Right Church, Back Pew (Otherwise Untitled)
~ The temple lecture was a bit more than halfway complete when a basilisk, dripping wet with kerosene, slipped in the back doors of the long hall and tucked onto one of the rear pews. Everyone in the length of the hall gave some notice to the sound of...
Drenched Gambit (Otherwise Untitled)
~ The bar was a quiet place, early in the afternoon with the rain pouring down outside. Detective Clip glowered across the table to the meerkat who in turn kept up his own grin. ~ "They've got me out here for a safety protocol; here's the seal of...
Sales in the Park (Otherwise Untitled)
~ The wolf's gaze was a sweep across the park, until he spotted his quarry. He slid up onto his feet to stride across the gravel path, ducking under a particularly low hanging branch. ~ Coming upon the skunk he'd seen from across the grass, the wolf...
Mail Drop Temple (Otherwise Untitled)
~ Out in backwater colonies where there weren't niceties like satnav or paved roads, Detective Clip always found a bit of charm to rumbling down a gravel and dirt road on the back of a growling motorcycle. There wasn't too much of a hurry to it, and...

Stakes in Space (Otherwise Untitled)
Trigger warning: Slur that starts with 'f'. ~ Her landing left something of a divot in the field, Alexa Clip having been launched out of the parking lot by the dragon's punch. In the time it took her to scramble upright and not yet find solid footing,...

Iron Jewlery (Otherwise Untitled)
There was a lingering silence as Detective Clip seemed hesitant to reply to the demand, her only clarification thus far a disapproving glare to the checkpoint officer. Before he could repeat his request, the detective spoke. "No." The jackalope's gaze...
Barfight Invite (Otherwise Untitled)
~ The badger stepped away from the bar and out into the more open area of the establishment, a grin forming across her face as she reached up to break the shaft off of the crossbow bolt stuck in her shoulder. "Thank you for your prompt reply.", her...
