"Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, a creature was stirring, wondering who stole the cookies!" Lara yelled from the kitchen. "It's late, and I need to decorate them!" "I already did!" Milly responded from the living room. "Some of my best work!" Lara stomped her way to the living room. "I don't seem to remember you ever…" she trailed off. Milly stood between the tree and the fireplace, naked excep...

Formal events were the worst kind of guard duty for Hannah. Not only did she have to have her uniform crisp and clean, but she also had to stand still and not do anything unless she had to. At least with some sort of patrol, she could walk around and look at things. Instead, she stood at attention, her chest pushed out, and her focus directly forward. The safety and security of the staircase behind her was at stake during...

If the man thought he had secured an easy job informing the ship of beautiful women that a lockdown was in place and they couldn't go anywhere, he regretted it the moment Liddy handed him a bill. It wasn't that the numbers confused him or that they were so high. After all, he wasn't paying it. No, the regret came when he realised he was going to have to go get the money from someone far more concerned with war and his exc...

Cat had found, while in the radio room, that it sat below the observation tower. Emma and Paje had hoped to find a door leading to it from the floor above so they could avoid going through what Cat had just to learn where things were. “I didn't think you had much of a fancy for ladyfolk,” Paje teased as she caught Emma admiring her in the sheer blue silk dress showing off her ink patterns and underwear. “I’m enjoying the...

It was a curious thing to Cat why there were so many generals taking their leisure with them when there was supposed to be a war on, but she wasn't about to complain. Besides, her mouth was full. As she tasted the man sliding through her mouth to get down her throat, she figured ‘general’ was a term all their nobility had or they were being incredibly effective at distracting them. Her dress cushioned her knees as she kne...

The view of the city got more and more amazing as their ship drew closer. They could see levels of cityscape resolve into focus as they watched. The giant train the city moved on looked like it had stopped, and had it not been for the trail of destruction behind it, may have looked like it had been built there. The whole city was made out of metal and industrialization. Smokestacks and cranes littered the sides as well as...

Ving moved her racer away from the airship, watching an annoyed-looking Hannah grow smaller as the distance increased. She knew why and refused to apologize for it. “So, what happened?” Laurel asked as she lashed her rifle to the sling in the door. “I said something I shouldn't have. Apparently,” Ving replied, unwilling to volunteer any more info than that. Ving slid the sights into place in the forward window so she coul...

Hope was running out of the cable car, still in the process of refastening the armour she had loosened to entertain the operator, who as she left mumbled something about it happening again. She made use of her religious status and contacts to get into the city, quickly making her way up the mountain in the hopes of catching up to Hannah. It had bothered her knowing Hannah had gone ahead alone, even if she could take care...

Hannah liked the new dress. It was a bit small on her, young Louise not being as tall or well endowed as Hannah was, but it fit. Her breasts were pressed tightly and it was short enough to show her ankles so she was right on the line of scandalous for court. The soft pink was not the bold colour choice she normally went with but it suited her adopted sister well enough. There was no room to hide a gun, even if she had bee...

Inky came onto the forward deck looking for Ving and found her staring off into the distance. She knew Ving was worried for Hannah. “This is her home turf. She will be fine.” Inky put her hand on Ving's shoulder as she reassured her. Ving was slightly startled at the sound and touch but relaxed quickly. “I know, and I weep for whoever gets in her way.” Ving nodded off into the distance. “A dark storm is coming and they al...

Liddy descended down through the glass tube on the platform surrounded by armed women. Hannah, who had put on her combat uniform and carried her trench gun loaded with ice ammunition, stood beside her. They had all chosen the special ammunition due to the absolute panic their host had shown when he bravely tried to stop them from coming into the city with lead bullets. Vile crouched to fit in the centre of the platform cr...

Nobody was paying attention as some foppish putz was droning on about the minutes of the last meeting. Hannah flitted about the crowd putting flyers in pockets without anyone noticing. Liddy had postulated that simply finding the flyers would be enough to get word out as they were discovered and was doing the same thing as Hannah. Cat had the job of standing in eyesight of one of the dukes in a black dress that showed a l...

Hope wasn't sure what to make of Liddy and Emma as they walked out of the print shop. Each carried a bundle, Liddy the flyers and Emma the materials from the magic shop, but they both looked like something strange had happened. “Everything alright?” Hope asked. “Everything is fine now,” Liddy almost sang in response. “Just got to get these flyers out.” “Well, I might have an ideal location. Big meeting with both these tow...

Easy let her wings flutter in the breeze as she looked over the railing at the city their ship was flying over. Mari held her by the hips to keep her from falling over again and shivered at the chill wind her so-called clothing failed to mitigate. “I think I figured out why it's called the ‘Eighth City’,” Leira commented as she came out to lean on the railing as well. On the ground, there were two keeps on hilltops surrou...

Hannah hadn't had any time to ask Ving how her flight went. Ving had been overwhelmed with excitement and too desperately in the mood to talk as she pushed Hannah into her racer and closed the door. Hannah set her weapon down in the cockpit as Ving tore off her clothing and shoved her to the floor. Getting mounted so aggressively by Ving was a rare pleasure for Hannah whose hands could tell Ving had been aching for love f...
