The chapter 5 weird route reminded me a lot of one of my ocs

August 2014 Prompt Call #3 - "Murder at the Theatre?"

Oh, I had fun with this one. Bringing back my more journalistic side from university, this is for Rix-Scaedu's prompt of "A review of a performance of the great play (insert name or proper noun here)’s Revenge where something untoward happened and there was an actual death in the performance." It's not quite a review, but likely from someone who would have been reviewing it. I hope it fits the bill, though I may be willing to write more...? Set in the Rather Large Puddle universe. 197 words.

More on this story as it is available.

Title TBA (Jade and Luke) Pg1 by TalaSeba

wOOOAHH. First page of what I hope will be an awesome original comic series!!! Based off of a table top rpg that my friends and I played some time back, this series will be based on the events post game, while finding out the strange and traumatic events that happened in the past (the events that happened in the game). I plan to actually take my time and work on this to make it as awesome as it can be. I have a writer and and editor who is helping me on this so hopefully it will be even book worthy one day! So anyways, enjoy this first page of this epic adventure and I hope you enjoy the ride! Let's start out this comic with action and feels~

April Call #2 - Arrivals Gate (COMPLETED)

For Rix's prompt of "Arrivals". 270 words. Written in the world of A Rather Large Puddle, with all attempts at spoiling the (rather obvious) ending avoided. VPC: Jade Rivers.

She wasn't quite sure why she was nervous. It's not like she was having her parents fly in to meet her boyfriend's family or anything.

...Well, then again...

Instead of her coming home this summer, her parents had agreed to fly out to London for two weeks instead, so that they could see the city, and meet her new friends, and save her the money of flying home. She was excited – CJ had agreed to come out too, and it would be nice to have her brother around – but at the same time, she was nervous.

Her parents had never met her boyfriend. Even when he'd been in the States, it had been...well, a bit of a dance for the two of them to be around each other. And that was a story in and of itself. He hadn't been her boyfriend at the time – because that would have been a whole kettle of haddock that they hadn't touched – but now he was and now she was nervous.

So she stood, in the airport, waiting. Alone.

She hadn't wanted to be alone, but the boy had insisted that it was better if he didn't meet them at the airport. They'll be tired from the flight, he'd said. That's no time to be meeting your daughter's new beau. Let them rest, sleep off the jet lag at the hotel, and then they can meet me properly.

She'd wanted to argue. He'd had a point. She had no leg to stand on.

Now it was only a matter of moments.

Thanks to Rix's donation, here's the conclusion to the story!

(Mild spoilers for the end of the book – though that's not a hard ending to see coming)

Jade held her breath, standing up and waiting for the plane to disembark. It had been a long time since she'd seen her parents, and even longer since she'd seen CJ – though they talked on Skype often enough.

What felt like years later, people started emerging from the walkway – among them, a familiar group of faces. Jade beamed as CJ came darting toward her to give her a tight hug. “Look at you, precious little ex-pat you,” he laughed into her hair.

She giggled. “I'm not sure that works this way around, CJ. Aren't ex-pats the Brits that move to America?”

“It works because I say it works and you have a British accent now.” CJ grinned, and Jade rolled her eyes, turning to hug her mother and father as they walked up.

“Hey Mom, Dad. How was the flight?”

“Uneventful,” her father commented, kissing her hair. “It's good to see you, Jade sweetheart.” It'd been a few months since the car crash that scrambled her father's brain back in order – oddly enough – and it was good to see him out and about, and remembering people's names properly. It had taken some getting used to that her father actually did know her name.

Then again, it had taken some getting used to that CJ and her father were on sort-of speaking terms again. That had been an ancient battle hatchet partially buried, and Jade for one was happy to see it gone.

“No big plans for tonight, I hope?” her mother added, and Jade had to laugh.

“No, Mom. Allen didn't even come to the airport with me, so that we didn't overwhelm you.” She was grinning – it was so wonderful to be able to talk about Allen without feeling like she was a criminal. “I'll make sure you get to your hotel, and then you can meet Allen and the rest of the Taylors over the course of your stay.”

“Sounds good to me.” Her mother kissed her hair as well and gave her another hug. “You seem so much happier now.”

“Best I've ever felt.” Her voice was softer than she'd expected, and CJ gave her a one-armed hug. “This is the best choice I've ever made.”

“And we're all looking forward to meeting him, now that he's properly your boy,” her brother added, ruffling her hair. “You got a chance to start over. That does a person good.”

“Yeah... Yeah, it does.”
