[WP] Waffle making also happens to be spell casting, but in a portable and delicious form. You're the best in the kingdom at waffling, which is why you are summoned when a powerful stranger appears before the royal court threatening to end this heresy. He calls himself "The Muffin Man". | *"You should have given up when you had the chance."*
Spitting dirt out from under my tongue, I lifted up to see *him\-\-* big hat straight, apron billowing, the Muffin Man looked down at me coolly. I grit my teeth, and somehow found the energy to growl, "Screw you."

Considering he didn't have thumbs or even anything close to hands, I don't know how he carried it.

[WP] There is a tree outside of your office window. Every day you listen to the cute little birds that live in it, merrily chirping away. Lately though, you’re starting to understand what they are actually saying, and it is terrifying. | I lay awake in bed, staring at the ceiling. I had not slept much last night, my mind was still racing with the one big unanswered question in all of this, “Why?

You, however, believe that a fourth way is the best. This is your case. | "What are you doing by speaking an incantation?

[WP] In a world where the strength and nature of magic is determined by how well you know a subject, you are the world’s first paleontologist. | From the start, I had expected scorn – particularly from other practitioners of the hard magicks. From the chemoturgists and the physical mages, of course, but especially from the other life wizards. The purists, they thought themselves.

[WP] You can see the brightness or darkness in the souls of the people around you. This skill has made you the deciding factor in many criminal cases. One day, your case pits you in front of the darkest soul you have ever encountered. This is the story of why they weren’t put in prison. | The law used to call us *enhanced lie detectors*, but we can’t detect lies.

'How'd it go?' Rose asked peering over his shoulder, trying to read the laptop screen.
'Well someone called and asked if I had a wife they could entertain.'
Rose wrinkled her nose.... | Being a recruiter sucks. It's seriously the worst. Imagine being the spam filter of the hiring process. Even netting clients like the Lawful League didn't help.

We had an hour before I had to pick up Salbei from the vet. We were standing outside of the *Home Movie Theater* on Brockton Street. It was close to lunch-time and we hadn't eaten breakfast. Still, the parking lot was empty and I didn't see a lot of people milling around inside.

[WP] Every year there’s a holiday “Burrowsday” where everyone goes and locks themselves in communal vaults for the day and night. You wake up on Burrowsday in the middle of your town, a head wound, and a note reading “good luck” | Ted didn’t remember anything.
His head throbbed from where he had been attacked. The world spun as he regained his feet. It was a moment before he even saw the note. Printed on a plain sheet of paper in a bland font, he wasn’t entirely sure who it had been meant for. As he stared at the message, rain began to fall. ... | "Good luck?! What the fuck kind of sick joke is this?"
You sit up and wince at the pain at the back of your head. A lump and some blood can be felt as you examine the painful area by touch. You slowly stand up, trying to be careful as you steady yourself. It's dawn, but overcast weather is making things look even mor... | |
