      Assault

      Assault Cover
      by Tower Curator The field wasn't any different in person. Not that Eva had expected it to be. Her ritual gave her a perfect picture of exactly what Sawyer saw and felt. She had already known how the place would look, feel, and smell. Looking at it with her own eyes didn't matter in the slightest. In fact, she was actually feeling better than any time that she had visited through Sawyer's eyes. The ritual was fading away. In an hour, maybe two, it would have run its course, leaving Eva all by her self. She could…

      Rain on a Parade

      Rain on a Parade Cover
      by Tower Curator "Well that... that... that just rains on my parade!" Clement pulled the binoculars away from his face to glance towards his partner. Gertrude was leaning half over the edge of the roof with the visor from his armor pressed against her eyes. Her mouth was twisted into a pout. With a gentle hand, Clement pulled her back. She wouldn't die from the fall. They were on top of some sort of dancing club for the students to waste time in, it was only a few stories high. The idea that she would even be injured…

      Broad Daylight

      Broad Daylight Cover
      by Tower Curator "How is she?" Nurse Post blinked as she looked up from a clipboard in her hands. A number of graphs and charts covered the topmost paper. Even if Eva had been standing at a proper angle to clearly see the papers, she doubted that she would understand most of it. A squiggly line here. A flat one there. Tons of words that were shorthand for something. One really had to be in the medical profession to understand any of it. Which was why she had asked. Rubbing her temple, Nurse Post shook her head…

      Convincing

      Convincing Cover
      by Tower Curator "Are you insane?" "That seems pretty ambitious." Everyone in the clearing jumped to high alert. Everyone except for Eva. She had seen their followers through her sense of blood. Letting them know what she was up to was something of a risk, but she needed humans for the ritual. People would be finding out sooner or later. Might as well start with those she knew best. Putting a hand on Arachne's shoulder to calm her down---she was the only one Eva was really worried about starting anything as neither…

      Maternal Matters

      Maternal Matters Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva froze, staring at the creature. It scampered off to hide the moment she snapped her head over, but she continued staring. The thing had spoken. Words---her name---had come out of its mouth. "I thought you couldn't get it to talk," Eva said without taking her eyes off the thing. "It didn't do anything but growl and slobber when I tried speaking with it." Catherine leaned forward, nearly touching the bars of the cell with her face. "That was my name, right?" "I doubt it actually knows the…

      Finishing Touches

      Finishing Touches Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva paced back and forth, trudging through a section of cold damp ground with every step. After ensuring that hunters weren't going to jump out of the woodwork and attack her or the ritual circle, she had set to clearing away the dome of snow. The snow was all gone. She had even cleared it enough to allow a decent path outside the ward. Yet the melted snow had to go somewhere. With the winter-chilled ground hard and cold, it turned the dirt to a freezing mud all too quickly. In fact, the mud was getting…

      Reset

      Reset Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva, hands clasped behind her back, patrolled along the edge of the ritual circle. More specifically, she paced back and forth in front of the demon hunter and the nun. While the nun had her back pressed against the tree, staring up at the eye through the portals with a slack jaw, the hunter was face-down in the dirt with her mouth slightly to one side. Just enough to endlessly spew nonsensical threats at everyone who walked by. Thankfully, Zoe had stopped by and stilled the air around her head, keeping…

      Corruption

      Corruption Cover
      by Tower Curator The light of the ritual circle blazed to life as Eva pressed a slight bit of magic into the center of the circle. Around her, back in their spots, everyone knelt with far more nervous faces than they had when they first started out today---if that was possible. They weren't kneeling because they were forced to. At least not yet. Despite the glowing violet light of the ritual circle having reached the outer edge, both avatars were still entirely inert. Apparently, when Arachne had first started changing,…

      Press Conference

      Press Conference Cover
      by Tower Curator After ensuring that she was indeed alone within her domain---she hadn't found any enigmas, humans, or demons wandering around, nor had she sensed the presence of any---Eva returned to the common room to further inspect the column sticking through the roof. As it turns out, it wasn't a column. All four sides angled inwards ever so slightly up until high above the roof where the angle bent sharply towards a central point. She had searched every inch that she could see and found nothing. No markings or…

      Devon Foster and Arachne

      Devon Foster and Arachne Cover
      by Tower Curator "Eva?" Devon Foster blinked in the dim light. "You almost lost your head, girl." "Yeah. Nice to see you too, master," Eva said as she gently pushed the blade away from her throat. "Expecting trouble?" "Not exactly," he said, replacing the dagger. "We were just about to leave. You surprised me is all." "We?" Eva peeked further into the building. Spinning in a swivel chair was a woman with six too many eyes and glossy black chitin in place of skin. "Ah. Hello Arachne." The spinning woman slammed…
