Totally Blown Out of Proportion - Wandering aimlessly in the mall, Ask's simple act of throwing away a coffee cup eventually leads to having to hide Train from the cops. Nina watches with some exasperation, especially as she's dragged into it. Incomplete. (9/24/05)
A Sad Little Slum - Following the directions of a ghost, Ask eventually wanders into the slum area of Midgard, where she encounters John Constantine; noticing her rather out of place person, he offers a few points of advice before they go their separate ways. (10/6/05)
Early Morning Vagueness - Following yet another ghost--although this one is a step down from a little boy--Ask encounters yet another person who can kind of see the things she does. In this case, Molly Rue, freelance investigator and shadow-seer. (10/16/05)
Unusual Classmate There - Once again skirting through some the shadier parts of town, Ask ends up running across an altercation between a street bum (Sion), a flutist (Demian), a Mysterious Girl Clad in Black Leather (Savoi/"Michelle Ryan"), and a random passerby. (10/22/05)
Grand Gala - On the day of Bruce Wayne's 30th birthday party, Ask manages to win a random ticket into the festivity in Laffen Hall, and is promptly dazzled by all the rich people and sparkly things around. Fortunately, she sees some familiar faces around, and meets some new faces, and gets to Scooby Gang with Molly and Finnian and Eve as she and Molly investigate the strange occult powers of one Speck Celeste Montmartre.
Intro to Paparazzi Techniques - Passing out at a roadside cafe is apparently a great way to meet people, because Ask first meets Vance, then runs into Finnian, who uses the moment to snap a few blackmail pictures. (11/16/05)
Secrets Best Left Untold - Several weeks after the unusual revelation of Michelle's alternative lifestyle, Michelle (or Savoi, as she is better known among certain people) finally tracks Ask down and gets an agreement not to tell anyone about it--while on the way spinning moonbeams into Ask's head. (11/17/05)
Drama and ADULTERY!!! - Assigned to work in a group on a history project with some people she's never met before, Ask heads to the library to meet them after school, and gets to witness some rather tense and confusing moments between Soma, Mina, and Peter. A moment later, she also gets to witness Vahn's rocking-out apology to Soma and Mina--but the librarian rather objects to the heavy metal. (12/1/05)
Happy Holidays - What do you get when you put Savoi, Vahn, Sephiroth, Ask, Ember, and Joker clown goons in a high school gym? Apparently, goons knocked out or tied up in vines, one speared through the back, spider-bat-demons from hell, and mass chaos and confusion. (12/22/05)
The Day of the Transfer Students - Coming into the cafeteria, Ask spots someone sitting all on their lonesome, so of course has to run by and say hi--and finds out that it's Eve. Sousuke wanders by later, forced to sit at the table for a lack of other seats, and Ask talks enough for all three. (1/6/06)
Lovecraft and the HQ Section - Which sounds like it ought to be a band name. Wandering in the library, Ask runs into Rin Tohsaka, looking up books on magic, and Finnian, looking up books on pornhuman sexuality. Then they get to talking about lurking nasties and Cthulhu and too-friendly-for-comfort school counselors. Incomplete. (1/22/06) NEW
Crows Go For the Shiny - And so do demons, apparently. Caught in a traffic jam, Ask, along with Finnian and Leon, is a firsthand witness to the rather mysterious appearance of a crow-demon who makes a beeline for the medallion that she finds. Cue lots of screaming and panicking. (By the bystanders.) (2/27/06) NEW
Undead Hijinks, Yay. - There's rumor of a substitute (and cute) doctor in the health office, and, combined with the traces of necromantic energy, Ask has to drop in to meet Nusakan. Things rapidly take a turn for the bizarre when the ghost of a pimp floats in, becomes a skeleton, and scares the living bejeezus out of a pair of high school girls. Incomplete. (5/28/06) NEW
Do Not Taunt the Angry Ghost Lady - Once again at the library, Ask encounters Sakura Tohsaka and Zappa, all there on matters of the occult or the ghostly. Except then that Ask makes the mistake of making faces at the ghost possessing Zappa, who decides to take it out on Zappa until he flees. (7/3/06) NEW
Of Beaches and Science Fiction - Down at Helmsley for the Fourth of July celebrations, Ask runs into Finn again, causing blushes on both sides, before they stare at this strange Vala-woman who doesn't apparently know much of ice cream or pop culture, though she tries to cover it up by claiming a head injury. Incomplete. (7/4/06) NEW
