Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com.
Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.
I woke up relaxed. I opened an eye drowsily, looking around, expecting to need to go do something important. I'd been reexperiencing my life for the past two weeks, and while I'd had time off, I hadn't been completely free of responsibility in a while.
Granted, we were leaving today, but it...
The next two weeks were…intense. Even though it was only one hour a day, exploring my past this way was incredibly difficult. It took a mental toll that just hadn’t been apparent to me that first day. I tried to space it out, took breaks every few days, but just the daily hour was already almost...
The next stop was quieter. No battle, no captivity, just me in a room with two people I was very familiar with. My old friend Cark, who I had met all the way back on Callus, and his sister Cassidy, who I'd helped rescue from a cultist.
In fact, as I looked at Cass's young face, her eyes shining...
“So, we’re doing this an hour at a time, right?” Callie asked worriedly as we stood at the dock where the Strang Aeons Ship was moored. “Because I’m feeling a lot less sanguine about this now that I’ve seen that ‘ship’ in person.” She made air quotes with her fingers at the word ship, and I had...
I woke up weirdly energized. My brain had been running nonstop since Callie told me the news, and I couldn’t help but feel…hopeful. Yes, the universe sucked and terrible things happened all the time, but we were getting stronger every day, and we had so many powerful relatives to provide a safe...
Nah, I watched an anime with a super cute kid doing cute kid things and it inspired me to write babies lmao. I could see how you'd get there though lol.
The bickering went on for longer than expected. I think everyone was just excited to have something positive to focus on after the fear and danger. Granted, most of them hadn’t been in quite as MUCH danger, but still, it was obviously a stressful night for everyone.
One person more than anyone...
“That was the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen,” Professor Hawkins informed me cheerfully. “Truly, categorically, cosmically stupid to an extent never before witnessed by either man or beast. You should teach a class.”
I shrugged. “I’m only tangentially aware of what the hell just happened, to be...
The fight was absolute chaos. I was Kronos, at the moment. The glimpse into the temporal mechanics was giving me the time and predictive abilities to operate on the needed level. With my newly enhanced body, keeping it at A-rank wasn’t even hard, and I was suddenly able to process what I was...
Elonwy and the Professor spread out, obviously planning to engage with a few of the cultists. To my surprise, the two of them picked off three each, all at the same rank, and drew them off to open up the space for us. We were still outnumbered, but I was afraid of anything but numbers. I...
We emerged from the tear in space into a warzone. Dean Gibbons had decided we were going to miss our window if we pushed it too far and we headed for the canyon. But when we got there, we found…carnage. Bodies, flames, frozen time, curses everywhere. It was a mess.
Dean Gibbons knelt to check...
“So, where are we going next?” Elonwy said as we piled into her car. Surprisingly (or not considering what it was), the seat seemed to expand as more of us climbed in, allowing for more passengers to sit comfortably. “Are we going to pick up Dean Desmond?”
Dean Gibbons shook his head, though he...
I emerged from the platform at a dead sprint. I didn’t have time for things like subtlety or tact, I didn’t have time for politeness or excuse me’s. I needed to find someone. Anyone. I headed for the Professor’s house because he was the closest to the platform, and the Dean was probably being...
“So, this was the first place on the map,” I said as we sat at a shaded table across from our target location. “I have Dan going at A-rank, and he’s analyzing the locale. He should be able to dig into the temporal resonance of the place and get us some clues. If not, we move onto the next place...
Waking up the next morning, I felt rested and ready to go. After stocking up on scrolls, I popped to my feet, moving through some stretches to wring out any soreness. Despite the boosts from the staff and my demons, fighting so many A-rankers yesterday had taxed my body. Apparently there were...
