Kaitlyn's heart beat a little faster as she stared at the screen. A windowed version of Ian's game played across it, the polygonal background populated with low-res blobs that moved and attacked. Ian tapped away at the keyboard, sending the main c...
2024-05-24 16:00:08 +0000 UTC View Post///It's been a looooong time. Whoda thought we'd take this long?
So yeah, between Alone, Armageddon, publishing, and personal life, Legion fell behind a little bit. Sorry about that! I should hopefully be able to start posting it more regula...
2024-05-22 02:23:30 +0000 UTC View PostThe sound of Kaitlyn's footsteps echoed through the dorm stairwell as she climbed. Her legs were still sore from the morning's run, sending twinges of pain through her calves and thighs with every step.
It's only one floor. I don't need ...
2024-05-20 16:39:39 +0000 UTC View PostThe lecture hall buzzed with activity and conversation. A steady stream of students poured in through each entrance, branching off into tributaries as they broke off to find seats among the already-crowded aisles. There were still three minutes to...
2024-05-17 16:00:16 +0000 UTC View PostThe drone of conversation and music filled Kaitlyn's ears as she stepped into the crowded atmosphere of Cappy's. Since so many people were still moving in, the cafeteria wasn't nearly as crowded as it could get. Still, at this hour, the m...
2024-05-13 16:00:00 +0000 UTC View PostThe rest of the loop passed by in a blur of reflection, sore muscles, and activity. Now that Kaitlyn had a better lead on what had gone wrong last time, she had to adjust her approach to compensate. It wasn't an easy task, though. Without more inf...
2024-05-10 16:00:12 +0000 UTC View PostKaitlyn came away from the tournament with a skip in her step. For the first time ever, she'd managed the impossible: she'd actually won the whole thing.
I did it! Finally! After all this time, I finally, finally won!
Over the next few weeks, Kaitlyn went through the practically automatic motions of establishing her early-loop routine. Kate's Kitchen, Chella's, and Professor Adams's lab all slotted themselves back into her daily schedule, with music pr...
2024-05-04 16:45:00 +0000 UTC View PostKaitlyn could do little more than stare, completely thunderstruck. The orange-yellow sky still hung in the background, the last traces of blue slowly disappearing as the sun continued its slow descent. A chill breeze blew past, ruffling her hair l...
2024-05-04 16:36:55 +0000 UTC View PostA few rounds of friendlies did help her mental state a bit. For a little while, Kaitlyn managed to lose herself in the combos and graceful movement she'd been honing even further in the past couple of weeks. By this point in the loop, she was well...
2024-04-26 16:00:14 +0000 UTC View PostWith a long sigh, Kaitlyn plopped into one of the audience seats. At this point, they had filled up pretty significantly—a detail she'd been happily oblivious to during the match.
It makes sense. We're finally in grand finals, after al...
2024-04-26 03:55:53 +0000 UTC View PostKaitlyn came out of the gate firing on all cylinders, hoping to catch her opponent off guard. Two Corgos faced each other down—her own in red and Zog's in blue. The pair hopped around the screen like caffeinated Australian shepherds, flinging ou...
2024-04-22 04:30:01 +0000 UTC View Post/// Ok wow. I'm so sorry for the late posts yall -- life's been hectic! I should be getting back on track soon, fingers crossed, but it might be one or two more weeks of spottiness before I do. Here's hoping no more than that. I think I'm starting...
2024-04-22 04:07:53 +0000 UTC View PostThe second game didn't end up quite so well, with their opponents finding a weakness in Kaitlyn's slightly more defensive plays and taking her out early. She didn't lose hope, though. It was too much to expect a quick 2-0 against a team like this....
2024-04-12 16:00:13 +0000 UTC View Post"Last round of friendlies! Bash Bros doubles is starting in five!"
Ian and Kaitlyn were already sitting at a setup when John's call sounded over the speakers. They'd long since finished exploring the rest of the venue and i...
2024-04-10 02:53:21 +0000 UTC View PostThe weeks passed in a comfortable routine of study, work, and tournaments. On top of Ian's own successes with midterms, Esme also had reported some pretty impressive results of her own. As a result, both Kaitlyn and Elliot were rounded up more tha...
2024-04-05 16:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostCappy's Cafeteria buzzed with the steady din of conversation, clattering dishes, and ambient pop music. A sparse crowd filled the area, slowly growing in size as late risers stumbled out of bed in search of food. The sights and sounds ser...
2024-04-02 00:16:10 +0000 UTC View PostKaitlyn learned a few things over the course of their study session. The first was that, as bad as her own Genetics class had been, she certainly didn't have the worst professor available. The second was that she'd internalized the materi...

2024-03-26 02:45:13 +0000 UTC View Post"Kate, you've gotta stop making these things."
Heather lounged on her roundish pink chair with her eyes closed. One hand rested on her stomach contentedly while the other draped over its edge. Kaitlyn stopped what she was doing and ...
2024-03-22 16:00:05 +0000 UTC View Post"It's such a nice day out!"
Esme set her tray on the table before her, a noodle bowl perched atop it. To her left side sat Elliot with his standard plate of comparatively plain buttered noodles, though today he'd evidently gotten a little ad...

2024-03-18 16:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostThe Intro to Programming class was like Chemistry in that it took place in a massive, crowded lecture hall. It was unlike Chemistry, however, in that it actually seemed to care about introducing its students to the subject rather than knocking the...
2024-03-15 16:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostJohn sat at the head of the long wooden table. Along its length sat an assortment of federal officials, cabinet members, and military officers, each and every one tense and unmoving. None of them spoke a word as they watched the screen on the oppo...

2024-03-13 04:32:17 +0000 UTC View PostA shimmering barrier appeared in front of Chad's face, deflecting the flames off to the side. A quick glance over revealed one of the soldiers standing with arms outstretched and sweat beading on his brow.
