Process X85 (A story featuring Roomba)

For Kaoori's Art Trades, featuring Roomba



On Halloween Night, an amazing event was to take place on Earth. An electric storm would surge through the sky, and for the most part it would be relatively harmless and beautiful to see. There would be a few devices across the globe that may be affected by it, such as circuits frying or random malfunctions, but for the most part, this event would come and go with few issues.

Roomba was not at all concerned about such things. He just wanted to get the Forest clean.

"Whirrrrrr....", he sucks in a small pile of debris, then moves to another area and cleans up a spill. He would even find many opened cans of beans, which didn't make sense, but regardless, he disposed of them too.

Roomba was working on cleaning the Playground when the electric storm passed over the Endless Forest. A flash of blue light, a surge of electricity that sizzled and sparkled all over the sky. As it ended, the deer who observed it returned to their normal routines.

Roomba, on the other hand, was motionless, speaking in binary, "01001111 01101000 00100000 01101101 01111001 00100000 01110100 01110111 01101001 01101110 00100000 01100111 01101111 01100100 01110011 00100000 01110111 01101000 01100001 01110100 00100000 01101001 01110011 00100000 01100111 01101111 01101001 01101110 01100111 00100000 01101111 01101110"

And then silence. Roomba restarted, then spoke, "Process X85 initiated."

He immediately dropped everything he was cleaning, and went to the spot known as the 'Deermuda Triangle'. There, he sat, acting odd as if he was attaching to something. "Vrrrrmmm vrrrrrrrrmmmmmmm...", he made odd noises and spun around faster and faster.

Cryptozoology (A story featuring Manako)

Warning, violence and gore near the end of the story

For Scythe's Halloween Trades


She had only stepped outside the Forest for a moment. She needed some time alone, somewhere nobody would find her. She knew the way in and out, there was one spot where one could leave the Endless Forest and step into the world outside.

The problem was that she had gotten lost on her trip outside the Forest.

Manako had walked through dense, unrecognizable trees, thinking she was going the right direction until she managed to step out of the wilderness. She stumbled upon a small farming town, where she saw for miles from the treeline. It was here she spotted something running toward her. It was an odd-looking creature, small with beady-red eyes, and long, sharp fangs. She didn't know what it was as it ran away from the town and past her, the two making visual contact as the strange creature darted into the treeline.

She looked back to the town in time to see a gathering of humans and their barking dogs, standing around what appeared to be a resting farm animal. Whatever that thing was that got past her had apparently caused some havoc in the town, as soon Manako would realize there were others who were laying awkwardly on the ground, a mangled, bloodied mess...dead...

"Look, up there! El Chupacabra!", one of the farmers called, pointing to the trees where the were-doe was watching them. Manako knew it was time to run, they had spotted her and mistook her for the creature that had killed their livestock. She turn and bolted into the trees, keeping her wits about her, keeping her ears open and listening. They had sent the dogs on her, she could hear them approaching. She wasn't running out of fear, she wasn't at all afraid. She just knew she was in the wrong place a the wrong time.

The dogs were clever, and knew these woods better than Manako did.

RIP my rat cupcake

My rat Cupcake had to be put down yesterday. She was very ill and nothing could be done. I'm not sure how i'm feeling about what happened, but I saw how cupcake's health declined sharply this september. My dad was the one who took her to the vet. In a way I'm glad I wasn't home when it happened, but I'm gonna miss the little fuzz-butt dearly. My parents and I had cupcake since June 2011. We never figured out how old she was, or why she was abandoned in a box. Cupcake was small enough to be held in the palm of my dad's hand when she was found, and had started to reach maturity sometime in July 2011. Cupcake always loved to beg for treats and run around on her coffee table. When dad would sit down in his chair with food, cupcake would smell it and focus her head in my dad's direction, hoping for a treat. Cupcake was very well fed during her life time. She loved clovers and would literally snap up any clover flower offered, devouring it in a matter of seconds. Cupcake brought loads of joy into my household, and will be missed dearly.

When Big V comes to town...

Rember your manners little and large
Dont sit on top
Or try to barge
Be polite
Give a bow
listen out for his howl
Some of us will sit for you
In a circleish shape
For you to take spells needed.
But dont get to greedy.
help all and the needy

with this we will all do fine, we will get what we want, and dance all night long singing about the big v's in town.
