Yeah, I do think this should come first, and then the scene with Lorella and Tavik, and then Valentine and Hadyn. And then the last bit, which should be complete fairly soon! This is kind of long, relative to other sections, but once again I was working from a log (ugh). If I'm lucky, this one will flow a bit better :)

( Shadows 5.1 )

Posted late because I have been studying like a madwoman for an exam that may not even be until next week now :V I actually had it finished on Saturday, bah! Also, this section may get reordered in the final version of this chapter - I haven't decided yet.

( Shadows 5.1 )

I finished it yesterday and typed it today. Sonce I need collaboration for the next bit, I've actually been working on bits for an *original* story today, though I haven't made great progress. I'll keep going with that tomorrow, I expect, and maybe the rest of the week. And if I get stuck I'll work on typing up and polishing another original I finished a while ago (like last year or so ;). Please feel free to correct my French. I mean Elven ;)

Also also this series could use its own icon, I reckon. That or I need a generic 'gaming story' icon. Anyone?

This chapter contains scenes of pretty graphic violence, so if you are disturbed by that sort of thing, you may want to pass.

( Shadows 4.1 )

I even met my personal schedule, though I have realized that I need o fix something in 3.2 to have my timeline work. eh- whatever. It is close enough :)

( Shadows 3.3 )

I finished the last section of this chapter, yay! That leaves two chapters, at least, that I want to finish before we actually play again next Sunday, and Three if I'm really lucky. One is already started, at least. Anyone who wants to read this chapter all the way through can find it on its home at the Exia wiki, over here.

Just a short vignette, probably one of a few I feel like writing out today...
------------------------

“Jennifer Madeline Turner.

I love you, I love you, I love you.”

He liked to watch her sleep, in these rare moments when she seemed at peace. No nightmares, no night terrors, no anxious frowns. Just real rest. Her hair spilled out across the sheets like a wound. People said all sorts of things about redheads – kissed by fired, touched by the sun. Luck of the Irish. Other nonsense. But fire and the sun only burned those who got too close. And Irish luck all seemed to sour.

“Jennifer Madeline Turner.

I love you, I love you, I love you.”

No one understood how he felt about her, leastwise Alex himself. He couldn’t explain. He’d known her since high school, and even through the roughest patches those days had offered them both, he’d wanted nothing more than to be by her side. To watch over her and be close and wanted. She’d been gone from his life for years after the fire that changed everything. He thought he’d been doing well for himself until she showed up again, and he felt the great gaping hole that was her absence.

“Jennifer Madeline Turner.

I love you, I love you, I love you.”

The repetition comforted him, though he couldn’t say why. It just seemed right. Felt complete. He knew she didn’t feel the same. Yes, she cared for him, maybe even loved him in her own broken, twisted, way. But this was more than he could express. And maybe more than love, or not just, or…. He didn’t know. But she could, had, and would hurt him, time and time again. Every time it was a fresh wound, that stung and bled and scarred. Sometimes she didn’t even know or mean it. But as much pain as she caused him, she was part of him. He couldn’t give her up if it meant his life.

“Jennifer Madeline Turner.

I need you, I need you, I need you.”I need you, I need you, I need you.”

The next segment in the Hadyn story stuff. I switched t using tildas for the telepathy because the wiki code uses commas for something else and it is just easier to fix at the typing stage. Enjoy!

( Shadows 2.2 )

I have decided on a name for my Hadyn story: Shadows. it is really not just about Hadyn anymore anyway, though he will still be one of, if not the, key player(s). I ahve also decided that in order to help the flow of things when i do big time jumps, I will collect the smaller sections into larger chapters. So, here is all of chapter 1 - the only new bit is right at the end. Coming up shortly will be 2.1. Enjoy :)

( Shadows 1 )

I've been working on this for a while now. I know what I am doing next but I don't have any more written yet, which is a first. Usually I am a chapter ahead in my paper journal, but not this time. Anyway... I stil need a name for this ;)

( Part Three )

This is the beginnig of an ongoing story I'm doing about Hadyn. This is the first section, and I have another bit started as well. I don't have a good name for this yet... In fact the main reason I have typed it up and am posting it here is that I am not at home and have no way of saving a portable electronic copy. Im sure this is riddled with horrible terrible typos - it was typed in notepad, as I haven't yet actually proof-read it ;) This will probably not be much interest to anyone who is not familiar with Exia, as there is a lot of backstory, but for anyone who is curious and clueless, I'd like to know your impressions. Otherwise, there is also information on some of the characters at least over at the game wiki.

In anycase, ( On with the show! )
