TF2: The Secret Spy Chapter ThirteenI followed Klaus as he walked calmly down the now empty corridor. I heard his long powder blue coat rustling lightly with each of his long strides. I was struggling to keep up with his steps but he seemed to realized this and stopped every so often for me to catch up.TF2: The Secret Spy Chapter Thirteen in Personal More Like This
"Klaus, what do you know?" I asked the doctor, as I followed him through the maze of corridors. "Yeah what do you know?" Marc asked, him and his brother trailing only a few steps behind me. Klaus held a finger to his lips.
"Be patient, jungen" was all he said.
We walk for only a minute more before we stood outside the pale blue doors of the medical bay. Klaus pulled open the door and gestured for us to hurry inside. Once we were inside, the Medic locked the infirmary doors. "So we won't be disturbed." He explained as he saw me staring at the brass key in his palm.
I relaxed, settling myself beside Adrien on one of beds that lined one side of the room. Marc stood by one of the many medical cabinets, eyeing up the bottles o
TF2: The Secret Spy Chapter Eleven"Mmmh, it looks a little too tight, I'm going to loosen it up, ok?" asked Marc as his hand came to rest lightly on my bandages, waiting for my reply. I nodded as best I could and then he began to unravel the bandages. All I could really do whilst he was doing this was stare up at the ceiling. Taking in the odd crack here and there.TF2: The Secret Spy Chapter Eleven in Personal More Like This
I felt each silky stroke of the bandages as they slowly slipped away from their embrace around my neck,basking my now revealed and agitated cut to the cool air. Soothing the itching heat. Like when you put sunscreen on a burn.
I heard both Adrien and Marc gasp quietly as they saw the hideous puckered line that now decorated my throat. "That looks...painful..."breathed Adrien and I heard Marc hum in agreement as he began to rewrap the bandages hiding the cut once more. I sat there feeling him coil the smooth fabric back with a gentle hand.
Then I felt another hand lightly pick up the smooth-faced tooth that still hung from the base of my neck. "Nat...this is

I felt as light as air, my body tingling and my vision consumed by darkness before I fell back into the respawn room.

I allowed a weak, feeble gasp to escape my lips as I stared at the sleek white tiled floor. I could still feel the ghost of the RED Spy's blade against my throat and his painful finger's on my hip. How did he know?! I cringed remembering the way he toyed with me. Cooing at me in his sickly French accent. Letting his hand roam my hip. His hot breath on my...
Suddenly I felt a hand come to rest on my shoulder. I flinched away turning sharply to see Dell crouched down beside me, a look of concern plain on the older man's face. "Hey there pardner, respawn mess with your head some?" he asked in his soothing southern twang. I gave him a we
TF2: The Secret Spy Chapter NineThe rest of the week went by quickly. I remained masked throughout this time whereas Adrien and Marc continued to enjoy being somewhat less elusive. I haven't seen Ethan since my 'disappearance' , not even when we all packed up to leave the hotel earlier today.TF2: The Secret Spy Chapter Nine in Personal More Like This
Once we arrived back at our base, I returned to my room promptly claiming to be exhausted from the long journey. Entering my room I swiftly locked the door before I tore off my mask, flinging it onto the table far away from me. Raking my fingers through my hair was when I noticed it. The smell of sweet cigarette smoke.
Without a second thought I reached casually into my pocket letting my fingers graze the smooth handle of my Ambassador. "I know you in here Spy..." I growled, my eyes flickering across the room searching for a single in-perfection in the Spy's cloaking. A single thing out of place to betray his position.
Nothing.
I gave a deflating sigh as I retrieved my mask, once again placing it over my face. Tearing opening my
TF2: The Secret Spy Chapter EightI woke up to the sound of Ethan snoring. His breath tickling my ear and I felt the heavy feeling of his arm wrapped around my waist. I sighed and carefully tried to pry my waist from Ethan's embrace. Once I finally got free I glanced at the neon red digits on the clock that sat on the bedside table. I groaned quietly in frustration.TF2: The Secret Spy Chapter Eight in Personal More Like This

You would think that on my week off my body would let me sleep in. Careful not to wake Ethan, I tip toed my way into the bathroom, tugging on the shirt he had given me. Once inside I looked in the mirror and tried to tame the tangled mess that was my hair. As I was running my fingers through my hair, I noticed Ethan's necklace hanging around my neck.
It was a pale crocodile fang hanging on a worn piece of black string. I smiled as I stoked the smooth face of the tooth. Ethan had given it to me just before we went to bed. He told me it was the fang of the first crocodile he ever hunted alone and he used to wear it as a little reminder of home.
While he
TF2: The Secret Spy Chapter TwelveI struggled, trying with desperation to tear myself free from the bounds on my wrists. I shouted out through the hand covering my mouth, wriggling in an attempt to shake his hand from me. The RED Spy only pushed down harder with his hand in an attempt to cover up my muffled yells.TF2: The Secret Spy Chapter Twelve in Personal More Like This
One finger was placed over his lips, a taunting smirk present as he attempted to hush me up. "Hello? Nat?" called out Ethan giving the door another thump. I cried out again, hoping desperately that he would hear something. He showed no sign of acknowledgement. I looked around thinking of a way to get the Spy to let me go.
That's when I saw that the Spy was still straddling me, my legs free. So I shot my knee up in one swift movement and felt it collide with something soft. The Spy gave out a cry of pain and released my mouth to cradle his now tender groin. I took my chance.
"Help! RED Spy!" I yelled as loud as I could, still trying to free myself from my binds. I heard the door being hit again, this time hard

Ouch. I really hadn't expected to pull Nat over. The outcome of this I wasn't expecting either.
I had Nat straddling me, our bodies touching through the thin fabric of our shirts and our faces inches apart. Nat's eyes... God. This close they were even more startling. Her deep azule eyes were not as dark as he had once thought. They were still a shade of inky blue but the darkness was scattered with freckles of pale blue and silver.
I watched as these bright eyes darted across my face, taking in our close proximity. Her rosy lips parting and a dark blush flooding her cheeks. Her being so close to me, wearing my shirt and looking at me with such beautiful eyes, I couldn't stop myself.
I let one of my hands run up the side of her face tangling in her wet hair, the other travel to rest on her waist. I pulled her down trapping her lips to mine. I felt Nat freeze for a moment before she kissed me back, her hands gripping the fabric of the couch beneath us as we kissed quicker. My
TF2: The Secret Spy Chapter Four"Looks like it's going to be a good day" Marc said as we parked the car in the hotel's lot. I exited the car taking in the beautiful vibrant blue of the sky. Not a cloud in sight. "I could get used to this" I smiled stretching as I made my way to the trunk popping it open. Adrien bounding out the back to help me with the luggage. "Now you have to wear a dress!" he mused practically skipping.TF2: The Secret Spy Chapter Four in Personal More Like This
"Shhhh!" I snapped quickly peering around to see anyone who may have heard. The parking lot was empty. "Sorry Ade just...just be careful yeah?" I sighed smiling weakly as I grabbed my case. Adrien beamed at me. "Will do!" he replied cheerfully before rushing towards the hotel gesturing me to follow.

My room was on the fourth floor of the hotel. Adrien and Marc were a few doors down from me. Which was relief as it would be weird not having them close by me. My room was quite nice. It was painted a faint shade of lilac with furniture and decoration matching it in shades of Mauve, Silver and Maro

"Come on Ash, your taking forever!" I called leaning against my trusty little van. It was only 8 in the morning but the sun was already lightning the sky in pale shades of pink and blue. Today was the day we all left for a well deserved week off. I was looking forward to it. Not completely but I still was.
I only arrived from my hometown in Australia 2 weeks ago. Having heard about a job going as a Sniper with Builders League United, I jumped on the first plan over and applied. I got the job as soon as my interview was over. They handed me my train ticket and required uniform before leaving me to my own devices.
Finding the train was easier than I expected, the journey was rather pleasant due to the company of Nat. Nat was one of the Spies that I worked with. From the 3 hour journey to our base. Me and Nat discussed our home towns. Nat was much more vague about his past. All I can remember getting out of him was that he was from England and enjoyed reading.

The Soldier was grumbling excessively about our loss and Adrien muttered words in French, each one muffled by the smouldering cigarette at his lips.The Secret Spy Chapter Seventeen in Personal More Like This
It had been a rough and weary battle; the RED Sniper had been making it hard for me to get a shot in. And judging by what words I could make out of the Soldier's grumbling, he had also had some trouble with my counterpart.
"LADIES THAT WAS PATHETIC!" bellowed the Soldier suddenly, causing me along with the rest of the team to jump at our Soldier's outburst. "SPY! YOU SHOULD HAVE DISARMED THAT SNIPER AS SOON AS THE MATCH BEGAN!" he continued to roar at Adrien, who continued to take leisurely drags from his cigarette.
"Well, I'd like to see you do better, mon ami. He had that foul fire creature constantly spy checking - what did you expect?" came Adrien's bored reply, as he exhaled a wispy plume of grey smoke.

The chaptered comic strip, has been collected into a 100-page graphic novel – and to the still-uninitiated:
It is not quite like anything you’ve probably ever seen before. The story follows “Zee Captain” and his sidekicks as they amble through a post-apocalyptic landscape. And while that hardly seems new and different, it’s the unusually superlative graphic quality of the comic cells and the Monty Pythonesque dialogues and leaps of logic that can become quite mesmerizing. Zee Captain, his face hidden by a gas mask that gives him a Darth Vaderish look, wears what looks like a Soviet Red Army uniform from WWII, and the strip does have nourish WWII feel. It’s as if the nuclear holocaust on Hiroshima and Nagasaki had never ended and spread to every major city on Eart

The recently announced changes to the core mythos of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and the backlash
from fans over the ending to Mass Effect 3 have ignited an incredible discussion about the rapidly evolving
“collaborative” relationship between producers and consumers of videogames, movies, and similar “products.”
Now it’s exploded beyond the secure borders of top news publications, gaming and entertainment websites.
Looks like this long-bubbling cauldron of traditional ways and means, modern tech, web economics, core beliefs
and future shock has finally boiled over...

Humans Becoming Robots, Robots Becoming HumanOn March 1, 2012 the Nevada DMV issued the first license for a “Google Driverless Car.” The idea behind this innovation is that one day soon new technology will drive cars safer and more skillfully than humans, thus saving lives and billions of dollars in car crashes. How well this idea catches on is a bit questionable, given the powerful “romance” of driving one’s car, but it’s certainly an indicator of things to come in the daily intersection of human and artificial intelligence and mobility. There have always been those who have dreamed of stepping into a mechanical exo-skeletal-type “suit” and letting the engineering do the work, instantly increasing limited human speed, strength, endurance and accuracy.Humans Becoming Robots, Robots Becoming Human in deviantART Blog More Like This

Artists have always feared that they are unappreciated and that the march of progress comes only from business, science and their machines. 1984 was imagined by an artist projecting these exact fears. Our guest essayist suggests the computer will never be our master, but only the super high speed counting machine it was meant to be leaving humans with only one pure task— being creative.

t seems there’s nothing quite as dear to the hearts of many of our deviants as their production of fan art, and at the same time, there is nothing so knotted with legal and ethical headaches. Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, but in the form of fan art it has also become one of the most frustratingly complicated. At some point, the sheer volume of fan art around a single property may become so large that the issue rises to another level of scrutiny by the creators of the original work.
With this dynamic in mind, we thought the following panel that Josh Wattles, our Advisor In Chief here at deviantART, and a mystery guest named Harold Smith, gave at Comic Con this year might be of immense help in understanding the ever evolving elements of fan art

But the characters that are quite popular but not made by SEGA (a.k.a Sally Acorn and Scourge the Hedgehog) are upset because there weren't invited or nominated so they try to find a way in to crash the party.

There are many schools of thought when it comes to casting spells; some use incense, oils, or brews, some use words alone, some use stones and crystals for focusing, some do full rituals for their spells. However you do it, there are certain things that must always be considered.
1. Intention
You must always consider why you are casting the spell you have created or written. Is your intention to help someone? Is your motive a selfish one? Are you seeking revenge? What is the energy behind your motivation for the spell? Is it positive or negative? What you put into the spell will not only affect the "target" of your spell, but will also come back upon you as well. Remember the Three Fold Law? It keeps people honest with themselves and the powers around them.

I have been poking at various Pagan and Wiccan books over the years that I am guided to pick up and read (one's Spirit Guides and Spiritual Instincts can be so helpful in this capacity) and in reading them, I take serious consideration of the words written in them and do much meditation and conference with my Spirit Guides, as well as cross referencing to find the truth, or rather what feels right and true. However, as I was reading one book I picked up recently, I found an odd term that I thought I would research, wondering at the meaning and use of it. That is when I found out about a very disturbing trend among the Pagan community - Hate Mongering against other Pagans for their views on Paganism and especially Wiccanism.

And I'd like to thank :iconalphalunatic: for this: http://dkalban.deviantart.com/art/New-Hero-In-Gotham-Watching-the-Noobie-340629308 It's awesome!
Also, I'm taking some Christmas present requests. I can do stories for you guys for Christmas/Hannukah/Yule/etc; just let me know!
Moving right along...Getting there! Since the newest two request sketches involved two very cool creatures, Halloween seemed the perfect time to get them posted. C'mon, a fourteen-legged wolf beast and a beautifully freaky undead dragon? You guys are spoiling me.Moving right along... in Personal More Like This
Oh, and how cool is this? As a thank you for her request, ~eve-hawk wrote a story based on one of my pieces! The art is my interpretation of the darkspawn first approaching the Archdemon from Dragon Age... you can see the image here. The story she wrote takes it several steps further, delving into an alternate-universe reality from the point of view of the dragon itself. It can be found here. Whether you're a Dragon Age fan or not, it stands alone as a very cool story.
If anyone happens to be in the vicinity, my husband and I shall be found touting our wares at the Tucson Comic Con this weekend (Nov. 3-4
