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.
Thoth stares ahead as gusts of wind whip around his still figure. His cloak flutters in the snow encrusted flurry, sticking to the black material and spotting it like a child's painting of the night sky. But right before it can freeze onto the fabric, it rolls off as small pebbles, plummeting...
Reze grunts as she blocks another blow, the loud crack of wood echoing through the abandoned factory. The force of the strike catches her off guard, pushing her back a step before she shoves her assailant away. He slides backwards across the concrete, bringing his wooden staff up to point right...
Reze can't stop looking at the ring on her finger under the rays of the morning sun. Most girls usually dream of the type of ring that they'll get when they get engaged - the type of cut or style of ring that they saw during a shopping trip and subconsciously spoke to them. At one point, Reze...
Reze's heard of the Rock Devil - one of the newest hybrids that Thoth created after a string of particularly vicious, yet successful, operations across the globe. He was never alone; his personal strike team followed him everywhere he was deployed. Usually, three soldiers would spell disaster...
Reze cocks her head sideways at the framed painting. It's impressive, sure but it's way smaller than she imagined. The sea of tourists elbowing past them and snapping photos on their phones isn't doing much to sell the experience, either.
Luckily - unlike them fighting the hordes of tourists...
Reze, for the longest time, thought the tickets were fake. From everything she learned about Jin, he wasn't the planner of the relationship - more along the ride for whatever she had planned out for that day. It's not like he was going to break that routine either, he never disagreed with what...
Jin looks like a lost puppy again. It's the usual for him - eyes worriedly scanning in front and thinking about every opportunity and consequence with every choice. If he's walking and takes a calculated step here, what happens if someone also steps in my way? Does he move? Do they? And what if...
Jin's shoulder roars in agony as he sits silently on the barstool. Usually the wound pricks at him when he's in some form of training - or when he and Reze are having their own intimate moments. But as his leg anxiously bounces while Joe walks back over to him - a deep scowl etched on the old...
Threadmarks: Chapter 23 - The Girl and The Gremlin
Reze watches Dimitri - or what's left of his barely human side - tower over them in his devil form. This isn't the first time she's seen him transform like this. Whenever their mission was going sideways, Dimitri would call in, never to ask a question.
"Time for the hunt to begin."
It was...
Reze instinctively reaches for her pin. Seeing Dimitri this close is bringing back too many memories of strikes she was forced to do with him. And he was always in charge, so what he said goes.
"Civilian casualties are acceptable."
Dimitri always said that before he sent Reze to go annihilate...
Reze probably won't forgive Jin for a while. What he did was stupid, reckless, and worst of all - completely selfish. Only someone with a death wish would try to take on a whole Hybrid Division strike team alone, especially someone that had none of the proper training or reconnaissance on the...
Jin really thought today would have been different. Having the night he did with Reze led him to believe he was in a better place than he was earlier. But every time he closes his eyes, he sees her - the woman in the business suit with her smile burning into his dreams as she disappears into...
Jin isn't the most creative person. Giving him a coloring book when he was growing up would always have the same outcome - he would stare at it for a while, mind racing on what colors would work with the image. Skies had to be blue - only blue. Trees were only light green and dark brown, and...
Jin peeks out around the corner, surveying the still hallway in front of him. Everything about the seemingly endless void in front of him should make him feel like it's safe, but after everything he's dealt with the last two months, he knows better.
Still, his curiosity always gets the better...
Reze's anxiety spikes as she continues the charade on the dance floor. Jin's no longer visible, her sightline completely blocked by a group of green-band men staring directly at her. Her mind runs in frantic circles, mirroring the growing mosh pit of sweaty bodies around her. She knows he's in...
