    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    As Odette geared up to respond, the bartender on duty set a tray of her five cocktails in front of her. She stared at them hungrily, holding up a thumb as she picked one up and began to sip at it. “No,” she said along with Wes, straw still in her mouth. “I just got off a set and was gonna head...

    Frontier Town Sun Stone Saloon

    For a moment, she briefly considered and excusing herself back to her room. That was the cool part about living here, she could just do that. No awkwardly leaving to walk out the front door; she could just say “Hey, I need to go make my rounds upstairs,” and just go lock herself in her room...

    Odette could practically see whatever remnants of confidence Archie had drain out of his face. She’d thought her explanation was logical and reassuring enough but he looked more distraught than he had before he walked over here. She felt her frustration starting to brew again, and she enclosed a...

    Odette listened to Archie go on about Alex. It was the same thing Koa had told her, except tinged with far more martyrdom that left her running her hand down her face. “Okay, I’m gonna say this again,” she said. Archie clearly was not speaking to her, and she didn’t care. She waved nonetheless...

    Odette knit her brows at Wes, frowning at just how curt he’d sounded. But, she released the tension in her forehead after he took his breath. She supposed she knew that’s what he’d come to her for, but truthfully, she didn’t need the apology. She’d been more concerned about him than herself in...

    “Yeah well,” she said in a jagged chuckle, “I think I’ll take the rock throwing over this. If I tear my vocal cords coughing, I’m out of a job.” She was still rubbing her throat, but she stopped for a moment to think on what she just said. Wait. They were joking about that already? It seemed...

    Frontier Town Sun Stone Saloon

    The bartender on duty seemed to know she was coming, because her usual was ready before she even settled in her seat. She raised it in thanks before she began to sip away at it. She took a moment to actually enjoy the alcohol running down her throat, enjoy the fact that everyone was too busy...

    Threadmarks: Ch04: Dancing in the Sun Stone Light [Odette, Wes, and Archie]

    "Merci et bonsoir," Odette said through the thundering applause that was sent her way. As per usual, some drunks in the front jeered at and heckled her through it, but she'd made a show of mocking them back, which only earned her more applause. See, people loved watching hecklers get their asses...

    Pursing her lips, Odette surveyed the area. With a nod, she slapped her thighs and pushed herself up to stand. “Yeah. I could stand to wail on some metal and boulders right now. And since I’m here, let’s have a talk about your foot placement real quick…” <><><><><><><>

    Well, it wasn’t a stunned silence. Rather an attempt at empathizing. One she wasn’t expecting at all. She cut her gaze back to him for a moment, trying to parse what he’d just said. “Entei…” she muttered. She didn’t know much about the dog trio, but she supposed that didn’t matter. One of them...

    Frontier Town Industrial Park

    Odette flinched involuntarily at his call-out, watching silently with her dumbstruck expression as he struggled to backpedal and apologize for how curt he’d sounded. She stared at him for a long while before a stunned grin flicked the corners of her lips upward. She snickered, which soon grew...

    Odette supposed she didn’t blame Koa for not touching Shadow again. In general, it was…a lot. Probably even more for someone his age. Probably even more after what had happened with fucking Alex. But, she’d have rather left him dwelling on that instead. Maybe turned it into another round of...

    Good, he was smiling. Progress was progress. Odette pursed her lips and averted her eyes away, exhaling through her nose as she did. “Yes,” she said. “Here and there. I hate that fucker, but…Alex had the right idea about channeling his Shadow to his second head.” She nodded over her shoulder...

    Odette rolled her eyes around as she bobbed her head back and forth. "I don't know, those seem like pretty good starts to me," she said. "Not everything is going to have a solution that's so black and white. Sometimes you just need starting points, and those feel like good starting points." She...

    She could tell this was hard for him. She tried to remember the first time her therapist had recommended this exercise to her. She couldn’t have been older than 7. She vividly remembered how hard it had been for her to explain her most recent anger spell. How she’d gotten so frustrated that she...

    I suppose it depends on if he means that literally or figuratively, she thought with a nod. Or the situation. His attempt sounded promising…until that last part. Clenching her teeth into a loose grimace, she kneeled down so she was at eye level with him. “That’s…a good start. But let’s reframe...

    She raised her hands as if admitting defeat. “Look, I hear you. But as I figured out with all things therapy, a lot of it sounds stupid and impossible until you actually take a crack at it. Learned that the excruciatingly hard way.” Still am, she thought doubtfully. “But, in short, yes. The...

    She smiled warmly at him, and took his agreement as invitation to fully approach him. She stood at his side, still keeping a comfortable distance away before letting her hands fall to her sides. “I know it’s gonna sound stupid, because it sounded stupid to me when my therapist taught it to me,”...

    Again, she nodded in understanding. "Mm, okay. I see," she said, pushing herself up to stand and walking over to him. When she was close enough, she gestured to him. "Can I level with you? I'm a recovering anger management patient; I know a thing or two about settling your head over shit like...

    She nodded along with him, letting him talk without interruption. Maybe it was helping to get some of that steam out. "Yeah," she said. "It really does suck when it feels like you're making progress with something, and it all goes to shit. I get it." She hadn't been on board with trying to tame...
