Philip and Jack enjoy spring break at a resort joined by their new "friends"
-
The salt-tinged breeze off the Gulf carried the sounds of splashing, distant music, and the shrieks of college students. The Azure Cove Resort was spring break chaos incarnate, a kaleidoscope of tanned skin, neon swimwear, and plastic cups. But in Villa Seven, a luxurious three-story beachfront property, a different kind of chaos reigned.
Vanessa, stretched out on a lounger, gave a loud, unladylike burp. She was wearing a tiny, leopard-print bikini that showcased her incredible figure, but her posture was pure slouch, one hand shoved into a bag of Doritos. Philip, pass the controller. You’re hogging Luigi and you suck with him.”
Next to her, Karen—resplendent in a sophisticated, navy one-piece that somehow looked both elegant and athletic—snorted. She was meticulously building an elaborate castle in the sand, her focus intense. “Hey guys. I’m almost done with the moat. Then we need to get more beer. The stuff here is overpriced and weak.” Her voice, though Karen’s cultured alto, carried Philip’s cadence and blunt practicality.
This was the new reality. The “reflection” left by the spell hadn’t faded; it had solidified, merged, and taken the driver’s seat. Vanessa’s vibrant, sorority-girl spark was now filtered through Philip’s more cautious, observant, and secretly geeky mind. Karen’s poised, powerful executive was now guided by his same sensibilities—a love for strategy, a dry wit, and a deep-seated appreciation for cold beer and hot wings. They were still Vanessa and Karen, with their own memories and lives, but their core personality, their id, was undeniably Philip’s. And they were gloriously, unabashedly happy about it.
On the other side of the cabana, the other pair held court. Katy, in a bright yellow string bikini, was engaged in a fierce, trash-talking match over Super Smash Bros. with Jack, shirtless and grinning.
“You’re cheating! Samus’s charge shot is totally OP!” Katy yelled, her face a mask of fierce concentration that was all Jack’s competitive spirit.
“Skill issue, babe,” chuckled Jack, dodging a virtual attack. Beside him, Sarah—looking effortlessly chic in a wide-brimmed hat and a sheer black cover-up—leaned over, her silver hair brushing his shoulder.
“He’s right, you know,” Sarah said, her voice a smoky echo of Jack’s own mischievous tone. “You’re being predictable. Gotta mix up the approach. Like with that blonde volleyball team over there.” She nudged Jack and pointed discreetly with her chin towards a group of athletic …

Colm's party splits one silver a month. So when he overhears about a dungeon nobody's logged yet, he doesn't wait for the rest of his crew. He grabs the party healer, Agnes, burns their emergency teleport scroll, and goes in.
They come out with more gold than any of them have ever seen. Agnes comes out a little different.
She cooks better now. She's friendlier, too. Much friendlier. And there's something purple living in her that's been sealed in a box for a thousand years and is very, very bored.
Aldous was an alchemist once. And after relentless experiments he's now a colony of slugs who can wear anyone he likes, and he's decided Colm is the closest thing he has to a friend. He's promised to let his hosts keep control most of the time.
He's lying.
The clerk counted my pay out one coin at a time, slowly, like each one hurt her personally.
“Eleven copper,” she said.
“The posting said fifteen.”
“The farmer docked you four. For the hat.”
“The goat ate my hat.”
“He says it gave her a stomachache.”
The farmer told us she was a very special goat. He made us walk ten steps behind her the whole way so she wouldn't get nervous. She was not nervous. She ate my hat, and then, apparently, she charged me for it.
I scooped the coin…
