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....

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 wanted nothing more than to spend the entirety sleeping. Dreams always and forever will be his home away from home. When he slept and when he dreamt things usually didn’t hurt him. He used the term usually lightly since he had had encounters where he woke up from a dream with mild...

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...
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 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...
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...

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...

“You don’t look like you belong here,” bellowed a strange man. He rose from his spot against a white felted seat stained with the grease of spicy peanut butter noodles. He placed his forefinger at the intersection where his glasses met his nose and pushed them up. The frames in...
Kasoria roved his eyes across the winding ivy and red tile roof and listened to the disorderly bustle coming from the open doors. Next to him, Fagan Manclin sighed and pinched the bridge of his...

Boredom was an enemy, a villain, a masochistic criminal in Kotton’s books. He detested the moment where he would find himself in the grasp of eviltry. His mind required- nay, necessitated to the most emphatic degree- the ability to be stimulated at all hours of the trial, even...

Unhurried and without a strong need to be anywhere, Kotton’s stride regularly faltered. For a few seconds he sauntered smoothly across the flat terrain of the city streets, but after a time, and without warning, he would abruptly stop and to what? To catch a glimpse of an...

Kotton was about ready to close his eyes for the night, only to open them again when the sun plundered its way through the blinds in his kitchen when a frantic rapping, far too loud to be ignored by even a deaf man, forced him upright.
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...

There had just been a bird dive-bombing him on the second floor of the local library. Kotton had shielded himself from the assault before working up the courage to steal a peek through the cracks between his arms. He couldn’t see the bird anywhere. Perhaps it had flown away back...

Little Korlasir, that was the place Kotton had in mind in which to have the samples he had procured from his most recent adventure climbing through the recesses of a small cavern in the Sweetwine Woods. It was still raining a cold, pelting rain, but the energy he had from his...
