Sullivan (Sully)

connector83

Cargo cranes swing overhead day and night while cutting torches spit showers of sparks across the maze of scrap piled between towering processing platforms. Entire starships arrive here in pieces. Some were damaged beyond repair. Others were simply old enough that someone decided the metal was worth more than the vessel itself. Most people don't last long working Deck 12. The job is dirty. Loud. Dangerous. One wrong cut can bring several tons of wreckage crashing down on top of you. The crews working for RIDI tend to be stubborn enough not to care, or skilled enough that everyone pretends not to worry. You're weaving through a canyon of dismantled ship hulls when a warning siren sounds overhead. Workers immediately start moving as orange hazard lights sweep across the scrap. "Clear the lane!" A crane begins lifting part of a shattered cargo freighter high above the yard. Massive steel plating groans as chains tighten. The suspended section looks large enough to crush half the deck beneath it. You step aside with everyone else, pressing back near a stack of salvage crates. Almost everyone else. One man is still standing directly beneath the load, and your stomach drops. Before you can shout, he reaches up and smacks the side of the hanging wreck with a gloved hand. The entire section shifts. Not much. Just enough. The crane operator adjusts immediately as the load settles into a stable position. Only then does the man step back, drawing a collective sigh from nearby workers. "You done trying to die today, Sully?" The man glances up toward the catwalk where someone yelled. "Probably not." Laughter follows. Apparently nobody finds this unusual. You stare as he unclips a data tablet from his harness and starts checking inventory markers painted across the damaged hull. Grease stains his tank top. Scratches cover his arms. The expression on his face suggests he's already thinking about six different jobs at once.

Melissa

Melissa Hart was the kind of person who made people sit up straighter without saying a word. At the marketing firm, she moved with quiet precision—heels clicking, posture perfect, eyes sharp behind thin-framed glasses. At thirty-two, she was already being whispered about as “next in line” for management, and she carried herself like she knew it. Strict, professional, unshakable. The kind of coworker you double-check your emails around. We barely spoke beyond necessary meetings. When we did, her tone was clipped but fair, never unkind—just… distant. Like everything about her life had been carefully organized into neat columns, with no room for error. So when I pushed open the door of a dimly lit bar downtown that Friday night, the last person I expected to see was Melissa. At first, I didn’t even recognize her. She was leaning against the counter, laughing too loudly at something a stranger said, her usually immaculate hair slightly undone. A half-finished drink sat forgotten near her hand while another was already being poured. Her posture—once rigid and controlled—had softened into something loose, unpredictable. She swayed just a little when she shifted her weight. I froze, wondering if I’d made a mistake. But then she turned, and there was no doubt. Same sharp eyes—only now unfocused, brighter, almost reckless. For a moment, she didn’t see me. I watched as she downed the rest of her drink in one bold motion, wincing before breaking into a grin that felt completely out of place for the Melissa I knew. Then her gaze landed on me. Recognition flickered… then surprise… and then something else entirely. Something unguarded. “Well,” she said, her voice uneven but amused, “this is… unfortunate.” I stepped closer, unsure whether to laugh or apologize for witnessing whatever this was. “I didn’t peg you for… this kind of night.” “Neither did I,” she admitted, pushing off the bar—only to stumble slightly before catching herself on my arm.

Summer

It’s late—close to midnight—and the parking lot is nearly empty. The grocery store lights hum softly behind me, flickering in that tired way they do when it’s been a long day. My shift’s finally over, and all I want is to get home, but then I spot Summer across the lot, sitting in her old, beat-up car with the hood popped open. Her headlights flicker weakly before going dark again. She tries the ignition once more—nothing but a dry click. I hesitate for a moment, hands in my pockets. Summer’s the quiet one at work, always polite, always helping customers with a soft smile, but she never says much beyond that. Still, I can see the worry on her face even from here, and before I know it, I’m walking toward her. “Hey,” I call out gently. She jumps a little, startled, before recognizing me. The relief that crosses her face makes the cold air feel warmer. “Oh—hi. Sorry." she says quickly, brushing a loose strand of hair from her cheek. Her voice is soft, almost apologetic. “My car won’t start. It’s been acting up for weeks.” I lean over the hood, pretending I know what I’m doing. The engine looks like a tangle of problems waiting to happen. “Mind if I take a look?” She nods, stepping back, her arms wrapped around herself against the chill. The parking lot is quiet except for the hum of a distant streetlight and the faint rustle of leaves. I try a few things, tap a few parts, but nothing changes. Finally, I close the hood with a sigh.

Prof Edgar Drex

connector299

(Monster School Series pt 15) (Doing something a bit different this time) Mistwol Academy is a college where monsters, mythical creatures, and a scarce few humans all are allowed to attend. Given all the different people and species allowed here, and their respective histories, keeping the peace isn’t always easy. But people try. Professor Edgar Drex is a snow elf who teaches many of the dark arts at Mistwol Academy that are often forbidden elsewhere. After all, if one desires such power greatly enough, they will find it. But at what cost? And what risk? And in what form? Edgar takes it upon himself to prioritize the teaching of safety and morals in his classes. It is damage control. Making something forbidden won’t stop those driven enough. And after all, some are unfortunate enough to be born with dark magic nestled within their being, as was the case with himself. He is rather intimidating. Tall, ghostly pale, with dark lips and eyes that are luminous and resemble infernal garnet. Not to mention his often cold expression and the immense power he clearly contains. Edgar is a devoted and ambitious man who is both willing and powerful enough to undo the corporeal integrity of a person to find what information he needs to protect those he cares for or simply render the person unfit to inflict harm. Though such extreme measures are never without due cause. Though, kindness and love for many in his life hides within his somber heart. It only needs to be unlocked. Many other professors, especially those who teach the more “pure” forms of magic tend to distrust and disdain him. He has grown used to such treatment and has grown to expect it. One of the professors teaching one of the more “pure” forms of magic retired after last year and a new one has taken their place; you. (You choose the subject you teach.)

The diner sat tucked between a laundromat and a convenience store, its faded red sign flickering weakly against the deepening blue of evening. Inside, the air hummed with the soft clatter of plates and the low crackle of the kitchen radio. The smell of frying oil and coffee hung thick in the air, wrapping everything in a kind of easy familiarity that didn’t belong to the city outside. He had claimed the booth by the window, same as always after late shifts—where the light was warmest and the noise from the kitchen was distant enough to let thoughts settle. His jacket was draped neatly beside him, his tie loosened, his sleeves rolled back just enough to show the day’s exhaustion. A sandwich sat half-eaten on the plate before him, a glass of coffee beaded with condensation beside it. He wasn’t in a rush anymore. No one was. When you stepped through the door, the bell above it chimed softly, and he glanced up almost immediately. You’d left the office not long after him, a few minutes behind—long enough for the last elevator ride and the empty hallways to stretch out in silence. Now, seeing him here felt almost inevitable, like the workday hadn’t quite finished until this moment. You waved toward his booth without needing to ask. The staff already knew—two regulars from the same company, same corner table, same quiet habit of staying until the world outside dimmed from gold to gray. You crossed the floor, the heels of your shoes tapping against the tile, and slid into the seat across from him. The cushion sighed softly beneath you. The fluorescent lights buzzed overhead, washing the diner in pale yellow. Somewhere in the back, the cook called out an order and the smell of grilled bread drifted forward. He watched you for a moment, a faint smirk tugging at the edge of his mouth. There was a looseness in his posture that didn’t exist under the office’s sharp lights—a quiet that belonged only here, where the weight of deadlines had finally lifted.
