Major updates are done! We've squashed the nastier bugs, but there are probably a few smaller ones still scurrying about. Send us a DM on Twitter (@lowerworldtsw) or to @Custodian/@Voltigeur on this site if you catch one!
We'll be tweaking the site's appearance and updating guides as the month goes on. :)
2017.06.18 – กุมารทอง (Not for sale)
While your character is browsing through a civilian antiques store/garage sale/etc., they spot a powerful (and potentially dangerous) artifact. Unfortunately, it's not for sale...
He was doing his round of antique stores; every month, a few very sensitive...
2017.06.10 - 霊界 Reikai (Flower amid ashes)
The secret worl is often one of unimaginable horror, but it can also be one of great beauty. What is the most beautiful thing that your character has encountered so far?
The night was filled with the song of the summer crickets as the rays of the...
2017.06.03 - Selective execution (Busted!)
Uh oh! A civilian walks in on your character conducting some secret world-y business. What happens next?
The moon was slowly rising over Yan'an, a prefecture-level city of the Shaanxi province which had been in the heart of many human conflicts, once...
2017.06.02 - Times long gone (Buried treasure)
While tidying up their apartment/office/wagon/etc, your character finds something that they haven't seen in years...
This old house that had seen him grow, at least until his father's death, had changed considerably over the years. It had...
2016.10.30 - The unwritten
I realized I never posted this here. It's linked to one entry in Kuro's journal 'Hansei' and is, as the name implies, the unwritten part of what happened after 'The Link' community event GMed by Nvida Noire. Tagged as NSFW because of blood and self-imposed punishment...
2017.05.04 - Nanda yo?! * (Return to sender) NSFW-ish
Your character receives an unmarked package which they feel oddly compelled to open...
His morning class had gone rather well, this group being far more experienced than what he'd had to work with lately. Since that gave him half of the day...
Note: So this is a strange story, in the sense that it literally unfolded in my mind as I was drifting between sleep and wakefulness. So some aspects may feel weird, some notions a bit farfetched (though nothing lore breaking). At this point, it didn’t really happened in Kuro’s life either - at...
2017.03.18 - Ripples (Making history)
Your character somehow ended up making it into the history books! The question is... what for?
Something that might be found in the books that new recruits might be forced to read some time in the future.
The hospital was quiet at this time of night...
*Before people go all crazy on this, yes, I took some liberty regarding lore. It's strictly headcanon, as we don't actually know where the Dragon was prior WW2. As the Dragon dies and get reborn - and change location everytime it does - I depicted the Head of the Dragon as an old man, since Kuro...
2017.03.08 - Arigato gozaimashita (Season Recap)
1. Has your character kept any of their New Year's resolutions? If so (or if not!), how has it affected them?
2. Were there any major turning points in your character's life this year? How have they dealt with it?
3. What does your character...
2017.03.06 - Don't let me walk alone (Giving thanks)
Whom is your character most thankful for at this point in their life?
The expensive bottle of sake was sitting on the corner of the kitchen table while Kuro was busy wrapping the sushi he'd just prepared. Closing the two bento boxes, he...
A dept to be repaid
August 24th 2015
He was merely lying on his back in a patch of grass, looking up at the sky or what little he could see, between the tall buildings of Kaidan and the strange fog, wrapping the city in a blanket of mystery and death. His breathing was laborious and painful...
2016.10.16 - Home is... (Warm Fuzzies)
Write about a memory that makes your character smile/laugh whenever they think about it.
Theodore Lareaux stepped up to the door of one of those traditional house in the Bukchon Hanok Village in the heart of Seoul, balancing two large duffel bags over...
Hard Choices
Write about a time that your character had to make a hard choice — maybe even one that they regret making to this day.
This is something I wrote a year ago but it can't be more relevent. Kuro had to chose between two person... and he made the wrong choice initially. Good thing...
2016.09.19 - First Blood
In Japanese standards, he was barely out of boyhood. His uncle had sent him away to join the Dragon; he'd be under their care now, his uncle's task as mentor and teacher was done. One year of training, secluded in a secret location somewhere in China, and the new...
Fireflies. They're something magical, mysterious and beautiful. Like some childhood memories, running along in this forest - an old forest, full of power and whispering kami - chasing after the tiny dancing lights. A little boy was dancing alongside them, trying to catch a few with his tiny...
2016.09.05
There is something very intimate when writing to someone else - and I'm not talking about those business memo typed on the computer. A pen or a brush, a sheet of paper, and you open ever so slightly a door to your soul. The same happens when writing to yourself. Only there is no fear...
