Aphmau's P.O.V
"Its for you Aph!" my blue haired friend yelled after answering the door. I walk over to the door to see a seriously hurt red headed girl wearing a silver paper crown. "Shelby?" I say in a concerned voice whilst she smiles weakly at me. "You did it again didn't you?" Ross says rushing over to the door. She slightly nods. "YOU IDIOT I TOLD YOU NOT TO!" Max says running over to. "But you do it..." She says in a high pitched whisper. "But I don't almost kill myself when I do!" Max says in a hushed shout. "It's not as bad as last time, but you do need to rest," Sky says when he calmly walks over to the door with Barney. "But did you hurt them?" Barney asked.She nods again. "I was trying the neutral run," She says quietly. "Papyrus got you good," I say. "We have to go sorry to cut this short!" Sky says ushering everyone out. I wave at them as they leave. Then I felt the stares of my friends burn through me. I have a lot of explaining to do.
"I don't trust them Aph!" a clearly angry Aaron says to me. I shrug as I walk pass him. He then grabs my wrist and turns me around. "What was that Max guy talking about when he called her an idiot?" He asked. I could feel everyone's gaze fall on me. "She did something she shouldn't have." I say with another shrug, but I continue "And I trust all of them with my heart, soul and life, I could jump out of a plane and know one of them will catch me with their bear hands and leave me unharmed!" I say. Then I hear a light knock on the door, and I get it. "I couldn't leave you hear all by yourself to explain everything now could I?" A smirking Jin says. I smile invitingly as he walks in. "I realise that I did not introduce myself properly, My name is Jin and I am basically Aph's brother and I work with technology and stuff like that," He says to all my friends. "And my friend Shelby was wondering places no one should be and in a result she got hurt and that's why Max called her an idiot she was lucky this time she could have got killed," He says. "Hey Jin do you want to stay tonight we have a guest room upstairs!" I say quickly changing the touchy subject. He nods in delight and we walk upstairs.

Aaron's P.O.V
Aph and her 'brother' go upstairs to the spare room leaving us all downstairs highly confused. An awkward silence rang out between us when Garroth finally broke it. "Well would you look at the time I think we best be going!" he said. They all rushed outside leaving me alone. I go outside and climb the tree in our backyard giving me a perfect view of the guest room. They were sitting on the bed together and were talking. When Aph pulled out a lilac box from under the bed. I have never seen that in my life. She takes out a drawing that look like that it was drawn by a four year old that said 'I LOVE YOU' in sloppy writing. She then took out a photo of her with Jin and another pregnant girl. A little tear rolls down her cheek. Jin hugs her and kisses Aph on the forehead. He then gets up and walks over to the guitar and sits on a stool. Aph walks over to the keyboard and starts playing. I discreetly open the window so I could hear Aph sing for the first time.
(Play song)
Jin: Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don't belong
And no one understands you
Aph: Do you ever want to run away?
Do you lock yourself in your room?
With the radio on turned up so loud
That no one hears you screaming
Jin: No you don't know what its like
When nothing feels alright
Aph: You don't know what its like to be like me
Jin: To be hurt,
Aph: to feel lost
Jin: To be left out in the dark
Aph: To be kicked when you're down
Jin: To feel like you've been pushed around

Both: To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one there to save you
No you don't know what its like
Welcome to my life
Jin: Do you want to be somebody else?
Are you sick of feeling so left out?
Are you desperate to find something more
Before your life is over
Aph: Are you stuck inside a world you hate?
Are you sick of everyone around?
With the big fake smiles and stupid lies
But deep inside you're bleeding
Jin: No you don't know what its like
When nothing feels alright
Aph: You don't know what its like to be like me
Jin: To be hurt,
Aph: to feel lost
Jin: To be left out in the dark
Aph: To be kicked when you're down
Jin: To feel like you've been pushed around
Both: To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one there to save you
No you don't know what its like
Welcome to my life
Aph: No one ever lied straight to your face
And no one ever stabbed you in the back
You might think I'm happy
But I'm not gonna be okay
Jin:Everybody always gave you what you wanted
You never had to work it was always there
Both: You don't know what its like
What its like
Jin: No you don't know what its like
When nothing feels alright
Aph: You don't know what its like to be like me
Jin: To be hurt,
Aph: to feel lost
Jin: To be left out in the dark
Aph: To be kicked when you're down
Jin: To feel like you've been pushed around
Both: To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one there to save you
No you don't know what its like
What it's like
Both: To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what its like
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life
"That song is more true then you know," Jin says to Aphmau with sorrow. "Trust me, I do," She says walking over to the door. Jin lays down on the bed and says "Night Jess," "Night Jin Bop," she says and walks out. I scramble down the tree and swiftly sit down on the sofa. Who's Jess?

Killing Roar: Part 2: Mortal Mewling
Part 2 - Mortal Mewling: Perry's been living his dream in the guard, fighting spike feeders, proving himself to be a valuable member of the community, but his many concerns linger, weighing him down with more questions and regrets. The strange event within the dungeon. The rise of the prey-movement. The critical mass of spike feeders looming around the corner. Things have been going wrong for Titan City, and it feels like they're only going to get worse. Can he help save what he's worked for or will it all fall to ruin? Part 1 - Killing Roar: When Perry was blessed with a platypus beast soul, he thought his chances of joining the village guard were over. No one had every heard of a platypus. It seemed like an obvious prey soul, given it wasn't in the village's records. Only the strongest could be part of the village guard. He thought that would never get the chance to defend the village from the spike feeders, the deadly creatures jutting out with hazardous spikes haphazardly all over. Only predator beast souls were given the requisite training and allowed to join the village guard. Perry just didn't meet their criteria. He was also wrong.Soon Perry will live out his wildest dreams and more, as he scales the rankings of beast soul mastery, fights innumerable dangerous spike feeders and solves mysteries related to the origin of beast souls and spike feeders. And maybe, just maybe, he'll even get to join the city guard. Genre-wise, Mortal Mewling is a GameLit story (light on the GameLit) focused on action and adventure. The Gore tag is there more as a precaution, rather than a promise to keep producing gory words. Mortal Mewling is a bit of a slow burn in terms of start, scale and capacity of the protagonist. Book 2... has now begun! Updates Monday and Thursday

The Samsara Dirge: Adventures in Post-Apocalyptic Broadcasting
It was not the apocalypse anyone expected. They called it the Changes. (Which might sound boring, though it was no such thing!) During this time, reality itself was suspended. Anything could happen, and often did. Who could have anticipated flying turtles, lighter than air futons, the appearance of the color slurkle, or the eradication of differential calculus? After a year and a half of such wonders, it all stopped. The world was not the same, nor the people in it. Why had it happened and how did it end? Would it return? No one knew. Silverio Moreno, irrepressibly optimistic host of one of the most popular post-apocalyptic gameshows, wants answers. And the truth might just bring in his highest ratings yet!
