Let's pin an intro.

I'm Jack. Late 30s, living in the southern US. I work nights in an office job, and play video games, read, and struggle with writer's block as a hobby. I also enjoy art, which you'll see me repost more often than anything.

A check to see if a new school is up to code …

From ‘House Rules’.

#WiPSnips
“Excellent. Excellent.” Another tick, a speedy clutch for one sheet of paper that tried, desperately, to escape, and Ilbnot looked to the next item on the list. “Hidden corridors, rooms and compartments? Especially the Room of Displeasement on the fourth floor.” “All locked and magically warded beyond anything even the greatest of us could hope to break.” Stopping at a bush, barren of anything, let alone flowers, the Headmaster seemed to find something terribly fascinating. “You know, in Spring, this bush grows the most wonderful Flaming Berries. We’ll have to have that dug up, of course. Don’t want any unexpected infernos in trousers. Not again.”

I don’t have ‘fourth’ but I do have several ‘fours ‘ and in this case, “fourteen’ —

[from Bright Little Lies]
"I said, will you be going home for the holidays?" "Home?" "I do see why you wouldn't want to. Things must be rather unpleasant there..." And now, Lucius takes his hand away, and steps back a proper distance. "To be perfectly honest, I'm surprised your self-righteous 'protectors,' McGonagall and Dumbledore, were so... content to leave you there, all those years ago - how old *are* you now, Harry -?" This seems... important, somehow, though Harry isn't sure why. "Almost fourteen, sir." "Mm. Well, it seems... cruel. Especially for such a *famous* young person such as yourself." "You're saying they *knew*?" "You think they didn't?" Harry can only gawk, and feel the cold dusty air on his cheek.

From my #WIP Star Struck:

Colonel Whittington didn’t put Bob on the invite list? Victor thought fast. “I’ll check on that. There’s a dinner at the club on the Fourth of July, a meet and greet with the movie guys and Miss Miller. Consider this your invite.”

[from Skipping a Generation]
Scorpius is in bed, in Lucius' bed - and the scents are everywhere. In the bedclothes, the velvet that drapes the four-poster, and when Scorpius reaches for him, Lucius is right there - looming in the dim, giving Scorpius his weight and warmth, his skin and his scars - and Scorpius is — Scorpius doesn't know, really, what will happen. "What will happen is — you will be bound to me. Always. It is not like a spell you can break, not even in death. It is old, dark, family magic." And there is the sense that his mind is not his own, and yet still his own - *more* his own. It is power and will and — And *years* — * Ages.* Scorpius breathes, and tries to prepare.

This one is from my #wip, 1/3 complete, as yet unnamed sequel to “Shadow Of Horizon” in which Lt. Cmdr Sarah Jensen is forced to deal with the ongoing issues at Horizon outpost on Mars.

#writesky #fourth #sci-fi
Jensen didn't respond, recognizing Harlow's grousing as his irascible personality leaking out in rhetorical question form. Instead she followed him down a short hallway to one of the four private rooms in the medical bay, three of which were occupied by the victims of the accident. The fourth victim, Santos, was still missing and at this point Cole was all but certain he would remain that way, given the severity and location of the accident. Entering Moreau's room, Harlow drew back the curtain surrounding the bed and nodded to the nurse who had been sitting next to Moreau. She stood and left, leaving Jensen, the doctor and the patient. Jensen had been kept up to date on all the victim's injuries. In Moreau's case, he had been standing on the far side of the mining equipment, which left the machinery between him and the ignition point to bear the brunt of the explosion. It had probably saved his life.

#WIPSnips December 8 - fourth

Bronn and Emerald encounter a new type of Grimm, and uncover a new atrocity in the war against Salem.

#writesky #ocsky #rwby #rwbyocs #bronnguerrera #nyxthorne #emeraldsustrai
His companion from Atlas Academy lay mired in the Grimm’s insides, some white melted substance covering her left eye. The right one fluttered open, and struggled to focus. She finally locked onto Bronn’s face, piercing him with her silver gaze. “Bronn…” she muttered weakly. “You made it.” “Nyx, I-“ “Stop. It’s weak now, but it’s regenerating,” Nyx said. “You have to kill me to stop it.” “No, I can’t!” “You have to. I can’t fight anymore. K…. Killllll…” Her eye became unfocused again, and her speech slurred. The white mass over her left eye began pulsing rhythmically. “Killlll…. Meee….” “Nyx!” Bronn shouted, but a single gunshot silenced him. He looked up, and saw Emerald aiming one of her guns at Nyx. Emerald fired again, and again, and a fourth time, tears streaming down her face. When she had finally finished, she sank to her knees. The Grimm began to disintegrate, no longer able to survive without Nyx serving as its host. Bronn sat down heavily in the sand, then fell backward, staring up at the sky, his mind racing with what he had just seen. How could Nyx have been alive? How was she transformed into a Grimm? How many other people from his team had survived? From Mantle, from Atlas?

#WIPSnips December 7 - empty

After a harrowing ordeal at the hands of their foe, Serah comes to a shocking discovery.

#writesky #ocsky #starwarsocs #starwars #serahmisheni #adirakotri #arminjace #valindarros
Serah awoke, freed from the constraints of Valin’s machine. She felt dizzy, sore, and somehow… empty. It was the emptiness that bothered her the most. She began to reach out, to try to sense what she could about this place, but nothing came to her. She looked around, spotted Armin and the girl Adira. The Thyferran knelt beside their enemy, who appeared badly hurt. His back was to Serah, and she approached them slowly. Despite seeing the two of them in front of her, Serah still couldn’t feel them there. The open hostility she got from Adira previously was gone, as was the calming familiarity of Armin’s presence. That was when she realized what happened. I can’t connect to the Force anymore.

A repeat from "direction", Emerald comes up with a daring, risky plan during a Grimm ambush

#writesky #ocsky #rwby #rwbyocs #bronnguerrera #emeraldsustrai
Bronn managed to bring his shield up in time to block the Ravager’s talons, hearing a sharp clang as the batlike Grimm was rebuffed. His shot pierced the creature’s neck; it squawked painfully as it disintegrated. “I’ve got an idea!” Emerald shouted. “How much am I gonna hate it?” Bronn asked. “About as much as I do. How much charge does your shield have?” Bronn made a quick check. “About 75 percent of max.” “That’ll work,” she said. “Get ready to launch me.” “Which direction?” Bronn asked. “Straight up,” she answered. “Now.” She ran toward him, as fast as the sand would allow, and jumped. Bronn held his shield steady, angling it for her to land. Once he felt the impact, he tilted the shield straight up, and activated the repulsor. It fired, launching Emerald high into the air, amidst the flock of Ravagers. She unhooked the locks on Thief’s Respite, freeing the bladed chains and slashing at the Grimm, slicing through several of them in one swing. One of the surviving Ravagers caught her arm, attempting to carry her off. Bronn quickly aimed, zeroing in with Lumina Crash, and fired a charged shot at the creature, shearing its wing off. It dropped Emerald, sending the illusionist in a free fall toward the desert floor. Bronn tossed his weapons aside – what Grimm were left were already in retreat – and centered himself under Emerald, catching her just before she impacted.

During a training exercise, Serah finds herself in a challenging dogfight, torn between keeping herself safe and protecting a medical frigate.

#writesky #ocsky #starwarsocs #starwars #serahmisheni
“Six, break to starboard!” an urgent voice cried out. She rolled instinctively, but not before the hiss of green laser fire stitched across her fighter’s nose. In the time it had taken her to deal with the bomber, the Interceptor had angled around for an attack on her and taken advantage of her weakened shields. Without Five’s warning, I’d be dead. She began pulling energy away from her blasters – they were nearly overheated anyway – and pushing them back into her shields. Slowly the percentage began to climb as she maneuvered away from the Interceptor. There was an explosion behind her, and the red dot that had been chasing her winked out - Five had gotten his kill. She waited for him to catch up and take point before angling on a new pair. Her astromech gave a panicked shriek - a Star Destroyer had just reverted to realspace behind them, blocking their exit vector. The ship, Subjugator, was a kilometer-long platform of guns carrying three squadrons of TIEs that would wreak havoc on the frigate and the squadron.

“I’m sorry I lied to you all.” Alice said, mostly to herself. “But I needed these cages free. There are so many of them, and there are so many people in the above world that belong in them. You will kill them, bring them here, and their children will be left alone to be under my control. Just like how I was. It’s what they all deserve.” This twist of hers brought hysterical, screaming laughter to Alice. She spun around in the sea of her mindless minions surrounding her, reveling in their misery and their despair, almost feeding off of it as if she needed it to survive. Once again, Alice felt unstoppable.

Today’s #wipsnips word is “belong”. #writingcommunity #writingprompts #writesky #writersky #amwriting
  “You’re not still at the cemetery, are you?” Allie sounded a wee bit judgmental.  “No, I’m lost in…Fort Solonga, I think.  I’m not really sure.  I guess that’s what lost means, huh?”  I was trying to read the signs on the buildings as I passed.  Wherever I was, there wasn’t much around besides huge houses set back from the road, mostly hidden behind towering trees.  I felt like I was trespassing even being in their neighborhood and that, any minute, torch wielding villagers would step out in front of my car and banish me, yelling that I clearly didn’t belong in fancy pants land.  I could fit at least four of the house I grew up in inside one of those houses, some of them even just inside the garage.

Morning. This is a repeat of a scene for me as it's the only "belong" I have. But never mind. 😄

Kaili’s smile was wide. “Since we are in Engineering, can we make it official now?” Elara waved her closer. Kaili obliged. When she reached the middle of the room, Elara raised her hand. Kaili stopped. “Kaili Kael, with the crew of the Heavy Freight Vessel Tartarus to bear witness, I hereby bestow upon you the Field Commission of Trainee Technician, pending corporate review should we ever return to Earth. Welcome to the crew. You belong to Toren now.” Ben spoke up from behind the girl, “May God have mercy on your soul.” Elara took a moment to look around at the five gathered there, while Kaili bounced on the balls of her feet, beaming. The crew were a scrappy mess. But they'd done it! “Enough fun and frolics, let's talk to our digital pal shall we?” She pulled her comm from her pocket, tapping the open mic. “You there Rec?” The voice came back, tinny through the small speaker. “Captain. I’d expected your call earlier. I’m afraid you will be docked for the damage to the company equipment.” Her brows knitted together. “I don’t care about that. You know that we have control—” The Rec cut her off. “Captain Browne, while I appreciate your call, your rebellion is, let me find an appropriate word, cute.

During a brief stint on Coruscant, Adira goes off on her own, and returns a few hours later with an unexpected addition. Bonus: visual aid!

#writesky #ocsky #starwars #starwarsocs #adirakotri #arminjace #digitalart
"Where'd you get off to for so long?" Armin asked. Adira flashed him a mischievous smile and simply said, "I had an appointment." "We weren't on Coruscant for that long," Armin replied, perplexed. "What appointment could you possibly have had?" "I wanted a tattoo," she said. "Something for me." Armin arched an eyebrow at her. She smiled and turned away as if she were going back to her room. She stopped, though, and looked over her shoulder at him as she unfastened her top, sliding it down around her shoulders. As the cloth revealed her pale skin, it also revealed a dark marking in a shape that Armin recognized almost immediately: a Thyferran lotus. "Adi, is that...?" She smiled and nodded. "But why?" "Well, I said it was for me, but really it's for you," she said. "To let you know that I belong to you." ----------

Emerald finds herself on the wrong end of a 4v1 fight, against some very angry (and very drunk) refugees, who don't believe that she's turned over a new leaf.

#writesky #ocsky #rwby #rwbyocs #bronnguerrera #emeraldsustrai
Emerald’s back bumped into the wall as the men advanced on her. She reached behind her, feeling for the comforting grips of Thief’s Respite, but resisted the urge to draw. “Go ahead,” the ringleader said. “Nothing would give us more pleasure than to pay you back for everything you did.” “Look, fellas, I don’t know what you’re talking about,” she started. “Yes you do. You were there at Beacon, during the Vytal Festival. We know you and your partner started the whole mess,” one of the others said. “People died there. Lost their homes.” “You don’t belong here,” the ringleader cut in again. “I’m giving you this chance to walk away. If you don’t, you’re not gonna make it out of here alive.” “Is there a problem here?” a voice said from the doorway. Emerald winced inwardly. Why did he have to be here? The men turned to look at Bronn, standing in the doorway, cutting an imposing figure with his shield and axe. “This don’t concern you,” the ringleader said. “This is between us and this traitor.”

#WIPSnips November 24 - debut

After the evacuation of Mantle and Atlas, refugees are beginning to feel the strain in Vacuo. #RobynHill, loved by the people, decided to create a new task force to help both the refugees and their erstwhile hosts.
#writesky #ocsky #rwby #rwbyocs #bronnguerrera
“The reason I called you all here,” Robyn said, “is to discuss the formation of a new task force here in Vacuo. Back in Mantle, we already had the Happy Huntresses helping to take care of our citizens, but now that we’re here, it’s obvious that even they aren’t enough to cover everything. With all of us crowded in one place, pushing in on Vacuo’s citizens, quarters are tight and nerves are frayed. That’s the perfect atmosphere to attract Grimm, and we’ll need to mobilize every Huntsman we can to help fend them off. Even still, some Grimm might get past them and wreak havoc. So, starting today, I’m planning to debut a new force: the Disaster Corps.” There was a good deal of murmuring, and a smattering of applause. Robyn continued, “The primary goal of the Disaster Corps will be emergency response in the wake of Grimm attacks. Eliminating stragglers, search and rescue, and reconstruction of damaged portions of the city.” Bronn nodded as he listened to her speech. It made sense, and the fact of the matter was, it would give the refugees from Mantle and Atlas somewhere to focus their efforts, so that they weren’t just dead weight. “Ultimately, the corps will be made up of civilians, but Huntsmen and Huntresses are also encouraged to volunteer. They’ll be a critical line of defense for the city. If you’re going to volunteer, see me or Fiona,” Robyn concluded. Beside her, the sheep-like Faunus meekly waved, with a notepad in her hand, presumably to record names of volunteers.

I wanted to dedicate more time to this piece! Here's the new version :D

I did some corrections too, I feel like I learned so much!🤍
Redraw of a Frieren drawing that went viral. Original drawing is by user SpaceDev1158 on Twitter/X. This is a finished version of a previous sketch portrait I drew of the character Frieren looking up into the sky, with a very low camera angle. We can see blue petals flying behind her with some clouds in the back.
