Once an isolated and dying township, an influx of academics, adventurers and thrill seekers have made Scalvoris Town their home. From scholars' tea shops to a new satellite campus for Viden Academy, this is an exciting place to visit or make your home!

New Subforums
So, one of the things that has changed in the new site is that the new PSF is visible to everyone. This provides us an opportunity and so, this morning I've created some subforums in there - for completed / approved threads....

Well, I can honestly say I never thought we'd be here.
Maxine sat in the pew in the center of the Glass Temple. Her arms were extended along the back of the seat in a familiar way as though she'd sat in its likeness once before...somewhere not of this plane. The...
Maxine rubbed at her hands. Her nerves were like wildfire in her veins. They had been since they arrived in Scalvoris, but worse now that she was standing across the street from this particular door. Her irritation grew. She had...

Kotton tousled his chestnut hair. A thin lock fell into his face. He pushed it aside with the nonchalance of having been stung by a bee. This fringe really needed to be trimmed. They annoyed him each and everyday he forgot to make an appointment.

Kotton was someone who easily learnt from his mistakes. It was a mixture of a multitude of things- his eagerness to make no similar error: he liked to make people happy, which bordered on the line into people pleasing with ignorant grandeur; he hated to be wrong, which was...

Kotton had been out in the Sweetwine Forest, the best place he could have thought, to practice using a double edged dagger. Even if the clouds were sad and the weather was a bit brisk temperature wise, he was determined to use his free time off work to progress in something he felt...
There was a lot of shuffling going on behind the door. It lasted for quite a wall. Kasoria frowned as he stood there, head slightly cocked as he listened. The feet of chairs scraping across wood. Quick, steady fwap-fwap-fwap of sheafs of paper and...

Kotton waited with all the patience he had left until Eustoria, his mentor in art, decided to speak up against his most recent question. He had just enunciated his need for help. What should I do next? he had inquired with grave eyes looking for any signs of guidance.

Kotton had spent the last hour casually surveying an artist at work and finally, nearing the beginning of the second hour she had conceded in giving him her name. She had also begun to teach him a thing or two about art, particularly drawing with charcoal medium on basic paper....

I don't undewstand what you mean, Kotton admitted, dropping his folded arms until they lay loosely at his sides. He had been studying this stranger of a woman draw spectacular works of art and had been up an emotional hill and down the same valley just to try to get her to explain her...

His heart rate had resolved itself into a normal pulse akin to those who were notably resting themselves against the sofa. Still, he wasn't sure where his trial was taking him. He had admitted himself to the side of a lovely young woman who had artistry skills he hadn't found in...

Kotton wanted nothing more than to spend the entirety sleeping. Dreams always and forever would be his home away from home. When he slept and dreamt things usually didn’t hurt him. He used the term 'usually' lightly since he did have past encounters where he woke up from a dream...

There was an unreal situation happening at the clinic, and it was one Kotton wasn’t fully aware of. He had received nothing in the way of announcement other than an insistence on him being in the diagnosis hall at a specific time. All he knew was that his friend and coworker...

Kotton hoisted his backpack further up his shoulder, and immediately felt the drooping of the fabric from the heaviness of his textbooks. His stride was purposeful, dedicated, directed without hesitation toward the Scholar’s Nook where all visionaries and intelligent folk...

Kotton was perched on the edge of a barstool, eyes as wide as they could be, mouth drooling over the methodology that was being performed by the bartender across the counter from him. His gaze was like a hawk’s; it took in every measure, every detail like it was a factor of life...

It was the same night Kotton had undertaken playing a game dubbed 'roulette'. He had won only once, but that was enough for him; he already felt more than comfortably susceptible to the black hole of gambling. He had introduced himself to the concept of 'IOUs' and mooched off...

Kotton liked speaking aloud to himself. Especially when it came to his most unruly of thoughts. Keeping them contained within his mind tended to hurt overtime. There were so many, too many, and they seemed to all like running into each other. It was stuffy inside. The traffic...

Barging through the front doors, the guardsmen continued to chauffer the poor, dead girl up through more obstacles. The thin corridor felt longer than the stairs had taken to transcend, but the men didn't show any sign of discomfort. They eventually met the surgical room located...

Time was a fickle thing, and it was no different for Kotton. The sky was still dark when he woke, the room long since lost its warmth from the previous evening. But he was not cold. Even without clothes to cover his body, the sheets a tangled mess on the floor, he was not cold....

There was someone at work whom Kotton disliked. If his heart could transcend outside his ribcage, it would revolt, relish a weapon and strike this man down for all his worth. Maybe a tad dramatic, but you know how things went. The guy was that kind of person. Always doing the...

There was a buzzing laugh, like a colony of bees dodging an accumulation of phlegm in an old man’s throat; they were burrowing up out of a pair ofblackened lungs from spending too many years inhaling cigars. The laughter came from a stout man, who most likely wasn’t a man at...

The buildings he passed reminded him of the time he spent writing poems during a peaceful hike through town. He had described the exteriors and their ornate beauty, even the pretties that were found inside. He had done this to practice his form of poetic freestyle. All the poems...
