      Unruly Guests

      Unruly Guests Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva stopped pacing in front of the makeshift cell for the enigma-like creature. Actually, it wasn't all that makeshift. Maybe a little run-down and worn out, but it was a genuine prison cell. They had enough of them around the prison to spare, so Eva had insisted. Originally, she had wanted the creature to be kept within the solitary confinement building. It was isolated from the rest of the prison and had fairly heavy-duty doors and walls. Devon, in his infinite wisdom, had decided that he could handle…

      Power Overwhelming

      Power Overwhelming Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva snapped her eyes open. She took a deep breath, glancing around as she took in her surroundings. She was on her back, staring up at the starry sky. Arachne, Catherine, and Qrycx the carnivean all stood around her with Arachne being the closest. Hovering over her with occasional glares at the other demons, Arachne had a protective air about her. It couldn't have been too long since the end of the ritual. Pre-ritual, everything had gone roughly the same as last time. Obviously Zagan wasn't around…

      Surgery Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva popped into the gate room of the women's ward. As Arachne hopped off her and grew back to her full height, Eva pulled out her cellphone and sent Zoe a message stating that she had put out the fires and was taking a rest at the prison. Not entirely true, but not a lie either. At least it would keep her from worrying when Eva didn't end up at the apartments. Heading out of the gate room and into her own room, Eva added a fresh bit of blood to her warding scheme. It was somewhat annoying that she…

      Security System

      Security System Cover
      by Tower Curator At least nothing is on fire, Eva thought with a welling of relief deep inside. In fact, better than nothing being on fire, nothing looked damaged at all. Everything in the women's ward was just where she had left it. Outside, well, the prison was a fairly large place. Eva was mostly certain that everything was normal. Her blood wards gave her a view of the place in a manner reminiscent of her using clouds of blood to see and through that, she couldn't see anything amiss. Neither could she sense the…

      Teleport Home

      Teleport Home Cover
      by Tower Curator It took most of the rest of the day for Eva to finally shake herself out of her stupor. After having a few minutes to calm down, Lucy's domain probably hadn't been the worst thing ever. It was close, but not the worst. The tentacles weren't even that bad. Eva could stand tentacles. That monster covered in holes on the other hand... Another shudder wracked Eva's body at the thought. Whatever it was, Eva wouldn't mind never seeing it again. At the moment, Eva was assuming both the tentacles and the…

      Failure

      Failure Cover
      by Tower Curator It had taken about an hour for Catherine and Devon to discuss the changes to the circle. Considering that it had taken almost an entire month for Devon to design the latest version of Eva's treatment circle, that was essentially lightning fast. Either Catherine was really a genius at understanding how rituals worked and how to change them, there hadn't been all that many changes to be made, or Devon just cared so little for Catherine's safety that he wasn't too interested in checking, double checking,…

      Other Treatments Cover
      by Tower Curator A wall of cold water slammed into Eva's face. Her eyes snapped open. The icy liquid ran down her neck and chest, sending all kinds of shivers through her body. Cold did not agree with her. Coughing and sputtering, she tried to reach out with her awareness and get some sense of what was going on. She was in the women's ward on her couch. A somewhat soggy couch that had just had ice water dumped all over it. There would definitely be shouting about that later on. Devon stood over her with a…

      Revised Treatment

      Revised Treatment Cover
      by Tower Curator Juliana Laura Rivas flipped through the news. It had been months and there was still no sign that anything was amiss around Brakket City. The purple streaks in the sky had attracted a good amount of attention for the first month. Brakket was fairly isolated from much of the mundane world, but not so much that the sky would go unnoticed. Even had satellites not been able to pick up the anomaly, people in neighboring cities could look out the window and see the sky. It was simply too huge of an effect…

      Development in Treatment

      Development in Treatment Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva stepped out of the women's ward gate room to find a corpse lying on her couch. Somewhat unusual. Not exactly what Eva had been hoping to find immediately after teleporting home. Especially because she was still feeling somewhat wobbly and wanted the couch to herself. Slumping into one of the chairs, Eva sent a glare in the corpse's direction. The corpse didn't even look up from her book. "Curls today? Your hair was straight at the cathedral." The vampire sat up on the couch, resting the…

      Course of Action

      Course of Action Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva tore open the doors to Ylva's domain and sprinted inside. Ylva was on her throne, her skeletal form looking impassive as always under the light shining from the storm clouds overhead. Her pose was as relaxed as it always was. With her fist curled beneath her chin, she slouched back in her throne. Four others sat around a small table set down at the base of her throne. Alicia and Nel sat at opposite ends of the table from one another with Wayne Lurcher in between the two. Wayne had a scowl on his…
