《TNS Piper Season 8 (Must Read)》My Finn or your Finn??

Piper's pov:
I ran to our second living room next to my dining room to add some extra decor. I decided that we should give James and Riley a break, so I talked to mum, then when she gave me the thumbs, I texted Richelle to let her know that we can hang out at my actual house instead of James and Riley's house.
I shut the door and then opened it again to admire my work as if I hadn't seen it before (anyone else relate??). I think I did a pretty good job, even if I do say so myself. This room was usually just a chill room that we sometimes went to, just to sit with each other and talk or to get away from everyone and everything. I use that room the most though, if I'm honest. So anyways, I decorated there with blankets and cushions, I also cleaned there THOROUGHLY and I am pretty pleased with how boho it looks, maybe I should become an interior designer... you know what, never mind! I took a quick picture for instagram and put a caption saying '
I heard a knock and rushed to the door and yanked it open. "Hey, Rich!" I said, as she pulled me in for a hug. "Hey Pipes!". I began telling her about how I decorated the second living room, while she laughed at my excitement over a room, but I paused when I noticed Tiana standing behind her. Was I glad that she was here? Yeah of course, but I hope she and Richelle are cool, because I don't want there to be a murder in my house today!
Tiana's pov:
I smiled and waved at Piper, she wasn't expecting me, and you could see the shock on her face. I realised that she probably didn't want me around after everything that happened, so I shifted awkwardly on my feet, while I mumbled that I could go, if she wasn't comfortable having me at her house.
As I turned to leave, Piper grabbed my arm and said, "No, no! It's just that i didn't know that you and Richelle were cool, last time we talked, you were like-", "Yes, yes! We know what Ti's like! Well, we talked it out, I apologised and we made up. So I invited her to hang with us.... Oh, I'm so sorry Piper, I forgot to text and ask you, is it okay?" Richelle stepped in. "No, of course it's okay, just making sure that no one's going to try and kill anyone!" Piper said whilst laughing as she pointedly looked at me and Richelle before bursting into a fit of laughter again, as me and Richelle also laughed as well.
We walked into her house, and apart from a few renovations, her home looked the same as it did the last time I came there. She opened the door to the living room (or second one, whatever!😂), clearly too excited for our reaction! Me and Richelle walked in and oh my.... This place was gorgeous! Really boho themed! I saw a floating chair hanging from the ceiling and I felt like it was calling me, as soon as I made a step towards it, Piper ran and beat me to it, sitting with her legs crossed like a lady, "this my dear, is MY chair." I playfully sighed and crashed onto the sofa, it was really comfortable, I NEEDED this sofa in my life!

"Let's play truth or dare!" Richelle said with a mischievous smile on her face. I've played this game with her before, honestly it was fun but at the same time it was awful! If you pick truth, she would do all in her power to coax the actual truth out of you and if you picked dare she would come up with the hardest ones, the forfeit dare was even worse! This was gonna be fun!
Richelle's pov:
I suggested truth or dare, so that we could all get to know each other better as it's been long since me and Piper have hung out with Tiana, and it's been ages since me and Pipes hung out too. But also, I love playing this game, I get to see how far a person is willing to go to beat me, because trust me, I NEVER back down from a dare - I am made of titanium! Anyways, since I suggested the game, I volunteered myself to go first.
"Okay, Tiana, truth or dare?" I asked. She and Piper both knew how I played this game, it was not made for the weak. She looked me in the eye and said, "dare!" That, my friends, was a challenge, and I don't back down from those! "Fine! I dare you to go to one of Piper's neighbours, ask them how they're doing, then randomly ask them for love advice!" I said, what? It was all I could think of on the spot, plus I wanted to see if she'd really do it. Her eyes went wide with shock for a moment but that was then replaced with a determined smile.
Me and Piper sniggered as we watched her knock on some rando's door. An elderly man opened the door and stared at her with annoyance. "Yes?!" He asked impatiently. "How are you doing, I thought I'd see how the majority of the neighbourhood was doing?" Tiana asked, with a sickly sweet smile on her face. The old man chuckled and told her that he was doing good, a little tired but he was still doing good. "Can I ask you for some advice on true love?" She asked with puppy dog eyes.
I couldn't, I just couldn't! I ran into the kitchen and burst out laughing, she looked so ridiculous asking this guy for love advice! When she finally finished, she came back inside with a scowl on her face but she also joined me and Piper in laughing. After we wiped our tears of laughter away, Tiana turned to me and asked truth or dare. I picked dare of course, like duh! What did I say about backing away from challenges? Exactly, I don't! She turned to me with an evil smile and in that moment, I realised that I shouldn't have underestimated how good she was at this.

"I dare you to... call Ozzy, the one that keeps asking you out, tell him that you love him and didn't know how to tell him. Then ask him out on a date!" She said, spluttering with laughter. My mouth was hanging wide open, how the hell did she find out about Ozzy asking me out?! I turned and glared at Piper as she fell over from laughing, telling me how sorry she was, but didn't know that this was gonna be my dare. I took a deep breath in and rung Ozzy, being the hopeless fool in love, he picked up on the first ring. "Hello, my love, what brings you to my contact today?" He said. I visibly cringed, and spewed out everything that Tiana wanted me to say.
"Richelle, my love! I'd be honoured to! You don't know how many times this happened in my dream-" he started, "Wait! We are going to that movie as friends, this is a friends date, am I clear?!" I shouted. "Of course! Next time though, I guarantee that you'll be asking me to be your boyfriend! Goodbye Richie, see you next saturday!" I switched off my phone, cringing still but not completely hating the idea of hanging out with Ozzy, I mean he wasn't a bad person...
I realised that Piper and Tiana were both staring at me with their mouths hanging open, it was only then I realised that I was smiling and twirling my hair! Dear Lord, I never did that! Especially not for a boy, definitely not Ozzy! They suddenly screamed out saying that I really did like him, and they laughed for ages! "OMG, shut up, already!" I screamed. They stopped laughing but I could hear them sniggering. I threw a pillow at Piper who yeeted like three at me, and when I aimed for her again, I accidently hit Tiana, and she had a look on her face that said, 'it's on'. Two against one, let's do this.
After I failed miserably at the pillow fight, we slowly stopped laughing as Tiana asked Piper, truth or dare. "Truth, obviously after how that went down!" She laughed. "Okay, do you have anyone special?" She asked, excitement written all over her face, practically begging for Piper to say yes!
Tiana's pov:
I really hoped she would say yes. After what I heard from Richelle about some dude named Josh, I hoped that her heart had healed and that she'd move on, because I know Piper, and how she can be sometimes. "Yes, I do!" She said, almost shyly. I squealed with joy and hugged her as I begged her to tell me about this guy. "Well, his name is Finn-" she started, "OMG, i have a friend called Finn!" I said. "No way! That's crazy." She said as she continued telling me about him, he sounded so adorable, I was so happy for Piper!
She then asked me about my Finn and I told her about how awesome he was, and how great of a friend he was. I also told her and Richelle about how he comforted me when I was sad or angry about what happened with us three girls. My Finn couldn't have been the same as her Finn, because my Finn went to a different studio with some rude as lady, to be fair, I knew about 4 Finns, don't even ask me how or why!
"So do you like him, like him?" Piper asked me with sly eyes. "Yeah, do you?" Richelle asked as I rolled my eyes. "Well I used too, but not anymore, I realised that I cherised him as a best friend more than anything so... yeah. I haven't seen him in a while though, I wonder how he's doing?" I said, as someone knocked on the door. Piper rushed up and went to open it and me and Richelle heard her scream, "Finn!". I had to go and see this famous Finn that captured Piper's heart!
She was hugging him and I couldn't see his face properly, but when Richelle came and cleared her throat loudly, she moved from his arms and went to introduce him to me. OMG, Finn! I didn't recognise him with that perm, it kind of suited him. "Oh my gosh! Finn!" I screamed as I ran and jumped into his arms as he swung me around. "Ti!", he yelled, "It's been ages what are you doing here?!" I went to go stand in between Richelle and Piper as i said, "Just hanging with my girls!". "Wait, i didn't know my Finn was the same as your Finn!" I squealed as I tugged on Piper's arm. She smiled and nodded, as Finn went to hug Richelle. I noticed that she seemed kind of... sad and almost disappointed, but why?

Empathic capacity of a teaspoon
Reincarnating with the gamer interface was all a part of the plan, being reborn as Ron Weasley not so much. It was something I could work with, sure. Magic is great! But as I would soon learn, it had the tendency of introducing a plethora of other issues.

Many Minded
Synopsis: Issa Pyxis, Spacer orphan and illegal heretic, graduated from living on the streets to running with a gang years ago, but now it looks like that’s all going to change. Her inheritance, more specifically who—or what—she is, is catching up with her, and on a planet with the Emperor’s inquisitors slinking around in every shadow, nowhere is safe and no one can be trusted. What will she do? A cyberpunk story about identity, loneliness, covert infiltration, evil dystopias, and much more! Features: - Cyborgs and cyberpunk galore - This is indented to be somewhat “rational” and “hard” Sci-Fi story - Original Fiction however parts of my worldbuilding are inspired by other Sci-Fi stories (duh) Rationale: The future is cool, AIs are kickass, and questions about consciousness are simultaneously existential and yet unanswered. To me, this story is a vehicle for exploring these topics, and also, I wanted to write a story where the protagonist was unafraid of themselves and where their self is more like a git-repo than a meat computer. Disclaimer: This story primarily takes place in what we’d describe as a “cyberpunk dystopia” with some extra technocracy, autocracy, and religious fervor thrown into the mix, so there will be some “grittiness” in this story. Caveat emptor. Also, [insert your favorite boilerplate “views expressed” disclaimer here]. I shouldn’t need to say this, but the main character and other characters in my story can be wrong on occasion (gasp!) and the way they view the world isn’t always objective truth (if such a thing even exists) nor do their views and opinions necessarily reflect the views of me, the author. Cover art by me! [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

If you want to survive you will need to pick a company and stay loyal to that brand. But it goes beyond that, because each corporation has been infiltrated and taken over by forces that are interested in more than just profit. John is a Skinwalker, a free man, a man who is immune to these restrictions. He goes where he wants and does what he wants, moving from one augmented reality to the next, always looking for the next score.
