The Junk Mage

Techno-kinetic mental debris-mancer. Hedge mage for the modernest of times. Or, just a tosser. The “junk mage” is a low-level mage/psychic with odd abilities that can range from flickering lights or turning faucets on and off, to short-circuiting electrical grids or causing combustion engines to seize. And, being done largely on a subconscious level, it has been observed that subjects who are in REM sleep or vividly dreaming will manipulate their surroundings in various ways. Whether the actions are meaningful or not is uncertain; a sort of “tea leaf” reading, but with trash. Not all actions are uncontrollable, and with the proper guidance they could blossom into a formidable being (desires withstanding). Their willingness provides many hooks into trades and professions. With little more focus than a typist, the mage can transfer thoughts directly to interfaces such as electronic keypads or fobs, keyboards, and even mechanical locks given a bit more time and energy. Consequently

The Akiba Latex Maid Bar

Sweat and mist mingle on your skin like a dirty rag. The air is thick with city life, wickedly holding oxygen from your lungs. You turn down an unmarked alley barren of windows and doors and barely wide enough to pass through. Your shoulders scrape against the course brick and tile as you turn a corner, and then another, leaving all light and life behind you like a movie in a far off room. You slip through the cracks between buildings to come to a familiar stairwell. Coarse rumblings growl through the earth and pavement as you approach the distant red glow rising up from the tunnel. The air thins slightly as you descend, subtly cooler, and w

Prelude to a Kiss

You notice first her nape, flickering tones of gold by the many candles studded throughout the ill lit room. Intricate patterns of dark lace lay as if ink across her skin, hovering for a moment above her collar bone before plunging again into shadow. Your eyes climb rungs of bladed hair to play with myriad colors soaked within its delicate strands as they fan like an autumn forest over the ridges and valley of her delicate ear. The teeth of beasts pierce her lobes in two locations, the largest of the pair polished well enough to hold the world in a sliver of its contour. The crescent of illumination across her face widens with a turn of her h

The Akiba Latex Maid Bar - 1.0

You turn down an unmarked alley barren of windows and doors. Sweat and mist mingle on your skin like moist cloth. The air you breathe is thick with city life and sticks to your face as if trying to escape as you inhale, then never wanting to leave your lungs. Your shoulders scrape against the coarse brick and tile of the alleyway barely wide enough to walk through. You turn a corner, and then another, leaving all light and life behind you like a movie in a far off room. The way is familiar. You slip through the cracks between buildings before you come to a stairwell indistinguishable if not for a faint red glow from somewhere deep within. Th
