đ 4. Something they love but everyone hates.
Ana taps her chin. âSomething I loveâŠbut everyone hates?â She shifts on the couch. âWell, I donât think anyone hates swimming really, and reading is generally fun, right? UmmâŠcooking and baking are fun? I loveâŠhmmmâŠ
âWell, I suppose the one thing I get scolded on the most is the lack of clothing? I like going skyclad mostly (thatâs what Lyta calls it), because itâs just easier to swim that way. Clothes get too heavy, and it takes too long to get undressed and then redressed and justâŠyeahâŠbut that would what gets me scolded the most, so I guess that means people hate it? But not everyone does so maybe that doesnât answer the questionâŠhmmâŠhells with it. Naked. Final answer.â She nods, ending the discussion.

Hey y'all.
I really need to make some living money. I'm offering $20 sketches like below.
I'm low on funds and I just need some help with retweets is all. đ
SFW and NSFW are available.
âI want you to know that it is not always easy to love me. That sometimes my chest is a field full of landmines, and where you went last night, you canât go tomorrow. There is no manual, there is no road map, no help line you can call; my body does not come with instructions, and sometimes even I donât know what to do with it. This cannot be easy. But still, you touch me anyway.â

Thanks for the poke, @little-purple-thundercloud! :)
Itâs been a while since the events that made me want to pick up paper and quill and start this diary. The scar is still there still seared to my side scales and all like i was born with it. it burns, sometimes. I react to events unfolding around me and it stings like it knows what is happening or --- more frieghtening, it remembers ---- events the blind elezen was exposed to
the dreams are less frequent now, thank the gods. the dark tree in the aether sea --- should I tell Lyta or Kerin??? other dreams come now, Nice dreams. Memories, they seem like, of another persons life. I dream about things about teri that i canât remember ever knowing or doing -- surely theyre dreams yeah? of course they are
I want to tell Lyta I want to take the pledge and earn my mage name. Something with the water, of course. Aqua sounds nice...
Sasai Sai, a cousin of the twins, brought Kirikun home, at least to The Tower. He was alive, but still asleep - hadnât woken for the weeks he was in reunion Sai was told. There was nothing very wrong with him, that they could tell or she could tell but there he was. just dropped in the bed and not moving, wrapped up in bandages.
I thank the gods my brother is back and alive...now if heâd only waken
sorry theres not a single person on this website id pay to follow idc if weâve been mutuals for six years, if you put up a paywall weâre done

Anafenza pushes a few stray hairs behind her horn. âMy family? Itâs not exactly âtypical,â if youâre expecting that...But just boil it down to a single person? Hmm...
âI mean, you know Sasari and Sasani. Theyâre practically family, since their family took me and Aroo - thatâs Aruktai - in when we fled the Steppe. And you know Kiratai I imagine. Big, blue Xaela; he was usually running around keeping Sasari from starving most days. Nowadays he just moves around in his chair, on account of him being hurt when the twins were kidnapped and thought dead. I think the injury destroyed his pride worse than his legs - it hurts to see him so much more quiet and reserved. Still, heâs a joy to be with, and he still cares a lot for me. He still treats me like his sister, no matter how much I tease him and annoy him. I canât climb up on his shoulders like I used to - and heâs probably grateful for that, too - but heâs the one family member that I never want to see go. Heâs the best big brother I could have asked for, but even then...thereâs much more to him. My Kiri-kun.â She smiles and shrugs a little.Â
Thanks @lalaliya!
Anafenza was still gawking in awed silence when the three women stepped off the lift and onto the main control room of the ship â the âbridge,â the Commander had called it â as the other officers sat at their positions, preparing the shipâs systems to send them home.
Ana had since changed into a similar jumpsuit as the Commander, though it was completely black with no special color. Â Sheâd tried to ask for pink, but that wasnât an actual color for a uniform. Â Still, she had the top off, the arms tied around her waist, and was sporting a pink âsports braâ the Commander had decided to compromise on and allow her to wear. Â The badge with her linkpearl pressed to the center was pinned on one of the sleeves around her waist.
She moved along one side of the bridge, stopping behind a Miqoâte man seated there.  âThis is Lt. MâRal, my operations officer.  Heâs tying our chronometric sensors to the transporter in hopes that we can send you to your appropriate time periods using the residual aetherâŠâ
âHeâs a Miqoâte!â Anafenza exclaimed in surprise, smiling wide.
The three others looked at her in surprise.  MâRal looked slightly confused, then shook his head.  âEr, no.  Iâm a CaitianâŠIâm not sure what a Miqoâte isâŠâ
Anafenza bit her lip and shook her head.  âSorryâŠitâs a race on my world.  You lookâŠvery similarâŠâ
The man nodded.  âThat is alright; Iâm not offended.â  He pointed on the screen.  âRight now, there is a large flow of this âaetherâ that we are still able to detect.  It is branching from a central location along three distinct paths.  Weâre working out how to use those paths to transport you to those physical locationsâŠâ
A woman in a blue-shouldered uniform stepped forward. Â She had a pattern of spots that went from her temples down her neck. Â âAnd weâre using this shipâs chronometric navigational scanners to help transport you to your proper times.â
The Commander nodded. âLadies, this is Nizeri Sano, my science officer.  AndâŠyeah, thatâs the plan weâre developing.  Itâs nothing weâve ever tried or even considered trying beforeâŠâ
âAnd if it fails?â Stormy asked.
Sano shook her head.  âWe would maintain our lock and pull you back to Rafale.  Youâd be stranded here most likelyâŠâ  She tapped the panel on the wall, bringing up a new display for the women to look at. It showed the aether trails, ending at three distinct dots.  âRight now our present location, Earth, and your world are equidistant from one anotherâŠboth in space and in time.  This is a phenomenon that justâŠshould not be possible.  That all three of you would also be existing and have these connections, and wander to these specific locations at the same time isâŠa once in a lifetime experience.  ButâŠâ She tapped the display, and it began to move, showing a passage of time.  âWe are drifting out of this sync phase.  The longer we go without executing this plan, the greater the risk of you not making it home.  If we donât do this by tomorrow nightâŠâ
âThen weâre stranded in your universe,â Stormy finished. Â Her face fell, her excitement now crashing with a reality of not getting home. Anafenza felt a similar pain in her chest at the thought of not making it home.
The Commander must have noticed this. Â She smiled a little, then patted them both on the back. Â âWell, if we only have till tomorrow night, letâs go celebrate. Â Câmon; weâll go to Hurricane Halâs.â

And now I can hardly remember the rest of the dream, dammit all. Â Bright sunlight steaming down through breaks in the trees. Â And that damnable tree was there too, darkness pouring from it as usual.
There were giggles and high-pitches laughter. Â Those two words repeated again and again.
Itâs fading faster this time. Â Perhaps this really was just a dream. Â The other two women, the blue-skins, were there as well. Â And a voice, begging... open the gate?
I canât remember any more. Aenc tyr
I need to borrow a few of the books from the library, I thinkâŠ
