《What the Green Bird Sees》Apricity

Apricity (noun): the warmth of sun in winter
The snow fell like the feathers of an angel.
Silently, the ice crystals painted the road and trees with a thin veil of white. Her own scarf also took on a white sheen as she made her way through the snow-covered path to her home.
“Oh! You’re back!”
A tiny child charged through the snow and slammed into her, the little pom-pom on his beanie quivering with excitement.
She couldn’t help but laugh. “Yes, I am. And you know what that means…”
The kid almost rocketed off the ground. “Snowman!!”
With that declaration, the two of them began construction.
The seemingly melancholy cold felt welcoming to her. She’d spent plenty of months under the warm, shining sun of California, but the chilly snow here felt more like a home than sunshine ever was. Here, her little brother awaited her with admiration. Here, her parents must be in the house with hot chocolate. Here, she was loved.
Three large spheres for the body, a carrot for the nose, some rocks for the eyes and mouth… The siblings gave their own accessories as the finishing touch: a flowing scarf around its neck and a beanie with a fluffy pom-pom on the head.
Overhead, precious beams of light poked through the clouds.

Stolen by the System
Lost. Vulnerable. Alone. What would you sacrifice to get home? Kidnapped on the cusp of graduation, Jake is dumped into a deadly world of levels and magic. His dreams shattered again, he’s left with a choice: fight or die – and Death won’t let him go that easily. A savage wolf, a horrific secret, and an abhorrent quest make day one the second worst day of his life. Whatever bastard is pulling the strings is due one hell of a reckoning. On the plus side, there’s magic, and Jake’s got the stats to master it. Spells not included, but, hey, creating spells and programming are basically the same thing, right? At least Spellcrafting is slightly less suicidal than trying to stop the encroaching dungeon spawn threat. Because why wouldn’t there be an apocalypse in progress. All the more reason to find his way back fast. Unfortunately, the path home leads right into the heart of danger. Fighting monsters, dungeon delving, solving puzzles – whatever it takes, Jake is finding his way home. He’ll need allies. Powerful allies, like a trainee ranger who struggles to find her hairbrush. Pointy ears, executive dysfunction, and a perilously gutsy moral compass – what more could one want in a Companion? Alas, beggars can’t be choosers. He needs every edge he can get. Going home means finishing his quest. That quest. The quest that doesn’t deserve completion. Save your father, save the world. Update Schedule: Monday/Wednesday/Friday. Temporarily ad hoc.
