Summary
"An immense saucer descending from the clouds and impacting the ground, as the press and through them the people of Earth looked on in shock and awe. That was the scene in California's Mohave desert two years ago today: the historic first view of the Alternian ship upon its dramatic arrival. Their ship was a refugee ship carrying a quarter million children and young adults ready to settle in almost any environment, but they washed ashore on Earth with no way to get back to where they came from. Civil liberties attorneys successfully lobbied for the Alternians' release from quarantine and in the last two years, the Alternians have become the latest addition to the population of Los Angeles."
The representitives of a race of newcomers fight to give their people a home on Earth- but even without the deadly killer stalking the streets of LA, just surviving is hard enough for some. Can humans and aliens work together to build a better future? Or is it all doomed to end in bloodshed?
One thing is for sure - for sixteen teenagers, this is going to be a dangerous week.

Summary
"Sometimes Dave returns bringing his own dinner in the same sack, and you both eat and talk about your time spent before going to sleep. Tonight he had fairly crawled back from the dj thing, trailing the sickly-brown reek of those awful cigarette things humans like. Underneath that, you could smell that he was deeply bone-tired, a scent like rainclouds approaching and dust just under his skin. You finished one more volley in an online argument with Vriska and blocked her for good measure before closing the husktop so he could hand you a huge paper bag. It crinkled in your grasp, redolent with wonderful odours."
An exploration of Terezi's senses and food, heavily pT-influenced, that kind of tried to become a consideration of adaptation on both personal and larger scales, because I am apparently incapable of fluff.

Summary
Azelas, or so a desert-crazy history lecturer had taught one young Archadian, was a name sourced in the original desert tribes, ancestors who had been Dalmascan before even Raithwall's ascendancy, since even before Dalmasca was called what it was. The joke (rumour, reputation, myth) circled amongst Imperials who had fallen foul of Vossler's command or of his greatsword's shadow. Captain Azelas' bloodline had been so long in Dalmasca that his kind burned black with the sun that bleached everyone else so blonde.
