Adorable chonker. Powerlifting and pizza enthusiast. Two and a half metres of disaster. And, essentially, a kitten.

You can read about what happened and why she's like that now in the 'Remain - Regain - Reclaim' mini-story, in case you're interested.
And, if you got to this page before reading any of the stories and posts, I think I should warn you. There's no 'family-friendly' content, the entire log is human-unfriendly. Texts listed below, especially the later ones, may contain things I can't recommend for younger, emotional or impressionable readers. Consider everything rated 'R'.

Unguided
(20 episodes)
(20 episodes)
Chronicles of a freelance combat pilot who went to wage her own war against the major powers. Completely unsystematic, mixed up and chaotic, both in general and within each episode, without any planned scenario, as this way of life really is. Events, strategies, decisions, observations... And the path of a pilot and her trusty ship through it. Accidental weird humour included.

Exposure

(15 episodes in 23 posts, 7 of which are in my logbook)
Have you ever thought of what imaginary characters might do in their free time? Of them creating their own characters? Of what made your character who they are? What was in the background of your mind at the moment you created that virtual personality? Does it have any features you'd like to have in your own, real life, but you can't? And now, imagine... What if your characters have thoughts of their own, wishes of their own, including those truly private, inner self moments they aren't going to tell anybody?
The story was written in collaboration with Kira (Kasumi) Goto.

Purgatory
(22 episodes)
(22 episodes)
Deep in the jungle, under a thick layer of clouds, a group of marines conducts a covert operation that immediately gets out of hand in the worst way possible, with every their new discovery looking more horrific than the other. The sanity is slowly slipping away under the pressure of the macabre display of what humans could possibly do, and the only safe place left is behind the trigger. A cruel, graphic, tenacious and unforgiving story filled with violence and despair, not recommended for younger or emotional readers.
Some scenes were generously provided by J-Dog162.

A single journal entry dedicated to Kittenshine. What it is exactly, why it appears in my texts from time to time, and why it's so important for me. Why, if not for Kittenshine, I might not have been here to tell my stories. Contains potentially disturbing descriptions of mental health condition effects.

A single entry written shortly after in-game destruction of the first Titan, the Taranis, which I participated in personally. A mix of an actual Titan sabotage manual, some story moments, a bit of ranting, and so on. Peppered with my usual wacky humour of course.
