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....

Being witness to a death was never easy. To Kotton, even animals were considered ‘someone’ and not ‘something’. He believed they held a soul and/or consciousness, a cognition of their own. It didn’t matter what others thought- souls existed and they experienced and lived ....

Kotton was tired of the ‘all or nothing’ dogma of his workplace. 'Mistakes were not made from human folly but instead due to the process’ irreverence to fool-proofing'. Kotton couldn’t keep himself from scoffing. He had been handed several 'standard operating procedures'...

You find yourself slumbering in a field of dreams that can only be grasped by a hand experienced in the concept of slow motion. You are purely designated with the completion of the tasks of the day as they are presented to you, not persuaded by thought or opinion. They simply...
It was a cold evening in Scalvoris, the icey weather settling in as the cold cycle came closer to an end. Everyone was wrapped in warm cloaks and thick clothing to fight off the biting winds as Sylas, having just finished work at a nearby forge to make what money he...

May I help you? Kotton didn’t jump at the sudden voice. He didn’t whirl himself around to see who had spoken to him. His lack of hearing gave him the choice to thoughtfully look at the cashier. And when he did, he found a middle aged woman with auburn hair and ominous grey-blue eyes....

Standing just outside his house, Kotton held a hand-me-down pipe between his lips. He had lit it just a few moments ago, now puffing out pillows of smoke, watching them disperse against the frigid air. The sky was so lonely, no star nor moon to comfort the glowering expanse of...
They moved off into a more remote section of the building, following Felicity to where she reintegrated her form, as the two of them kept a careful eye out for company. I hate to say it Winston, but you really should reconsider. There's dogs and men on the other...

Kotton felt bile rising in his throat. He had consumed far too much, that much was obvious. But had he reached his limit? He wasn’t quite sure. He reflexively put his index finger deep into the cavernous expanse of his mouth and searched the back of his throat. He found that...
Newfound freedom was an interesting thing. There was a time not long ago that Sylas worked on somebody else's schedule. Woke when he needed to wake, worked for as long as he was instructed to work, ate only when he was given time to eat. Once one task...

Kotton was people watching. It was a pastime he thoroughly enjoyed so long as there was something or someone to watch. Consequently he contemplated whether what it was he saw was truly reality or a destined playwright sanctioned for his own amusement. Was what he viewed really...

Something was off with the young man’s sniffer. Was the smell of far too much lavender or copious amounts of lemongrass? Maybe it was a mixture of the two. Whatever the case, his nose ran and itched and forced him to scrunch it up like a pig every few minutes. How was he...

The sun was neither rising nor setting. He didn’t know what term to use for the sun's present form, so Kotton settled on the term 'sun-telling'. It was an intermittent state between rising and setting where the glowing orb in the sky had to tell you what it was doing because just...

Kotton had been in rapt awe after having met his new mentor/healer, so much so, that he had requested to book another session for the following week. The weekend came and went terribly slow, but finally gave way to the much anticipated day.

The dirt was studded by the prints of midnight beasts. Kotton couldn’t get his mind off how strange his dream had been last night. It wasn’t one he was lucid in making it all that more fascinating. But what had he been doing? Tracking down a monster? Following the tracks of a...
Winston scurried along the pier, his little legs moving as fast as they could while also trying not to trip on the uneven planks. He was running late, having gotten caught up in an experiment at the lab with the Portellar they had planned . The ferret hoped that Balthazar would not be too...

Kotton was no quitter except for those times that he was, so here he went giving talking another try. After the latest session, he had taken a step back and figuratively shut his systems down. He had tried to reason with his father about the absolute pointlessness in talking to...

There was something in the way of memories. Anytime a fragment of a recollection tainted Kotton's memory, a desperate melancholy plagued his mind. There was this one moment in time that occurred ten years ago, a moment that can never be visited again- a melody, caught in a blank slate of...

The dining table was set. Kotton had a plate placed in front of him and another on the floor for Imogen. In addition, he made sure an extra plate had been positioned across the table for the spirit he hoped would come.
Kotton had been caught off guard upon learning what the date...

Kotton enhances his understanding of self care (caregiving) by giving himself a personal spa day with his pet cat (no meditation because you’ve already written a thread about that)- he receives an early gift of love (from a random aunt who seems to have heard so much about him from...
Is this it? Really? Balon asked with a glance around the bar that he and Ulric were drinking in. They were sitting at the bar beside two empty stools which had been occupied by Helena and Elia only a few bits prior. Both women had excused themselves to the restroom while Ulric and...
The man ran straight through the two much smaller individuals, barely even noticing the ferret and not considering Angela at as he barrelled along. A small arm poked out of the sack and a singular word sounded out in very broken common. HELP! The man cursed and...
The candle's first light tiptoed through Angela's fake window inside her room in Chest , casting a warm glow across her small chamber. Today was her 14th birthtrial, a trial she approached with a mix of solemnity and gratitude. It marked not just another year of life but a...
