Title: Further Conversations With Drannor

Summary: What it says. Less "story," and more "I wrote about Nexus and Drannor talking until I didn't want to write about Nexus and Drannor talking anymore."

Talking and hitting, two of Nexus' favorite things. )

There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive. )

Current Mood: nostalgic

Title: At the Beginning
Characters: everyone I could fit!
Warmakers Adventure: 1-26
Word Count: ~1700 (plus lyrics)
Summary: This is a "script" for the AMV I wish I could make, if Warmakers were an actual anime, as a retrospective of the campaign. The song is "At the Beginning" by Donna Lewis and Richard Marx, which I already used in a previous fic. Apparently I just can't get enough of this song.
Notes: I recommend listening to the song while reading the fic, to get an idea of how the "music video" would work.

Lights, camera, and ... )

Current Mood: accomplished

Title: Into the Clear
Characters: Sae, Reika, Gunnar, Khag
Warmakers Adventure: 24
Word Count: ~4100
Summary: The Great Hunt and its aftermath, through Sae's eyes.
Notes: The title of the fic is from "Steer" by Missy Higgins, which I think of as Sae's image song for the last part of the Warmakers campaign. This fic represents the last big chunk of the character development that I wanted to happen for Sae. We'll see what comes out of the last two adventures, of course, but this is the last piece of her narrative that I have planned.

'But the search ends here/Where the night is totally clear/And your heart is fierce/So now you finally know that you control where you go' )

May. 11th, 2008 @ 01:38 am [Warmakers] Journeys
Current Mood: tired

Title: Journeys
Characters: Sae, mentions of Gunnar, Nariko, Khag
Warmakers Adventure: 23
Word Count: ~1300
Summary: The Guardians travel towards M-tor, and Sae moves closer to who she wants to be.
Notes: This fic is intended to (among other things) contextualize two changes to Sae's character build. With the retcon, she gained one level of the Dreadnought class, granting her the Fearless ability. Also, at level 21 she will be taking the Leadership feat.

Sae's strengths and desires reside in her body. Perhaps so does her purpose. )

Current Mood: geeky
Current Music: "Infection," Onitsuka Chihiro

Title: In the Blood
Characters: Sae, with mentions of Reika, Ichiro, and Gunnar
Warmakers Adventure: 21
Word Count: ~1600
Summary: The night of the Higa clan's attack on the Guardians, Sae feels some disturbing changes.
Notes: Following this adventure, Sae gained the first level in the Bloodclaw Master class, a class which grants an animalistic shifting ability. In other words, Sae now becomes a crazy catgirl once a day. She didn't have this ability during the time of this fic, but for flavor purposes I am assuming that there are hints of the ability prior to its manifestation.

Sae is really good at killing things. )
