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....

Kotton's cheeks were so flushed after having just smashed that poor melon into bits. He had meant to, it just sort of happened. The lady merchant raised her eyebrows in shock and paused for a time before offering him a soft smile. It's alright, don't worry about it. Accidents...

Since he was now the one who was naked, Kotton’s first and best course of action was to obtain another set of clothing to wear. He hadn’t had time to do any laundry, so the only options available to him were day old work attire, and boy, did they smell. They had been thrown...

Only a few more metres before Kotton and the unconscious boy over his shoulders stood at the base of the stepsinto his house. He didn’t care to ascend them. Rather, he chose to set down his fallen companion before falling into a heap beside him. His arms burned and his legs...

Kotton was as uncomfortable as a pudgy cat having been forced into a chipmunk’s hidey hole. He was stationed in an unpadded seat across an unceremonious table wearing the most ridiculous attire his father could have unburied. It had been at the bottom of the family chest, he had...

Kotton awoke with a start, scrambling among the various fabrics and cloth accosting him blamed by his blankets. He tossed and turned, wrestling with the material as if it were an alligator, its massive jaws clamped tightly shut against his legs. Finally the blanket conceded and...

The trek it took for Kotton to emerge from his spot in front of the Knight’s Rest Inn and Tavern to the Greystone Tea House was one that gave him ample time to think about the remaining plans he had for the rest of the day.
And there was nothing. No tricks stashed up any...

The smell of coffee leaked through the curtainless windows. The shop was busy with the bustle of people. Some sat at oblong tables with stiff wooden legs, drinking copious quantities of herbal tea. Others heralded a change of pace that mimicked the distress of needing a cup of...

The Siren’s Embrace, a brothel found in the middle region of the homely (or not so homely) town of Almund. Kotton had learnt a thing or two about this part of Scalvoris but didn’t want to formulate any opinions before he had a look at the district himself.

The Scholar’s Nook was inviting today, more so than it usually was, and as a bookworm, it didn’t take much to entice him. Kotton tapped his pencil against his chin and stuck out his tongue, deep in concentration. He was spending the remainder of his afternoon with his nose in...
It began, as most things do, with a ferret having a tremendously clever idea. Winston paused in the midst of tinkering with a pocket-sized lump of refined Ruby of Love and looked up, whiskers twitching. He'd spent the...

It was rather late, yet Kotton found himself wide awake and staring out at the streets of the city. Things had become rather stressful for him the last few days. Things had gotten out of hand at the medical office a few too many times and one of those times had almost cost him...

Kotton grazed the bottle of the bowl with his tongue; glorious flavours washing throughout his mouth. And down it went, better than the sting of alcohol at the back of his throat. Much better.
He had just finished attempting to make an ethnic sauce of sorts. He had utilised his...

Try as he might, Kotton was never good with words. When it came to speaking to someone, he was a mess. He wasn’t a very social person to begin with and having to converse with just about anyone sent him spiralling into somewhat of a mild panic. It didn’t help with his lisp-...

Always down for a challenge, a young alcoholic with the mixed blood of an Eidisi, a Biqaj and Human, was morally driven short of any pride. This trial was a trial meant for drinking and celebration. It was custom for consumption to begin at the cusp of dawn and continue...

The sun had set long ago, and it gave way to the insurgence of the moon. If Kotton could, he would document the celestial shapes that transpired during the transition, but unfortunately, his vision and attentiveness wasn’t so keen and he was certain he was underestimating the...
I need one of them!
Winston earned a good relationship with Galena during the pirate relief threads he did here , where he earnt an agreement from the Order to co-operate with Isonomia with relief efforts.
Also, I spoke to Peg and she said I was OK to use these City NPC's in this thread....

The steps up to the clinic's front doors always made Kotton slip. And it wasn't because they were icy. It was because they had been constructed with the petty desire to make the anyone fall. It was a choice the construction workers made that probably gave them absolutely joy and...

A young, partially deaf man had entered the plane of higher thought and innovation. He swam through fallacious waves akin to those of an oceans’, gradually taking physical form into a mindscape he hadn’t touched in several trials. Lately, his soul had only the strength to stand...

Kotton was perched on the edge of a barstool, eyes wide, mouth drooling over the methodology performed by the bartender across the counter from him.
His gaze was like a hawk’s- taking in every measure, every detail like it meant life or death to him. He had almost forgotten...

It was the same night as when Kotton had undertaken the experience of playing the game of roulette. He had won only once, but that was enough to make him susceptible to the black hole of gambling. He had bought off his new companion, Miss Iona, with a loan of fifty chips, and chips, as...

Kotton liked speaking aloud to himself. Keeping when it came to his own thoughts. Keeping them contained within his mind would hurt overtime. There were so many, too many, all running into each other. It was stuffy inside. The traffic was so immense that things were always in a state of...

Kotton was speaking with a spirit, an encounter he had only dreamt of during passages where drunkenness met with sobriety. But here he was, as adjusted to reality and its ever-accruing misfortunes, conversing with someone whom he had tried to save but failed. And she was very...
