Prompts
Ink & Exhausts
Fame isn't always what it's cracked up to be, especially in a world where people have lost all sense of boundaries. Calla Ford found her fame after a lifetime of abuse and neglect, pouring her pain into her art. Shortly after she turned 18, she entered in local and national tattooing competitions, rising to the title of "Ink Master" just shy of her 25th birthday. Notorious for shutting paparazzi down and declining tattoos to people who felt the need to invade her personal life, she's now (mostly) treated like a normal person once again. Owner of Black Rose Tattoo & Piercings, she makes a steady living, but something else is missing from her life.

Paul's Super Fun, Multi-part Unofficial Challenge
So, I'm really dragging my heels with completing prizes for the winners of my last challenge. But, please be patient because I am not Rembrandt, Huizenga, Carravagio, Munch or Bosch. I'm not even Andy Warhol. But I am an arsehole.

The Sovereign Current
There is a profound difference between a room that is locked and a sky that is simply too vast to measure. For a long time, the game was played on a very small board, defined by the heavy, predictable rules of localized gravity and careful, measured distances. But some currents cannot be contained by blueprints, and some energies refuse to be sorted by a laboratory filter. When the climate changes completely, it doesn't happen with a subtle shift in barometric pressure; it happens because the central axis has completely moved. The world doesn't rotate around an immovable anchor in an empty room; it follows the light that refuses to stay still.

The Man At The Bank
So this stayed with me. I nearly didn't enter because I'm a big, tough, hard fucker from Glesga, pal. Who you fucking talking to? I mean, anyone who knows me knows I'm not like that. Grumpy, angry, yes, but I'm the first to avoid confrontation that could get violent. Anyway.
