[Duke 2.0]

 Just got back from a superbowl party. I've already confessed my insecurities in relationships with others here but not with that circle of friends, so when out of the blue when somebody asked me to come to the party it was pretty nice. A lot of people I have not seen in a while reached out to me.

 Still have no idea why Beyonce was preforming in a giant goblet though

[Descan]

My happy is that I got a lock on my bedroom door, finally. >_>

At least three times, as-far-as-I-know, "someone" has gone into my room and, a) stolen my credit card and used it for 30 bucks, and -tried- to use it for another 200 more but it was over the limit and got rejected, b) tried to bust in to my lock-box, and c) gone through my stuff and found my stash. :U

And those are just the ones I know about.

[Darvi]

I would be glad if I had doors.

Do you live in a thieves guild's den or a ninja lair?

[Max White]

Thieves guild don't steal from their own members and if it were ninjas he wouldn't notice any chance.
No, clearly Descan lives on a pirate ship.

[Darvi]

Pirates don't have stashes, they share their smut.

[MrWillsauce]

He probably lives in the meetup place of a kleptomaniac support group.

[Max White]

Pirates don't have stashes, they share their smut.

Exactly why they felt so justified in raiding his collection.
Head canon is now that Descan lives on a very well dressed and manly pirate ship.

[Descan]

Well, okay. Why well-dressed though?

[Heron TSG]

Because that would be much better than a slovenly pirate ship. If one is going to dream, one may as well dream big.

I had an idea for a scifi short story.  A couple, actually.  I'd put them in the writer's apprenticeship thread but no one reads that.  Any insight?  I don't really have specific stories in mind, just the image.

1.  A future interstellar society dominated by a collection of sapient races who were all genetically engineered by a race of precursor aliens.  Humans are the only sapient species to have truly evolved, and as a result are seen as ultraviolent savages by the other aliens.  The Earth is destroyed or uninhabitable, and nomad humans have taken to their new role as brutes, serving as mercenaries to the aliens who, due to their unique upbringings, are both physically and mentally unequipped for combat.  Kind of a subversion of the whole "humans are average" trope.  Maybe a pulp-style story about a human mercenary?

2.  Kind of the same thing, in a few ways.  Society on Earth has collapsed and the planet is a safari zone for wealthy aliens, for whom humans are the most deadly and challenging game to hunt.  They're cunning little bastards, you'd almost think they were intelligent in their own way.  This could go either way, possibly the typical gotcha twist ending where you don't realize humans are the prey until the end, or possibly a story about a human being hunted.  Hmmm...

[Frumple]

The first... I'd almost swear I've seen that before. Possibly more than once.

Fairly sure the second's been done, too, actually (the gotcha' twist specifically rings bells), but variations on a motif are cool, too.

It's been done (kind of). 

[Cthulhu]

Uuuugh!  That's basically exactly what I was thinking in a lot of ways.

FF6 D&D setup stuff. Dividing up magic systems among the possible sources of magical power in the setting. Having an Esper heritage, growing up in Thamasa, and having a Magitek infusion all now have very distinct mechanical feels to them, which pleases me.
