattered her world. "Yuu has been hospitalized." Her precious younger brother, Yuu. In a fit of panic, Mikasa raced towards the hospital to check on him. But her negligence threw her straight into the path of an oncoming car... And that was how the girl known as 'Sawatari Mikasa' lost her life. When she awoke, she found herself before the being known as 'God', who presented her a second chance at life in a new world. She accepted, and only had one question: "What happened to Yuu?" But God would not give her an answer, and before she knew it she was being reborn in a world of monsters and magic straight out of a fantasy novel. However, she wouldn't be satisfied with that. 'I need to go home and find out what happened' This became Mikasa- no, Micah's goal in this new world. Even if she had to become God's enemy, or even that of the world's, she would do whatever it takes to make sure her brother is safe. If Yuu had recovered safely in the hospital, then she would be happy. Having fulfilled her duties as an older sister to the best of her ability, she would peacefully live in this world for the rest of her life. But if Yuu had somehow died, and was in this world too... 'Find Yuu' or 'Find God'. I don't care which comes first. Micah's journey to find her 'Happily Ever After' had begun.

Summoning America
Entirely cut off from Earth, the United States finds itself in a scientific impossibility: the entire country, including the continental landmass and separated states and territories, was transported to another world. Unlike Earth, this new planet boasts phenomena unknown to science. Magic reigns supreme in this new region of the universe, bolstered by the natives' own scientific progression. Monsters roam wastelands and dungeons, subsisting off unfortunate travelers, local fauna, and sometimes even entire towns! Ambassador Samuel Anders is tasked with contacting the various nations and entities of this new world. Despite his best attempts at diplomacy, the arrogance and hostility of the natives prove to be an unnavigable barrier. War is the only alternative. Eventually, fears surface regarding an ancient evil: the Ravernal Empire. How will the United States handle the threats of this new neighborhood? What magical wonders will its adventurous citizens find? This Summoning Japan inspired work will follow the United States as it is summoned to a New World. The story will begin with the United States’ initial encounter with the Rodenius continent. Although starting similarly to the original story, Summoning America will begin to diverge greatly as the war against the Lourian Kingdom comes to an end. For the context of this work, I expect that you have already familiarized yourself with the original piece, “Summoning Japan” also known as “Nihonkoku Shoukan”.
