The Blob 2: They Call Me Mellow... The Blob had enjoyed its first night on this new world. It had added some red to it and made some very miserable, dull people into colorful, vibrant characters. But the night passed and by daybreak, it realized that things were even worse here than he thought. Daybreak brought the 8 AM work crowd. To and fro, The Blob watched from the roof of a bank as the bustling downtown area filled with shoppers and commuters. They wore suits and shirts and ties. Boring things, The Blob decided. This place needed more help than it might be able to give, it thought. There were simply too many of them. Still, it thought

Chapter 6 - Olivia's Apartment It had been a while since Olivia had told Dylan that everything was going to be okay having meant it. But moments ago, with all of them laughing and enjoying themselves like the friends they'd always been, she didn't even have to say it to believe it was true. Forget since these cursed rings showed up; this was the best she'd felt about her friends in weeks. Lyle's words of initiative brought her back to earth. "Monday's Grain, is tomorrow's pain." Dylan read. "What does that mean..." "Well, it obviously has something to do with your ring." Lyle guessed. "So let's start there." "Well, I've got a theory, if

Chapter 5 - Dylan's Apartment, 1 hour Earlier "Let's just get my stuff and get out." Dylan said nervously. "Why? You afraid of getting jumped here?" Olivia asked, concerned. "No...it's my roommate. I'd rather not deal with him anymore like this." "Gotcha." She replied. Dylan was hoping Todd just wasn't there. The last run in had been enough. She insulted her, twice over, hit on her, and propositioned her. It had just been...icky. If there was any bright side to it, it was that his last performance would be pretty hard to top. But if anyone could find a way to do it, it was Todd. She crept the door open slowly, trying not to make noise.

Chapter 4 - University Store The University Store was a large, behemoth of a building. It was at once a bookstore, a clothing outlet for college apparel, and a gift shop full of trinkets of questionable functionality. But it did sell clothes. Lyle was no fashion expert, and simply being stuck in the body of a fashion model was no cure for that. At the moment, that was okay. She wasn't looking for clothing to best accentuate her new beauty. She was looking for shit she actually wanted to wear. She'd tried on jeans until she finally found some that fit. Then she bought 5 of them. She bought a number of t-shirts, and a zip up cotton jacket t

Chapter 3 A faced stared from the darkness. It was harsh and gloomy. It had no eyes; those had worn away over the years. Its shape had faded as well, loosing definition. But even though the years had not been kind to it, it stared forward; hanging in the dark like a ghost. For a time, it said nothing. It merely hovered, casting grim judgment with its gaze. After a time, it spoke in a cold, raspy voice. "You only think you're forgetting me." It said. "But I know better. Time has blackened my eyes and obscured my face; your memory grows faint, but you remember all the same." He said nothing. He had long ago run out of a position with which

Chapter 2 - Student Union She had to give Ymir credit. When he had frozen her, and stopped her from stealing the ring and flogging the young man senseless, she had been absolutely furious. But now that they were sitting on a college campus, disguised as those two lovebirds that she petrified down in the basement, she had to admit that he might have been on to something. He had been able to use the boy to track the location of the rings here. In theory, she owed him an apology. But that wasn't really her thing. Right now, the the couple formed a lovely stone figurine decorating the bottom of her purse right next to the boy's true body. All s

Part 4 Chapter 1 – Olivia's Apartment "So you're telling me that the rings got out of Johnny's claw machine contain the powers of ancient gods, and that Medusa, Ymir, Loki and Aphrodite are all looking for them." Olivia asked skeptically as she eyed Dylan and Lyle. She had received her first explanation in the car with Lyle. That told about half the story. The rest she learned from Dylan when she returned to the apartment after meeting Loki. It all sounded pretty unbelievable to her. "Yes." Answered Dylan. "That about sums it up." "Well alrighty then." She responded. "Sounds like the best answer I've heard so far." Lyle giggled a b

Chapter 8 - Congressional Hotel, Michigan Avenue She was a beautiful woman. There was no denying that. Even as the proclaimed goddess of beauty sat a few feet away, it was Glenda that Bill Game's mind was continually drawn to. She was fit, first and foremost. She was very pretty, but there was an underlying hardness that suggested her as someone apart from the "Sit around a look pretty" crowd that so densely populated his circles. This woman could take care of herself, he thought. She was a blond too. That helped. Those were rare where he was from. In the land she was in now, blond was generic, but to him it was exotic. He was here to do a j
