    Summary

    The past is where Tango resides. Tries to reside. Tries to stay. He likes the familiarity.

    The past haunts him everywhere he goes. It lurks in the shadows and in the sun, always everywhere, always reminding him of its existence. It’s sewn into the fibers of his clothes and burned into his skin, stuck to him in the scars that litter his body. He can’t escape the past. He doesn’t want to. He wraps the past around him like a blanket as if it can keep him safe.

    ----------
    Or: I hit Tango with the depression bomb and then threw his boyfriends at him.

    Summary

    Scott slipped back below the water, continuing his circles and starting to weave between their legs. The next time he popped up it was Tango who caught him in his arms, holding the wriggling siren out the water as he glanced down at him with red eyes.

    “You need to use your words, Sweetheart,” he said.

    “I- words, right,” Scott murmured, his head resting on Tango's shoulder as some of the tension drained out of him already. “I feel like I'm going to burst. Everything inside of me is too much. Please help me turn my brain off.” He turned watery eyes on Tango, and Martyn had to marvel at the blaze’s self restraint.

    “Help you how?” Tango asked, gazing right back.

    Summary

    With a server filled with so many different kinds of hybrids, everyone knew that misunderstandings were going to occur. What was seen as polite in one culture screamed hostility in another, what was seen as rude to some of them was basically a marriage proposal to others. It had been a problem at first, their very definitions of words had been different between species, and they had taken quite a long time to figure that out and clear it up. But they had figured it out, and they'd had many long and confusing conversations to try and make sure that they were all on the same page.

    They all knew to try not to jump to conclusions when it came to things that were only implied instinctively and not explicitly, and over the years they'd been friends they'd all got quite good at asking for clarification when they were confused.

    They'd got so good in fact, that they'd started reaching the point where they stopped having problems. It helped, of course, that they'd done some research into each other's species and the cultures that surrounded them, so they were actually quite good at understanding each other by this point.

    Still, even after all that time, it was something as simple as a feather that stumped Scott.

    Summary

    Welcome to Hidden Life.

    In this brand new Life Series, all 18 participants start with a random amount of lives. However, they have no idea how many lives they start with, and it continues that way until they turn red. Just like in previous series, once they turn red, they become hostile, and must try to kill all the other players. And if they die while on red, they are out of the series.

    This season also brings back the boogeyman, meaning that every day, one to three people are chosen at random to gain the objective of killing someone before the day ends, or they will be automatically set to their last life. Also, a new role has been added: The Angel. Only one person can be the angel per session, and they gain the power of gifting a life to someone else.

    Summary

    Doc and Cleo weren't compatible under normal circumstances. They liked each other plenty, they got along even better, but with so many other Hermits on the server, they simply weren't each other's first picks as partners. They both liked to be in control. They were parallel lines that couldn't intersect.

    Under normal circumstances.

    But if you go out to the edge of infinity, even parallel lines will touch and even Doc and Cleo can, under enough strain, end up spending the night together.

    Doc had jokingly started to refer to these incidents as "emergencies" and it had stuck. It was all too fun to say in front of others without letting them in on the secret. They just had plans to resolve an emergency that night, they’d say.

    OR: Cleo is upset and Doc is a good friend. So he dunks her in powdered snow until she can't afford to care.
