The currents of Aventure are as familiar to Amber as the back of her hand, the inside of her eyelids. And she's always the center of them. And ever since Marie learned - presumably from Luke - that Am...

The door opens again, perhaps an hour later. The lights flick on and Neela groans and stirs awake as Carissa comes through the door. "Oh- hi Amber!" She says cheerfully, before noticing the rather sum...

Velo is, all things considered, an exhilarating friend to have. After seeing a movie - a horror picture called 13 Watershed Lane about a haunted house that Velo mostly took as an opportunity to squeez...

Apartments in New York are small as a rule, and this one is no exception. Living room, bedroom, bathroom, small kitchen, all present and accounted for. But, Amber notices, unlike many New York apartme...

Amber's little domain is comforting in its stability. As strange as the world outside Aventure grows, as terrifying as those she rubs elbows with become, this place stays... as it is. Secure. Familiar...

Amber mingles with the dead, making introductions here and there, rubbing shoulders with people who may very well be older than the country they stand in. Snow swirls through the night outside the lar...

Getting up at around 4:00 is a strange experience for Amber. Of course she knew it would get dark earlier than any other day, but the feeling of rolling over and checking the clock to see a digit lowe...

Documents have been filed, lawyers have been hired to scurry around talking to judges and other lawyers in their secret code language they think Amber can't understand, pausing now and then to "clue h...

The space behind the altar is dark, so dark that even Amber's vampiric eyes have a difficult time adjusting. But the walls and floor are smoothly hewn stone, and she can feel the opening precisely whe...

Content warning: Ritual human sacrifice. Skip this chapter if you don't want to read about that - everything that follows will still make sense. The Dominguez... compound, perhaps? The property that h...

The Grand Wyndham Hotel looms over the street, an austere art deco spike thrust into the heart of Manhattan, disdainful of the smooth modern artifice of glass and steel to either side of it. Buttresse...

Hernan Salazar's yacht takes up a berth at a private marina that would probably cost more than a mortgage on a small house. No living below his means to keep under the radar for Mr. Salazar, it seems....

Velo looks a little out of place in Aventure. Her proudly displayed sleeves and copious piercings are a bit much for the usual crowd of college students. And Velo very much knows that, walking around...

The university's library is arranged in several floors of a circle around a central rotunda. Plenty of little quiet corners and nooks, not even considering the actual study rooms. With a bit of time t...

Cuddling under the blanket is another very human activity, and another way to conveniently share Carissa's warmth in order to hide her own lack of it. It's not a subterfuge that will stand up to any r...
13. Amber Hart, once more reprise
Carissa looks at Amber shyly, still flushed. "So um... are we just waiting to see if it happens...?" "That was my plan. If nothing does, then I get a lovely woman's head on my lap while I watch a movi...

For a bit of quiet poking around her new potential purchase, Amber is dressed as inconspicuously as she ever is - in this case jeans and a tank top, the sort of thing any old college student might wea...

Siveri's office at the import/export company he owns is small as such things go. Befitting the modest industry of the enterprise, it's just a rented half of a floor in a larger office building, with h...

Public records are full of information, if one knows how to search them. Amber does. Dona Dominguez's property is owned by a holding company. The holding company is owned by a Mr. Blakely, but the add...
