The Window to Virtue
The outside world was unknown to her, but she could see a glimpse of it through the window in his room. His room contained the only window in the facility, as his position at VIRTU required it. This was fortunate for Alaska, as her room was oriented in such a way that allowed for discreet surveillance. Due to her status, much of what she could see in the window was pixelated and blurry, though an abstract mosiac pattern of blue, green and magenta would sometimes emerge.

Hello Again
“My vision was blurry. The lights above and around carried their tails to one end to the other. Back and forth just like the chatter amongst voices I could not recognize. It was quite haunting in thought, but I felt warm. The warmth was unexplainable, not the depths of my body but in my spirit. My body felt numb and too stiff to move and when I did, these numb hands would caress and pin me down. I flared around further fear but did so with a smile, I think. I felt closer to home. I laid there fighting the beating of the drum. One after another. It got louder and perhaps more sinister, but the feeling of vibration kept the same. Ringing in my ears became louder with the drums. My eyes heavy but distinct voices became audible at this point, telling me to stay awake. I was afraid to go to sleep, but sleep was what I needed. I’ve had sleep paralysis before, so I didn’t think this was any different. The vibrational feeling became very loud and felt it in the warmth of my body to a point I was going to explode. My eyes then blinked slowly till they closed shut.

The Devil's Salvation
The seven day trek across the Yoru desert took eight days. It could’ve been that the flood of figures connected by an expansive black covering were lost for the majority of the journey, or because they hid inside their mobile fort to play games at the slightest hint of an approaching storm. Either way, this was quite a surprise to everyone involved and they made no effort to hide their displeasure.

The Magnetic Stones, Chapter Three
As the Mini-Flashes filed out of the classroom, Miss Jade caught up with Mini-Flash Moon and said to walk with her. So Mini-Flash Moon did, making polite replies to the small talk until she and Miss Jade had put school premises beneath them and climbed the graven steps that zig-zagged to the cusp of the crater.

The Magnetic Stones, Chapter Two
Miss Jade’s bodice and camis and heels, vivid green against the white of her skin, were some days the only blaze of bold colour the Mini-Flashes saw in their limited-palette world. Older than them, but young, she wore her fawn tresses in one sumptuous fall. Sometimes too she was the sharpest pang of provocation the first gender felt in a day.
