a pinned post I must write
when I should be in bed at night
an introduction long overdue
forgotten somewhere in my queue

Summer vacation is over, and it’s time for Ichika Orimura to return to IS Academy for the new semester—with a fresh round of harem bliss (or madness). However, the arrival of a new teacher is about to wake him up from his dream, to face the harsh reality. What is the terrible truth behind the IS?
Starlight has descended upon the snow-covered Eorzea, and it’s the time of the year once more to to bring joy to all—including the less fortunate children waiting for a certain surprise…

I do not wish to write with people who actively use Generative AI.
If you write with me, you won't ever have to fear any AI being used to doing my replies for you. I will not feed your writing to ChatGPT and the like, and I would appreciate it if you don't feed my writing to any kind of Generative AI either. You do not have my consent to do so.
If I reblog AI images/text or use images for aesthetics/graphics that were originally generated without realizing, please let me know. Generative AI images have infiltrated Pinterest and other sites so much, it can be hard to tell sometimes.

A/N: This was originally written as a reply to an ask question I received on Tumblr some years back. Since then, the lore I was building for my Viera twins had undergone several changes, which have greatly deviated from what you’ll see in this story. However, I felt that it’d a waste to delete this snippet, so I decided to archive it under this standalone collection. At least I can still come back and see how much the lore has changed over time.
Far away from the mining pits in Kholusia,
there’s an abandoned factory among the rocky ruins.
With the seal to its entrance now broken,
machine lifeforms wake up from their slumber…
