《In Lockdown With Them》chapter 4: Drugs and UFOs
Advertisement
I felt something light hit the back of my head.
"Psst, Liv," I was currently sitting in Ms. Lockwood's History class, bored outta my fuggin mind when I heard Huda whisper yell my name.
I twisted my body and looked for Huda, she was sitting two rows behind me to the left, how she managed to aim whatever she threw at my head and make a perfect headshot? I have no idea.
"Underneath you" she mouthed.
I looked underneath me and found about twenty balls of crumpled paper, which I'm guessing are from her previous attempts of hitting me with. I picked one up and opened it slowly, trying not to make a lot of sounds.
It had one word written on it.
"Food" followed by a creepy smiley face.
I wasn't even surprised it didn't have anything to do with what happened half an hour ago, the both of us didn't give a damn about these things, okay... that's a lie, I gave an incy wincy tiny small little damn about what happened today, but you can't blame me, can you?
I smiled at myself and grabbed a Snickers bar from my bag, I was so used to this to a point that I actually started packing food just for Huda knowing she's going to eat all of hers before the first period even starts.
I aimed the Snickers bar at her lap and threw it, it landed on the floor, but hey, at least she got it in the end.
She smiled at me and started jumping in her seat mouthing "thank you" a million times. A few students looked at her weirdly, probably new ones, the rest were just used to Huda's hyperness. Is that a word? I don't even know.
She opened the wrapper loudly not even caring if the teacher could hear her or not and was about to take her first bite when Ms. Lockwood's annoying voice made her jump in her seat and let go of the chocolate bar, causing it to fall on the floor.

"Ms. Martin, what do you think you're doing?!"
And Huda being Huda answered "Drugs?" and closed her eyes, awaiting her death.
Ms. Lockwood just rolled her eyes and said "Throw the bar in the trash can and keep your eyes on the board, Miss Martin,"
Huda gasped and shot a hand over her mouth for dramatic effect, "ywou dwid no juss sway thad," Huda said, her hand muffling her horrified voice.
Ms. Lockwood looked at Huda weirdly, "Excuse me?"
"You told her to throw away food," I explained to Ms. Lockwood.
Ms. Lockwood rolled her eyes again and got back to teaching the lesson right after telling Huda to focus or she'll sit through detention and blah, blah, blah... y'know, typical teacher stuff.
I shook my head and continued to doodle on my notes.

"Liv, I'm telling you, we're all aliens, every one of us... human is just another fancy name our ancestors called us and we later made up the idea of green creepy creatures that come from outer space called aliens, when in reality we "humans" are the actual aliens."
We were making our way to the school parking lot, school had ended and Huda was trying to convince me that the comet that killed the dinosaurs was a Ufo and we are all just a bunch of aliens whose ancestors came out of that Ufo.
"Seriously? A Ufo? You're telling me we all came from a huge giant undefined lamp spaceship thing from outer space? Huds don't you think it's time for you to stop with the theory crap?"
"You did not just call a Ufo a giant lamp," Of course that's the only part she heard.

"No, I said a huge giant undefined lamp spac-"
"Yeah, yeah, whateve- OH! Oh! ... Speaking of lamps, do you think lamps actually suck the darkness of the room instead of producing the light that lights up the lighted room that was once dark?"
What the actual fuck.
"I-"
"OH MY GOD! Olivia! Listen! Listen! Hear me out! I got something! Listen!" Huda suddenly started jumping up and down before throwing herself on the floor and doing somersaults.
"What?"
She stopped doing somersaults and stared into space all of a sudden. She scrunched her face up and tilted her head to the side, clearly thinking about something.
"What?" I repeated.
"What?" She averted her gaze towards me.
"What, what?"
"Wuhhh-"
"You said you had something to tell me!" I almost yelled, growing extremely agitated.
"Holy shit." She smiled widely. "I forgot. HA. That's funny."
"How is that funny?"
"I don't know."
"What?"
"What what?"
"Oh my god Huda get your ass off the floor- and pat your pants because they're all dirty now-, we're going home and you're going to take your meds-"
"But-"
"Don't you even think about interrupting me you little shit. You're going to take your meds, or so help me god I swear I will not hesitate to shove them pills so far up your ass, ears, and nostrils."
Huda stared at me horrified. She got up. Got into the driver's side of her car. Played her favorite Rolling Stones, Arctic Monkeys, and Beatles albums. Drove us home. And took her meds.
Fina-frikin-ly.

8 3866Divine Creatures
Kestra, a [Combat Alchemist] and [Woods Wraith Hunter], is excited to finally receive her third class. But when she attempts to do so, she instead receives a tribulation from the God of Trials, loses her classes, and is informed by the voice of the world that she's been selected to transmigrate with only three days to go. She tries her damnedest to prepare, but even the Elements are different in this new realm. A relatively staid adjustment period is completely abandoned though as she finds that, most distressingly, hundreds of transmigrators have appeared recently with dozens enslaved by the local city lord. Fine! She may have lost her classes and the magic is funky, but she'll be damned if she doesn't have a few true-blue skills up her sleeves. [synopsis re-write by luda305] A light hearted romp where the protag transmigrator *isn't* from Earth. The main story takes place on more of a western xianxia world. Note: profanity tag is because of side characters, and sexual context tag is for some risqué elements before fade-to-black scene. Book 1 is written and scheduled for release a chapter a day till 9/26 (24 chapters total) Book 2 will be added after it is all written. Updated to add fanfic tag because when I picked up the latest Ten Realms I realized that series has had a lot more influence on the setting than I consciously realized. Don't expect military or industrial revolution in xianxia, though.

8 194Thief of Time
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Book 1: The Legend of Tot Synopsis: Claud Primus, a self-declared master thief, has a simple goal. To live forever. It's a rather easy task, for miraculous objects called lifestones are able to extend one's lifespan. These lifestones are best found in the treasuries of nobles, lovely resorts that Claud pays a visit to every so often. Unfortunately, one of those nightly visits go awry, and Claud is forced to escape with just a single lifestone and a box in hand. Normally, that's when things die down. The guards yawn, the gates close, and the night continues. But this time, the night isn't that forgiving. A dozen schemes result in the murder of someone important, and with a convenient scapegoat — Claud — at hand, it doesn't take long for him to be framed as a heinous criminal, wanted for the indirect murder of someone high up...and it just gets worse from there. Book 2: The Moon Lords' Rise Synopsis: As ordered chaos sweeps across Licencia, Claud leaves for Julan Barony, intent on making some profits there. Accompanied by the erstwhile heiress of Julan, a fellow member of the Moon Lords, the two plot against the barony's wealth...as well as a promise to bring about its downfall. Meanwhile, back home, the Moon Lords have busied themselves with digesting their gains. Eyes, however, are beginning to turn to this proverbial fish in a small pond. The fishermen are coming. When they cast their hook, what will Dia and the others do? Book 3: Murders under the Moons Synopsis: In the sleepy town of Nachtville, where Claud and Lily are forced to stop at, a set of nasty murders occurs. Victims scream out in fright, before a spear falls from the sky to end their suffering. Cowed and cautious, the master thief and his partner slink in the shadows, their objective that of home... A new task, however, has fallen on Dia. With a trusty helper at her side, she has to set off towards Nachtville itself, to solve the mystery Claud had abandoned. Faced with an enemy whose sole skillset is geared towards killing, how will they succeed? And what dark secrets will they find? Book 4: In the Dark of the Moons Synopsis: The year has ended. The four months of the full moons will soon be followed by two months of the new moons. Duke Istrel's ascension is around the corner. Amidst this political upheaval, Count Nightfall, Licencia's strongest defender, has been called away. The Moon Lords' largest task yet — to protect Licencia in the absence of its ruler — has begun. And yet, trouble is unrelenting. A distinguished personage, one that Claud fears, has been found dead in the county, his brains dug out and his body disemboweled. The inquisitors of the White Church have been dispatched to investigate and apprehend the murderer...as well as the person behind this puppet. Tormented by a call to fight, Claud directs his eyes out of the city, looking for the puppetmaster. Skulking in the shadows, the master thief will soon confront his greatest foe yet. A foe just like him. Book 5: Moonlit Tides and Darkened Seas Synopsis: A new era has begun. For the privileged, the sands of time dribble away for every passing moment, counting down to the arrival of a entity of mythical proportions. The night now harbours shadows and fog, and operatives of the Moons and the Dark clash in shadow. Claud, as usual, is investigating a spate of nasty disappearances in the city, but little does he know what these disappearances truly mean. And yet, a tide is coming. When it finally breaks, what will he do? Book 6: Secrets in Shadow Synopsis: The person behind a strike that would enter the annals of history flees his home, bringing with him the person closest to his heart into a new land and into a new world. Having left Istrel for the first time in his life, the two of them attempt to settle down in foreign lands, only to be caught in the middle of hostilities between two mighty powers grappling for dominion. Yet, none of that has anything to do with him. Following his desires, Claud eventually makes his way to the fabled Celestia Ruins, a fragment of another world. Bearing witness to truths he cannot yet comprehend, he returns from his exploration, a small break away from the machinations of destiny. One thing, however, is for certain. Destiny will not wait for him. Book 7: Reddest Rage Synopsis: Destiny churns on, heedless of mortal machinations, and Claud watches as the battlegrounds between the Moons and the Dark are drawn up. With the forces of the great Dark occupying Lostfon, Claud comes to a startling realisation — that he may have very well be a murderer of heinous proportions. Grappling with that realisation, he struggles to prepare for his Second Tutorial... Back in Istrel, Dia finds herself confronted with a perennial truth. Even in a time of writhing destiny, the machinations between nobles never cease to end — and unfortunately for her, the group once known as the Moon Lords are forced into dealing with a petty squabble between two counts. What they didn't account for, however, was the startling discovery they would soon make... And the shadow of the Red God's Holy Son behind it all. Book 8: Darkness Descends Synopsis: Nightmares haunt the horizon as Claud sinks and awakens from a seeming dream. What was once illusory begins to play out before him, in a way he cannot imagine. Dia, forced to wield arms, begins and ends a battle that opens her eyes to the vast dangers that lurk in this sundered world. Under the banner of humanity and divinity, she beholds the silent, forgotten protectors of Orb...but there is no forgetting the battle between the divinities. The Dark descends, the Moons writhe, and the horns of war blow once more. But this is not their battle. Not yet. Book 9: Moons Muster Synopsis: As more and more events fall into place, Claud finds himself desperate. Not for himself, but for the person who has turned into his world. Armed with the knowledge of a certain future, he approaches the only person that could possibly help him in his time of need, trading information for a promise of help. With that as solace, he returns to the grim task of understanding and seeking, revisiting an ancient, shattered fragment of another world...unleashing changes that he never knew was possible. Back in Istrel, Dia and the others must now navigate around a familiar spirit, who seeks to investigate the death of his master's Bearer. With them as prime suspects, the Seekers of Life must move carefully...but the Coloured Gods are not the only divinities eyeing them closely. The Moons, bristling from repeated defeats, are looking for new recruits, and the Seekers of Life are prime cannon fodder. Above all, destiny marches on, the unfeeling clock a warning to all. The Trial of Aeons will soon arrive. Book 10: Destiny Divine Synopsis: ??? Release frequency: one every few days or something, I guess.
