《Society of Mythic People》Planning
Advertisement
Looking over everything laid out, Nora frowned. 2 water bottles, a jacket, a phone (an old flip-style), several bags of beef jerky, and a knife. She never really carried a purse, and with her new wings, a backpack wasn't going to work. If it weren't for the food, she would have just put everything in her pockets, but the salad from the other day gave her a good reason to be picky with what she ate. Her ears perked as the door opened, and a messenger bag was thrown onto the bed.
"Figured this might be easier for you to use."
Bradly never ceased to amaze her. It was almost like he could read her mind. When Frank had called to ask if she could go explore the city, he began reading out a whole list of things she could go see. He even reminded them that it would probably be to late to go that day. Add on top of that the fact that when he got back to the hotel, he had the solution to her current problem already in hand, she had to wonder.
"I just hope things go better tomorrow. I'm getting sick and tired of being told I'm defending 'monsters'."
"Are they wrong? I mean, I'm not human, right?"
Bradly sighed and put his head in his hands. "No, but if I don't convince them otherwise, there's no way they'll let you stay."
"Let me stay? Like, they'll deport me?"
"No?" His confusion hung in the air. "This is the UN we're talking about."
"Oh." The weight of the situation came to rest on Nora's mind again. Before, it felt like the world didn't care what happened to her. Bullied on the playground, the teachers didn't care. Ganged up on while playing sports, coach didn't stop them. Fired for... for nothing, why would the boss do anything about it. Hell, when she was robbed last summer, the cops acted like it was her fault. But now people payed attention to her, and she found herself wanting to go back to being nobody. To being able to walk outside. She didn't like it, but the protection made sense now. As strong as she was, there was no way she would survive if something happened. Not without others getting hurt.

"Get some rest. Hopefully having you out and about will show them that your just a normal person."
Bradly left the room. Nora began packing her things. Once she finished, she curled up in the large recliner chair, careful to avoid hurting her tail again, and looked over the list of things they would try and do tomorrow.
Battery Park in the morning, in an attempt to judge how the public would react. 9/11 memorial after that. Nora insisted on that one. Then Liberty Island. They wouldn't be able to go inside, but it was enough to be able to go see it. Lunch would back at the hotel. They had debated if Central Park Zoo would be OK, but he eventually relented. Muttering something about wanting to keep her out of there. A brief stop at Radio City Music Hall (she really wanted to know what the big deal was), and, assuming everything up to then went well, they'd go see the Fringe Fest.
It was a packed schedule, filled with a ton of travel. And she wouldn't be allowed to travel by herself. She sighed, stood up, and headed to bed. Hopefully tomorrow would go well.

In the End the Truth Remains
We all have our own philosophies that we subscribe to. We either create them ourselves, or we stumble across ones that resonate with us. Some may be evil, some may be good, some may be neutral, some may be incoherent, and some may be inconsistent. With this in mind, to what extent will we defend our beliefs? At the cost of our lives? Or at the cost of others? Beliefs are one of the most powerful and destructive things in the world. It drives us to act, pushes us to continue, and can lead to fulfillment. At first these things were only concepts that gave humanity meaning, but now they have become so much more…

The Villain's Double Life
“The Villain’s Double Life as the Hero’s Mentor," “Demon Nobles Want to Live Too: A Hero-Raising Simulator for the Transmigrated Villain," “Just Because I’m a Villain Doesn’t Mean I Want the World to End!” Cyrus Calvide was the second son of an aristocratic lord; haughty, vain and power-hungry. One day, when his ancestral inheritance manifested, he discovered he was able to steal other’s powers and abilities using demonic magic. Taking this as a sign that he was destined to rule over others and become the new king of this land, he poisoned his father, killed his elder brother, and embarked on the path to greatness, taking advantage of a demonic invasion to consolidate power and harvest the abilities of others in a cruel and bloody fashion. Until he was summarily defeated by the Hero as a mid-game boss battle and executed for his crimes, of course. When a dedicated fan of the RPG “Next to Eden” awakened in the body of the cruelest future Count, four years before the beginning of the game, he pledged to live humbly. He would let his brother lead and support the Hero from the shadows to ensure the demon invasion would be defeated and he could enjoy life in peace. Rather, he would have, if he hadn’t gotten the Hero’s mentor killed in a freak monster attack before the Hero’s training could even begin. How was he supposed to live a life of peace and luxury if the Hero couldn’t stop the end of the world!? Donning a mask, Cyrus took up mentoring the Hero himself; how hard could it possibly be? . . . Four years later, the kind jack-of-all-trades hero Leon had become a twisted powerhouse: alienating his party members, clearing enemy encounters in a single magical blast, and coldly ignoring the affections of the girl whose love would have allowed him to clear the final boss. He seemed to have plastered himself to his Master’s side, instead. Cyrus bit back his despair while the hero reached out to grasp his hand. “Please stop ignoring the saint, Leon; you can't beat the Demon King by grinding stats! You need the power of love, remember?” “Don’t worry, Master,” Leon smiled as he traced the lines of Cyrus’s palm gently, almost reverently. “I have all the love I need.” VDL is two parts plot and worldbuilding, one part slow-build gay romance, starring a man far too proud to admit he's in over his head and the hero who loves him. Should be updating weekly.
