《The Software Detective》1.11 Guess it's not their specialty

When I finally reached the café, I saw Syd walking from the opposite direction. "Are you ready to have your mind blown away with a cinnamon roll so delicious Mother Nature couldn't stop herself from eating the rolls so she made it harder to harvest so she can stick to her diet? That's why we harvest cinnamon in the heavy rain." I said, opening the door for her to walk in.
"I doubt that's the reason for why we harvest cinnamon after heavy rain." she laughed, walking in.
Before we made it to the front counter to see if magical rolls were here, we noticed one of our other friends was sitting at a table studying. "Hey there Rob, are you studying for tomorrow's physics exam?" I said as we walked towards him.
Lifting his head out of the open textbook, "Oh! hey guys, wait, are you studying here too?" he said.
"Eventually, but right now, we're here to get Tom's cinnamon roll," Syd said.
"Well, I don't know if it's here. Someone told me it might be here, so I'm going to check if he's a reliable source." I said.
"Oh, I'm here often. Describe me the doughnut and I can let you know if they have it here," Rob said, leaning back in his chair.
I could feel the drool beginning to creep out of my mouth. "It is divine, truly the perfect circular pastry. When you bite in the flakey bun, your taste buds explode with the overwhelming mixture of cinnamon and peanut butter. Some people simply call it a Cinnamon roll with peanut butter on top, but I call it, heaven's gift to humanity." I said, wiping the drool off my mouth again.
"They definitely don't have that here. I love this place for their coffee, but the food is awful. They somehow messed up a plain bagel. Maybe you should try Penultimate Café. They have tons of good food." Rob took a sip of his coffee and continued. "By the way, do you guys know any good thrift shops around here? I need to buy a new couch."

"Oh yeah, I know a great place that's not too far from here. Me and Rob will go get the couch. And Tom, you can get us some cinnamon rolls. After that we can all study for the exam." Syd said.
"I think you just want two people to help you study Syd." Rob laughed, packing his things and pushing in his chair.
"You're right. Two teachers are better than one." Syd said, smiling from ear to ear.

The world of Vanaris is a place ripe with kingdoms and empires with different outlooks. Some fighting for dominance, some for peace and some even for the sake of war. However, the empire of Aveilorn stands above all. Ruled by mages and the common folk no more than slaves. A village of the descendants of several Feycrowned has long since turned into a global powerhouse, conquering all those that stand before them and oppressing those that give in. Their newest target is the kingdom of Bleuria, with a dormant mine of mithril that common folk are unable to extract. The path of battle is one the denizens of Aveilorn tread, annihilating all but the submissive. However, would that be so simple with several Feycrowned appearing out of nowhere in particular?

Mary Susan Oceanrunner and the Brutus Saint's Academy
Join Mary Susan Oceanrunner on her quest to do... erm... something really important for the world... probably... Ahem. Long gone are the days when every hero could do whatever they wanted - now, we are civilised. We have government. Law. And proper forms. Lots of proper forms. (Final episode 25/07/2022. Also - beta readers far into the book rate the 'gore' degree as below 2/10, so the warning is a bit much) Mary Susan Oceanrunner is a poor girl from the orphanage, who like many others before, has to fulfil her destiny. The prophecy had been told, and she is the only one who can make things right. Erm... probably. Anyway, she can't just go and kill monsters like in the middle ages. First, she must apply for the appropriate permissions, fill the forms, learn about the proper loot taxations... Hey, no one said adventuring would be easy, right? Disclaimers: No claim made by any character by the book should be treated as the author's or anyone else's opinion on any subject. Most likely, it was just the funniest thing the Author could think of at the time of writing. This book contains many references to other works. It will probably be best enjoyed by individuals familiar with at least some of the following: 1) Computer games2) Fantasy in general3) Science fiction4) Tabletop RPGs5) Conspiracy theories6) Corporation work life7) Long forgotten prophecies uttered millennia ago in almost as forgotten languages under a starless night three dusks before the great convergence8) Filling any government-mandated form9) School10) EnglishMy ultimate goal is to make as many people experience something akin to joy while reading (think ~a bit louder exhale through the nose). It doesn't mean every scene will be funny or joyful because that's not how this stuff works. I can neither confirm nor deny having any other hidden agenda outside of that.
