Canine Planning (Otherwise Untitled)
~ The coyote settled down into the bench, holding his bag firmly to his side. He glanced around the park furtively, lingering for the anxious moments of waiting to be recognized. When neither alarm or violence arrived, the canine slipped a notebook and...
Patient Soup (Otherwise Untitled)
~ The kobold settled into her seat at the dining table, a pot of soup steaming at the center of it. She regarded the table's contents; beyond the pot and ladel were merely her bowl and spoon. ~ The wider house creaked softly, as wind and night fell...
A Paying Gig (Otherwise Untitled)
~ The wolf gazed down at the table laid out between himself and the fennec. A bowl of what looked to be baked potatoes to one side, a jar of apple butter to spread on them in the other. Several shakers of seasoning, flavors he'd want to try even...
Antlers Collide (Otherwise Untitled)

Now Dispensing Hunger (Otherwise Untitled)
~ Having watched his only coins vanish into the void of the vending machine's endless yawn, the kobold glared with the vigor of hunger and desperation at the bag of chipto-discs. They dangled precariously from the hook, declining to fall.
Subway Inquiry (Otherwise Untitled)
~ The kobold calmly looked up from the book she was reading to meet the gaze of the excited cockatoo, their crest feathers bobbing along with the rattle and bustle of the subway. The lights flickered somewhat. ~ The tired sigh of repeating an answer...
Diplomacy on the Casino Floor (Otherwise Untitled)
