Just to break the trend of excellent art, here’s a thrown-together story!

Can you fuse magic and science? That’s a question my SSSSona (a dangerously optimistic Swedish scientist called Julian) has been wondering a lot about recently – and it turns out Sunflower’s SSSSona might know more about that than she’d like to let on. So this is a story of the two of them ‘sneaking’ into the Mora archives offices, trying to find out what happened to a previous magic/science research team that vanished in mysterious circumstances.
(It’s something of a sequel to this, which ended up on the expeditions thread)

Infiltration
(because coming up with titles is hard)

Hope you all like it, and thanks again to Sunflower for letting me write her SSSSona!

Sara: wow this is absolutely horrifying
Juilan: HELL YEAH

buts its getting pretty interesting
and stuff

(look at me. most best with words.)

EDIT:

YO
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

anyone up for an art trade

Yay! It sounds like he'll fit in well with the other mages. And don't worry: there are plenty of artists here who would draw him for you if you ask  ;)

So I finally got around to reading Arbet's profile. Strelok and he might actually get along, or might be opposite poles of the spectrum, hard to say at this point.

Anyway, very interesting, Very simmilar to a charter I rolled up for a GURPS fallout campaign. (Arizona ranger captured by the master and experimented on with FEV, failed to create a supermutant and he was thrown into the refuse pit, then his new abilities manifested and he fell through the shadows and escaped that way). Basically it was a loophole way of getting a shadow-mage into what should have been a straightforward gunplay rpg, and fit into canon because there's a couple of the master's experiments that have dimension breaking abilities bordering on magic.

Actually now that I think about it.. most RPG characters I've created fall into the Shadowmage realm of things. Oh well.

Haiz, when reading about you and Mélusine visiting the Mucha-museum I got really inspired, so for my art trade with Helia, I attempted the same style :) And I'm looking forward to my very own kitty amigurumi! Which I'll likely get in person!!

Rosy frame was done with pen and paper then scanned it (Ithink photoshop-users might like the "multiply"-tool, if you label your scanned/photographed sketch multiply instead of normal. it makes black become opaque and white invisible so it acts like an ordinary sketch-layer), because clean lines is something I can't really do in photoshop. For the same reason, the lines on Helia were done as vectors in a completely different program (Pencil2D, a free animating software).

As Haiz said, this is time well spent. And I also vote for the creation of a ssssona meme/edit thread.

Random question: Is there a 'sona D&D thread. Not the RP, but full-on fantasy adaptation. I think it would be awesome.
