《The Bartender at the End of the Universe》Ch 272: Settling in Yet Again
Advertisement
Harold was a little late, but introductions were made. Names were exchanged, but not much else. Whenever they started to explain something, Azrail would trail off on some tangent before someone interrupted him. Like a wheel that would spin, but never actually went anywhere.
"No, seriously." Og'drimun argued.
"I'm telling you, that's the way it happened." Abraham snorted derisively.
The demon sat next to the holy warrior. Two mugs of alcohol sat at their sides.
"But he's never said a word!" The demon continued.
"If you'd just listen," Abraham snapped. "You'd know that he did say something. All prim and proper too."
Og'drimun shook his head. "You must've imagined it. Guy wouldn't even move if it wasn't to slice something in half."
"Oh yeah, he did that too," Abraham nodded with a smirk. "Guy really knew how to get the blood spilling."
"Heh, you should see me in my prime," Og'drimun smirked. "Now that's real power. I could barely be contained when I let out a sliver of it around here."
"Oh yeah?" Abraham mused. "You could show me now."
"Hah! Good one." Og'drimun snorted. "You definitely don't want that."
"Oh, but I really do." Abraham grinned maliciously. "Unless you're scared?"
Abraham grabbed his mug with a quick swing of his arm, and quickly downed the whole thing in one quick swig.
"I'm not scared!" Og'drimun protested. "I mean, as if I could be scared. I'm so powerful after all. It's just...uh...it's just...a hassle! Yeah, it's such a hassle really, not worth it at all. I'd have to convince Narissa too, and it'd be a whole thing."
"Uh huh." Abraham said.
"Seriously, you'll just have to take my word on how awesome I was, and how powerful I really am." The demon continued.

"They're staying there, right?" Ted asked.
Narissa raised an eyebrow at Ted. "That's what you're worried about? Not how this place is suddenly back and better than ever?"
"I mean," Ted shrugged. "I figure I'd focus my priorities. Making sure they're on the road to recovery feels more important than figuring our what happened."
"And do you actually trust these new guys?" Narissa asked.
Ted wasn't sure why she would ask that. "Of course I do." He said.
I mean, he had nothing to go off of but their word. So why not? What would really be different than how things were with the others? Although, he did want to try and get communal dinners going with then ro help them ease into things.
Narissa shook her head. "Your naivete can really be frustrating at times." Then, she reached over and ruffled his hair. "But I guess at least it suits you."
"Hah, yeah yeah." Ted sighed as he backed away from her reach. "Oh! That reminded me. I should get to work on some kind of alcohol. They got into the stores, and we probably have little to none left."
Narissa nodded. "I can't say I'd be opposed to that. As long as you could see fit to start with some fruity rum?"
Ted smiled. "That's a great idea! As long as I can find something fruity. A nice safe option everyone could enjoy."
"Oh sure. Everyone." Narissa nodded. "Well, I suppose I should assess the damage and claim my room yet again."
She placed a gloved hand on the stair's railing. "This place it feels almost the same as before, and yet completely different."
"Well, maybe we should think of another nand other than the oasis?" Ted suggested.
Narissa started to walk up the stairs. "Whatever you prefer. I'm not overly committed one way or another dear."
Ted silently waved to her before he turned snd walked towards the kitchen. Now, that was the place he really needed to check out.

Shadowrun: Blake Island School of Magic
It's a high tech, low life. It's the Seattle Metroplex in 2074. It rises like a steel and concrete cancer out of the earth. Poverty is rampant, corruption is everywhere, crime is out of control, corporations basically control everything, the old United States is fractured, magic has come back and now it turns out that humanity has been joined by elves, dwarves, orks and trolls. The old world ended but the rent is still due. Life goes on. You'd be surprised what people can adapt to, especially if they don't have a choice. One of the places where life goes on is just west of Seattle. Surrounded by the waters of the Puget Sound is an island. On that island is the Blake Island School of Magic. A decade ago it was known for producing some of the most talented awakened in the world. That reputation was hijacked by the wealthy corporate elite who now park their teenage children there. And since it's a boarding school, their parents mostly forget about them. Three young people, who are certainly not wealthy or elite, are chosen this year to attend this school of magic in hopes of revitalizing their reputation for talent. One from the ash drifts of the Puyallup Barrens, one from the most densely populated slum hive in the world and one from prison. This is their story. -- This story is set in the Shadowrun universe. If you're not familiar with Shadowrun, it mostly tells the stories of deniable mercenaries called shadowrunners in a cyberpunk dystopia. Instead of telling another story solely about shadowrunners, this story will tell the tale of young people navigating a world that is indifferent to them at best and actively hostile at worst. Shadowrunners will be in the story and we'll see them operate, but they won't be its main focus. This story originally began in 2017 as a passion project and continues to this day on the Somethingawful.com forums. The unedited version is over a million words strong. There are currently seven books in this series and I am currently in the process of editing them. If you read this story then you won't lack for content. -- The Topps Company, Inc. has sole ownership of the names, logo, artwork, marks, photographs, sounds, audio, video and/or any proprietary material used in connection with the game Shadowrun.

Falling For A Man Of The City
He stood up momentarily discarding his shirt, eliciting a small moan from me at the sight of his physique. His body would always take my breath away at the black ink and scars littered holding a story of their own. When my eyes moved down past his pectoral muscles to his pants I felt my breath hitch in my throat at the view of his manhood straining against the fabric. If I didn't feel shy with the way he was admiring me, I certainly felt shy when he reached out to remove my underwear. It was the first time I had ever allowed anyone to see a part of my body that I had been taught to guard fiercely so it was only natural that I look away feeling self-conscious. Considering I wasn't making any effort to hide it, he chuckled lightly making me blush when he went further to spread my thighs gently unveiling the secret that I had been yearning for him to see. "You have such a pretty pussy," were the words that came out as more of a growl. Turning to look at him, I found his eyes already watching me causing my chest to constrict in sweet agony, "I'm going to enjoy eating you, my little gazelle," he cooed gently falling to his knees in a prayer like motion. Only this form of prayer was far beyond holy but aimed to please and was sacred in its own way... ***When Aaliyah Winston waltzed into the city of New York in search of a new life, unexpectedly she is thrust into a world. She gains more than she bargained for once she catches the eye of the leader of the Mafia. Drenched in decadence and an allure that has her throwing all caution aside, he proves to be more than meets the eye. As they indulge in an attraction so powerful and addictive surpassing that of any drug it's in their aim for love, when family secrets and lies are exposed. It's quite a risk to allow a man like him into her bed. Yet the true test of whether they'll survive lies if she can accept hands that have been painted in blood holding her heart.
