Nice result there.

And as I can see some of your girls do sometimes sneak inside the bag and follow you huh? Just like Erica.

Hope I can see your results of repainting.

Messed up with the blue lining trying to mimic decals, so now I'm going over and painting the off white parts white before continuing. And as anyone who's worked with white paint before knows, white paint is a PAIN IN THE A** color to work with.

Well when I was walking home yesterday from work I found something peculiar going on off the street - odd lights flickering in the corner of a doorway to a church. For some reason I decided here to stick my neck out and investigate and-
Yuliette Crash 1.jpg
Me: WHOA! Yuliette?! You nearly shot me!
Yuliette: My apologies, Master...
Me: What are you doing here? Why're you even laying like this? Lower that gun and let me see you...
Yuliette Crash 2.jpg
Yuliette: We overheard a call from the living room that your employers did not need you tonight... You had already left so I volunteered to try and catch you before you spent too much time out in the cold.
Me: That doesn't explain this... what happened to your wing? Your GN Drive? And lower that gun, okay? Wait...
Yuliette: I was flying when a lot of lights came on from the school over there-
Me: Right, they're holding some kind of game...
Yuliette: And I did not want to be seen so I flew low and clipped a tree, crashing in a yard. I woke a dog who chased me... I could not escape intact.
Me: Christ... you're falling apart too. I didn't think of the cold when I made the mods... damnit. Okay, let me get that off you and get you home. Stay in my coat, it'll be nice and warm.
Yuliette: ...
Me: What?
Yuliette: You are not angry, Master?
Me: ... Maybe I am, but right now that won't do any good. I'm just happy right now that I found you! I could've passed you without realizing it and who knew what would've happened.
Yuliette: ...My apologies, Master.
Me: Look, just focus on getting warm and staying charged and that'll be enough. That, and next time you decide to go out on your own, at least call or hitch a ride in the backpack like the others do.
Yuliette: ...understood.

And one adventure leads to the next (I really gotta find somewhere to dump my pics instead of having a three-per-post limit here). I'm walking out of work today and I get a call from home of all things.

Me: Uh, Mo-
Charlotte: Hey, heads up, we got a Shinki on the loose!
Me: Oh goddamnit, did Yuli-
Yuliette: I am currently in bed right now as per your instructions.
Me: So it's one of the other two?
Natsume: Nuh-uh, not me!
Lynette: No, the Vervietta got here almost right after you left! We told her you'd be coming back around four...
Me: Oh great... that's when I LEAVE! Alright, I'll be looking for her...

And unknown to me, I wouldn't have to search very far...

???: Maaaaaaaaaaasteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer~!
Mariah - Coming to Me.jpg
"Who is that stranger?"
Me: Well... wait, how did you even know who I was or where I was? Oh god, don't tell me you flew over the streets...!
???: Aw it's okay! I'm a plane so no one would tell the difference! Plus you left your computer on! And since no-one else is here right noooow~!
Me: ...Don't transfor-
Mariah - Trying to Impress.jpg
*insert Transformers music here*
???: Owwieeeeee...
Mariah - F for Excecution.jpg
Well, she's not going into gymnastics.
Me: What did I tell you, Mariah? You gotta learn to wait for people, okay?
Mariah: But I've been waiting for someone so lo- Mariah?
Me: Yeah, decided on that name before I even got you - you remind me of a girl I wrote with a similar look. Anyway, let's get home and introduce you...
Mariah: Okay! See you there, Mas-
Me: GODDAMNIT, DON'T FLY OUT IN THE OPEN!

Nice group of Shinki you got there. My favorite photo is of Howling at the waterfall (what can I say, I freaking love waterfalls xD).

Ah Fia, my Howling... that's a sad pic. That was her first and last day outside. After we got home and I started painting her, we found massive cracks going in her leg and body. Try as I might, I just couldn't save her no matter what I did.

She decided that enough was enough and it was okay for me to admit I couldn't do anything. I pondered getting another Howling, but it didn't seem right. The others at the time (Charlotte and Natsume) also decided that it would be in poor taste.

Not sure if this is necro or not but it's been a long time since I've had Shinkis. Not all survived the purging, but a couple did - and apparently, Mariah, my Vervietta decided to go ahead and get herself a new friend without me noticing.

And apparently neither have any intention of letting me put them back into storage. Now I just gotta think of a name for Mariah's wavemate... ^^;;

Pt. 1 of my Shinki revival story

It's been years. Way, way, too long, with way way too much drama. Going to college, juggling work and everything, winding up getting forced out of one place and a lot of my things just thrown out before I had a chance to get them... Stuff's happened. And with it... casualties. Charlotte, Natsume, Fia, Lynette, Yuliette, the Vic Viper sisters, everyone, gone.

Or so I thought.

Cooking in my new place on the portable burner - no dedicated stove - I keep the window open to help any smoke get out and to get a nice cool breeze in when I'm working in the kitchen. I keep my hobby stuff near there too, as airbrushing and fumes need to get out too. So I hear a faint hissing sound when cooking, it ain't my food, and I go to check my compressor to see if I left it on and...
Chloe's Return.jpg
"...Master?"
"You..." I couldn't remember at first - she looked familiar, but I barely remember having a Raptias before the Purge - and that's when I saw those guns. Those black Arvos - with one with the unmistakable orange trim and silver barrel. "Chloe?!"

Chloe, one of the last Shinki I ever got before the move, a Raptias Air Dominance. She was a sprightly, playful girl, and I named her after a friend with a similar personality and aesthetic. Why was she here, and why did she have Yuliette's Arvos? More importantly, she survived the Purge?

"I'm home, Master... And... there's things I need to tell you..."

"That can wait, I need to get you sorted now!"
