Only the tips of some of the tallest buildings are visible from where Kasumi stands on Shido’s ship. Akira had warned her about this, but it’s still off-putting. The rest of Tokyo was still normal in the previous two Palaces she’d seen.

Kasumi doesn’t want to think about what that means about the ruler.

“Are you ready to go?” Akec- er Crow asks, tapping a boot against the deck of the ship.

“Sorry!” Kasumi says.

PSA

Just a heads up, there are bots going around on AO3 accusing people of using AI. Considering the timing, this is likely AI bros' retaliation for AO3 users calling them out for scraping their work. Examples of what you might be sent:

Every writing advice ever: If you’re having trouble with a scene, skip it and write a different part of the story.

Me: If I don’t write in chronological order, I will die

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: The Caligula Effect (Video Game) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: Major Character Death Relationships: Amamoto Ayana/Protagonist (The Caligula Effect 1) Characters: Amamoto Ayana, The Caligula Effect Protagonist Additional Tags: Bad Ending Summary:

“I… I loved you!”

“I love you too, Ayana. That’s why I can’t let you leave.”

⇆ any of your older ranger OCs in Desire! (Or how they react to Dru in general lol)

Just to be clear, I have an entire AU idea where Ash stayed in Sky’s life and beat Dru with a steel chair. I think about this all the time.

Sky has intentionally not told any of them about him— mostly because Addi will track him down and kill him while making it look like an accident.

So hypothetically if they were swapped into Desire…

Sage would be more focused on Sky himself— dragging him out of there and making sure he doesn’t die

Jamie’s coming up with a huge plan and probably synthesizing the antidote in the back of Bridge’s trailer

Addi is surprisingly calm. It is because she has already figured out how to kill Dru while making it look like an accident on the drive there.

Ash is obviously pissed and wants to beat Dru to death with a steel chair, but as the closest thing to a parental figure Sky has at the moment she’s trying her fucking best to make sure he’s okay and drag him away to Kat and get him fixed up.

Bonus: If Schuyler was there… oh, boy. As the child of an abusive relationship, he’s gotta sit there and go like “Ah, fuck, my son is making the same mistakes my mom and Lina did.” Like he’s going to feel guilty that he didn’t teach Sky the warning signs well enough and then cry into a pillow for two hours and then apologize non-stop for failing Sky (Sky: Dad, what???)

put a "∞" in my ask box and I'll shuffle my music player and give you my favorite lyric from the song that comes up.

You know guys there’s really no need to publicly shame fanfic writers in a forum they can see and mention them by name.

What they don't tell you about writing is that as you write, you discover scenes and entire plots that you hadn't accounted for that need to be written. So you can spend two hours writing and editing only to realise you're further away from the finish line than you thought you were when you started
