《》What Kind Of Dad He Would Be
Advertisement
First thing I thought of this morning when I woke up: "If I eat leftover spicy thai curry for breakfast, will I regret it the rest of the day?"
Second thing I thought of was this scenario.
I guess I had Father's Day on the brain...
-Both of them will make uniformly fantastic fathers when the time comes. However, they will both sign up for the following courses before the blessed arrival:
-Breaking The Cycle Of Toxic Parenting
-Yes, You Can Create Your Own Destiny
-Forgiving Your Family Of Origin
-Anger Management For New Parents
-Let Go, Let God (Meetings on Monday in the chapel hall--all faiths welcome!)
-Daily podcast: Surviving Narcissistic Parents 101--How To Move Past Your Childhood And Rewrite Your Own Future
-Are you kidding, he will be an ecstatic, over-the-moon father who walks around staring at the sky saying "Thank you, God!" every chance he gets
-He's REPOPULATING THE CLAN!
-If the kid ends up having your eyes instead of his, there may be a little trouble, but hey. He'll just wear you out until you get that Mendelian thing right.
-Everyone thinks he'll be such a good dad!
-And he is a good dad! He's soooo nice!
-He's a little immature still and loses his temper over dumb shit, some things you just don't outgrow, but he's still the coolest dad on the block
-Everyone thinks he'll be a rotten dad!
-Bingo! He is a rotten dad! He's soooo unbelievably shit!
-Being a self-centered asshole, having a kid throws him into a panic about "getting old" so he spends all his time staring in the mirror, looking for nonexistent wrinkles, and fixing whatever miniscule imperfections he finds with Texture Surprise
-Ends up being that irritating parent who takes kiddie sports leagues way too seriously, showing up at the soccer field and grimly jotting down plays so he can bark at his 5-year-old later. "What was that? You get a case of the fucking yips out there? Of course it has to be the day your grandfather is watching."

-Will listen in on his kids' conversations with friends and interject comments at opportune moments. If his kid says something like, "Wow, I lost my mind!" during a group chat, he will announce in a ringing tone, "Ah! I see! Is that why you brought home a D in algebra last week?"
-Is a kind, patient, loving, and good father, but because he is a perfectionist, he can't stop himself from thinking every single time he looks at his child: "I know I put a condom on that night. What the hell happened?"
-Feitan knows how babies are made, but he prides himself on having strong pullout game. I mean, you gotta hand it to him, he made it to almost age 30 without any whoopsies
-Something will eventually come along that wrecks his batting average, however
-He'll quit the Phantom Troupe. It's all fine and well for Chrollo to remain in the Troupe as a dad, because he's the boss and gets to sit around and give orders, but grunt work in the Ryodan sucks and is definitely not conducive to fatherhood... so, he'll be brushing up his LinkedIn
-"Dude! If Danchou and Fei are dads, I want to be one tooooooo!"
-(Feitan and Chrollo:) "You're good dude. Just keep it in your pants. Go hang out with Franklin"

Dark Moon Era
When a glorious old civilization was toppled overnight, a strange purple moon rose and thus began the Purple Moon Era. Damn it! What kind of ecosystem was this? The evolution was messy. Even rabbit bites and plants were not to be messed with. How can one survive all this? Evolve into a Purple Moon Warrior? What did this have to do with the Purple Moon? What kind of map was this? The Safety Sector? The Floating Domain? The Darkness Port? The Storm Voyage? The True Capital? The Horror Lullaby List? The resurrection of the Underground Tribe and the prospering Underground City? The Chaos Black Market that suffused the world? The Bloody Road? More importantly, one could end up in a bloody slaughter when dreaming and enter the Dream Domain? Fine, this damned era!

AV Online was just a flash in the pan—a harsh, experimental land which lost most of its players in mere weeks. Only the dedicated few remained, carving out their destinies in corners of the vast abandoned world. Lily Quinn wasn't one of them. With a career worth millions in the esports world, she didn't have time for a game like Avo—but when an exclusive beta test for the new version showed up on her doorstep, she couldn't say no… as much as she wanted to. Literally hooked into the simulation, Lily reluctantly entered a world beyond anything she'd ever dreamed of. Accompanied by seven other beta testers desperate to save their beloved game, Lily dives into a vibrant, beautiful world, where mystery and adventure waits around every corner. Despite her reservations, Lily finds a joyful escape in Avo, shattering her cold, hollow reality. It was just a game though… until the group discovered they couldn't log out. Trapped in a game with no rules, and surrounded by cutthroat players eager to kill for a quick windfall, Lily and her ragged band have no choice but to fight their way out, or die in a game that has turned all too real. Hi there! I'm setting off on yet another adventure, come join me :3 Unusually for me, there's only one perspective this time, and it's quite a bit more action-oriented than I usually write. Don't worry, though: everything's still as character-driven as always, and I never get tired of writing dialogue. Just to acknowledge it up front: this story is heavily inspired by EVE Online and the many stories generated by that world. However, since this is a fantasy setting, not sci-fi, don't expect any real parallels. Chapter publish rate for this one will be whenever I write them, as with Epilogue. I don't expect to move as fast here though, since it's not for NaNo. The plan is chapters somewhere in the 4k-5k range, and hopefully frequently. The Last Science takes priority as always though. Special thanks to Reaver and Ace Arriande for pushing me to get this going, and to all my fellow writers whom I've stolen from been inspired by. You're all wonderful people and I love you Quick reminder: Patrons get to read ahead of what's published! Also, try my other works: The Last Science — A Tale of Modern Magic Epilogue — A Post-Fantasy Psychodrama What are you still doing on the synopsis? Get to reading!
