《Tour Guide | Steve Rogers ✓》Prologue
Advertisement
Quinn Greene tugged her blonde hair into a ponytail, swiping her keycard and entering through the employee's entrance into the Smithsonian.
It didn't take long for her to locate her favorite mug in the staff room, the coffee soon filling her system with a buzz that the lack of sleep hadn't. She had already known that staying for most of the night watching historical documentaries in her bed while eating ice cream probably wasn't the best idea. But what could she say? Is was so easy now that she wasn't staying with her dads' anymore, there wasn't anyone to caution her against it anymore.
The move to Washington D.C from New York had been a big one. Something that Quinn had at times not even wanted to do but no matter how hard she tried to forget that her dream job was on offer, it was never an option.
Of course, the move to Washington hadn't come at a better time, Quinn was the last person who wanted to get caught in the middle of the whole 'aliens coming from a hole in the sky' disaster. There wasn't a heroic bone in her body, she was much better suited to reading about real-life heroes and teaching others about them.
Quinn's eyes drifted to the couch chair where she had sat on the day, a year and a half ago, eyes glued to the TV, heart pumping wildly in fear for her parents, as a group of heroes who called themselves the 'Avengers' fought a bunch of aliens and a god in New York. It was an event to go down in the history books, Quinn just wasn't quite sure if that was the kind of history she wanted to relive.
But yet here she was, the start of a new day, the start of getting to be a tour guide in a new exhibition. Quinn already knew enough about the man, himself. He had fascinated her completely when her love of history had first come to life.

But still, as she wandered through the new red, white and blue exhibit just before opening time, Quinn still wasn't completely sold on the idea of showing the life of Captain America to the public.
Regardless, she still had to pay for the tons of ice cream she had delivered to her door each month, not to mention getting to do something that she still loved endlessly.
So, plastering a smile on her face, she looked around at the same group that had formed around her, eager to find out new knowledge about one of the countries' greatest heroes.
"Hi, I'm Quinn, and I'll be your Tour Guide for today."

Familiar In Chains
Familiar: A magical beast of one type or another which forms a magical bond with a mage who possesses a similar magical trait. Thus entering into a master-servant contract. Due to their abilities as a familiar, they possess all of the intelligence and knowledge of a human alongside the instincts and nature of a beast. Sourced From: My First Familiar Assigned text for third-year mages For young mages, obtaining their first familiar is a momentous occasion. Their magic forms a symbiotic relationship with their bonded mage, amplifying their's strengths and covering for their weaknesses. Often the strength of one's familiar is a key factor in how far a mage will go in their career. They are considered a necessity in the Empire of Afaron and the surrounding nations. Once familiars were caught in the wild and brought back for training and bonding. Eventually, however, the wild magic beasts were hunted to the point that they could no longer be found. Those that had been bred domestically would often produce magicless offspring. Nowadays the mages of Afaron know nothing of how familiars are bred, raised, and tamed. Once every three years, the Order of Beast Tamers come down from their mountain strongholds with caravans loaded with familiars purchased by noble families and magic academies. The Beast Tamer's generosity hides a dark truth. If you can't find a magic beast, make one. (Warning: Mild Nudity)

blacklight
So here’s the deal: my name is Kihri Vyas, and I’m dead. (That’s not really important, it happened ages ago, but it’s good to have the context.) Anyway, me and my sister Zarah (the only person who can see or hear me) have basically been on our own since I kicked the bucket, surviving on the streets of Kaila and sort of just being miserable and bored and tired a lot. I mean, I haven’t, cause I’m dead, but she has. It sucks, but that’s business as usual for us. What isn’t B-A-U is that a bunch of other homeless folks have been disappearing in the last few months, and some of them have been turning up with anatomically-improbable, but extraordinary fatal, injuries. Cops don’t give a shit, of course, and my sister’s a boneheaded bleeding heart, so we’ve been investigating them ourselves. And, well, we’ve found a bunch of weird shit. Stuff made of solid light, ghost attack dogs, people glowing black, somehow, some kind of living robot… Actually, you know what? It’s probably easier if you see for yourself. blacklight is a modern fantasy story it's not about being gay but rest assured its gay as fuck nevertheless it updates fridays at 2 p.m. AEST on its own site at https://spectrochroma.wordpress.com/ Chapters are uploaded here one week after they finish on the main site.
